“Legendary” can be an overused word in sportswriting, but it applies when Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are going head-to-head for a spot in the Super Bowl. If the Packers win this weekend, Rodgers will play in his second NFL championship game exactly 10 years and one day after his last (and only) appearance, a 31-25 Green Bay victory over Pittsburgh. If the Buccaneers win, they will be the first team in league history to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. Brady would be competing for his seventh ring, which would put him one championship ahead of Michael Jordan. Imagine if Jordan brought the Washington Wizards to the NBA Finals. That’s what Brady is trying to do this weekend.
NFL Stars Tried To Fight Nick Saban When Alabama Coach Was With Dolphins

With Urban Meyer becoming the next head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, it’s a reminder that some of the greatest college football coaches in history weren’t able to make it in the NFL.
At the top of that list is Alabama coach Nick Saban, whose brief stint on the Miami Dolphins’ sideline reportedly ended after a couple of his own players tried to fight him.
In an appearance on “The Herd,” Fox’s Jay Glazer noted that Saban failed as an NFL coach because he didn’t treat his players like men, which almost led to physical altercations with former Dolphins Daunte Culpepper and Zach Thomas.

There’s long been talk that the 2020-21 NFL season would be New Orleans Saints’ QB Drew Brees’ last season as a player and that he’ll soon head to his apparent next job with NBC, with that talk heating up earlier this month. However, Fox’s Jay Glazer went further than that still Sunday, saying on their pre-game show ahead of the Saints’ game against the Tampa Buccaneers that it would mark Brees’ last game in the Superdome. After the game, though, Brees (seen above post-game) refused to commit to that, and said he hadn’t made any decision on returning or not yet. First, here’s Glazer’s pre-game report:

The New Orleans Saints will reportedly be without running backs Alvin Kamara, Latavius Murray, Michael Burton and Dwayne Washington on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
According to Fox s Jay Glazer, Murray, Burton, Washington and running backs coach Joel Thomas were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after Kamara was placed on the list Friday.
Glazer noted that the Saints will move Ty Montgomery back to running back from wide receiver and call a running back up from the practice squad for Sunday s game.
Kamara is coming off the game of his life, as he rushed for 155 yards and an NFL record-tying six touchdowns in a 52-33 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day.
