    And now ESPN breaks in -- 20 minutes late.


    Lots of college gigs open, too.

    You don't have the podium anymore, Brian.

    Asswipe.

    Happy effing New Year, Brian Billick!

    He should have been canned three years ago. Heck, maybe even a few weeks ago after his team staged the ultimate meltdown against New England.

    The only reason Billick is an "offensive genius" is because of Randy Moss.

    Well, Tuna started cleaning house today. Mueller is out.

    Cam Cameron's got to be getting nervous.

    No nervousness.

    He's gone.

    Billick's fate was sealed by the loss to the Dolphins. (Sorry, Simon.)

    He wins that game, and avoids the infamy of losing to what may go down as one of the worst, most pathetic teams in NFL history, and he still has his job.

    It's HOW he played that fourth-and-goal from 6 inches away.

    I swear it was like he had the Dolphins +3 1/2.

    The only surprise for me was how quickly they fired him.

    Glazer had this first, hours before ESPN had anything...

    He'll be the next one out. Cam didn't help his cause when the Dolphins were easily defeated by a shitty team at home yesterday with Parcells at the stadium.

    Almost like he was coaching this season to get fired.

    Notice that once Bisciotti said Billick was coming back, the season sped downhill.

    (Edit: I know they'd lost seven consecutive games at that point, but the Miami loss really made things spiral toward Hades.)

    Good luck finding another job.

    He made a half-dozen game-management moves that would have gotten a Pee-Wee coach fired.
