As the coaching carousal starts to spin, it’s just a matter of time before it spins again. And one of the things that will make it whirl every year is the reality that most teams have two guys with substantial roles in the football operations: Coach and General Manager.

The Bengals need a win and help to secure a first-round playoff bye. As for the moment, they need help to get going. The Ravens hold a 6-0 second quarter lead in Cincinnati. It appeared it was going to be 10-0 but a Ryan Mallett touchdown pass to Jeremy Butler was overturned by replay review.…

The Suns are still spiraling after recent turmoil.

The Cowboys are clearly showing their priorities today, playing for the thing they need the most — a top-five pick.

The Cowboys have already turned it over twice (quarterback Kellen Moore has a fumble…
