Titans To Release RB Demarco Murray

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

Remember how Titans running back Derrick Henry really stepped up this past postseason? He helped lead the Titans to that incredible come from behind 22-21 upset win over the Chiefs in the AFC Wildcard game.

Yeah well…it looks like he stepped up into the number one running back slot as well.

Because the man he replaced in that game, DeMarco Murray – who was nursing a sore knee – will now be dealing with some hurt feelings as the Titans have announced that they’ll be releasing Murray.

To review, Murray joined Tennessee for the 2016 season after his worst season ever with the Philadelphia Eagles and picked up where he had left off with Dallas juts one season earlier, rushing for 1,287 yards, nine TD’s and a third Pro Bowl selection.

But the significant number he hit last year was the dreaded running back age of 30, and like most, that was when everything really stared to decline.

Starting with his health, as a banged-up Murray gained just 659-yards while averaging a career-low 3.6-yards per carry this season.

And that’s when Murray took over down the stretch reminding us that while great QB’s often play into their late 30’s, the running back spot is a young man’s game.

Patriots To Go Without Defensive Coordinator Next Season

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

When Patriots’ defensive coordinator Matt Patricia—the man who helped lead the team to three Super Bowls—left this offseason to take over the head coaching job in Detroit, many said nobody could replace him.

And it looks like those people were exactly right.

Because the Patriots coordinator next season will be, basically…nobody.

While linebackers coach Brian Flores will assume play-calling duties, he will not be promoted to defensive coordinator. In fact, that position will be vacant for the Patriots next season.

But hey, it’s not like Flores can’t climb the ladder and someday be as good as nobody. Because that’s exactly how Patricia got the gig.

“The move mirrors New England’s grooming process of Patricia, who was given defensive play-calling duties for the Patriots following the 2010 departure of [Dean] Pees,” says Yahoo! Sports. “New England’s former defensive coordinator Patricia’s title was not officially promoted to defensive coordinator until 2012.”

Yup, Pees left after the 2009 season and it wasn’t til two seasons later that Patricia actually named DC on 2012.

Sure looks like patience paid off for him…. Patriots fans hope it will for Flores as well.

Luke Bryan Feels The Pressure On ‘American Idol’

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

Luke Bryan is out promoting American Idol and stopped by Good Morning America yesterday as well as Live with Kelly & Ryan.

On Good Morning America Luke admitted that he’s been feeling a bit of pressure on “AI,” sharing, “I mean, I have laid awake… worrying about, ‘Did I make the right decision?’ with some of these contestants,” he shared. “It’s so critical.”

Luke says he found it hard to criticize other singers, noting “it’s a little out of my comfort zone to just pick people apart,” but in the end he realized he had to, offering, “It’s what you signed up for.”

Meanwhile, during his visit to Live with Kelly & Ryan, Luke admitted to sneaking in a little booze to help him get through auditions. “”I had a beer. One beer,” he joked. “Hey, I figure all my fans drink beer and listen to me. I figure, I can sit back, have a beer, watch some contestants.”

ONE MORE THING! Luke was supposed to appear on The View tomorrow, but his appearance has been pushed to Friday.
