Things We Learned...From the Week-end

In this small southern college town...it is a gray January day.  Kind of dreary looking outside.

But...we are wiser...cuz this is what we  learned over the week-end.


Well...we still don't know what a "catch"...is:
 

NFL Rules Made Cowboys' Amazing Catch Actually Not A Catch

 

 

 

 

The Hawks are rapidly becoming ..."The Beast of the East:

The Wizards commit 20 turnovers and see their three-game winning streak come to an end in Atlanta.

• Box score: Hawks 120, Wizards 89

 

 

 Rex Ryan...can get a new job....real fast!

 

HIRED

These NFL Play-off games....were the the best entertainment on TV:

 

COLTS 24, BRONCOS 13

Colts will face Patriots for Super Bowl berth

Indianapolis defeated Peyton Manning and the Broncos Sunday to advance in the NFL playoffs. 

PACKERS 26, COWBOYS 21

Packers hold off Cowboys to advance to NFC Championship

The Seahawks will host the Packers in the conference title game next Sunday. 

• The rule behind Dez Bryant’s overturned catch

Bettor’s edge

Overturned catch was robbery in a few ways

The Cowboys didn’t get a chance to get past the over-under number, which was at 52½. 

Seahawks clicking as they enter NFC title game

Seattle is the first defending Super Bowl champion to win a playoff game since New England in January 2006. 

Farewell.....to a Good Man

Jim Caldwell.....we hardly knew you.

You inherited a team built by the great Tony Dungee...You had the best quarterback of the century in Payton Manning.

Manning gets hurt.......misses the entire season....losses pile up.

And today ....you're out of a job.   Such is such....in the brutal NFL.

From the Indianapolis Star:

He is.......Indeed.....A Good Man...& a Heck of Coach

Anthony Kevin "Tony" Dungy..........

Was an NFL football coach who happened to be of the African American descent. Mr. Dungy retired this week as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.

He has won it all..........as in a "Super Bowl"........He has led his teams to 10 consecutive play-off appearances......

He has been fired........(Tampa Bay)........Has had a son commit suicide............

And through it all..........Anthony Kevin........remained the unassuming master mind of the football Gods.......

Anthony Kevin did not yell and scream. Anthony Kevin did not posture for cameras.......Anthony Kevin never used the media for his gain.......

For Anthony Kevin..........was comfortable ....just being ....himself..........a football coach.

Knowledgeable.......Likable.......a teacher.......one who delegated and built staffs around him...

Anthony Kevin.......you will be missed.

Anthony Kevin, you gave all of us non-assuming persons..........hope.

Anthony Kevin...........you led by example.....and that we commend you........we respect you....we honor you.

Anthony Kevin "Tony" Dungy..............

We thank you for being not only a great coach..........but a "good man"........
