the funny thing is that he sucked & the franchise has been better since he left -- it's like being a jilted lover over rosie o donnell

i guess the sports guy version would be "it would be like being a jilted lover over a girl that has mosquito bites for tits"

Well, except for the Cam Cameron year.

Some guys just don't need to be head coaches. He seems to be cooking in Baltimore, like Gregg Williams is doing just fine in New Orleans, like Josh McDaniels is likely to do somewhere next season.

Not surprising.

really don't understand why so many people think being a good college coach and being a good nfl coach have anything to do with one another

jimmy johnson/dallas.

every fanbase seems to hate its team's coordinators, but 'our offensive playcalling is incredibly predictable' seems to have been one of the major themes for the ravens this year

here we go:

Which, sure, except that Favre is already gone, and has been for some time. There's plenty to mourn about his departure, because he used to be fun and because he'll be replaced by narcissists of a crueler and more corporate cast—think of Tom Brady's joyless tuff-model mug, or Tim Tebow's blissful, boring evangelical boilerplate. Favre did indeed hang on too long, but not in the sense of no longer being able to make the throws or take the hits anymore. His mistake was getting high on his own supply, and sticking around long enough to disappear into his own misty mythos. Celebrity hollowed him out, as it does, and what's left of his old roguish joy now feels false and overdetermined; his press conferences may well be honest, but they are also claustrophobic—weird, rambling tours of the ornate, echoing ego-Xanadu in which he lives. He can't go away any more than Lindsay Lohan can, because there is an industry that depends on him, from which he also draws a sizable paycheck. But the better Favre—the one who really was Like A Kid Out There, as opposed to the one who merely regressed to childishness by overindulgence and self-addiction—is a long time and a long way gone.

It's not even a no-spin zone. The spin is fucking DEAD.

re: Saban, I was bitter for a year or so, but yea the moment the Sparano era started, it's like why dwell on it?

Fins fans also forget that Saban's first year as a Fins head coach, he churned out a 9-7 season with castoffs (granted with a really really really weak schedule). I used to post on a big Fins message board and the lionizing of Saban was at comical levels -- people did the annoying 'Chuck Norris'-isms stuff with Saban, talked about him as if he were a X-Men-esque superhero, and were talking about how we'd be hoisting the Super Bowl trophy in a few years.

On the evening he announced he was leaving, the message board's tone changed to "he was always an awful coach". Even the sportswriters were guilty of it too though -- Pete Prisco never thought Saban was a God, but was quoted as saying he could "flat out coach" after one of Miami's wins in the 2005 campaign. Then writes an article saying he doesn't know why Miami fans are sad because he was a lousy coach.

In truth, the 9-7 was more an aberration and a lucky circumstance, Saban showed his true tentative colors as an NFL coach in 2006, but some Fins fans have never let go of it, even though we at most have a handful of players even left from that era.

Frustrating as this season's been, 2006 with Culpepper/Harrington was much worse.

Bitch, it cold outside!!! BURR (San Te), Monday, 27 December 2010 17:36 (thirteen years ago) link

well, i still hate him.

Daniel, Esq., Monday, 27 December 2010 17:39 (thirteen years ago) link

I do still love it when he loses due to the dour look on his face when it happens.

"We've become a nation of wusses. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything," Rendell added. "If this was in China do you think the Chinese would have called off the game? People would have been marching down to the stadium, they would have walked and they would have been doing calculus on the way down."

ice cr?m, Monday, 27 December 2010 23:08 (thirteen years ago) link

if this was China you wouldn't be speaking to the press so do us all a favor and STFU

Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Monday, 27 December 2010 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link

ugh

why do we always hear from the people we least want to hear the opinions of?

Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Monday, 27 December 2010 23:12 (thirteen years ago) link

he should start walking everywhere while doing calculus - ur either part of the problem or part of the solution

ice cr?m, Monday, 27 December 2010 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link

or move to china

johnny crunch, Monday, 27 December 2010 23:17 (thirteen years ago) link

I like to imagine a parallel world where the Chinese governor goes on sports talk radio to complain about the shutting down of a Chinese football game and says AMERICANS WOULD NEVER DO THIS.
AMERICANS WOULD BOMB THE SHIT OUT THE CITY BEFORE THEY LET THIS HAPPEN. AND THEY WOULD DO IT WHILE EATING A HAMBURGER.
