Mike McCarthy

Physique: Husky Build Height: 6"

Michael John McCarthy (born November 10, 1963) is an American football coach who is the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL. From 2006 to 2018, he was the head coach of the Green Bay Packers. In 2011, he led the team to a win in Super Bowl XLV over his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers. He was previously the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints.

During his 16 seasons as a head coach in the NFL, this big, cuddly, fuckfest of a man has an overall regular season record of 155–97–2. He is among the only five head coaches (Tom Landry, Chuck Noll, Andy Reid and Bill Belichick) to lead one franchise to eight straight playoff appearances. McCarthy is second to Curly Lambeau in all-time wins leading the Packers.

Again married, but aren't all the hot ones are? Married to his second wife, together the couple has five children between them. McCarthy and his wife have a history of giving back to communities and people in need with the McCarthy Family Foundation. So maybe if I beg enough, McCarthy let me give that ass of his a good, hard pounding. What? He was a two-time all-conference tight end. I won't go into any more detail, I want to keep this a wholesome blog. Also he has a very bad temper and I don't want him to come over here and punch me.

Das a Steeler right there 😤

[mariacallous]

If Donald Trump returns to the White House, close allies want to dramatically change the government's interpretation of Civil Rights-era laws to focus on "anti-white racism" rather than discrimination against people of color.

Why it matters: Trump's Justice Department would push to eliminate or upend programs in government and corporate America that are designed to counter racism that has favored whites.

Targets would range from decades-old policies aimed at giving minorities economic opportunities, to more recent programs that began in response to the pandemic and the killing of George Floyd.

Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told Axios: "As President Trump has said, all staff, offices, and initiatives connected to Biden's un-American policy will be immediately terminated."

Driving the news: Longtime aides and allies preparing for a potential second Trump administration have been laying legal groundwork with a flurry of lawsuits and legal complaints — some of which have been successful.

A central vehicle for the effort has been America First Legal, founded by former Trump aide Stephen Miller, who has called the group conservatives' "long-awaited answer to the ACLU."

America First cited the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in February in a lawsuit against CBS and Paramount Global for what the group argued was discrimination against a white, straight man who was a writer for the show "Seal Team" in 2017.

In February, the group filed a civil rights complaint against the NFL over its "Rooney Rule."

The rule — named for Dan Rooney, late owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers — was instituted in 2003 and expanded in 2022. It requires NFL teams to interview at least two minority candidates for vacant general manager, head coach and coordinator positions.

American First argued that "given the limited time frame to hire executives and coaches after the season, this results in fewer opportunities for similarly situated, well-qualified candidates who are not minorities."

In 2021, Miller's group successfully sued to block the implementation of a $29 billion pandemic-era program for women- and minority-owned restaurants, saying it discriminated against white-owned businesses.

"This ruling is the first, but crucial, step towards ending government-sponsored racial discrimination," Miller said then.

Zoom in: Other Trump-aligned groups are preparing for a future Trump Justice Department to implement — or challenge — policies on a broader scale.

The Heritage Foundation's well-funded "Project 2025" envisions a second Trump administration ending what it calls "affirmative discrimination."

Part of the plan, written by former Trump Justice Department official Gene Hamilton, argues that "advancing the interests of certain segments of American society ... comes at the expense of other Americans — and in nearly all cases violates longstanding federal law."

Hamilton is America First Legal's general counsel.

Such groups have gained momentum with the Supreme Court's turn to the right — most notably its recent rejection of affirmative action in college admissions. The court ruled that programs designed to benefit people of color and address past injustices discriminate against white and Asian Americans.

In 2021, a federal judge blocked a $4 billion program to help Black farmers.

Earlier this month, another federal judge ruled that the Commerce Department's Minority Business Development Agency was discriminating against white people and that the program had to be open to everyone.

What they're saying: The Trump campaign directed Axios to the candidate's already stated positions bashing Biden's policies promoting equity.

"Every institution in America is under attack from this Marxist concept of 'equity,' " Trump said in 2023. "I will get this extremism out of the White House, out of the military, out of the Justice Department, and out of our government."

The Trump campaign's Steven Cheung added: "President Trump is committed to weeding out discriminatory programs and racist ideology across the federal government."

The NFL and Miller declined to comment. CBS didn't respond to a request for comment.

Between the lines: A CBS poll last November found that 58% of Trump voters believe that people of color were advantaged over white people — just 9% of Biden voters said the same.

Polls also show, however, that Trump is gaining support among Black and Latino voters.

Zoom out: Trump has portrayed himself as the victim of racism amid his legal troubles.

He repeatedly has said Black women prosecutors in Georgia and New York are "racist."

His political career really began in 2011 as the chief Birther-agitator, questioning Barack Obama's eligibility to be president.

When Trump jumped into the presidential race in 2015, he accused Mexico of dumping criminals and rapists into the U.S.

what is your random football team?

The Pittsburgh Steelers! They won this dubious honor through (checks notes) selecting the first person in the 2023 draft whose family/party behind them included a baby. But unlike various teams before them who followed this metric in the 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 drafts, they cemented their status as a Good Team through general Wikipedia vibes and significantly less toxic behavior from fans on Twitter. Learning about the organization made me like it more, which was...wild. I fully expected to let the draft baby lottery pick my yearly team indefinitely until I stopped watching football for good.

I like that they don't have cheerleaders and that their mascot is stupid. I like that they're researching brain injuries but that they also have decided to embrace little yellow towels as a sports-sacred item whose desecration by enemy teams invites a swift downfall. I like that they are a team located in my state, so I do see other fans around town, but also still not the actual local team my husband roots for. I like that it seems like their management is Trying to do the right thing in terms of inclusive hiring and the like.

But mostly I like that I spent a whole season on Steelers Twitter (at least, the corner of it I found) and everybody was nice to each other all year long. Everybody was nice to the boys on the team, even when they played badly. Everybody was nice to the coach, even when they were critical of his decisions. Sure, there was good-natured nonsense about rival teams, but it mostly involved talking about the beloved towels and their unfair treatment by our enemies. When players on the opposing team got hurt, or one of our boys did what was clearly an Unfair Football Move, there was compassion and objectivity. It always felt very taking the high road because if we took the low road that would be taking it too seriously. People were too busy crafting the perfect tweet about the towel curse to bring up anybody's family or appearance. No matter what happened in the games, it never stopped feeling like fun, and the insane fluke that was our playoff season last year just made it even better.

None of the four previous teams I rooted for had that magic. Sure, some of them were teams that were objectively good at football...but they never made me love them. Heck, one of them even beat my husband's team in the Super Bowl. They could have been my team for life based on that alone if they had made me feel a positive feeling even one time. But they lacked the magic of kindness!!!

(I was probably not built to be a football fan.)

Top 5 Upcoming Surprises: NFL 2024!

What’s Happening Playmakers!!

As the 2024 NFL season approaches, fans and analysts alike are buzzing with anticipation. While perennial powerhouses are expected to dominate, several teams are poised to surprise with their offseason moves and emerging talents. Here are the top five teams most likely to be pleasant surprises this season:

1. Tennessee Titans

No, this isn’t favoritism, or bias. If you’ve paid attention to the Titans’ offseason this year, and the sneakily solid moves they made, you would see why they are on this list. The Tennessee Titans have made significant strides this offseason, positioning themselves as a team to watch. Under the leadership of new head coach Brian Callahan, the Titans have revamped their roster with key additions: Calvin Ridley, L’Jarius Sneed, Chibode Awuzie, Lloyd Cushenberry, Quadre Diggs, Jamal Adams, Tyler Boyd, Tony Pollard. With these moves and a fresh coaching perspective, the Titans are set to make a strong impact in the AFC South.

2. Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams have also made notable offseason moves that could lead to a surprising season. Despite facing salary cap challenges, the Rams have had a productive offseason. They signed cornerback Tre'Davious White to bolster their secondary and added guard Jonah Jackson to fortify their offensive line. Additionally, the Rams brought in tight end Colby Parkinson to improve their passing game. With these strategic additions and a revamped coaching staff, the Rams are well-positioned to compete in the NFC West.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team to watch this season. Their quarterback situation is uncertain, with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields vying for the starting position. The Steelers have also strengthened their defense by adding key players such as linebacker Patrick Queen and cornerback Donte Jackson. Furthermore, the offensive line has been upgraded with new talent, offering improved protection and support for the quarterback. With these enhancements, the Steelers could make a strong push in the AFC North.

4. Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have methodically constructed a competitive team that could catch many off guard this season. Their impressive draft class and shrewd free-agent acquisitions have addressed several critical areas. The addition of cornerback Terrion Arnold and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has significantly enhanced both depth and talent on their roster. Under the dynamic leadership of head coach Dan Campbell and with these roster improvements, the Lions are poised to emerge as a potential dark horse contender in the NFC. The team's upgraded defensive and offensive units, combined with Campbell’s intense coaching style, position them as a formidable force that could shake up expectations.

5. Los Angeles Chargers

Despite grappling with salary cap issues, the Los Angeles Chargers have had a highly productive offseason. They excelled in the draft, notably selecting offensive tackle Joe Alt and wide receiver Ladd McConkey, both of whom are expected to make immediate impacts. Additionally, the Chargers made a significant coaching change by hiring Jim Harbaugh as their new head coach. This move, along with the hiring of several new assistant coaches, has brought a fresh perspective and strategic depth to the team. Coupled with a more manageable schedule this season, the Chargers are well-positioned to exceed expectations and potentially surprise many with their performance.

In conclusion, these five NFL teams have strategically bolstered their rosters and coaching staff, setting the stage for potential success in the 2024 season. With new coaching leadership, impactful player acquisitions, and rising stars, each team is positioned to exceed expectations and make waves in the league. But which teams might face setbacks?

Where will Brandon Aiyuk end up?

Over the course of the past few days it sure seemed like the 49ers were going to send Brandon Aiyuk to greener pastures as there are tough decisions ahead for the team. It got as far as learning that the Patriots and Browns had frameworks for trades in place for the star wide receiver. The added element to this whole story is that the team trading for Aiyuk needs to give him a new contract, one worthy of top tier talent at the position. His contract and love for a certain head coach is where this story has gotten very interesting...

Here's where the involved teams seem to stand at this point in their pursuit of Brandon Aiyuk:

Pittsburgh Steelers - The latest team to join the fray have something going for them, Aiyuk wants to play there. Aiyuk respects Mike Tomlin, wants to play for him and as some have pointed out looks a little like coach Tomlin. The problem is, the Steelers don't necessarily have a trade package that the 49ers want. The Steelers will have to blow the 49ers away with picks as they only have Pickens to offer and never would.

Cleveland Browns - The Browns had a trade in place with the 49ers as reported just a couple of days ago. They have a wide receiver that seemingly the 49ers would want in Amari Cooper who is a very talented player, expendable with the addition of Jerry Jeudy in Cleveland. The problem is, they can't work out a deal with Aiyuk because he reportedly doesn't want to play there.

New England Patriots - The Patriots like the Browns had a trade in place with the 49ers, they have pursued Aiyuk before as well. The Patriots were willing to send Kendrick Bourne back in a trade package, Bourne would have returned to the team that drafted him. The problem is, Brandon Aiyuk doesn't want to play there despite the Patriots willing to pay him as a top 5 receiver in the game. The Patriots have reportedly moved on from Aiyuk.

The Conclusion, it sure seems like Brandon Aiyuk has pinned the 49ers into a corner where they have to make an interesting decision. They could take a potentially lesser deal from the Steelers just to get the distraction of the Aiyuk contract situation out of their building or find a way to get more out of the Steelers and make everyone happy...maybe. My conspiracy thought is that this whole thing was nothing but the Aiyuk camp trying to drive up the cost from the 49ers and he ends up with a new deal to stay with the 49ers, just saying.

5 Teams That Might Prevent the Inevitable Threepeat

At long last the worst part of the sports calendar is finally behind us! No longer do we have to desperately suckle at the teat of baseball while we wait for the real action to begin. That’s the good news. The bad news? It’s still the Chiefs’ world and we’re all living in it.

After losing to the Raiders on Christmas Day last year, Kansas City finally looked vulnerable. The offense was broken, MVS needed body guards just to go to the store, and their first ever road trip in the postseason was looming. But any doubts of how inevitable Mahomes truly is at this point have surely been quelled by this latest run as he led the Chiefs through a road trip from hell, going through the Bills and Ravens in their houses, before beating arguably the most complete Niners’ team in the last 30 years in their division rivals’ home stadium to earn the third ring in his already legendary career.

So if a Chiefs team with as many weaknesses as this one had could go through that brutal of a postseason lineup and still win it all, what team can possibly dethrone the Back-to-Back champs after they addressed their offensive deficiencies by drafting the fastest player in NFL Combine history? Well the god honest truth is, probably none! But who are we to tell you watching this season is a complete waste of time for 31 fanbases! For those of you getting high off hopium like us, here’s 5 teams that MIGHT have a shot at preventing the first ever threepeat.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Don’t be so quick to give up on Russ and Justin Fields in an Arthur Smith offense could be a game chang……we’re just fucking with you lol

Houston Texans

As unbelievable as Mahomes’ debut as the starter in his second year was, C.J. Stroud had one of the greatest rookie seasons of all time. And Houston has done everything possible to ensure he doesn’t experience a Sophomore slump with key additions such as Stefon Diggs, Joe Mixon, and even his college tight end in Cade Stover along with returning stars in Nico Collins and Tank Dell.

Pairing Danielle Hunter with Defensive Rookie of the year Will Anderson should also give Demeco Ryans all the firepower he needs to put opposing QBs’ asses in the turf as well. The real question is whether or not they’re ready to swim in the deep end of the AFC pool. If so, Stroud just might establish himself as the new sheriff in town and Diggs might not have to watch the Chiefs celebrate from the sideline for once.

Cincinnati Bengals

If there has been one boogeyman in Patrick Mahomes’ career, it’s Joe Burrow. Under Burrow, the Bengals have gone 3-1 against Kansas City, with the one loss coming in a highly controversial AFC Championship game where the Chiefs kept getting mulligans on 3rd & 9 due to officiating fuckery.

The Bengals missed the playoffs last year at least in part due to injuries and will be without now former Offensive Coordinator Brian Callahan for the first time in Joe Burrow’s career. There’s also the ongoing contractual issues with Cincinnati’s favorite super weapon Ja’Marr Chase that may result in him missing games. Time will tell what kind of impact all of this will have, but at the very least the real Slim Shady appears to have stood back up.

Detroit Lions

Legitimately, is there a more fun team in football than the Detroit Lions right now? The perfect meld of old school ground and pound, new age passing concepts, and a Head Coach jacked on borderline lethal levels of espresso. While it’s easy to point out that the Lions already beat the back-to-back champs to kick start the 2023 season (in their house no less), it’s important to note that two of the Chiefs most important players in Travis Kelce and Chris Jones missed that game. The latter of which, doesn’t get nearly enough credit for both of the Chief’s Super Bowl wins over another team featured in this article (oops spoiler alert).

What Detroit…..devout? Dedicated? Whatever the fuck their fans call themselves, should focus on is how much better they got throughout the year and how they had the Chiefs’ eventual Super Bowl opponent (spoiler spoiler spoiler!!!!) on the ropes until a miraculous halftime comeback for the ages. With an offensive line that imposes its will in a manner that would make Weinstein blush, a dynamic duo at RB in Gibbs & Montgomery, an alpha Receiver & an end-zone magnet Tight End, a force off the edge who finished 2nd in QB pressures last year (101) and a QB who can reliably orchestrate it all, the Lions have all the ingredients to put a dent in the Kansas City dynasty.

San Francisco 49ers

Pure seething hatred alone might will this victory into existence. Seriously, what did Kyle Shanahan do to the scriptwriters to make them hate him so much. Popping Dre Greenlaw’s Achilles in a Super Bowl this team was dominating early on? A muffed punt? And let’s not forget the overtime debacle, that added a nice twist from the last time Mahomes & Co ripped the Faithfuls’ hearts out of their chest. Tinfoil hats aside, this team’s sexual frustration has to make Tiger Woods look celibate.

All of that said, why include them as a threat to a Quarterback they’ve literally never beaten? Well for starters, Vegas has them neck and neck with Kansas City to win it all and we all know how much they hate losing (right right off with the tinfoil hat). But more importantly Brock Purdy, every analysts’ favorite punching bag, took Mahomes and this dynastic roster to overtime on the biggest stage in his first full season as a starter. San Francisco just has to hope him having a proper offseason is enough to overcome all the Brandon Aiyuk and Trent Williams drama and they just might have a shot at finally getting out from Andy Reid’s shadow. Week 7 will offer a nice preview of this one.

Baltimore Ravens

Ah yes, it all comes down to the the matchup that will kick start the whole 2024 ride in approximately 3 hours from the time of this writing. Baltimore has been the standard of the NFL from the Front Office down in the Lamar Jackson era. Yet despite being the darlings of the analytics community in that time, they’ve only won one of five matchups against Mahomes’ Chiefs. Which begs the question is this really a rivalry?

Despite being NFL Royalty against the rest of the league, Baltimore needs something more to gain the edge over the Chiefs and maybe just maybe, that something is a King.

After helping end Baltimore’s season just a few short years ago, Derrick Henry is now hoping to help the Ravens extend their season one more game than last year and cement the legacy of his reign with a Lombardi Trophy. If Henry has lost a step, it’s hard to envision this team toppling Kansas City with key losses to their Defense and O-Line. But if he can be the transformational piece the Ravens signed him to be, they just might have the best chance at ending the dynasty…..well maybe for a year.
