Random Thoughts: Eli's Not Going To Like this, Yogi
Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Ralph Citarella:
I'm proud to live in a state where a local TV station dumps Eli Manning's favorite program for a day just to piss him offanger him. My God, have you no decency? Yeah, like Eli can't afford DVDs.- Tony Sparano is the new coach of the Miami Dolphins(also known as "next victim.") I'll leave the jokes to other people like Sports Frog. Meanwhile, Jason Garrett has been offered the head job in Baltimore. Of course, Jerry Jones may have something to say about it. Washington is talking with former Falcons coach Jim Mora Jr., but I have to think Gregg Williams gets this gig.
- Norm Chow, who just a year ago was hailed in his development of Vince Young, was suddenly dumped yesterday by Jeff Fisher and the Tennessee Titans. Why? Fish wants to bring back former offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger, who is currently with Denver. As it is, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan calls the plays and Dinger, as he likes to be called, would love to go back to the place where he helped win a lot of games in the early part of this decade. Heimerdinger replaced the great Les Steckle after the 2000 season only to leave a couple of years later for the New York Jets.
- Richard Dent is eligible for the football hall of fame. I'd hate to see him go the way of Ron Santo and Andre Dawson.
- It appears that Norv Turner is having the last laugh. Meanwhile, Tom Coughlin is suddenly cool with his players and the Walrus is considering saying koo kooachoo to the Seahawks.
- What a horrible day for Miguel Tajada yesterday. First, Congress wants to investigate him, then he finds out his brother was killed in a car accident.
- The Bears promote assistant coach Lloyd Lee to replace Hardy Nickerson as Chicago Bears linebackers coach. Pep Hamilton unavailable for comment. Who the hell are these guys and why are they coaching the Bears? Who's next? Jim Bob from the Pop Warner League?
- According to the four letter network (dot com), Scott Rolen is happy to be heading to Toronto. I never thought I would see the words "Scott Rolen" and "happy" in the same sentence, so it must be an improvement.
- Major Applewhite is most likely leaving Alabama for his alma mater Texas. Why? Because Nick Saban has him on a very short leash. While Applewhite is the offensive coordinator, he shares responsibilities with veteran coach Joe Pendry, who oversees a lot of the game planning and preparation. Applewhite wants to leave simply to get out of a hostile environment. Even though running backs coach is a lesser role, it still gets him out from under they tyrant that is Nick Saban. I made a similar move once and it jump started my career for a few years until I hit a brick wall.
- The Chicago minor league baseball team goes back to the future.
- Wouldn't it be funny if West Virginia hired Shaggy, Scooby, Velma, Freddie and Daphne to look for the lost WVU football files and they found them in Rick Rodriguez's steamer trunk? "And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids and your dog!" On a serious not, the question is if it was Rodriguez, would his motivation been to get even with WVU or to hide something that eventually the boys at the NCAA will want to know about?
- Some humor from EDSBS
- I'd almost vote for Rudy Giuliani based on this one act alone. That's what happens when you live in a blue state with only 11 electoral votes.
- Thirty years ago today, Captain Kirk, T.J. Hooker and Denny Crane made big fools of themselves:
