I will be cheering the hell out of the Giants for the next two weeks, right up until the Patriots score 21 points in the first 3 minutes. At that point I will turn off the TV, go outside and take a walk through the park.

Double-post, sure, but let me ask y'all this:

If you were a football coach, what are the odds you'd take a job with my personal favorite team, the Chargers? Let's see - last year they finished with the best record in the AFC and the head coach got the hook. This year, they played in the AFC championship, and they fired two coaches. The WRs coach? Gone. And, the guy who coached 'em up to having the rushing title this year (RBs coach)? Also gone. Jesus. WTF?

Coffee's for closers, motherfucker.

Looking back on that game, Nab, I'm astonished at how safely it was coached... now granted, their offensive key players were mangled but... you can't win friends with salad and you can't beat the Patriots with field goals.

I have to assume that those were the calls of the offensive coordinator and headcoach, though.

Perfect storm in an imperfect world. Definitely not the fault of the positional coaches, though.

Yeah. I'd say that was an example of throwing a couple guys under the bus. Those guys called zero plays and coached the shit out of some great players. If Michael Turner isn't starting for another team next year I will be stunned.

The writing at Fire Joe Morgan can be pretty hit or miss (like any time they use the woefully pointless WHIP to back up their arguments about a pitcher), but they hit the nail right on the head with this latest response to Woody Paige's mind-boggling column on Brett Favre. Holy fuck is that thing a trainwreck.

Gregg Easterbrook went off on this, as I expected him to.  The Chargers punted three times in Patriots' territory, most gallingly at the Pats' 36, 4th and 10, down 9 with 9:36 to go.  Yeah, 4th and 10 is rough, but WTF.

Also, Hitler is a Cowboys fan.

Oh I was hell of screaming at the TV on those punts, believe me. "How many more fuck*ng games are there if you don't win this one, assholes?"

I have just passed this one along to a Mets message board filled with Giants fans.

I am sure they will love it.

Did everyone see the Dallas-Giants yawn remix? I can't find it presently.

I saw that on a blog somewhere a while ago. It was directly after the game where Rivers came and sat down next to him and he got right up. Of course, it would be better if he was wearing the helmet w/visor and the heavy coat.*
