Just some weekend musings...........
The game between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins was unwatchable......The teams traveled some 4500 miles to play in a rain soaked -- torn up turf -- stadium? Earth to the NFL...........WHY??? You are not the NBA....You're not baseball........You're not soccer. You are the NFL ...... You are ....by far -- the best, most efficiently run sports entity in the entire world. You are not international......You are home grown.....That's why we love this game. Let this be a one time event......London has a lot of things to offer..........the NFL is just not one of them.
Talking about winning ugly...........how bad was Ely Manning and Vince Young? Both the Giants and the Titans won --- but despite the respective quarterbacks. Manning was a mere 8 for 22 with 59 yards. And Young? Well ......he was 6 for 14 and had 42 yards........Yuck!!!
We see that SMU has fired head coach Phil Bennett Sunday --- following a 29-23 loss at Tulsa. The Mustangs are 1-7 with four games remaining. For those of us in the older sect --- we remember the SMU of the 70's......with that "pony express" backfield.....a top ten program......and competing in the now defunct Southwest Conference. With the "Death Penalty" levied on the school.....SMU football has never been the same. They now play in a mid-major conference with just a shell of the following they once had..... So.....the solution.....fire the coach. SMU????? You have bigger issues....
I love it when........Sylvester Croom's Mississippi State squad upsets one of these "good 'ole boy network schools". The Bulldogs took it to Kentucky Saturday , 31-14. Croom is one of only 6............yes......six........black head coaches in the 119 division 1 schools. No SEC schools had the balls to hire a black coach.....except.....of all places....Mississippi!!!
Seems the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick are pissing off a lot of folks with that high powered offense. They are totally dominating opposing teams.....The Patriots are on pace to score over 600 points this season......obliterating the prev
ious record. They just laid 52 on the Washington Redskins.....and were very unapologetic about it. And Belichick said it best --- "My punting team punts......but my offense is in there to make plays". You go boy!!!!!!!!!!!!

You go boy!!!!!!!!!!!!And.....on a final note.......Our collective hats are donned for the Boston Redsox! You were the better team......you deserved the win. You swept .............'nough said.
