I think I can honestly say that if there's one thing I bring to the Barstool Sports table it's … actually I'm not sure I bring anything.

It was just about 11 months ago that Mr. Kraft promoted Jerod Mayo to head coach. So confident was he in Mayo's ability that he hired him without so much as an interview with any other available candidates.

If there was any doubt remaining that we're living in a simulation and it's taking its plot from a Tom Clancy novel , it's this.

It's truly a testament to the complete and utter dysfunctional goatfuck that is the New York Jets organization that the owner can be exposed as a meddlesome buffoon who takes his player personnel advice from the staff at EA Sports:

There's not a Patriots fan walking the Earth who hasn't torn Alex Van Pelt a new butthole this season, early and often. (And know two who left this Earth in the middle of the season who did as well.) But the consensus opinion is that, while Van Pelt has had his faults, the fact this team is 3-11 is not on him. That responsibility for that goes above the pay grade of a first-year occupant of a job that was turned down by 11 candidates with more experience. I've had my frustrations with AVP for sure.

In a broad sense, it might not be keeping with the spirit of the holiday season to be talking about firing someone. But when you think about it, people losing their jobs at Christmas has been making the Yuletide gay for centuries. Scrooge fired Bob Cratchit for adding coal to the fire, and he didn't even have family coverage for his disabled kid. At Christmas, George Bailey was hours away from losing his family business and going to prison like he was Sam Bankman-Fried. Rudolph didn't get to compete in the Reindeer Games because of his birth defect, until the worst Santa that ever lived saw a chance to exploit him. Frank Shirley fired Clark Griswold in front of his whole family on Christmas Eve, even though he was up for Food Additive Designer of the Year. Frank Cross got security to toss Elliot Loudermilk out onto the sidewalk in under five minutes. Buddy the Elf was fired from the mailroom and became just another member of NYC's homeless population. Unemployment is almost as much a part of the Christmas season as me drinking to the point I can be witty and charming around my in laws.
