Phearless Phred’s Deranged Comments Regarding Week 7 of the NFL Season
The RANTS are very brief this week as family issues got in the way, but a couple of items I could not let pass.
BUNGLES NO MORE
The Bengals are for real and “exposed” the Bears for the overrated group they are. As a matter of fact, the charge is “indecent exposure.” Cutler with 2 more interceptions and Forte 2 more fumbles and 24 yards. Cincinnati 45 – Chicago 10
COWGIRLS
Miles Austin is apparently Teflon coated.
COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE
Oakland came back to earth and it was no soft-landing. It was more like crash and burn. The Jets piled it on 38 – Zip. Rumor has it that L.A., who has plans to build a new stadium, are considering asking the Raiders to come back. One can only presume that the smog has affected their collective brains. We are told that the entire Bay area has volunteered to help them pack.
MISTER FAVRE
Bret Favre has earned the Ironman Award for consecutive starts and is a cinch 1st ballot Hall of Famer, but that doesn’t make him the best QB that ever graced the gridiron, or God. ENOUGH!
There is no truth to the rumor that the NFL is proposing to change its name to the National Favre League.
FINALLY
The Washington Redskins have brought suit and gotten judgments against fans who find they cannot fulfill their contracts regarding season tickets. Times are tough and you’d think coming from Washington DC they’d be more aware of it than most. Dave Donovan COO of the Skins is also blaming the Washington Post and negative articles for the “lag” in fan support and the team has even received permission to ban all fan signs including some shirts from being displayed at the games. Curiously most of these signs and shirts are critical of Donovan and owner Dan Snyder. Imagine that. How about putting a team on the field that is not an embarrassment to the fans and the league? No wonder the Native Americans want the team name changed.
