NFL 2021: The Week 15 thread

It's not even Christmas yet!

Congratulations Legion on winning your super bowl.

Jags probably crush the Texans this weekend with football Jesus going off.

Thoughts and prayers to Legion on this most trying of days for his franchise.

Meanwhile ...

I love it when a discussion comes full circle!

In other related news, my top three trenders on Twitter this morning were:

* Urban Meyer

* Matt Rhule

* Lou Holtz

Gee, I wonder what the common thread could be.

This image perfectly sums up the Urban Meyer news:

Not to defame kickers too much (F*ck Roberto Aguayo, sorry, habit), but the idea that the almighty Urban Meyer could be tossed aside and lose tens of millions of dollars because he was a dick to a kicker . . . that would absolutely and utterly be:

This aged perfectly.

As it turns out, if you assault one of your players your 2-11 record won't save your job.

The Jaguars are a team that drafted a punter instead of Russell Wilson, so I think it's safe to say this is really a franchise that deeply values its special teams contributor. Urban should have known better.

I guess Urban couldn't... *puts on sunglasses* ... outkick the coverage.

Tragically cut off right before the end, where it would get to the perfect clip. Who finally got rid of Urban?

In other hilarious news, Pat Mahomes' brother (yes the one that danced on Sean Taylor's number in DC for a TikTok video) just got absolutely roasted by a bar in Kansas City.

It’s time to have a talk.

Today we are experiencing a lot of activity over social media regarding a recent visit paid to us by an unhappy guest. This person happens to have a lot of followers on social media and therefor it is something that we cannot ignore.

Voice, reach and influence are power. In our case, and with many businesses that are locally owned, the power of a few social media personalities can make or break that business. This grants these people this certain power to effect our livelihoods.

There are those who have built their influence by being responsible, informed, positive and sincere.

There are also those that have built their followings by being the opposite.

That being said, we have some apologies to make.

Dear @jacksonmahomes

We are sorry that we set boundaries that you tried to ignore. Often times people with un-earned status and a sense of entitlement think they are above the rules and will lash out at the employee enforcing them.

We are sorry we could not seat your very large group. As you probably saw, our bar is very small.

We are sorry that you have the reach that you do, or at least that you think you do and that instead of using it for something positive you decided to use it to try and crush a small business.

We survived a global pandemic, we’ll survive your ego.

We are sorry you didn’t reach out to us first before taking to social media, but then again that is an expectation we would have from a mature and rational person, not someone who pours water on fans and dances on the memorials of tragically lost people for TikTok clout.

We have not been fortunate enough to be born into a much more talented and much more famous family but we would like to think that if we did have that much luck- we would use our influence in more responsible ways.

We hope our apology finds you well

I am going there for a cocktail for that one. That is 2 blocks from my office.

Someone got called on their DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM nonsense. Always nice to see.

I just wish last night I hadn't tuned out from the internet 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE STORY BROKE.

The fact that he was comfortable physically assaulting a millionaire coworker really sheds all the light you need on how he likely treated impoverished students at his previous jobs.

Complete and utter douchebag. I hope he never works again.

It goes on a bit long, but, well, that's why I don't watch many of his videos. Still, think this one is worth it.

It's 3 minutes long. It only feels like it goes on forever because being a Jaguars fan feels like that.

Frankly, Meyer’s absence may not have set off any alarms among the staff. One of the complaints that had been making the rounds about the failed first-year coach was that he left the office early, allowing others to work while he didn’t.

Urban Meyer was the Donald Trump of NFL coaches.

Case Keenum tests positive for COVID. This weekend's sizing up to become a real sh*tshow.

That means Washington vs Philly may very well be Nick Mullens vs. Gardner Minshew.

Fight, my ex QBs!

You know this means that Darrell Bevell might end up being the Good Guy in all of this.

Just as Legion hoped!

In all seriousness, if the only real thing Urban Meyer did was bring in a lot of top tier assistants then there's a really good chance the next HC is already on staff. I think that's what you'll see after the Jags finish the season strong.

I am well aware that the end result of this may simply be Bevell and Schottenheimer getting promotions, while Baalke remains as GM.

I will deal with that possibility when the season ends.

Until then, I am celebrating the removal of a verified POS who hired a known racist POS and then tried to defend it after the fact.

I can cheer for a team with a sh*tty Seattle Coach Voltron offense, but I could not cheer for a team run by that rotten human being any longer.

I'm still holding out hope for some Caldwell Face next year though.

What are the odds he plays the cancel culture card in the next week?

Case plays for my team. And I have no idea who the third stringer is right now.

Edit: it’s ducking Nick Mullins.

Again

Damn. I mixed up where Case is now.

I knew Mullens was behind Case, and Case played for Washington but that was 2019.

I'll just have to settle for them playing in different games on the same week, then.
