When are people going to figure out Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is a fraud? The playoff game versus Jacksonville last year was an embarrassment, and Sunday's tie with the lowly Cleveland Browns wasn't much better.
The networks have done some minor tinkering with their broadcast teams. Former Arizona head coach Bruce Arians on CBS wasn't bad. Buck/Aikman and Michaels/Collinsworth remain the cream of the crop.
I didn't catch the new ESPN team during the pre season, or Monday night.
There was a time where if you didn't catch one of the network pre game shows, you felt like you were missing something. Those days are gone. Has CBS used the same studio crew two years in a row since the network regained football rights 20 years ago?

Betting on the NFL is legal in more places this season. It seems to have taken some of the steam out of the fantasy leagues.
15 more regular season games to go.
