The NFL finished the 2025 season with nine clubs firing their head coaches, including the Cleveland Browns. What is that, like just over 28% of head coaching positions? Seems like a lot.

Kind of a quiet day on the ol’ college basketball front, at least in terms of national television. This is mostly because of the NFL Playoffs, as ESPN is broadcasting one of the games and so obviously that means that the network is occupied from 11am Central through 5:30pm. We can ask why Fox is […]
