Behind the Line

Rex Ryan Wrongly Blasted By Outkick

Rex Ryan commented on the firing of Urban Meyer Sunday morning on ESPN. Rex Ryan claimed Urban Meyer was never qualified to coach in the NFL...and that Urban Meyer didn't possess the work ethic needed to be successful.

Anthony Ferris at Outkick took exception to this assessment. He insinuated that Rex Ryan wasn't qualified to speak on Urban Meyer in this manner. We dispel the notion of Anthony Ferris that Rex Ryan isn't qualified to speak on coaching in the NFL.

We make the case that Rex Ryan is actually over-qualified...while respectfully disagreeing with Outkick and Anthony Ferris.

Terrell Owens Claims Deion Sanders Has Recruiting Advantage Because He‘s Black

Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders was able to sign Travis Hunter. Travis Hunter is considered to be the top high school football player in the country. Travis Hunter passed on a chance to play at Florida State to join Deion Sanders at Jackson State.

Terrell Owens and Hugh Douglas claim Deion Sanders was able to pull off this unprecedented accomplishment because of his skin color. We dispel the notion that skin tone was the reason Travis Hunter committed to Jackson State.

We provide the real reason Deion Sanders was able to successfully recruit Travis Hunter.

Fake LeBron James Claims People Get Offended If He Keeps It Real

LeBron James posted another cryptic message to Instagram over the weekend. In the post...LeBron James claimed that being fake has become so accepted...that people now get offended when others keep it real.

We react to the irony of this message coming from LeBron James. We highlight numerous instances...where LeBron James has been fake. 

We also discuss the altercation between Dennis Rodman and Jet Blue. Dennis Rodman had the police called on him...because he refused to properly wear his mask on the flight.

Will Adam Silver Follow NHL & Shutdown NBA Season

The NHL recently announced they will shutdown their season through Christmas due to the COVI. We've seen an increasing number of cases in the NFL and NBA...with both leagues electing to postpone games.

However...will Adam Silver follow the NHL lead...and shutdown the NBA regular season? We discuss what we think Adam Silver will do...and why we believe Adam Silver will temporarily shutdown the NBA season.

We explain how Adam Silver has folded to media pressure in the past...and the media is pressuring sports leagues to "properly" handle the virus.

Brandon Brown Admits Being Silenced Regarding LET‘S GO BRANDON Chant

NASCAR Brandon Brown has remained strangely silent in the three months following the birth of the Let's Go Brandon chant. Earlier this morning...we were finally given the reason. Brandon Brown gave an interview to the New York Times...and also wrote an op-ed for Newsweek.

Brandon Brown admitted being silenced after the Let's Go Brandon chant was born. Brandon Brown claims his advisors were hoping the chant would go away...and they worried about losing sponsors if he spoke out.

We compare the Brandon Brown situation to Bubba Wallace...and how both were handled differently. Brandon Brown claimed he will no longer be silenced...and will begin speaking on political issues he cares about. Will he appeal to common-sense thinkers...or his woke sponsors?

Saints Defense Is Tom Brady Kryptonite

The defense of the New Orleans Saints once again dominated Tom Brady on Sunday Night Football. For the first time in his career...Tom Brady was shutout at home...as Dennis Allen and the Saints defense dominated him through four quarters.

We explain why the Saints defense is able to dominate Tom Brady...and why very few other teams can replicate the dominance. While fans of the New Orleans Saints have new playoff life this morning...we explain why the Saints are still in danger of missing the playoffs.

Did Jake Paul Earn Respect Defeating Tyron Woodley

Jake Paul shocked many Saturday night when he knocked out Tyron Woodley in the sixth round. Jake Paul hasn't been taken seriously...especially by Dana White and others in the UFC. However...he did earn some respect by defeating Tyron Woodley.

We discuss whether or not Jake Paul is good for the sport of boxing...and if Dana White will give him a opportunity to join the UFC. We explain that Jake Paul isn't ready to face professional boxers...or elite MMA fighters.

Jackson Mahomes Is An Embarrassment to Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes is the epitome of what an NFL team wants in its franchise quarterback. Not only does he win games...but his character is impeccable. Patrick Mahomes is humble and more importantly...he stays out of trouble.

However...Patrick Mahomes has one major problem. His brother...Jackson Mahomes. Jackson Mahomes is an embarrassment...and is developing a concerning pattern of behavior. We discuss several embarrassing instances involving Jackson Mahomes over the last two years.

We explain how his behavior could negatively impact the public image of Patrick Mahomes.

Lia Thomas Being Ignored By Mainstream Media

Lia Thomas continues to smash records in women's swimming. However...she is being ignored by the mainstream media and high-profile social justice warriors. ESPN refuses to report on Lia Thomas...Megan Rapinoe and Jemele Hill have remained silent. 

The question is...WHY? We provide a theory as to why the mainstream media and social justice movement are ignoring Lia Thomas. We explain how Lia Thomas highlights the hypocrisy of the media...and how she falls into two different woke narratives.

Bill Simmons Folds To Pressure From Woke Twitter

We're a bit confused with Bill Simmons. Earlier this week...he floated the theory that Michele Tafoya was suspended by NBC over comments she made about Colin Kaepernick. Days later...Bill Simmons folds to pressure from woke Twitter.

We play the clip that Bill Simmons removed from his podcast featuring Jackie MacMullan...where she harmlessly impersonated Joel Embiid. This impersonation offended woke Twitter...causing Bill Simmons to issue an apology.

We also react to the NFL and NBA overreacting to social media and the mainstream media in regards to the COVI. Both leagues implemented new protocols...which are nothing but virtue signaling to social justice warriors.
