The OP does have a great point, not sure if you know this but Justin Fields is a strict vegan and over the last 16 games, he's thrown for 4200 yards and 27 TD's and has run for 700 yards and 8 additional TD's.  Not sure any meat eaters can do that.

I am not vegan you silly traitor, but we should have drafted this kids instead.

Al Michaels-Taylor Swift conspiracy theory emerges as he loses playoff gig

You can't make this stuff up, congrats to @TuscanyTile2, she did it!

t’s nearly impossible to dodge the social media buzz about Al Michaels and Taylor Swift after The Post’s Andrew Marchand reported Wednesday that he will not be part of NBC’s NFL playoff coverage team.

A baseless conspiracy theory is making waves online and suggests the 79-year-old Michaels lost his playoff gig with NBC due in part to his recent comments about the attention on Swift at NFL games.

The 12-time Grammy winner is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and the couple’s whirlwind romance has become a sports and pop culture phenomenon — with more Swifties tuning in to NFL games and boosting jersey sales.

As noted by Barstool Sports, some viewers claim NBC wasn’t pleased with Michaels when he referred to Swift as a “sideshow” in an October interview with Sports Illustrated, while discussing how much camera time Prime Video would give the singer during the Chiefs-Broncos game on Oct. 12.

“What we’re gonna do tonight, everything in moderation,” Michaels told SI’s Jimmy Traina. “Our crew talked about it this morning. You can’t make a sideshow the show.

“The vast majority of the audience are tuning in to watch a football game. There are people, I don’t know how many, it could be a sizable number, but it’s certainly not a majority, that if you trained the camera on her all night long, they’d be satisfied with that. This is not what we’re doing to do.

I really wish 99% of those real football fans could understand showing a human on screen for 15 seconds at a time isn’t taking away anything from the football game being played, plus Al Michaels is boring now so if u gotta blame Taylor Swift so he’s gone, so be it https://t.co/3JXsVjyrUf

Taylor Swift means zero to the game ... But it's the world we live in ... Michaels was probably indifferent when told he'd be sitting home this year ... The guy knows what we are watching these days is not the game he cut his teeth on ... For the worse he may be looking for a way out before the flags are strapped around the QBs waist.

What is this for again?  I do remember thinking their relationship (Swift/Kelce) was fake and done for promotion purposes.  Is this somehow related to that?

This swift/michaels “ conspiracy theory” is actually totally believable, the way football is going today. How dare Al be so dismissive of their ratings garnerer!!!
