I still don't know what everyone was expecting Leno to do. He was pushed out to pasture before he was ready. Conan fell flat on his face in that spot, and NBC asked Jay to come back. So if Jay says no and they bring in someone else, would that make everyone feel better?

Surely Conan's ratings weren't low due to the previous host being on before him.

Look, the only reason Conan lost his show to Leno was because it wasn't making money for the network.

If everyone liked Conan and the ratings were there, it wouldn't make any difference who Leno blows, Conan is staying on.

I never really understood this whole "Let's stand behind Conan" stuff, because the people up in arms that he got cancelled were obviously not watching him.

I don't give network executives credit for enough intestinal fortitude to stand behind someone just because they like him. It's all dollars and cents for these guys.

A network executive would give his mothers murderer a show if the ratings were there.

Leno brings more viewers to the table, so he wins.....simple as that.

This.

I don't find any of the 3 entertaining.

Also, this.

People ragging on Conan aren't taking into account two things:

Leno still had a show on BEFORE Conan once he got the Tonight Show spot. Leno's ratings also weren't very good, but they decided to push Conan out because Leno was unhappy and wanted his spot back.

The other thing is, Conan's show wasn't Conan anymore. It was greatly reduced and toned down once he was doing the Tonight Show... I guess to cater to the older audience whose greatest joy was listening to "Headlines" and having a slight chuckle on 1 out of 10 jokes in Leno's monologue.

Good to see Conan still doing his thing, he is a hilarious guy and a great interviewer/show host.

      I think that looked much better on Bryce's part than tmacs.  He made a really good adjustment to the ball but his separation is what is always going to worry me, he had absolutely none with Jackson on that play, Bryce threw him open.

      I wouldn't be mad at it. I often call Luke "the best ILB that I've ever seen," and I've watched the game in earnest since I was nine, but I think there is more going on with Steve Smith---meaning it's political---than perhaps should be. I understand that he was not the nicest person---an asshole at times basically. People don't or didn't like him. That being said, he's still 8th all time in receiving yards, ahead of guys who have their gold jackets:   * Marvin Harrison (9th)  * Andre Johnson (11th)  * James Lofton (12th)  * Cris Carter (13th)   At some point, Smitty has to be inducted solely based upon the numbers (not to mention producing big results at his stature in a big man's game). I can see the snub early due to his temperament, but I hope it doesn't become a "thing," and I don't think Panthers fans, or NFL fans in general, should stay silent about it if it does.

      for those who can't see the Twitter post, I'm assuming this post is about the list published in February with Greg and TD?    https://sports.yahoo.com/10-great-nfl-players-eligible-035121461.html
