This is one of the main reasons McDaniels was fired lol.

I doubt that has much to do with it.

Main reasons? You're clueless. He got fired for doing his own spygate + losing.

Just read Fox is allowing political ads during the Super Bowl....and I'm out. Who wants to see that nonsense during the big game?

I think what Brady does will be the #1 story of the offseason. A close 2nd, for me, is what New Orleans does with their stable of very good to great QBs.
Do they hand it over to Hill. Figure Bridgewater might be a huge trade option. Or keep Teddy and trade Hill.

Ever so often when I get up during the week I watch First Take or Undisputed and this morning I woke up and turned on Undisputed and the opening segment is about Mike McCarthy and Cowboys? This is the 2nd weekend of the playoffs, why not start with that instead, Cowboys didn’t even make the playoffs.

You really think Brady would leave New England? I just can’t see it.

I wish I knew.
What I do know is the guy has taken played for a discount for several years, and I’m guessing if New England wants to retain his services they are going to have to pony up.
Or he looks back on the greatest resume in NFL history and he cuts them a deal with the understanding they add some playmakers to the offense(not named Antonio Brown).
Or maybe he retires.

He says he has "something to prove." All I can think of is he wants to prove he can win without Belichick. But I agree, I think Kraft finds a way to keep him on a relatively cheap two-year deal.

The Gisele™ makes so much coin is the reason why TB12 has taken a discount for several years. And in the past The Pats have used that savings to add some talent around him. I agree, if he stays I see him wanting a contract that's worthy of his resume.

NO is already saying Teddy is staying I wonder if it will be his team next year

One of the main reasons, I like how you conveniently left that out. The spygate incident (which I'm well aware of, it happened to a team I follow almost religiously) was the final straw so to speak. Trading 3 picks to move back into the first round to pick someone who wasn't good enough to be a first round pick was widely considered a dumb and costly move back in 2010 and looks even worse today with Tebow's career ending after only a couple of seasons.

Can still watch the game and just switch to something else during the ads. Wouldn't miss the Super Bowl over something like that.

[Waboman]

The 4K TNF games had no commercials. I'm guessing the 4K broadcast of the SB won't have any either. Then again, the commercials are a big part of the SB. Although, I agree, political commercials have no place during the game. They get old fast. Best to have a remote close and a strong mute finger.

Tebow didn't get to play before McDaniels got fired, but was the reason he got fired? That's not how the NFL evaluates draft picks. His subsequent failure to latch on with another team is neither proof that he was or wasn't a good pick. Lot of non football reasons for Tebow not being in the league anymore.
