Random Thoughts: Rex May Just Be Tip Of Inept Offensive Iceberg
Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Mike Devereaux:
- Just wondering. Now that everyone got their wish and Rex's fanny is riding the pine, who gets the boos on Sunday if balls aren't caught or the pathetic running game can't roll up some yards? Who is on the clock now, Bears fans, Cedric Benson? Bernard Berrien? Ron Turner? Just because Rex isn't in the picture, doesn't mean there aren't others at fault or that suddenly, the clouds will lift, the birds will sing and the warm sunshine of success will shine down on everyone's face. In fact, I'm willing to wager that the failures of others led to the breakdown of Grossman. Without his teammates making plays, he took the flak. Don;t get me wrong, I still think Rex is not a very good quarterback and probably deserves to sit, but let's face it, some of this even he didn't bring on himself.
- Jon Garland wins in his final start in a White Sox uniform and the Sox crawl out of the basement again. A win today would seal the fourth place deal, giving the Sox a two game lead over the Royals with three to play. Lance "I hear the neon lights are bright on" Broadway gets the start for the Sox.
- The Milwaukee Brewers should be ashamed of themselves. Knowing the Cubs lost to the Marlins, the Brewers lay an egg and remain two behind the Cubs with four to play. It doesn't matter to Milwaukee manager Ned Yost, who received a vote of confidence from his boss yesterday.
- Detroit Tigers, thanks for playing, here's a lovely version of the home game and a year's supply of rice a roni, the San Francisco treat.
- Chicago Blackhawk owner Bill Wirtz, who died on Wednesday, really did set his team and hockey back a few decades, so says our hero and role model. And he should know. He came to Chicago as a hockey writer.
- More on the death of Wirtz from a man who must have possessed compromising photographs and addressed Wirtz as "meal ticket."
- Hey! Major League Baseball actually does something about an umpire with an attitude. Phil Cuzzi reported cowering in the umpires locker room behind a bucket of Mississippi mud.
- (Stealing a line form our hero and role model) Death is not an option: Which is more self destructive and reckless: O.J.'s botched burglary or Michael Vick and his failed drug test? Michael Vick, just how dumb are you, anyway?
- My pick for the first canceled show of 2007. I haven't even seen it yet, but I just can't believe it will be any good. I was entertained last night by "Dirty, Sexy, Money." Peter Krause is always in good shows.
- Just think. Soon, I will live in a town with a ten foot Fonzie. I wonder if they will put a chesse head hat on him?
- Hair should not be a reason for exclusion.
- At least a half dozen middle school kids in Bergan County New Jersey get busted,, driven to school in squad cars and had their parents caled because they were jaywalking. I gues all the other crimes have been solved.
- Bill O'Reilly claims he is being smeared for comments attributed to him regarding his dinner at a restaurant in Harlem. As we used to say on the playground, Bill "You can dish it out, but you can''t take it."
- The Senate is seriously considering making your internet fees increase by almost 20%. I'd call my senator, but I live in Wisconsin and I'm sure Fiengold is leading the charge for the tax (or any tax for that matter) and that Herb Kohl thinks the internet is the big six lane road that gets him to Madison.
- Bill Clinton is threatening a Greenwich Village restaurant owner to remove the picture of his daughter Chelsea he has on the wall of his restaurant or risk a law suit. The former President hasn't been this angry since a secret service agent ate his last French fry.
