Notes from the Ether
- Putting pen to paper...
- I am a big fan of Tommy Maddox, I think the guys got balls and talent. That said, why is it that he looks so old and inefficacious out
there? Well, maybe it is because he is old and looks like he doesn't really
like working out, he makes Jim Hart look like Frank Zane, and he's lost the Eye
of the Tiger...Tommy put the wrecking ball to the mistake of Kordell Slash Stewart and made everyone who got into Korky's Kamp face reality that he
flat out is not a pro QB. Now he should step aside and let the inevitable
happen.
- And since Tommy is looking like Sammy
Baugh, the old deranged junkyard dog Sammy Baugh, it's time for Big Ben Roth to
get behind center. Here's a guy who can lead this team, he's got all the tools
and skills to be a top flight NFL quarterback, if he can minimize mistakes and
concentrate on playing the game, you gotta let him
play the game...whoa, that sounded just like Joe Theisman.
HERE'S A GUY...
- I met Desi for
the game at Buffalo Wild Wings...if you own stock in the company that manages
this outfit, sell it, it's going to go the way of CBS News. Des called them and
asked if they were going to have the game, they told him sure. We got there,
asked them kindly and politely to put the game on one tv. Des asked them again, and again (they told him
they would), and again (because they didn't), and again...I drove an hour to
get there and the manager acted as if I was putting him out to just put the
damn game on one damn TV. They had ten tvs
with the Bearz/Packers and they gave us the excuse
that there is a limted number of games they can put
on. I won't be going to this place anymore, they just lost my business.
Restaurant employees...ya know, you end up working in
a restaurant, you must have made some poor decisions in your life, no offense, I've worked in enough restaurants to know.
- You know who looks REALLY good is Roy
Williams with Detroit, this guy has it all, good size, knowledge of how to use
his height, incredible hands and toughness, grace, body control...everything
that the Giraffico and his brother Charles Rogers
don't.
- Has there ever been a better bad guy than
Mr. T in Rocky III? I can remember watching that movie when it came out and Mr.
T scared the crap out of me. He looks like some sort of Star Wars monster...and
then they make him roar like a Lion in the rematch. Frightening.
"Hey boy, hey boy...aftah I crucify him, you�re
next...c'mon Creed...I�m the Champ, I�ll beat you like I did last time...that
right hand is just like a triphammer!" Classic
stuff...Rocky comes back, getting hit by huge telegraphed fake punches...was it
a coincidence Rocky�s get up in the first fight with
Clubber was all Black and Gold? When I was young, I thought Rocky was real,
cheered like mad for Rocky...it�s too bad that they don�t make heroic movies
like that anymore...the result of post-modernist thought in the minds of a few
jackasses who run Hollywood...
- My vote for season Hard Hat already is
Big Casey. More frightening at the point of attack than Mr.
T. And he's got the most thankless job on the whole damn team...you have
the goofball candy cane Plax being more concerned with play acting pass
interference than making the grab and then you have the guy who is in the
middle of the interior line going hand to hand, double and triple teamed going
until he is totally exhausted...and then he runs down an RB sideline to
sideline. He should be the damn team MVP. SMitty can
get sacks and Joey can get pressure when Casey busts his butt and takes on
extra blockers.
- I was offered last week Warrick Dunn and Emmitt for Deuce McAllister...Deuce got me a big ol' -1.95 pts today...FFL causes me endless head shaking.
