**********Why did the CBS TV cameras keep showing Bengals’ LB #58 Joseph Ossai after he was called for the late hit out-of-bounds on Patrick Mahomes??? Joseph Ossai assessed with a 15-yard penalty for the late hit, and at the end-of-the-game, CBS just kept showing Ossai over on the Bengals bench with his helmet pulled down over his head and Ossai was definitely crying and was really distraught, and the CBS camera would just not give this young man a break, and leave him alone…You would think he had just robbed a bank, or committed a murder…CBS was very rude in the way they just showing this young man on TV, after he had made a mistake…Everybody knew he made a terrible mistake, but CBS didn’t have to keep on torturing Joseph Ossai, by continuing to show his face on camera…Again, give the young man a break, he made a mistake, and just leave him alone…The young man was for sure suffering, and the CBS cameras were adding to his misery…Agree or disagree, would love to hear what other might be thinking or saying on this one…**********

++++++++++And another thing…In reality, the Carolina Panthers should have hired Steve Wilks to be their new head coach…The Panthers went with Frank Reich instead, and he is not a bad choice, but it would have been better, in my opinion to have selected Steve Wilks…
If the Panthers picked Wilks, I feel like Reich would have still been available later on down the road…So, if you brought in Wilks, and say in three years he did not pan out, then you could have gone after Reich, and then made Reich your man…I don’t think Reich was going anywhere else but Carolina, and that Reich would have still been around and available three years from now, if Wilks did not pan out….
I don’t see as where there has been any real demand for Frank Reich to be the head coach of other NFL teams…Wilks would have done a good job for the Panthers, because he had always done a good job in the past for the Panthers…But, now that the Panthers passed on Wilks, I don’t see him ever wanting to work with the Panthers ever again…If the Panthers get sour about Reich three years from now, Wilks will not be available, but if the Panthers would have went ahead and took Wilks as their head coach now, and say he was gone from here three years later, the Panthers could have then made Frank Reich their head coach…
Should have made Wilks the man now, and if needed, brought in Reich later…Reich was not going anywhere, there was no demand elsewhere for Frank Reich, and now Wilks will never want to a part of the Panthers, ever again…++++++++++
(Agree, or disagree, wondering what others are thinking about this one???)
