The Good, Bad, & Ugly since the SB

December 3, 2008

The Good
- Forte
- Not going for Derrick Anderson last season (I was wrong on that).
- Giving KO a chance this year.
- How the whole Briggs situation played out.
- Getting rid of Benson

The Bad
- The massive decline in Vashers skills this year
- A decade without a true #1 (Bookers one year was a fluke)
- Losing Chris Harris
- Fans who cried for Lovie to have a contract extension right after the SB.

The Ugly
- The over paying of Gould (Highest paid kicker of all time???)
- The re-upping of Urlarcher contract while his skills have diminished
- Lovie’s lack of adjustments & clock management.
- Lovie killing our playoff chances on 4th and goal IN THE 2ND Q, WTF!
- Bob Babich’s pass defense or lack there of.

The Average
- Olson? He’s no Witten.
- Hester, “Show me the money”.
- Wolfe, yay he makes tackles on special teams.
- Both O & D lines
- Hunter “I give 5 yard cushion on goalline plays” Hillenmeyer
- Turner, better then Shaye & Shoope.

NFL Network has ruined my sports acumen.

March 13, 2008

Last fall I was introduced to NFL Network and since then I’ve become a sports retard. There I’ve said it. Basically it comes down to this. I used to get my well rounded sports information from ESPN’s Spots Center. There I was able to keep tabs on Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey.

NFL Network “football 24/7″ is a beautiful thing my friend. Just days away from the final 4? NO WAY. Try 34 days from the draft I found myself watching Miami (who won only 1 game) vs. Washington Sunday night. Can’t get enough of NFL replay. That’s when NFL Network edits game film and slices a whole game into 60 minutes. Then add in post game interviews during the game. It’s awesome to hear what’s going on during key moments.

Also the Top 10 List shows are entertaining. Top 10 worst weather games, top 10 best running performances, top 10 worst teams of all time, etc… LOVE IT!

Just for grins I looked up NBA’s top scorers and I didn’t even know 8-11. Reed, Martin, Jefferson, and Bosh? Who the heck are those guys? It sounds like a law firm. OH MY NHL is even worse. I know ONE guy in the top 30 scorers. Man that’s sad. No Blackhawks in the top 30… no surprises there. Man I know more arena football players and more soccer players then hockey players.
