Blog: October 2007 Archives
When Mark Richt of Georgia sent his entire team into the endzone against Florida to “celebrate” a touchdown, I was reminded of why I never shed a tear for coaches who get fired in college sports.
Blog: The Lost Boys
It’s all a big joke. Nice effort. And nice job by Gibbs to soft-mouth, mush-mush, the game afterward. I’d get more mad, but what’s the point? Its obvious now, that paranoid Gibbs just won’t use the middle of the field, won’t allow Gre (he’s lost those last two “G’s” for genius) Williams to play an ears-pinned-back aggressive scheme anymore because Gibbs can’t score enough to spackle over mistakes.
Another week, more mediocrity in college football. You know, by the time this season stops spinning, most of you people scolding me as somehow being “anti” college football will understand the point I’ve been making all along.
My team has been given a title shot at the undisputed heavyweight champ this weekend. I am grateful for it, although I am admittedly a little bit scared. Scared of losing badly, but also scared of – if you can believe it – winning.
I love Carrie Underwood. I mean, she’s in my “Fave 5” without a doubt. However, when I read the following quote about her “Not Quite Boyfriend” Tony Romo in the current issue of EW, I just had to shake my head in disappointment.
Michelle Wie has got to be one of the stupidest people to ever get into Stanford (this side of Todd Lichti at least). Here’s a few quotes from her about attending the prestigious University while her golf career crumbles.
The offense is KILLING the defense. Killing it. Gregg Williams must be ready to jump Joe Gibbs on the sideline, Buddy Ryan/Kevin Gilbride style. Furthermore, this team has no killer instinct. None. I think most of that is Gibbs, not so much the players. But there was no less than 4 different game junctures in which the Skins had the dagger in their hand, and yet failed to stick it in.
My friend and columnist Thom Loverro of the Washington Times has said now for YEARS that the steroid scandal in baseball was far from over. He has said that people waiting for “the other shoe” to drop are woefully naïve. Thom has said there’s a CLOSET full of shoes yet to drop.
Sure most fans want more fire and brimstone from players. They want to believe in the fairytale that players live and die like fans. But get real. That’s a myth. Pros are pros. They don’t do it for the love of the game. They do it for a living. There’s a difference.
I’ve been a Jimmy Kimmel fan for a while now. I’m an even bigger fan after hearing about THIS: Kimmel sending a “shout out” to Joe Thiesmann – while in the booth with Tirico, Jaws and Korny on MNF!
The relentless meat grinder of injuries that is the NFL however, conspired to deliver two quarterbacks who were playing on essentially one week’s crash course prep. I repeat: the QUARTERBACK! The most vaunted position on the field. The most crucial component of an organization.
My first visit (of hopefully more to come) to the hallowed Lambeau Field, was an incredible adventure. And truth be told, it wasn’t so much that my team the Redskins got shot in the head, they pretty much shot themselves in the foot. Repeatedly.
Right now, it’s Monday. And I am recovering from my Virgin Visit to Lambeau Field. Full write up in my column this week. More notes on the game itself in tomorrow’s blog entry.
Every year, about early November, with the holidays coming up, and the novelty of football on TV every Sunday worn off, I have to remind myself: “Better embrace it Czabe. Because it’ll be gone before you know it. And the spring and summer is so, soooo, long.”
ESPN has landed back at Magnolia Lane, and in a big way! Bumping USA Network starting next year, the four-letter will have the 4-7 Thursday/Friday window. Let's hope they keep it in the fairway, so to speak. If Berman is anywhere near the coverage, I'm starting a riot. Also, could the small spike in MLB ratings so far be all about start times? Hmmmm....
Blog: Behold Cavemen: FIRE!
To put it simply, the new Nano is so small, so crisp, so freaking outerspace hi-tech, future-tastic, that I couldn’t resist. And now, I watch it even more than my other “clunky” iPod. This is the genius of Apple and Steve Jobs. He can create something so technologically cool and fun to use, that it truly feels like you have some secret government developed gizmo that you only see in Bond movies.
Lost in the malaise of the 2nd half Giants collapse, was the optimism built up over the first two weeks. Lost in the over-analysis of “who” the Skins 2-wins were against (yes, I’m guilty as charged in that category too!) was the solid fundamentals this team was displaying.
Saturday night, flipping around between college pig and our National Pastime. I had been watching the Cubs squander opportunities, take horrible at-bats with RISP, and look generally listless in their win-or-go-home game against the D’Backs.
Hurricane Belichick is moving over warmer water, and gaining strength. It’s already a “Category 5” and I’m not sure the rest of the NFL – or its bantering class on TV and radio – fully understands what’s happening. There are rare cases in sports where “Super Teams” form, and then proceed to demolish every opponent in their path.
The baseball playoffs have begun, and I am excited. Granted, most of the late-nite, weekday games, I will not be able to watch in their entirety. Such is the life of constant 4:30 a.m. wake up calls. Someday, somehow, I am going to find a way to TAPE my morning show “The First Team On Fox” from my basement around midnight, and then we’ll just replay it from 6-9 a.m. while I snooze comfortably.
Isiah should have been out for a long time now, for being a total disaster as GM and coach. Now you can add to that a conviction as a sexual harasser who cost his boss $11 million in a high profile trial that was the public relations equivalent of Hurricane Katrina.
Blog: The Curse of Norv
There was a dreaded feeling among Charger fans that hiring a proven head coach loser, was going to be a colossal mistake. But how big is that mistake going to end up being? Is it wrong to think that firing Norv Turner NOW might actually do some good? Just re-name him "The Cooler" and watch Norv turn a 14 win Marty juggernaut into an 8-win group of whiners.
