Ditka has Short Fuse, Long Memory
Random thoughts while wondering what ever happened to Dave Stegman:
Get Over it Dept.: Chicago icon Mike Ditka is embroiled in a mini-controversy this week. "Da Coach" refuses to take sides in the battle between the Bears and the Saints on Sunday. Why? Apparently because he's still mad at everybody. Ditka better watch himself before his career goes down the drain. Ooops, too late.
Simon Would Hate It Dept.: These guys have written a Bears fight song. It's makes "Super Bowl Shuffle" sound like Gershwin.
Captain Obvious Dept.: Apparently someone has finally figured out what Bear fans have know all season. The bigger question is, how do you fix it?
Patience is Prudence Dept.: Although Marty Shottenheimer didn't perform up to the expectations of his superiors, he keeps his job as Coach of the Chargers. However, in an effort to advance in the playoffs next season, Schottenheimer has agreed to the provision in his contract that should the Chargers qualify next season, he will step aside at the beginning of the playoffs and allow Bill Walsh to coach the team. This way, someone who has actually had some success in the playoffs will be in charge.
Mirror, Mirror Dept.: Meet Mitch Mustain, the next Ryan Leaf. This kid clearly had the silver spoon inserted in the wrong end.
Bam Bam Dept.: You can't blame him, the man owns three restaurants in New Orleans. That's why Chef Emeril is supplying his audience with anti-Bear recipes. Perhaps that's why the Bears need to KICK IT UP ANOTHER NOTCH.
We Don't Need No Stinkin' Talent Dept.: Speaking of food TV, the foodies are all abuzz because Rachel Ray got her daytime talk show extended through 2010. That's going to buy a lot of EVOO. Rachel is a pariah among many foodies because she is not a trained chef. Martha Stewart has made Rachel is a pariah because up until Martha's time in stir, she was living Rachel's life.
Whine List Dept. Part I: It appears that the President of the Spanish soccer team that called out David Beckham is quickly becoming the Jerry Reinsdorf of Spain.
Whine List Dept. Part II: A lot of people have taken issue with the Georgia congressman who refused to vote in the affirmative on a resolution to congratulate Florida for winning the BCS Championship. Okay, let me get this straight. We've got soldiers getting shot at in Iraq, gas is still over $2 a gallon, you take almost 15% of my paycheck each week, the roads suck, and thousands swarm undetected across our boarders everyday and you ass clowns are busy patting some college football team on the back. I'm sure this is exactly what Thomas Jefferson had in mind.
Whine List Dept. Part III: Looks like Dr. Burke has more than an injured hand; now he has to watch his back. Proof again that success makes blow hards of us all.
Thanks Dad Dept.: The difference between Paul Sorvino and me is that I would have pulled the triggerr. I love how every media outlet mentions that he was in "Goodfellas" and not "Law & Order." In fact, Paul Sorvino has been in a lot of productions from "Moonlighting" to "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Of course, he had a gun, so he must be a gangster. Yup, no media bias there.
Paul, I think you are a good father and you did what any testosterone driven male would have done for his daughter. Nicely played, sir.
Why Do You Think They Call It Dope Dept.: Meet Michael Vick, Quarterback and alleged drug smuggler. Most likely, newly minted head (shop) coach Bobby Petrino is ready to run screaming back to Louisville right now. I can just hear Arthur Blank now,"Coach, we neglected to mention to you during the hiring process that your Quarterback likes to puff the herb a little bit."
Meanwhile, in the waiting room at the Dolphins complex, a vindicated Jim Mora Jr. shouts "I knew it wasn't me!"
How stupid and full of themselves must a celebrity be to attempt to make it through an airport crawling with federal and local security agents carying a water bottle (allegedly) hiding marijuana? Michael, give Stacy Keach a call some time, it will scare you straight.
Paint Your Wagon Dept.: I have no doubt that these guys have read the writing on the wall.
