This Week in Sportsball: NFL Week Eighteen Edition (2023)

[@motivationallizard6644]

Vrabel, Carrol, and Nick Saban getting fired or retiring in the span of two days has been one of the most chaotic weeks of coaching news I’ve ever seen in football.

[@worldsgreatestdude1784]

Imagine if Belichick goes.

[@TimLSim]

Alabama students, fans, and alumni are about to feel what Manchester United supporters have painfully felt for almost a decade: the era where they absolutely become mediocre or terrible when their greatest coach retires.

[@Kaiserboo1871]

⁠@@TimLSimit’s not the first time. They experienced this when Bear Bryant retired.

[@Chozo_Ghost]

There are some rumblings going around that one of the biggest reasons for Saban's sudden retirement announcement (if not the sole reason) is that his wife, Miss Terry, is showing early signs of dementia. As someone who just recently lost his only remaining grandmother to dementia after a years-long battle, I can totally see why this announcement was so sudden.

[@ForelliBoy]

maybe the hawks can get Dan Quinn back from the Cowboys so they can have a proper defense again

[@maxmuetzel5364]

The Derek Henry scene was pure gold. Such grace for King Henry.

[@obijuanquenobi1911]

The LOTR music made it so much better

[@xXLordoftheRingsXx22]

Forth Eorlingas!

[@shioriryukaze]

I actually dropped a tear or two. I don't know if Derrick Henry will ever be picked up again. But if he does, I hope he goes to a team that's actually vying for a super bowl championship. Because if there's ever somebody who deserves a ring, it's him.

[@jaspermork833]

Legit almost teared up 😂😂

[@chrisredfield6274]

​@@shioriryukaze I'd actually love to see King Henry on the Lions or Tampa Bay. But yeah he deserves a ring. His running style is aggressive but also fluid and majestic. He looks like a literal gazelle out there, and he's incredibly fun to use in Madden.

[@joshuawalton6447]

The worst part of this episode is that it’s the last one of the NFL season.

[@UHOH_415]

Good thing the playoffs are here. Should be a fun ride.

[@freakfoxvevo7915]

I await the UFL season

[@icetr3y488]

My same exact thoughts as I clicked on the vid :(

[@tehbeernerd]

God does not close a door (end of NFL Sportsball) without also opening a window (playoff videos and NHL coverage)

[@vortechzz]

well at least we will get the haters guide to the playoffs?

[@shioriryukaze]

I legit cried when you started talking about Derrick Henry. I hope wherever he goes, they treat him like the juggernaut that he is. Get this man a ring!

[@MLPIceberg]

Get that man a crown and 3 rings. He deserves it.

[@UniversalJuan]

Get this man to KC. Him replacing McKinnon and aside Pacheco? Yessssss.... Ring time

[@zackyep]

Buffalo?

[@AutoArtemAuto]

​@@zackyep Better... Baltimore.

[@SortaNonymous]

I may hate the Ravens, but if this is his last chance to get a ring, then fine Baltimore, get that ring for King Henry and then get out of my face for the rest of the decade. And also please tell me Cincy will get a ring too this decade.

[@thekingbarrelmaker7642]

This was a season. There were the good teams (maybe two or three of them), the meh teams, the bad teams, and the Panthers.

[@dnasty312]

aka *DEATH*

[@berbrick1902]

This is amazing

[@Rickolee]

Yeah & we got beat by them.

[@stellarstarmie8221]

Replace that with the Eagles... there was literally a tweet out there joking that UMich had a legitimate chance to beat Philly.

[@Kohaku9002]

And the Falcons, who somehow lost to the Panthers

[@swagger234]

Bro I almost shed a tear with King Henry running to the LOTR soundtrack (21:32) haha brilliant work. Another Sportsball year in the book ✅

[@thekingbarrelmaker7642]

I could only envision the King chanting “DEATH” three times and then “FORTH EORLINGAS” before taking the field.

[@polarbear80698]

King Henry stands alone Not alone. ROHIRRIM

[@evanherynk5863]

It was awesome. Probably my favorite way he's presented one of his recaps in any video.

[@wyattfire2151]

Ironic. Just cleared through the trilogy recently. I watched the extended editions of these with my sister who had seen them before. Loved them

[@alcsportkid]

I almost did too. Damn poetic is what it is...

[@hunterulbright221]

The Derrick Henry - Return of the King Crossover is a top 5 Sportsball moment of all time. Goosebumps

[@Trox4955]

You did King Henry so much justice in this video. That had to be one of the best clips of him with that music.

[@jonathanpusar5931]

I think he has 2 more good years left. Hope he joins the Bills for a title run. Him, Allen, and Cook would be unbeatable.

[@Trox4955]

@@jonathanpusar5931 I was thinking the same thing man. That or maybe Vrabel gets the head coach job in New England and takes him with him

[@evanrawls91]

Bro, the LOTR music with Henry’s highlights gave me goosebumps. What a phenomenal performance from him.

[@tonyhernandez7774]

The final “I’m calling both games!” until the beginning of next season’s Sportsball. Hopefully Tree doesn’t forget to include it in the first week again💀

[@Drogon7102]

There should be a channel award for "Quote of the Year". I feel like there are always a handful of gems that coaches and players drop every year that get memed on. These quotes deserve their recognition!

I cracked up at the "playoffs by default" for the Bucs. So painfully true

And yet I like their chances against Philly

[@IceNinja2007]

Your choice of music has been absolutely fantastic. The Gunstar Heros music during the Seattle Arizona game is fantastic.

[@kinglatsev]

As a Titans fan the way you handled King Henry in the Titans/Jags segment, was beautiful. It honestly brought a little tear to my eye. It’s the end of an era here in Tennessee, but I feel like the future is bright. Long live the King.

[@justinnzamora5366]

30:22 I was one of those Hawks fans wanting the club to revamp the coaching the system for 2024 but the Pete Carroll news from earlier today still shook me. Regardless of what anyone says, Pete is a coaching legend in the Emerald City and he honestly deserves a spot in Canton one day. Thank you for your 14 years of coaching services, Pete Carroll.

[@colbyburns9438]

Thanks for the memories Coach Pete! Made Seattle a winner and I loved his enthusiasm. I'll always remember him making the Hawks fun to watch, not only for the negative like super bowl 49 or always losing to the Rams Had to be time to move on though and I'm excited for the future I think there is a promising core on this team that could compete under a new leader.

Me too.

[@DefendYoungstown]

In two slight bits of "extracurricular LOL" this week both thanks to Jacksonville: 1) The implosion of Shad's team is on par with his son's AEW booking. 2) in local news (and probably close enough to reach UTree himself), a fairly big story was how Browns fans had to essentially re-plan premade playoff logistics as it was assumed the Jags would have won ONE more game and Cleveland would meet Jacksonville. Jacksonville had even been advertising to THEIR fans how they had playoff tickets for sale for a few weeks now. Now, they don't have shit, and a lot of folks from NE Ohio scrambling to redirect their gameday vacations from Florida to Texas. What I'm saying is, the Jaguars disappointed TWO different fanbases. That's saying something.

[@Chuck_EL]

Well at least Shad isn't acting like a emo teenage girl on Twitter when he's criticized

[@nautgamingnautgaming9949]

That's the type of crap that is BEGGING for a massive dose of karma to be induced That makes me a packers fan NOT look completely insufferable which I am n will humbly admit Humble up n realize you ain't all that in Jacksonville n work hard or you're going to enter the same pit Carolina is when they hired fitterer n Dom capers

[@eduardoazeredo6250]

Last year, when Vrabel won the power struggle with previous Titans GM, you were the only one calling out him for being way too power hungry. You nailed it at that time and time is telling it now! Really appreciate you for showing such an insight towards a team that is very often overlooked beyond a radius of 5 miles away from Nashville!

[@catchultr]

I’m so glad you understand the decision to move on from Vrabel, it’s crazy how you know more than most espn commentators on why Vrabel was fired. He is a classic football guy, but he despises change and different opinions. He wants to run the titans organization with his friends and doesn’t make decisions that are good for this team but good for the people he likes. People saying otherwise have not really been paying close attention to him or this team.
