Rams Fire Coach And GM After 2-14 Season

In The NFL you must win and Steve Spagnuolo and general manager Billy Devaney did not do it enough and now are looking for employment. The Rams let both individuals go in a sign the Rams wanted to go a different direction. There are many reasons it did not work for Steve Spagnuolo and the Rams. The Rams had many different injuries and that did not help him. A few breaks here or there would have to, but it did not happen. Even some great graduates of sports medicine schools
would have helped the team with their injuries. A 2-14 record and dwindling attendance did not help Spagnuolo keep his job.

The St. Louis Rams need a coach who will be patient as they do have a young team. With a high draft pick the Rams have some tough choices to make. Is Sam Bradford the future for them or should they consider other options. How about a running back, wide receiver or defensive help? The first thing is to get a coach, but they will have a lot of decision in the coming months. No matter what happens the Rams will be going in a different direction in 2012.

Bucs Axe Raheem Morris Wants fresh Start

The writing was on the wall for Raheem Morris even if he did not want to see it. Going 17-31 is not something the Buccaneers wanted to see from Morris or a 10 game losing streak this season. After a 10-6 record in 2010-11 season big things were expected, but it never happened. The Bucs started 4-2, but the wheels feel off the ship and they went downhill from there.

Tampa Bay is a very young team and Raheem Morris did all he could, but new leadership was needed. The Buccaneers are young and need a coach with a lot more experience to lead them. Morris was just not the guy to do it. I told people this when the Bucs let go of Jon Gruden. Now the Buccaneers will need to find another coach and the search begins. let's hope they find a coach that will work out long-term and not be another coaching carousel in Tampa Bay.

Has Tim Tebow And Broncos Lost Their Magic?

The Denver Broncos are headed to the playoffs for the first time in a long time. but it wasn't because of Tim Tebow or what the team did on their own. Others lost and handed them the AFC West Title, but they will take it. Tebow went against his former teammate and looked horrible. Tebow was 6 of 22 passes for 60 yards and had a critical red zone fumble. If you have those kind of numbers you will never beat any NFL team. Next up for Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Pittsburgh's defense is one of the best in the league and I can imagine Tim Tebow is in for a long day against the Steelers. Tebow has not seen anything that will come at him like the Steelers. You thought the numbers against the Chiefs were bad wait until the Steelers come to town. It could be a make or break game in Tim Tebow's career. Unless he plays better it looks like the magic has worn off Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos.

Brock Lesnar Calls It Quits IN UFC After Loss

Brock Lesnar rose quickly in the ranks of the UFC and he has left just as quickly. After suffering a first round loss to Alistair Overeem Brock lesnar has decided it is time to retire from the UFC. He leaves with a 5-3 record and a World Championship to his credit. He has been battling health issues and that may have been one of the reasons Lesnar felt it was time to go. Fighting in the heavyweight division is tough and you need to be as healthy as possible every night to compete.

For Lesnar he made a lot of money and really help UFC take off and become a mainstream spot for millions of people. Lesnar was a brute inside the ring, but just could not shake diverticulitis a disease that he has been battling recently. No matter how big and strong you are sometimes a disease can take a lot out of you. At least Brock Lesnar can retire knowing he gave it all he could and never have any regrets.
