Blog: September 2006 Archives
No matter what happens from here forward, I think it's pretty safe to say that the T.O. gamble taken by Jerry Jones, is on the verge of a quick crap out. Oh sure, things still could fall into place, but look at all the things that need to happen first. And regardless of what really happened the other night, it's now pretty clear. T.O. needs help.
The never ending soap opera that is Terrell Owens, got blasted into a new orbit of drama Wednesday, when his publicist dropped a 911 dime into EMT and the PD in Dallas. Bing, bang, boom, next thing you know, and we've got the phrase "attempted suicide" being thrown around. Rest assured, as the facts come out, the plot will surely thicken.
Apparently, when ESPN airs a show that it calls "The Sports Reporters" they really don't want actual "reporters" who have independent opinions. They want instead, to have timid sheep, who share their ESPN agenda in lockstep. Well, Big Sexy Jason Whitlock of the KC Star is no longer marching to the ESPN drum. And I love it!
There's a saying in the NFL that simply goes: "You play your schedule." It means don't look gift wins in the eye. Take 'em and run. There will be plenty of bad breaks, lousy efforts, and brutal stretches later. Don't be proud. The Skins needed the lousy Texans to come along just when they did. Thank god for that. It might have saved the season.
Funny how sometimes I start writing, and just can't stop. Why, I'd dare say it was good therapy for me after watching the Ryder Cup in frustration all weekend. I've got a lot to get off my chest today, so the NFL and everything else will just have to wait another day. And for all you golf-haters out there, don't worry. This is pretty much the last shot for 2006.
This year, for the first time in many, I can really root openly, and hard for the good ol' US of A. Not that I didn't want them to win before, but the attitude was so poor compared to the Euros, that it wasn't much fun. This time, as the underdogs, I think the boys will do us proud!
If you have a football team that is running smoothly, and want to throw some instant drama into the mix, then go ahead and acquire a "big name" so-called "franchise" wide receiver. Then sit back, and watch the fun. This year, perhaps more than any other, has seen wideouts take center stage for off-field news.
I thought I never would see the day where I missed Chris Berman and Stu-yah! Scott, but that day is here. NBC has essentially ruined a great, great, Sunday tradition with their sham of a pre-game/hi-lite/promo-fest known as "Football Night In America." Will this letter change a thing? No. But it sure did feel good for me to write!
No matter how hard Gibbs closes his ears and chants: "nanananananan.. I can't heeaaarrr yooooouuuu..." the fact that people are questioning his #8 car is a reality. You don't get to "schedule" when a QB controvery erupts. It happens based on plainly observable events. And right now, the big question is how deep is Gibbs' loyalty to Brunell. Is it enough to overcome reality? We'll see soon...
You would think that video replay in football, would at least render the obvious calls, easily correctable. Think again. If you watched the on-sides kick that Oregon executed to help complete their epic comeback against Oklahoma, you would have seen a case where even replay refs in college football can be deaf, dumb, and blind.
Sometimes in the NFL, you have to "dumpster diving" in terms of picking games. And by that, I mean you need to bet a team in a game where every fiber in your body says "this is stupid!" And this week, my team is the Raiders. Despicable and clueless in so many ways, they are nobody's "rational" pick. But I love 'em. Here's why...
Incredibly, there are football fans out there who STILL think that Robert Geathers of the Bengals should be fined/suspended for his hit on Trent Green. Two things that should put that notion to rest.
First, is the NFL’s own lengthy clarification letter on the rule. The key paragraphs is as follows…
You would think the PGA Tour has never been sitting more pretty than now. Tiger Woods is dominating, and the game still has thousands of high end golf courses and a grip on upper-end corporate demographics. But tough times could be ahead for the PGA Tour, especially if Tim Finchem's no-compromise tactics backfire. Time will tell, but the grumbling has already begun.
The Redskins game was late, so this blog post won’t reflect the outcome of the game. But I needed to say this about Clinton Portis. The whole thing about not wanting to play pre-season, and him declaring himself “out” for like weeks at a time, I am sure had pushed Joe Gibbs over the edge...
Everybody will do their own little thing for this 5th anniversary of 9/11. And I'm cool with that. However, starting on 9/12 I would like to see a new focus by our elected leaders, and the people paid to comment upon them. The focus? What we should do NOW, and into the FUTURE. No more finger pointing, no more Monday Morning Quarterbacking of this event.
You gotta love the smell of fresh NFL point spreads in the morning! We've been waiting all spring and summer to finally have a chance to "fire some in" as my degenerate buddies say. So why the hell wait? Because you want to "see" what happens the first few weeks? Like the NFL will make any more sense then, than is does now. Please. Get in there, and start swingin!
First night ratings were boffo for perky Katie on CBS News. Now, can she keep them up? Personally, I thought her presentation was weak, and the new format for the show awfully watered down. But hey, I don't "use" the network news, so what do I care? Everyone is chiming in with wardrobe and makeup suggestions. I say roll her out "au natural" like here. She's fine!
A long, long, time ago (okay, 1998, specifically) someone I worked with tried to start a rumor that "The Crocodile Hunter" had died while wrasslin' "a rippah!" Of course, those reports were indeed premature. But the thought was always out there. This nut is going to run out of luck, sometime! Sadly, that run, ended on Monday. RIP, Mr. Irwin.
Blog: Not So Fast, My Friend!
As much as I like Lee Corso on ESPN's College Gameday, I think his days of "rational analysis" of games has left him. Sure, he's always good for a little bit of "rah rah" from the assembled fans on campus. And I sort of enjoy his array of catchphrases. But after two big clunkers right out of the gate this weekend, it might be a long year for the ex-'Nole.
