NFL Too Greedy
Are you kidding me with the Giants wearing the red uniforms today? This is the biggest game the Giants have played in years. Against the Cowboys and their ex-coach. This was a day for Big Blue. Save the merchandizing concerns for October games against the Cardinals.
Why didn't I put my feelings for Amani Toomer about six weeks ago in print? I picked him up in my biggest league (a 14-teamer) off waivers. A "Buy" in my sydnicated column would have been nice. I was scared off by my over-enthusiasm in the first month for Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress who has, somewhat predictably, been replaced by Jeremy Shockey as Eli's favorite receiver.
I just found out tha Matthew Sweet released an album that reunited his "Girlfriend" band only in Japan after cutting 13 new songs in a week. I realize I'm about one of five people in this country who follow Matthew Sweet semi-closely, which is a shame because he's unfairly neglected like his 1970s inspiration, Big Star. The album rocks, by the way if you dig guitar rock and great harmonizing. "Kimi Ga Suki," on iTunes. Released in 2002? Man, I missed the boat there.
What's Jeff Feagles doing with the Super Bowl-winning hystrionics after having a punt downed at the one? I guess that's as good as you can get when you're a punter, but punting is a defeat in and of itself. So pipe down. I've heard too much from him the last two weeks, with his consecutive games streak (that makes a mockery of such streaks, as punters aren't football players).
Roethlisberger just hit a long completion on first-down. Throw more on first down, coaches! Especially you, Cowher. I want some team to hire the coach from Texas Tech, Michael Leach. He spreads his offensive lineman three-to-six feet apart to create throwing lanes and attacks, attacks, attacks with five WRs. When the defense starts dropping 11 guys into coverage, he runs. That's the way to play football. Think outside of the box. Read Michael Lewis' excellent profile in today's Sunday Times magazine, which I think is free on the Times website.
