Random Thoughts: Because I'm The Coach And I Said So
Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Kelly Wunsch:
- Lovie Smith will not endorse a starter for Sunday's gameagainst the Fudge Packers. Look, genius, the only thing you need to know about quarterback and this game is that the Elderly Hillbilly plays for the other team.
- Bill Parcells is actually considering an opportunity of joining the Falcons in a non-coaching role. It must be all those Home Depot gift cards he'll get.
- Drafting a player from China doesn't have to have an impact on wins and losses, as long as it feeds the bottom line.
- Todd Bertuzzi keeps singing the song that Marc Crawford MADE him go out and cheap shot Steve Moore. Even if Crawford had, it doesn't excuse the responsibility that Bertuzzi has in at least not killing the guy. Meanwhile, the NHL sentences another goon to a long stint in the penalty box. Given prior acts by Chris Simon, I don't think anyone will complain.
- Sean Taylor gets voted to the NFC pro bowl team. I'm not sure how much PT he'll get.
- Bill Stewart gets the nod to act as interim head coach at West Virginia. Meanwhile, the old coach, Rich Rodriguez, is the subject of a very thoughtfully worded letter in the New York Times (via Loser with Socks.)
- Oklahoma may have met Va. Tech in the Orange bowl if the schools and conferences could have worked out a deal that made everyone happy. It's really sad when the best matchups are precluded by the best paychecks, but without a playoff system, what's a college football fan to do?
- Roy Williams appeals his suspension for his horse collar tackle of Donovan McNabb. For crying out loud, Roy, only Mr. Ed has more horse collars than you do. Take the penalty like a man and move on.
- You knew this was going to happen the minute it did: Race track security guard making ten dollars an hour seeks NASCAR driver to push him, thus causing pain, suffering and professional embarrassment so as to cause a large monetarily settlement. Prefer top 12 driver. Dave Blaney need not apply.
- Twelve Cowboys make the NFC pro-bowl squad while only four Green Bay Fudge Packers do. That's the same amount as the Bears had make the team this year.
- Every time Pete Rose opens his mouth, he just makes himself look worse and worse and worse. Judge not lest ye be judged, Charlie Hustle.
- Breaking News: Roger Clemens denies taking steroids. More Breaking News: Dick Chaney denies heart problem.
- From Bugs & Cranks: Some omitted facts from the Mitchell report.
- On the food front, there was an outstanding article in the New York Times about the food channel that has a lot of people talking. The takeaways were that Emeril was let go because of the cost of producing the show (which I said at the time) and because now the Food Network wants to get their hooks into all merchandising done by the Chefs. Their attitude is "we made you, you need to share with us." Certainly, Emeril is not going to share and should have been grandfathered. I think they are positioning themselves to get rid of any Chef who wants to own his own brand (like Emeril and Mario.) Meanwhile, Rachael Ray, who has nothing to lose and already has a marketing partnership with the Food Network (which was probably in her original contract) has signed a new deal. Thanks to TV Food Fan and Food Network Addict for originally publishing the links.
