Bad week for company men: Dallas Mavs fired Nico Harrison, NY Giants fired Brian Daboll, LSU claims they didn’t fire Brian Kelly, the Dolphins might fire Mike McDaniel

Madeline and Charlotte are back, and it’s been a bad week for company men! First, an update on this week’s NFL vibes-based picks because they did very well, although the Sunday and Monday night football games were very boring. At least there were some electric NBA games! Now, onto the firings: The gals begin with Nico Harrison, general manager of the Dallas Mavericks. Fans have been chanting “fire Nico” since he traded away the team’s star Luka Doncic last year, and ownership finally listened. In a wild turn of events, LSU is claiming they didn’t fire former head coach Brian Kelly, even though there’s a lot of evidence to suggest they did (because they did). The second guy who got fired this week is Brian Daboll, head coach of the Giants. This discussion also involves a debate about nepo babies and a story about Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, and a corgi. In NFL firing news, Commanders coach Dan Quinn sort of (but not really) fired his defensive coordinator Joe Whitt. Mike McDaniel drove by a Bills bar called Elbo Room in Ft. Lauderdale after the Dolphins beat the Bills to heckle Bills fans, even though the Dolphins are still bad. And, in a new segment called “It Goes All The Way To The Top,” Scarlet Johansson is doing NBC promo for the winter Olympics.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
