Jaguars Fire Mike Mularkey

He's sure to show up as somebody's offensive coordinator next year, but it basically comes down to "new GM wants his own guys." Moral of the story: No matter how badly you want a head coaching job, maybe it is best not to take one from a GM who is clearly on questionable footing under brand new ownership.

B.S. Report Smart Guy Wednesday on NFL Round 2

Hey kids, time for another B.S. Report to talk about the Divisional Round. No Bill Barnwell this time, just me. I tried to talk over/interrupt Bill Simmons less this time. Learn just how hard it is for me to figure out where Denver's weaknesses are, other than Keith Brooking.

The official verdict on RG III's knee: Griffin underwent surgery this morning to repair torn ACL and LCL ligaments in his right knee. Team sources say that they expect him to be ready to play by Week 1 of the 2013 season. But will he be his usual self?

Chris Clemons Out with Torn ACL

Major loss for the Seattle pass rush as the Seahawks try to win the Super Bowl. Chris Clemons tore his ACL on that awful D.C. turf yesterday and is done for the year, and probably part of next year as well. Unless he's secretly Adrian Peterson.

Bills Hire Doug Marrone from Syracuse

I'll buy this one because it comes from "team sources." Doug Marrone will leave Syracuse to become the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills. Marrone previously was offensive coordinator for Sean Payton and the Saints from 2006-2008; working for Payton suggests that Marrone may be open to a more analytical perspective that would match team president Russ Brandon's recent announcement that he plans to form an analytics department in the front office.
