I thought the link was going to say that ManGenius was accusing Sparano of taping some Jets' practices ;D

I said it on another thread, but I find the mediocrity in the NFL pretty damn boring. I guess parity is fun if your team is fighting for a chance at the playoffs on the last day but... The Bears and Bucs can't win when the season is on the line? Pathetic. The Eagles got lucky, backing in to the playoffs. But credit to them for winning a big game. They are a bit reminiscent of the Giants last year -- getting hot at the right time, season turning around late in the year. They very well could make the Super Bowl. Ugh. The Giants didn't realize they were hot at the right time until they found themselves in the NFC title game. I mean, we lost two of three going into the playoffs, though the loss to the Patriots was valiant or whatnot. Who knows, maybe the Eagles are the 2007 Giants. Each had horrific losses to Washington mixed in to the last three weeks, that very nearly cost themselves playoff spots.

Mangenius Out...perhaps it was the deer in the headlights look the past few weeks. It will be interesting to see if he can get a job now.

4-0, 5-1, finish up at 7-9. It will take a while for me to forgive the '08 Bills for giving me so much hope at the beginning of the season.

How many choke jobs, let me count the ways (in reverse order of chokiness, IMHO).
4. Jets. Brett who? Thanks for coming.
3. Denver. We've been hearing this tale for awhile, but at least they had an excuse. Still, blowing a three game lead with three to play is pretty bad.
2. Dallas. America's Team? Wow, I hope not. If so, what does this say about America? Thanks for showing up for what turned out to be a pre-playoff playoff game. I have to say I thorougly enjoyed this result. It's always fun to see the Cowboys completely humiliated.
1. Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest choke artists of 2008, the Tampa Bay Bucs. WTF? Wasn't this team 9-3 just a few weeks ago, and looking at a bye? How did this happen? A team that was unbeaten at home took back to back dives against the Chargers and the Raiders. Let me repeat that. These bums lost at home to the Oakland Raiders with their season on the line. In retrospect, one win in their last four games would have put them in the playoffs. Too bad they didn't play the Lions yesterday.
Dishonorable mention: Buffalo and the Redskins. At least these teams didn't wait until the last part of the season to fall apart. But thanks to the Bills for beating the Broncos last week. ;D
I just about fell off my chair when reading Boz's note about Jonathan Coachman. It will make my day if I tune into a playoff game and hear coverage from Jim Ross and the King.

I repeat:
Be a-scared of Ed Reed. Be very a-scared.
Time for a little payback in Nashville. You remember the Ravens defense when they're playing this well, don't you Kerry Collins??

The Patriots are putting the franchise tag on Cassel. As per espn's report that will mean he'll earn $14 million next season. sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3809444Has Belicheck lost it? 14 million to Cassel? Really? Thats about a million for every NFL start he has under his belt. Hell, thats about a million for every start the guy has under his belt since high school. Lets say for a second that Tom Brady's leg is ready for next season, are the Pats really going to try to field a 53 man roster with a 14 million dollar backup QB? What sane NFL GM would trade for Cassel if he comes with a $14 million cap hit? The guy was pretty good this year, but, thats mighty steep.

Well--I'm going to turn this into what it deserves--a Brett Favre bashing rant and throw in a hated figure to prove my point even more--Terrell Owens. If I were to tell you that the media makes excuses for a guy at any cost--then would you expect him to be: 1. A guy who works hard in offseason/in practices and busted his behind to get back on field 2 times he was severly injured--and even to point he has his own hyperbolic chamber for recovery reasons. He was a dominant player on Super Bowl losing team despite being injured. Never been arrested or caught using drugs, DUI, etc.... 2. A guy who always does the minimum work required and lone Super Bowl victory was result of a Kick Returner winning the MVP against a team whose Head Coach was negotiating to get another HC job the week of the Super Bowl. He's an admitted drunk from his days with team that selected him--to point he was traded, and he was hooked on pain medication as well. What a role model. Think we'd all answer #1. Not the media. Owens is treated as a parasite and all he's done in his career is produce, work hard in preparing/performing and be an ego driven psycho. If you look who his mentor was in SF--Jerry Rice--and read about how Jerry behaved--Owens learned his behavior from greatest WR ever to play. Owens can be a selfish jerk--but he also has spoken the truth NUMEROUS TIMES (I believe his race factors in here quite a bit in media) and it's been ignored due to various reasons--but you can't say he's not correct--especially since he's been in Dallas. When he gets the ball and is focal point--they win. When he doesn't--they lose. Now let's get into "Our Brett" as ESPN love poem called him. This clown is known as a "great" guy and competitor--despite the fact he doesn't work hard at all in offseason, lies about retirement so he can skip offseason workouts (OTA's, QB School, Training Camp) and then thinks the league owes him right to play where HE wants. He's a phony POSER. His work ethic is what is wrong in this country with athletes right now--and he should be called to carpet. His "injury" is a result of not lifting, not preparing to play, and being a lazy piece of feces. Specifically the fact the guy doesn't have discipline to do film work/study, and relies on his arm--when fact is--older you get--harder you have to work. Brett Favre is the epitomy of what is wrong with media coverage. If he throws a ball into triple coverage that Tarvaris Jackson, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, etc... would--he's hyped as "being the ultimate competitor" but they are "making stupid plays". Why? Because he doesn't shave, talks with a twang, and wears Wrangler Jeans--who pay him big dollas btw. Face it--this man is a lazy, washed up goober, who tried to muscle the Green Bay front office/coaches around and get to Minnesota--only to end up in New York--where his play would be judged on merit--not reputation. He was outplayed by a pop gun armed, mediocre QB named Chad Pennington--and in all honesty--you could say Favre was 4th best QB in AFC East--behind Cassel, Pennington, and Trent Edwards this year. Yet-there is 3/4 seperate updates on him during New Year's day bowl coverage on the ticker and about his "injuries". Well get your fat ass in a weightroom and workout as a Professional would and maybe this wouldn't happen. BTW--will American's Bumpkin be working out with a Middle School team this year in prep for the NFL season and impressing Chris Mortensen--which tells you how frigging sickening the coverage is. A future Hall of Famer (due to his MVP's--which 2 are questionable) should be able to impress throwing against air, no rush, and HS players in a small bumpkin town. Oh that Mort--how does he get the scoops? Oh well-Bumpkin Boy--look forward to your next set of lies and just remember--not liking someone is not a reason to believe the media--as the Favre/Owens coverage shows.

brad childress must go, and take tavaris jackson with him. zygi wilf has wasted the best years of mckinnie, birk, hutchinson, both williams, and winfield with this moron as coach and crap at QB. hire someone in the front office that actually knows something about football...then get a new head coach (leslie frazier), a QB that doesn't crap himself under pressure, an offensive coordinator with the slightest bit of imagination, and special teams coach.
also, blow up that frigging roller rink and build an OUTDOOR stadium.
