— New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel as their new coach; he played for New England from 2001-08, then went 56-48 as coach of the Tennessee Titans from 2018-23.

— Dallas Cowboys blocked the Bears from interviewing coach Mike McCarthy, but starting this week, they can’t block any more interviews with McCarthy, so he may still be interested in Chicago.

— Famous birthdays, January 13:
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 64
Kevin Mitchell, 63
Patrick Dempsey, 59
Curtis Conway, 54
James Posey, 49
Ronny Turiaf, 42

— When Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes was in high school, he threw a no-hitter, striking out 16 guys; the losing pitcher in that game?
Michael Kopech, who has been a big league pitcher since 2018.

— Toronto Blue Jays signed reliever Jeff Hoffman to a 3-year, $33M deal; he had a 2.17 ERA and 10 saves in 68 games for the Phillies LY.
Hoffman has been in the majors for nine years; he is from the same town where I live, albeit the other side of town— he went to Shaker HS, the same school NBA star Sam Perkins went to.

— Atlanta Braves signed IF/1B Garrett Cooper to a minor league deal; he is 34 years old, had a rough year in 2024, hitting .206 for the Cubs/Red Sox- he’s been in the majors for eight years.

— Georgia Bulldogs’ QB Carson Beck is now Miami Hurricanes’ QB Carson Beck; after going 24-3 as a starter for Georgia, Beck is recovering from a season-ending elbow injury that caused him to drop out of this spring’s NFL Draft.
Beck is apparently getting paid $4M to play for Miami next year. Wow.

— Cleveland Browns’ QB Deshaun Watson tore his achilles tendon again, had another operation on Thursday.
Watson has played in only 19 games for Cleveland the last three years, going 9-10 in those games, despite having a guaranteed contract worth $46M a year.

— Atlanta Falcons fired DC Jimmy Lake after only one season; Falcons started the season 6-3, but lost six of their last eight games, giving up 30-44 points in their last two games.

— San Francisco 49ers fired defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen after only one season; 49ers went 6-11, lost seven of their last eight games, giving up 40-47 points in their last two games.

— RIP former Colorado football coach Bill McCartney, who turned the Buffs’ program around in the late 80’s, going 73-19-4 from 1987-94, after going 20-36 his first five years in Boulder.
Back then, Oklahoma/Nebraska dominated the Big 8 Conference, but McCartney the Colorado to a national title in 1990, with Eric Bienemy his best running back.
McCartney’s coaching tree included Les Miles, Rick Neuheisel, Gary Barnett, Jon Embree and Karl Dorrell.
RIP, sir.
