 Jason Garrett's 2nd go-round with the Giants is over.

Garrett, who for a brief period was Kerry Collins' backup at quarterback 20 years ago, was let go as offensive coordinator Tuesday after the Giants' offense disappeared in a 30-10 loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who snapped a two game losing streak. Head coach Joe Judge is likely a goner after the season ends.

Much has been made about LeBron James getting suspended for a fight with Detroit's Isaiah Stewart the other day. James sat out the Lakers' loss to the Knicks Tuesday night, and will play in their next game. Stewart got 2 games to James' 1, because the league ruled Stewart exacerbated the situation.

Tuesday, on First Take, America's Idiot Savant, Stephen A. Smith, tried to compare this to Michael Jordan back in the day. However, what Smith forgets---largely because the idiot doesn't bother with researching facts anymore---is that Jordan did have an on-court altercation with Indiana's Reggie Miller, now a shill for Wendy's, back in 1993. The officials in that game ejected Miller, but let Jordan, the league's #1 star at the time (as Miller acknowledged in a recent interview), stay in the game. Double standard much?

Actually, Miller was in his 4th season in the league at the time, and Jordan had been well established for over a decade.

For most of his 9 years on the main roster with WWE, Seth Rollins (Colby Lopez) has played the role of a delusional heel who thinks he's doing the right thing, but in truth is going about it the wrong way.

On Monday night, Rollins was ambushed by a fan after shooting an angle with rival Finn Balor. Media sources mistakenly thought the scheduled match actually happened, but it didn't.

On his way back up the ramp, Rollins was attacked by Elisah Spencer, 24, of Brooklyn, who was arrested, and charged with assault.

The next day, it comes out that Spencer was himself the victim of a scam.

It's being reported that Spencer was catfished by some jabroni pretending to be Rollins, and doing a good enough job at that to fool Spencer, dating all the way back to 2019. Even though it was obvious that it wasn't Rollins at all, Spencer, friends say, planned the attack, which is not the first time that Rollins has had an unpleasant encounter with a fan.

It's not the first time that the phony Rollins account has bamboozled someone, either. Video surfaced of a radio interview Rollins gave, also in 2019, of a woman who was similarly catfished, in this case thinking Rollins was in love with her. Rollins married Becky Lynch (Rebecca Quin-Lopez) earlier this year.

When you stop and think about it, maybe this is the reason why WWE wants to limit or control the social media output of their talent, to prevent situations like this.

Good to see that Dick Vitale was back at the mic for ESPN Tuesday for a UCLA college basketball game. Vitale has been battling cancer, and has recovered from the embarrassment of doing a GEICO ad earlier this year.
