The NFL plans to "give consideration this offseason to making pass interference calls subject to instant replay" after the controversial finish to yesterday's NFC title game. A source said, "It will be discussed at length along with additional fouls that coaches feel should be subject to review." The competition committee has been "staunchly opposed in the past to making judgment calls such as pass interference reviewable by replay." But the outcome of Rams-Saints "might be enough to change some minds" (WASHINGTONPOST.com, 1/21).

The NFL announced its London game matchups for the '19 season: Panthers-Buccaneers, Texans-Jaguars, Bears-Raiders and Bengals-Rams. The inclusion of the Panthers and Texans means the Packers are the "only NFL team that will not have played" in the U.K. The locations and dates of the games "will be announced later." Two of the U.K. games "will be played at Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium, and the other two at Wembley Stadium" (ESPN.com, 1/21).

Meanwhile, the Chiefs and Chargers are scheduled to play in Mexico's Estadio Azteca in '19. The Chiefs "will be the visiting team, and the date will be set when the schedule is revealed this spring." This comes after Chiefs-Rams was moved out of Mexico in November '18 (KANSASCITY.com, 1/21).

Falcons President & CEO Rich McKay reiterated that Mercedes-Benz Stadium "would have its 'Fan First Menu Pricing'" in place at Super Bowl LIII. Compared to concession prices for last year's game at U.S. Bank Stadium, a "hot dog is $4 less expensive" at the Atlanta venue, while "beer is $1.10 less per 20 ounces." McKay said that "increasing the prices based on the magnitude of the Super Bowl was never an option." A meeting "took place two weeks ago with concessionaire Levy to make the final preparations for the Super Bowl," and one "last-minute alteration was to add another walk-in cooler" (ESPN.com, 1/21).

Golfer Rickie Fowler has reached a multiyear deal to "play TaylorMade golf clubs and a TaylorMade glove," and he will begin using the new gear in competition later this week at the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open. He had been playing a Titleist Pro V1 ball for "essentially his whole golfing career." Other pro players who use a TaylorMade ball include Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose (PGATOUR.com, 1/21). Fowler, who will continue to use Cobra clubs, said, "I haven’t made any changes to my equipment and I don’t plan to in order to accommodate the golf ball" (GOLFDIGEST.com, 1/21).

Insurance brokerage and risk management firm Gallagher & Co. has renewed its deal with NTT IndyCar Series team Carlin Racing for the '19 season. Financial terms were not disclosed for the extension, which will see Illinois-based Gallagher continue to sponsor Carlin’s No. 59 Chevy driven by Max Chilton. The deal is for the full season; such deals usually cost at least $5M. Gallagher used to be aligned with Chilton when he first entered IndyCar in '16 at Chip Ganassi Racing. Gallagher, which also has a deal with the Cubs, works with Weber Shandwick for PR.

Romo is great, but saying a good TV commentator would make a good coordinator is like saying the actors on Grey’s Anatomy would be amazing surgeons.

I am seriously trying to imagine the conversation in the FSU recruiting office where someone said, “let’s photoshop MLK doing the tomahawk chop, that’ll be cool.”

When you give up home games annually and ask for the 2019 version to be the game against the team that now has the superstar player you bragged about trading so you don't get embarrassed in your home stadium ... that is the definition of a weak franchise.

WARNING: Over the next 2 weeks you’re gonna hear radio & tv sports hosts use the word “dynastic” over and over when referring to the Patriots. They are indeed a dynasty. But anyone using the word “dynastic” is just trying to sound smart. Don’t let it work on you.
