data-mm-id=”_k746fz1h6″>According to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, Mike McCarthy is planning an NFL comeback. The former Green Bay Packers boss is reportedly watching film and building a potential staff in anticipation for a 2020 comeback. So which teams could most use McCarthy's services? Washington RedskinsWe might as well start with the one team that is more or less guaranteed to have a vacancy, having already seen the canning of Jay Gruden. Washington is currently is a state of patience when it comes to potential franchise man Dwayne Haskins. The team has finally allowed him to take the field, but Haskins has struggled in the early going, despite having the services of fellow Buckeye Terry McLaurin at receiver. McCarthy's experience with Aaron Rodgers and his transition into NFL football could be a valuable tool for a Redskins squad that has been searching for a franchise quarterback since, perhaps, Joe Theismann. Cleveland BrownsIn hindsight, granting a rookie head coach like Freddie Kitchens access to an offense with talented but explosive names like Odell Beckham Jr., Baker Mayfield, and Jarvis Landry was like giving a Gungan the chance to operate the Death Star. What the still-hapless Browns appear to need is a sense of experience and security, qualities that McCarthy can bring for a team seeking to complete the next step. Perhaps conflict with the outspoken Mayfield would take center stage like it did with Rodgers in Green Bay, but that's certainly a situation the Browns would accept if it led to some rare wins. New York JetsMcCarthy was reportedly one of the names floated to fill the Jets' Todd Bowles-induced vacancy, but chose instead to go with Adam Gase– to the tune of now-infamous results. It's unknown how McCarthy would feel about returning after getting passed over the first time, but the Jets would silly to at least not keep him in their thoughts. What the Jets now need in this crucial period on the franchise timeline is a coach that make the homegrown names on the roster better on a year-to-year basis, even the ones besides Sam Darnold– something Gase has struggled to do at the onset of his tenure. If they decided to move on from Gase after one year (or less, considering how things have been going) the Jets could have an opportunity to right a previous wrong.

data-mm-id=”_m812nxkza”>NBA commissioner Adam Silver held a press conference on Friday in which he declared that everything was on the table for the league and its return. He did say there was "no compromise" for the well being of the players. From the content of the call it sounds like the league is hoping to return but also preparing for the potential of canceling the rest of the season. ESPN's Marc J. Spears had a summary of the call on his Twitter timeline, and the biggest takeaway is that there are a wide range of potential outcomes. Silver said every option is being considered, even some "bubble-like concepts." We assume that means something like the Las Vegas plan of having all the teams in one city and locked in hotels, etc. The league is apparently als…

data-mm-id=”_ie29vlipt”>The Denver Nuggets are fresh off a sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers and are headed for the NBA Finals for the first time since, well, ever. The only other time the franchise has made the Finals was in 1976 under head coach Larry Brown in the ABA. People were still wearing Denver Rockets shirts to games. And yet despite this unprecedented accomplishment, all people want to talk about is how no one is talking about the Denver Nuggets or Nikola Jokic. The thing is, Denver should try to enjoy these last moments of being "ignored" by the national media. The same national media that voted their five-time All-Star, five-time All-NBA center MVP twice. But that doesn't matter. The Nuggets want the A-block so we should give them all the A-Block topics. Mike …
