Behind the Line

The past few months...Jackson Mahomes has been in the face of NFL fans on social media. Jackson Mahomes along with Brittany Matthews have agitated NFL fans to the point...where fans and the NFL media have turned against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

However...after Patrick Mahomes lost to Joe Burrow and the Bengals...Jackson Mahomes has been noticeably quiet on social media. We discuss the silence of Jackson Mahomes and Brittany Matthews...and explain how Patrick Mahomes is the only athlete that's had their own family turn America against them.

Over the weekend...the University of Nebraska decided to make some changes to their mascot. Apparently...the mascot of the Nebraska Cornhuskers was behaving inappropriately. So the University of Nebraska felt it was necessary to change his behavior.

We reveal and react to the changes being made to the mascot at the University of Nebraska. We also spotlight some positivity in the NFL this weekend. We react to a clip from Kansas City...where fans of the Chiefs rescued Ashanti during the national anthem.

Over the weekend...Kwame Brown unleashed on Dwyane Wade over his child's tribute to Kobe Bryant. Kwame Brown questioned Dwyane Wade's role in his marriage...claiming he is allowing Gabrielle Union to assume the leadership role in their household.

We play and react to the commentary of Kwame Brown. We compare the lack of reaction to the Dwyane Wade tribute to Kobe Bryant...to the reaction of Stephen A Smith tribute earlier this week. People were upset Stephen A Smith called out modern NBA players during his tribute to Kobe Bryant.

We explain how Dwyane Wade has changed throughout his marriage to Gabrielle Union. We discuss Dwyane Wade prior to Gabrielle Union...and how over the years Gabrielle Union has changed Dwyane Wade's mentality.

Joe Rogan has become a popular adversary to the mainstream media. Personalities like Joy Reid at MSNBC have went after Joe Rogan...and Neil Young forced Spotify to remove all his music from the platform.

We explain the importance of Spotify backing Joe Rogan...and how the removal of his podcast would affect the average American. We discuss the media trying to remove free speech...and pressure Spotify to keep Joe Rogan in check.

Mina Kimes went after Jimmy Garoppolo earlier this week...claiming he is holding back the Niners. As usual...Mina Kimes bases her NFL analysis solely off statistics. The analysis of Mina Kimes irked Jeff Garcia...who sent a scathing message on Instagram criticizing her analysis.

The response of Jeff Garcia sent the mainstream media and Twitter into a frenzy...with most lashing out at him for going after Mina Kimes because she's a woman. We explain why Mina Kimes...Jeff Garcia...and the mainstream media are wrong in this situation.

Stephen A Smith is usually one of the favorite ESPN personalities on Twitter. However...for the second time in less than a year...Stephen A Smith is figuring out there is no loyalty with SJW's.

Twitter is upset with Stephen A Smith...for criticizing the modern NBA during his tribute to Kobe Bryant. We defend Stephen A Smith for speaking truth about the state of the modern NBA.

We also criticize him for blasting the Denver Broncos for hiring Nathaniel Hackett. Stephen A Smith claimed Eric Bienamy should've been hired by the Broncos instead. We react to a clip of Stephen A Smith making his point...and disprove his notion.

Sean Beckwith at Deadspin once again proved...why the media outlet has zero credibility. Last week...Sean Beckwith posted an article on Deadspin about San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.

In the article...Sean Beckwith claims Mike McDaniel is only being considered for NFL head coaching positions because he's white. Problem is...Mike McDaniel isn't white. We blast Sean Beckwith and Deadspin for the error.

We explain how this is another example...of the lack of journalistic integrity in the mainstream media.

Curt Schilling was denied entry into the Major League Baseball Hall-of-Fame for the tenth and final time this week. Both Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens joined him. We explain why Curt Schilling was denied over political reasons...and both Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were denied due to their testy relationship with the media.

We also agree with Bomani Jones take on Curt Schilling. We play and react to a clip of Bomani Jones...and agree with his stance. We explain how this proves sports can bring people with differing beliefs together.

Mark Jones has worked at ESPN for over 30 years. Over the past several years...Mark Jones has become more vocal in his support of certain political and social issues. All of these issues...prove the blatant hypocrisy at ESPN.

We provide a timeline of controversial likes and retweets endorsed by Mark Jones. The celebration of injuries to Colby Covington and Nick Bosa. Endorsing a controversial tweet from a Canadian pastor bashing Rush Limbaugh. The flurry of tweets liked by Mark Jones over the weekend regarding Aaron Rodgers.

We provide the reason Mark Jones is continuously given a pass by executives at ESPN.

The Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs was an unmitigated success for the league and its television partners. All four Divisional Round games set five-year highs for the NFL. We reveal the NFL ratings from this past weekend.

We compare media coverage between NFL ratings and the NBA. Martin Luther King Day is typically one of the biggest days of the NBA regular season. However...the NBA flopped this year on MLK Day. We reveal the NBA ratings...and blast the media for refusing to cover the decline of the league.
