They don’t call them the Cincinnati Bungles for nothing.<\/p>\n

I apologize for being late in getting this up. I had a series of events (the good kind of event, not the bad kind) yesterday that had me out of the house until 7:30 PM. Among those events was driving down to Gruene<\/a> to meet up with a relative I had not seen in at least 25 years, and maybe closer to 40. While it was fun, it’s also about 90 minutes each way in pretty heavy traffic, so I pretty much got home and went straight to bed.<\/p>\n

Anyway<\/strong>, NFL teams that have a chance to go 0-17:<\/p>\n

None.<\/p>\n

Seriously, Cincinnati? 39-38<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Oh, well. There are still five winless teams in the NBA, and I’ll probably do an update on Friday.<\/p>\n

Bonus firing:<\/p>\n

Speaking of the war font…story here<\/a>. ESPN<\/a>. 34-14 over “four seasons”, but they’ve lost three out the past four games, and got beat 49-25 by Texas A&M on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Texas A&M is 8-0. I’m wondering if there’s a chance that we might see a national champion from Texas this year…and it won’t be the one everyone expected at the start of the season.<\/p>\n

Edited to add: also out now, LSU offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan<\/a>. One story I saw said that the athletic director approached Brian Kelly and told him to fire Sloan. Kelly allegedly said “No, I want to fire these people instead,” and the response was to fire Kelly, then Sloan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
