The media, especially the Boston media, is having a field day because Tom Brady is going to another Super Bowl and Bill Belichick is not. I say, enough already. As I point out in the podcast, leave Bill Belichick alone. Get on the email list at sportscasterdan.substack.com

Tom Brady has made a point. The Tampa Bay quarterback is now in another conference championship game, this time taking his Bucs to Green Bay to play the Packers for the NFC title on Sunday.

There is no defense for how Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson coached his team’s 2020 finale against the Washington Football Team Sunday night. In primetime, Pederson provided the optics that should disgust the league the way it disgusted those who follow and respect the game. In this episode of The Sportscaster Dan podcast, I opine how the NFL should handle the embarrassing display that was in full view on national television.

The PGA Tour is prepared to play with or without spectators in 2021, according to Commissioner Jay Monahan. In a year end conference, Monahan stated the Tour could break even without spectators, while acknowledging some spectators could be allowed, when the tour resumes in January.What about baseball?

The NFL is not about to cancel its season, despite the latest developments, involving the New England Patriots and the Tennessee Titans.As I put this podcast together on Oct. 11, the Pats were forced to cancel their practice because of another Covid-19 positive case.

Meanwhile, Tennessee, which had its game against Pittsburgh postponed last week because of Covid-19, had another positive test case, placing its latest game in doubt.But as I explain in this podcast, the NFL’s 2020 season is not about to be given the boot.

Sunday’s Steelers-Titans Week 4 NFL matchup has been postponed because of the spread of COVID-19. There is a chance the game will be rescheduled for next Monday or Tuesday.
