The Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals continue to practice for this Sunday’s Super Bowl in Los Angeles. This will be the Rams’ fifth Super Bowl appearance, and they are hoping to claim their second title in franchise history. The Bengals are one of the 12 NFL franchises that have never won a Super Bowl and the last time they came this far was in 1988. The Rams are favored by 4 ½ points. It promises to be a hot one. A wintertime heat advisory was issued in California for the first time in 16 years ahead of what could be a record high temperature of close to 90 degrees when Super Bowl 56 kicks off at SoFi Stadium.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that the league plans to reevaluate everything it is doing as it pertains to diversity and the hiring of minority head coaches, including re-examining the Rooney Rule. Goodell’s comments on Wednesday were his first public remarks since former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court on Feb. 1 against the NFL and three of its teams alleging a pattern of racist hiring practices and other forms of racial discrimination.
The NFL issued a statement the day the lawsuit was filed saying Flores’ allegations were “without merit.” This past Saturday, Goodell issued a memo to all 32 teams in which he said that the results of the league’s efforts to promote diversity within its head coaches have been “unacceptable” and that “we understand the concerns expressed by coach Flores and others this week.”
Flores’ lawsuit also alleged that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered him $100,000 per loss during the 2019 season in an effort to obtain the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Ross issued a statement last week in which he said he takes “great personal exception to these malicious attacks” and said “we will cooperate fully” with the NFL’s expected investigation.
Goodell told reporters he found all of the allegations in Flores’ suit to be “very disturbing.”
The NFL just saw a hiring process conclude that included nine teams in search of a new head coach. Of the nine openings, two went to minority candidates: Mike McDaniel (Dolphins) and Lovie Smith (Texans). McDaniel, who is multi-racial, and Smith join Ron Rivera, Robert Saleh and Mike Tomlin as the league’s only minority coaches.
What a night for Team USA at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Figure skater Nathan Chen built on a near flawless world-record-setting short program performance (113.97 points) to earn his first Olympic gold medal in the men’s free skate.
Chen’s win came on the heels of snowboarder Chloe Kim’s historic showing. Kim grabbed gold with an outstanding first run in the women’s halfpipe finals. With Kim’s victory, she became the first woman in Olympic history to win back-to-back gold medals in the event.
Norway and Austria are tied for the lead in total medals with 12, the Russia Olympic Committee is next with 11, Canada with 10 and the U.S. has nine. That includes three gold, five silver and one bronze.
