They did...Kyle Bailey handled it as usual. If Celania's covid premise is accurate and there was a 2pm hard-stop on local programming seems unlikely Bailey would have been allowed to go back on the air at 6pm...not sure where he does that show from.

Their studio is in the same building as WBTV, 1079 The Link, and 1110WBT. I would think it could possibly be a contract dispute with their parent company (Entercom) or maybe they just didn’t pay their rent this month lol 1110-WBT radio programming going on as usual and the girl who does the traffic reports for both stations is on WBT today so COVID complications seem unlikely --- and that would be a story unto itself, no way to keep that under wraps. Some weird things been going on there since the Hitman (Tony DiGiacomo, GM) was exited. Swapping Bailey out of drive-time for Wilson made no sense. Wilson's partner Parcells left with no explanation. Stan Norfleet recently add, he really sucks. Will be interesting to watch...

That was an error on my part --- definitely filling the air time with national guys from CBS Sports Radio. Bill Reiter on now, he is unlistenable. FYI...ownership of the stations (WFNZ & WBT) changed back in early November. Entercom and a company called Urban One swapped some stations in different markets. Urban One positions itself as: "...the largest diversified media company that primarily targets Black Americans and urban consumers in the United States. We provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the African-American and urban audiences through our national multi-media operations."

Agreed. Pretty sure E.B. interviewed for all the vacancies this cycle.

Now no Kyle Bailey show... ...something is up for sure!

Sounds like some sort of ESPN national feed airing in their place. Yesterday Tiki & Tierney aired in place of Wilson in 2p-6p slot. Wonder what's going on...

Seems as though the conclusion is to ride-on with TB5...

If they are always "equivalent" and "at times better"... ...seems the league should go to 100% female officiating crews, no?

He should probably sit out 2021 too... ...bring him back when the team is on the cusp of advancing in the playoffs --- but not a moment before --- save the fragile little fella for when it really counts.

You got that right. #32 was apoplectic in the first half...he was done.

Oof. I didn't realize he'd had a long list of legal issues. Not really sure why that hasn't been mentioned by all the people acting like it's absurd he hasn't been offered a head coaching gig yet. Also, Bieniemy looks like a HW Floyd Mayweather. All this has been pretty well known for some time but it doesn't fit the narrative that E.B. is being "done wrong by the man"... Personally I would have been just fine with it if Tepper had given E.B. at turn at the wheel with the Panthers... ...that said, it has also seemed fairly obvious that there's some sort of unknown (to us regular folks who might wear tennis shoes or an occasional python boot) which has prompted every franchise he interviewed with the last few years to take a pass -- and the list is getting long: "In total, Bieniemy has now interviewed with 12 NFL teams over the course of the past three head-coaching interview cycles. It’s hard to imagine with five teams showing interest this season that he’d be unable to secure a job." https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/01/06/kansas-city-chiefs-eric-bieniemy-head-coach-interviews-complete/ The issues listed in the article are pretty much all in the distant past but it the synopsis does create doubts about what else might be out there....

How does the result last night impact his chances?

Sure but nudging the game is as bad as outright rigging it. That’s how they get away with it. Where does the "influence" start? Goodell? Are the owners in on it? The Super Bowl is the largest sports betting event in the United States and "influencing" the outcome would be a federal crime... ...zero chance something like that would stay under wraps. The mere suggestion of it is laughable...

Who do you suggest?

1. He's under contract. 2. He's not a pussy. The NFL is a big-boy league and Teddy is a mature adult who understands ups and downs of the business.

Now that's just not nice...you should apologize.

Definitely not the case. I was just texting with a buddy in Hingham and his exact quote was "haven't heard a single Pat's fan complain about it, they are all pulling for Tom."

Zero TD's for Mahomes and the vaunted Chiefs offense... ...f**k 'em.

Relevance?

Does he have carte blanche to do so? Who does he report to?

Pitiful. Tre Boston is an embarrassment...

Is it? You were such a doubter... ...you now have faith that the Appaloosa Model will deliver results on the field?

As evidence by the outstanding result tonight in Tampa, the model you describe certainly does have merit... ...2 problems: 1. Whiny DW ain't TB12. 2. Texans aren't gonna let him go.

Yea that was Boston...2018. A buddy who is a big Pat's fan commented: "Now Roger has to hand him the trophy. F**k Roger." Thought the pic was apropos...

TB12 laughing his ass off...
