I spent the entire day watching football…again
Never thought I’d be saying this a few weeks ago, but hey, the Bears look decent! Many (including me) had written this team off long ago, but someone seems to have found a defibrillator for the offensive line, and let me tell you what a difference a Chandler makes. Kordell, back to the Steelers wid cha. (I wanted us the sign Jake Plummer or Brian Griese in the first place. We don’t need a scrambler—we need a passer.) Now granted, this last win was against the lowly Chargers, but the Bears were thoroughly dominating and looked more like a wild card team than a cellar dweller. I’m encouraged. They seem to have taken to heart points #2 through #6 in my Nine Point Plan for a season turnaround.
Switching gears, the vaunted Bucs are now 4-4. Warren Sapp must’ve been too busy constructing a complicated political analysis of the NFL to practice. Confidential to the Chunky-Thighed One: Slaves don’t earn millions a year. You do. But your lard-ass shouldn’t—Simeon Rice is far better than you on your own D-line. Leave the analogies to the professionals, and you concentrate on Atkins. Thanks.
Oh, and as much as I hate Cris Collinsworth and his nasal, snide, negative commentary in every NFL game he calls, it was damn-near comedy during the Redskins-Cowboys game. He laid into everyone, and the entire Fox team was actually disgusted with the product they were putting on the air. I might have turned off the TV were it not for their refreshing self-awareness.
On the topic of the Redskins, I simply cannot believe the stupidity of the Redskins organization, and more specifically, Steve Spurrier. This guy is a Grade A Assclown. Jimmy Johnson called him out at halftime like I haven’t heard in a long, long time. They fired their backup QB, Rob Johnson, prior to getting a replacement. Two problems here:
- They have to pay Rob Johnson for the entire season anyway. Duh.
- They wanted to bring in Danny Wuerrfel as a backup but he told Spurrier to stick his visor where the sun don’t shine. Whoops.
So the Redskins—the venerable Redskins—an NFL organization—an organization dedicated to making money—an organization attempting to win games in the National Football League—starts Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys with one quarterback who knows the offense (Patrick Ramsey) and a backup who’s been there for one week and barely knows the plays (Tim Hasselback). What happens if Ramsey gets knocked out of the game (which he did, briefly)? You’ve got someone who doesn’t even know your offense running the show!
If that’s not the worst personnel move ever, do me one better in the Comments section. Fire Visor-Boy immediately.
Wow. Illinois sucks. New coach, please.
And hey Miami, didn’t you used to have some kind of win streak?
