Well, with the Pro Bowl bringing the official end to the NFL season.. what can you expect from this site now? Good question... How about some offseason football analysis, maybe even some baseball sprinkled in. Of course once March Madness starts, we'll keep an eye on that. And who knows, maybe I'll get around to writing that "God, the Knicks fucking SUCK!" piece one of these days... A couple quick football observations for now...
Did you watch the Pro Bowl? Me neither. Well, I had it on for a little while, kinda in the background. Saw the Manning TD pass to Harrison. Saw an interview with TO on the sideline. But these All Star games (in every sport I think) get less and less interesting every year. Nobody is playing hard. In sports like hockey (what's that?) and basketball, nobody plays defense. Nobody wants to get hurt. And a lot of the players who were supposed to be there don't even show up due to a mysterious injury. Like Shaun Alexander. He was selected for the NFC team, and might have even been named the starter. But he came up with some phantom injury and sat it out. Gee, I wonder if that had anything to do with his pending free agency and not wanting to risk even the slightest injury... Wuss...
Speaking of Alexander, the Seahawks are still trying to fill the executive jobs for the team, and good ol' Shaun mentioned in an interview that this is not helping his situation. Basically, he said he wants to get something done quickly, and if they're still doing interviews and stuff, then how can they focus on re-signing him? I guess he kind of has a point, but I think he's laying some more groundwork to bolt.
As for the Seattle front office.. they made a pitch to Patriots Vice President of player personnel, Scott Pioli. He turned down about $3 million a year to stay with the Pats at less than $1 million a year. Fucker. The Patriots also seem to have kept that db coach, Mangini, and promoted him to defensive coordinator. He also turned down deals from other teams worth more money. And with each additional thing that goes in favor of the Patriots, they become more and more hated.. I'm telling you, the backlash will begin soon, and people will tire of New England's dominance...
just commenting on the last paragraph: People have already begun to tire of NE's dominance, but not me. Three years ago, a boston sport fan (and teams) were such chumps - NOT TODAY my friend!
ReplyDeleteI think ppl are tired of NE's dominance, but at the same time, they really can't hate any of the players on the team..a la freddie mitchell types. Next year will be most difficult without Charlie Weis..I'm curious to see who they get
