Follow Up Thursday


First,  I'm still waiting for an answer to my email.  I asked the people who run the parking program in Scranton why meters aren't enforced on Juneteenth, but they are on MLK Day.

I've always felt it was bad karma to advocate for someone losing their job, but here goes.  Why are Mike McCarthy, Mike Tomlin and Nick Sirianni still working?

McCarthy leads the Dallas Cowboys, notorious under achievers.

Mike Tomlin told the Steelers he will be back next season, the final year of his contract.  That's unfortunate.  The Steelers lost to some awful teams this year.  Penalties.  Sloppy play.  Unprepared.  It all reflects back on the coach.  Tomlin loses control of his team at least once a year.  Trivia:  What team has surrendered the most points during its last five playoff games?  The Pittsburgh Steelers.  I add this is the guy who thinks Mitchell Trubisky, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph are the answers to the team's quarterback problem.  If that isn't enough, you cannot overlook that classless exit at the news conference after the Buffalo loss Monday afternoon.

The Philadelphia Eagles simply quit playing for Nick Sirianni this season, and it was an embarrassment.

You just wonder how these things can happen.

CBS could have done something interesting with the 12:30 am time slot vacated by James Cordon.  It gave us a "comedy" game show on the cheap, with a bunch of unknowns.  What little humor there is, is forced to the extreme.  I'm not a Seth Meyers fan, but the people over at NBC are sleeping a little easier these days.
