Its been awhile since I posted an Observation Deck… Been busy with the Holidays and the NFL season and all but I have have a few things I need to get off my chest.
Mark McGwire’s mea culpa– Spare us the waterworks big guy, this wasn’t earthshattering news to anyone…. And while you’re at it, please quit insulting our intelligence with this crap about the roids not helping your strength and it was only to keep you healthy for 162 games. Puhlease…. just say you took the juice to help all your warning-track flyballs go into the stands and be done with it…
Jose Offerman – Did you see this guy punch an umpire this weekend? Hey, I played a lot of ball and I know some umpires can be the biggest a-holes, but c’mon Jose… and this isn’t the first time he’s gone off on someone; didn’t he swing a bat at somebody a few years ago too? Do we have a little anger problem?
Lane Kiffin- Hey, I don’t always agree with Al Davis, but perhaps he’s right about this Lane Kiffin character. What a smug punk this guy turned out to be and Tennessee probably doesn’t know it now, but they’ll be better off in the long run without this fraud. I mean other than his association with Pete Carroll and being Monte Kiffin’s son, what has this guy accomplished?? He’s just another self-centered coach looking for his next gig and will say and do anything to get it.. He should now be added to the Mount Rushmore of sleazy college coaches who slinked out of town to their next job along with Bobby Petrino, Nick Saban and Rich Rodriguez…..
NFL Playoffs – Other than San Diego’s gag job, the rest didn’t hurt the other bye teams, did it? I don’t know if San Diego was rusty or they just choked like they have so many times before? I do know that Norv Turner went brain dead at the end and the kicker could barely breathe, he was gagging so much…. Now we have to endure another week of that human-pelican-chin Rex Ryan tell us how nobody wanted to see them in AFC title game…at least he’s right about that!
…and as much as I’d like to blame Tony Romo for that abortion against the Vikings, I can’t. His offensive line, that was supposed to be this great O-line, got smoked pure and simple and Romo was running for his life on every play… Funny but we’ve been told the last few years how great Dallas’ and San Diego’s talent was, but they never seem to win anything, why is that?
And while I would’ve loved to see Indy lose because I can’t stand Bill Polian, at least they knocked out the insufferable Ray Lewis and the Ravens.. I for one, wouldn’t be able to stomach all the superbowl hype about Ray Ray and his pregame dancing and promoting, not to mention his goofy post-game press conference hats… and speaking of the Ravens, have you ever seen a coach whine about calls as much as Harbaugh? Sure coach, the refs are out to get you, sure…
I think New Orleans is the team to beat and I am shamelessly on their bandwagon and hoping they prevent Manning, Fat Rex or Brett Fart from hoisting the Lombardi…please feel free to join me.
