I would find it offensive what bluekarma wrote if it wasn't for the fact that the NFL has found it necessary for minority candidates has to be interviewed.Should't the owner decide who he should talked to. As a bear season ticketholder---- i thought dennis green would have been a better choice then lovie. i am happy that i was wrong. i am torn through between 12-4 in the nfc north or 9-7 in the afc east. who did saban have to work with. crap, crap i tell you.
Well, I must say, I'm a very happy Dolphins fan indeed, but they have promises to keep, and miles to go before they sleep. That little six-game streak to end the season was encouraging, but hardly inspirational when you consider the victims. Besides the schizophrenic Chargers, the Phins beat the Raiders, Bills, Jets, Titans, and the Patriots' second string. Not exactly a murderer's row. The upside is, Saban has seemingly changed the whole attitude of the franchise; when was the last time the team actually played well enough to win consistently in December? Plus, he got a great first-year-back out of Ricky Williams, which took a lot of pressure off of Ronnie Brown, and finally took advantage of Chris Chambers as a real offensive weapon. Still some holes to fill for next year, when the schedule will be a lot tougher, but they're headed in the right direction, and unlike the Wannstadt years, they've got a fair amount of draft picks (two years in a row with a first rounder, yippee!). Maybe Jay Cutler from Vandy comes in the draft to learn QB, maybe Drew Brees or Phillip Rivers from San Diego, some good offensive line picks, some reloading on the defensive side of the ball, who knows? They make the playoffs next year, I could see C.o.t.Y. for Saban. Win the division, I could see it a lot easier.
well said.
Come on Mike Nolan doubled the Niners win total from last year! sure, it was from 2 to 4 but...
Uh oh. That pounding sound you hear is RZA running to the keyboard. Thank you Cardinalfan that made my day.
Coach smith is very deserving of the award. Its nice to see Da bears out of the cellar.
Does anyone think that Belichick should have won the award? I mean come on. I know that the Patriots are the Super Bowl Champions, but look at what he has had to deal with all year. He had something like 11 or 12 players put on the injured reserve list and was still able to produce a team to be feared in the playoffs. Who really thought that the Patriots would even be in the playoffs (If it wasn't for their horrible division). I say that Belichick is Coach of the Year and the Patriots will be the only team to 3 Peat. (but maybe I am biased).
Belichick's an amazing coach, but he won't ever again get Coach of the Year just as Tom Brady won't ever get the MVP, and for the same reason: because at this point, given their past accomplishments, they're supposed to walk on water. Do anything less and they get dissed, but they won't get any special accolades just for keeping the miracles coming.
Whether you PC suckups like me or what I say, there are many who DO agree in whole or in part with what I post. Some of you that choose to criticize me for fear fo being thought of as racist or whatever, are the ones who didn't get attention as a child! You are the ones who are afraid to stand up and say what is obvious! You are the ones who run with the PC crowd in order to be accepted or liked for more than what you are! I am proud to post what i feel and think is correct. I am not here to make friends or be liked! And I STILL think it was PC that Lovee got the award. Personally, I think Saban did the best job because he turned his team around DURING the season and ended up with 6 straight wins! And with 2 average QB's! Some of you are not nearly as smart as you think! Just suckups..like I said.
actually Grum(what a dumb name) I got attention as a kid. I had many friends and still do. And you know why? Because I am honest and not a PC suckup like you. I have friends who like openmindedness. I choose my friends not based on thier acceptance of me or how I am like them, but if they are able to voice an opinion without fear. Unlike you, who probably does sit at home with one hand on the keyboard and the other.....
there are many who DO agree in whole or in part with what I post. Yes, but we tend to look at them the same way we look at you: with disdain and pity. I am proud to post what i feel and think is correct. As long as you don't cross the line into outright racism, go right ahead and post. Just don't be such a crybaby when someone takes offense to what you post, and shreds your "logic" like a cheese grater. actually Grum(what a dumb name) I got attention as a kid. Oh, good come back! I guess I hit a nerve. It's okay, bluekarma, I'm sure your "friends" will pat you on the back for being "honest". Then, when you finally get out of highschool, you'll realize that your shit won't go over to well in the real world.
there are many who DO agree in whole or in part with what I post. I keep seeing this claim from fringe posters, but none of their silent majority every show up.
I choose my friends not based on thier acceptance of me or how I am like them, but if they are able to voice an opinion without fear. bluekarma is a tiresome bigot. Are we friends now?
Shoulda been Tony Dungy! Whatta man!!
Lovie Smith deserved this. If he didn't I wouldn't say it. The job he did in St. Louis and now Chicago was second to none. I wish he could have had Martz's job.
Damm. I may have to reconsider my opinion on Nick Saben now.
STLCardinalfan, just embrace the fact that you had for a couple of years what the Patriots have had the past few years: a perfect storm. An offensive genius and a defensive genius on the same staff, with a head coach smart enough, tough enough, secure enough and personable enough to control the fusion, and talented, unselfish players who bought into the system 100%. You could go years without seeing that happen to your team. I'm a Dolphins fan, I know what I'm saying.
That is how I feel about the Pats. There's some discussion locally about whether fans appreciate just what we have here. Maybe it's the Irish Catholic in me, but if they win this year, I'm going to feel guilty, mainly because it's going to make it tough to enjoy just how good they should be next year.
You could go years without seeing that happen to your team. Example A: Detroit Lions
They should wait until the WHOLE season is over. How about Big Bill in Pittsburgh? Smith NEVER won a game that his team trailed by 10 at the half. Never!
An offensive genius and a defensive genius on the same staff, with a head coach smart enough, tough enough, secure enough and personable enough to control the fusion, and talented, unselfish players who bought into the system 100%. And a major melt down last night!
