Dungy To Colts: I Can’t Quit You

By oddJoe ⋅ January 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Let me get this straight, Jerry Jones (aka Ghost Face) can’t promise Wade Phillips’ job to Jason Garrett when he decides to fire Tubby McFatso, but Jim Irsay can promise Jim Caldwell the head coaching job in Indianapolis when Tony Dungy decides to leave? Okay, that seems fair and equitable.
Unfortunately for Caldwell, though, Dungy decided […]

Lord I Love Playoff Football: AFC Championship Edition

By oddJoe ⋅ January 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

End zone: the area on either end of an American football field. See also: a place on the field the Chargers never saw in Foxboro.
No LT meant no win for San Diego yesterday in the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots. Four times the Bolts got into position to reach the promised land but […]

Lord I Love Playoff Football: NFC Championship Edition

By oddJoe ⋅ January 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Freezing temperatures. Lambeau Field. A championship title on the line. Sounds like the making of a great movie about Vince Lombardi, but the tale told last night in Green Bay didn’t have the feel-good ending the Packer fans huddled for warmth wanted to see.
In a 23-20 overtime loss, Brett Favre threw two interceptions, including a […]

Thrashers Skip Game, Sabres Finally Win

By oddJoe ⋅ January 19, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Buffalo Sabres snapped a 10-game losing streak last night with a 10-1 victory in Atlanta. Surprisingly, even thought the Thrashers failed to take the ice (I hear the team bus was stuck in traffic somewhere) Buffalo managed to blow the shutout. At least they got the ‘W’ though. Now if only they can find […]

Anyone here ever heard of John Harbaugh?

Jason Garrett Is A Genius

By oddJoe ⋅ January 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

What a smart young man Jason Garrett is. Yesterday he officially pulled out of consideration for the open head coaching jobs in Baltimore and Atlanta, deciding instead to remain with the Cowboys as offensive coordinator.
“I think maybe this decision to stay here has a lot more to do with the Dallas Cowboys in 2007 and […]

No Place Like London (Unless The Dolphins Are In Town)

By oddJoe ⋅ January 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The National Football League is convinced that Brits or Americans traveling/living abroad really want to see some American football played in London, so they are scheduling another international game at Wembley Stadium next season.
Hopefully this time around they can schedule the game when it isn’t pouring buckets down on the pitch at Wembley. (There has […]

Getting Their Crazy On Up In Packerland

By oddJoe ⋅ January 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

We all know the cheeseheads up there in Dairyland are all a little off — I mean Ed Gein wasn’t exactly normal now was he? — but add in a little Packermania and you have yourself a recipe for real dysfunctional behavior.
Mathew Kowald, avowed Packer fan #1, settled in to watch Green Bay take on […]

Tony Sparano Gets First And Last Head Coaching Job

By oddJoe ⋅ January 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s face it, coaching the Miami Dolphins back from the dead isn’t going to be easy and it probably isn’t going to be accomplished by one person. Bill Parcell’s second or third coach — yes, we’re talking three to five years at least — might get it right and lead the Fins to the playoffs, […]
