Welcome to the End Around, a weekly look back at the world of the National Football League. serves as your guide.It was a good week for ...1. Peyton Manning: Even if The Sheriff goes down in flames in the playoffs, he'll always have that one last special moment when the crowd at Mile High went mad as .2. Chuck Pagano: Pagano said finding out the made Monday the "best day of my life." His wife is going to kill him.3. Sean Payton: After much ego-stroking, Payton is and will likely get an extension to boot. But does anyone actually believe Payton when he says he never wants to coach anywhere else? You lie!It was a bad week for ...1. Lovie Smith: In November, Lovie was a buzzy Coach Of The Year candidate. In January, he's . Hell of a league.2. Johnny Manziel: It took just two years for
Tyler Smith Jersey Manziel's NFL career to complete its transition to total farce territory. at work, ill-timed Vegas sojourns, blonde wigs, faux geotags, dog accomplices. Run, , run. 3. Jim Tomsula: The asked him to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic, then they forced him to . Now why would anyone want to work there?Ragnar's darkest dayVikings (former) mascot Ragnar has choice words for fans... reacts FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) This is undoubtedly the greatest mi step in mascot history. Ragnar is done. He's a man without a country. He has no loyalty, and now no one will be loyal to him. And all because a FOX producer called him with a dopey idea and he didn't have the sense to say no.Meanwhile, at the Factory Of Sadne sConce sion stand worker at the Browns game. Blitzburgh (@SteelBlitzburgh) That guy should probably get fired. Meanwhile, I know history tells us there's almost no chance the ' wild decision to will be anything but another ma sive mi step for the franchise, but maybe -- just maybe -- this is the move that finally brings Marc Se sler, Phil and the rest of Nation peace.While we're here, I would like to formally suggest that Sashi Brown -- the ' other major front-office hire this week who has no significant personnel background -- drops his last name, adds a slammer and goes exclusively by Sashi! from now on.Hug a Jets fan this weekIt's bad enough the blew their playoff chances against freakin' Rex Ryan on Sunday. That alone provides enough pain to last Gang Green fans into August. It's not a true signature heartbreaking moment until a is factored into the mix. nearly scoring on a miracle 73-yard touchdown certainly
Dak Prescott Jersey qualifies."I would have scored, 100 percent," he said.Stop it, Kenbrell. STOP! fans don't want to hear that. As a fan myself, I actively hoped CBS wouldn't have time to show a replay of the near catch. How sad is that? I just knew it was going to be bad, and sure enough, tape don't lie. Thompkins had the ball and a clear path to a forever place in New York sports lore.Unfortunately, fans aren't allowed to have nice things. Where is the ' Helmet Catch? Their Holy Roller? Their Tuck Rule? I'm going to sit in my car and cry for awhile.Woody Johnson, owner of the NYJets, is s finance chairman. If Woody wouldve been w/me, he wouldve been in the playoffs, at least! Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Oh go away, turd.Kicker failHere is the only positive memory to take out of Sunday if you're a fan. I love 's teammate in the background, clearly thinking to himself, "Yep, that's why we make him sit with the equipment managers on the plane."What the what? has been with the long enough to know that you don't show up late to Bill Belichick meetings. The Hooded One cares not for
NFL Dallas Cowboys Jersey the challenges presented by often cruel New England winters.In an effort to try to get ahead of the game, Amendola had a carport constructed in his driveway to protect his car from the elements and make a dig-out scenario le s imposing in the event of a snowstorm. This is what rich people do. Who could po sibly have a problem with this?Well, other rich people in Amendola's tony Providence, R.I., neighborhood do. :The home sits on Benefit Street, a hillside thoroughfare filled with colorful restored clapboard homes featured on countle s postcards. Neighbors complain the carport is a blemish on the community's atmosphere."It's a simple utilitarian structure, but if you had tons of these around the neighborhood, it would significantly detract from the historic quality and aesthetic appearance of the Benefit Street neighborhood," said Tim More, who has lived in the neighborhood for 45 years.This is a real feud that is happening in the world right now. If I'm the ' Divisional Round opponent, I bake in defensive audible calls like "CARPORT," "BENEFIT STREET" and "AESTHETIC APPEARANCE." Amendola will crumble.Soooooo ... what's Brian Urlacher been up to?You do you, Brian. This is a no-judge zone. I'm just glad you didn't use the same guy as Dr. Tobias Funke.Urlacher's new look could take some time getting used to, but it doesn't come close to the most jarring rich bald guy transition in modern history. That belongs to Seinfeld star Jason Alexander, who started showing up on the
Dallas Cowboys Women Jersey late-night circuit one day with . This was destined to fail for one reason: Alexander was arguably the most famous bald guy in television history. There was an entire episode of Seinfeld in which Elaine eviscerated George for wearing a bad toupee! Can you imagine the phone conversation Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David had when they heard about this?Eventually, Alexander got rid of the hairpiece. He couldn't keep the impo sible dream alive. Let's hope Urlacher has a better go of it.Brett Favre's news conferenceWhen you work for "The Shield," you end up watching a lot of NFL Network. It plays most of the day on the TV at my desk, so I have a pretty rich base of knowledge when it comes to the programming and commercials. For instance, the King of Daytime Ads is unquestionably Alan Thicke, 80s sitcom star and real-life dad to R&B pariah Robin Thicke. I'm utterly convinced a divorce (or two) wiped out Thicke's Growing Pains earnings, which would explain why he's offering at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday.I have le s patience for Brett Favre, who is an NFL legend who surely made a ma sive amount of dough during his playing career. And that's before we get to all that Wrangler GWAP. I mean, really: How much of your savings can you blow through when you never leave Hattiesburg? Brett doesn't need the money.I hope someone writes an oral history one day about what it was like on the set of this commercial.Tweet Of The WeekDo not be deceived. You will reap what you sow. Coach Harbaugh (@CoachJim4UM) Now that's how you bury a former employer. Harbaugh traded ma s dysfunction and a failing roster in San Francisco for a ticket back to college and cult hero status. He wins.
Dallas Cowboys Jersey Quote of the Week*"Like many players at this stage of their career, I am currently evaluating options for my future. I would expect to have a decision regarding this matter in the not-too-distant future." *-- Calvin Johnson, who sounds like a guy who might be ready to . Hang in there, fans.Hero of the Week: Tom CoughlinIn an ideal world, Tom Coughlin's storied career would have ended with the old coach being carried off the field after a third title. Sports rarely allow such fairytale exits, though, and Coughlin was no exception.The kicked their coach of 12 years to the curb after a fourth consecutive season without a playoff berth. But credit Coughlin for going out with dignity intact. Coughlin delivered a stirring exit addre s to a roomful of reporters, team officials and players, wrapped his farewell with touching words for , then stepped off the podium and blew right by owner John Mara. It was like a scene out of a movie.Not a bad way to go out for a guy who just a few years ago looked more like than Eric Taylor.Until next time ...
