We'll talk to you on the other side of those title games to get right for Super Bowl 60.

Until then, thanks so much, my fellow football Americans.

It's been a thin slice of heaven.

Can I interrupt?

I'll address the Keon situation.

The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon.

I'm not saying Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice.

That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice of his coaching staff who felt strongly about the player.

And, you know, he's taken, for some reason, heat over it and not saying a word about it.

But I'm here to tell you the true story.

Hi and hello my fellow football Americans.

We got our guy Maurice Jones-Drew on the way to help get right for the divisional round.

Meantime, we got us a real glass half empty or is it half full situation.

As you may have heard, Mike Tomlin's 19-year run as Steelers head coach ended on Tuesday and ever since it's been a non-stop Marty Supreme promotion with opinions ping-ponging from one side saying Tomlin wasn't appreciated enough to the other side saying they wish he'd left a decade ago.

Now, on one hand, Tomlin's this century's greatest floor raiser.

Some of those teams he got to the playoffs had no business being there.

And on the other hand, he underachieved by not reaching a Super Bowl over the five-year stretch he had one of the league's five best quarterbacks, one of the two best wide receivers, and the best running back.

Was it impressive he went to two Super Bowls in his first four years?

Yes.

Was it bad he didn't win a playoff game in his last nine years?
