Tis the season..


First I want to thank all of you for the birthday wish. I cannot believe that I am 42 and I hope to live another 420 years. I hope that my writing style will improve and that I will attract more readers to my blog. With that being said, let us move on to a better and happy 2010.
Tis the season when every arm chair quarterback sits at home and evaluates their teams and comes up with solutions that either makes sense or shocks the world. To no one's surprise Jim Zorn was fired today by the Redskins. The Buffalo Bills cleaned out its coaching staff, the Gutless Giants fired their defensive coordinator and more moves coming. Other teams contemplating moves are Jacksonville, Chicago, Cleveland Tampa Bay, and Houston. Jeff Fisher is the longest tenured coach in the NFL. Andy Reid of the Eagles is the second longest tenured coach in the league. Fisher's team for a while was the biggest loser of the season but found a way to get a .500 record. Many people think that he has been in Tennessee too long and that a change may be necessary because he has only one super bowl appearance in his tenure and he was reluctant to start Vince Young whilst the team was on a 6 game losing streak. The owner actually demanded that Young play and the team went 8-2 with him at the helm. The two losses were to San Diego and Indianapolis, the two teams with the best records in the conference. Jeff Fisher has been great as a coach. I think that he will get one more year and if they do not win anything, he will be fired. This day is like the end of the baseball season's last day. It is a day where you don't care about anything other than finding out who got fired and who is being allowed one more year.
Yesterday, most people clammed up about resting players after 5 very important players suffered injuries. Wes Welker of the Patriots may be done for two years. The three Arizona Cardinals players are still waiting for results and Chad Ochocinco and Charles Woodson declare that they will play no matter what. The Colts are still a mystery to me. It was snowing like crazy in Buffalo yesterday and played their players in the snow. You are more likely to get injured playing in those conditions than any others not to mention what if someone gets the flu? The said that they did not care about individual accomplishments but kept Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark in the game to catch their 100th receptions of the season. I am really rooting for the Chargers and the Saints to make it to the big game. Drew Brees was drafted by the Chargers and went to the Saints so the Phillip Rivers could have his chance. Reggie Bush is from San Diego so playing against his home town team would be cool. The Jets surprised me yesterday. The Cowboys did too. I remember the last time the Jets played the Bengals in the playoffs. Didn't Freeman Mcneil run for 200 plus yards in a Jets victory? Mark Sanchez is probably wondering "what is wrong with this picture". He is the only quarterback playing in this years playoff with no experience. Romo's only appearance didn't he drop the field goal attempt and Seattle won? The ball was too slick I think they said. The Eagles really did not show up yesterday. I just cant believe that the Giants went from 5-0 to 8-8 in a blink of an eye. If they did not win the Super Bowl a few years ago they would have fired Coughlin. Everyone has injuries. Very disappointed. Anyways, just warming up today. Tomorrow will be back with more vim and vigor..
