Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

Now we start with some thoughts on Championship Weekend. In fact, in a a way kind of bigger than that the most

controversial figure in the NFL playoffs so far. In fact I'll even walk that back. Who would you think or who would you say is the most

controversial polarizing figure in the NFL playoffs so far? Aside from Eli Apple, who's speaking of walking things back.

Aside from Eli Apple, who would you say it is?

Well, I'm going to say it's this guy and I'm going to say this guy got a nice, fresh, swift slap in the face

this AM. I'm talking about the Philly bro coaching the Philly Eagles. Nick Seriani, he might have just

spent the vast majority of the regular season as the vaguest

favorite to win the AP NFL coach of the year. However, this morning he found out

he's not even a finalist.

The actual finalists for Coach of the Year are

Kyle Junior Lobster, Shanahan, adopted brother of James Big Kelly, Brian, that dude

Dabel, and Doug, not Pervin Lyer, Peterson.

Yet another L for you, Perve, hump day dude. That's devastating. Heartbreaking.

So Seriani's not even a finalist.

Naturally, Philly fan is freaking furious.

And probably spelling,

freaking and furious with P's and H's,

because of course they're freaking furious. They're freaking Philly fan.

Philly fan this morning sounds like Philly fan every morning.

You know, essentially a hybrid of Jason Kelsey and Mark in Hollywood.

No one likes us. No one likes us.
