You're back! About time...now, let's get sta...YEAH! You're back! About time...now, let's get started: <BR/><BR/>Vick: You say "multiple weapons." I say "multiple personality disorder." He thinks we can't ask about why he doesn't win anymore? HAH! What's he won, exactly? Maybe the ATL football "fan" knows more than we gave (him? her?) credit for...<BR/><BR/>Giants: If Eli's last name wasn't "Manning," wouldn't everyone have this conversation with himself: "Hm. Nice arm, nice kid, but didn't we already see him before when his name was Elvis Grback?" <BR/><BR/>Panthers: Up and down teams always surprise in the playoffs. The question here is whether or not the coaching staff can outsmart Holmgren or...<BR/><BR/>Seahawks: Whether Holmgren will outsmart himself. And (and this is HUGE), the QB here is STILL Matt Hasselheadcasebeck...<BR/><BR/>Indy: Remember that comedian we saw at the Deja Vu who did the bit about people digging thru the passenger seat of their cars while driving? I think of that guy EVERY time I see Peyton Manning play. Lucky for the hoosier fans, this team doesn't have to go outside to play in the playoffs this year (if they don't want to). Does this mean that Dungy has to send Tagliabue a portion of his playoff check? Enquiring minds want to know. <BR/><BR/>Denver: I love this team. Talk about a powder keg, b/t Shannahan and Plummer...<BR/><BR/>Cinci: Did someone say "powder keg"? Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Carson Palmer...(have you noticed all the QBs I've listed are just nuts? Isn't there some kind of group therapy available to them while they're waiting to make their United Way commercials??) <BR/><BR/>Finally, Pittsburgh: Something's not right there...they've gotten away from dancing with who brought them (the running game), Big Ben has decided to stop doing all the things he did right last season (ie, make smart decisions with the ball, don't try to do too much, and let it flow/don't force the action), and the D just looks run down (Palamalu can't do it all himself -- not to mention dealing with the lingering after-effects of the SI cover jinx for the last three weeks...)<BR/><BR/>So, put it all in a blender and what do you get? Um...oh. Ew. <BR/><BR/>Indianapolis. <BR/><BR/>Ugh. <BR/><BR/>How long til baseball season? (Wait. This just in: Jocketty replaced Grudzelwhatever with two guys named Joe from Colorado. How long til hockey season?)(Wait. No new Blues ownership on the horizon.)<BR/> <BR/>No relief in sight. Merry freakin Xmas everyone :)TUCK!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06937932945508796108noreply@blogger.com
