NFL Thoughts

  • I don't know who started the fight, but the Joey Porter/William Green fight is typical of Bill Cowher's Steelers. His teams are always obnoxious and become unfocused when things don't go their way.
  • Why is Suzy Kolber on the sideline for ESPN games? She never provides info about injuries nor about what coaches and players are saying on the sidelines. She apparently researches before games and adds some information to telecasts, but she could be doing the same thing from Joe Namath's house.
  • I despise ESPN's NFL coverage (more on that later)
  • I love reading the NY Papers after the Jets and Giants lose badly.
  • Drew Bledsoe seems to be a good person. That's about all he has going for him.
  • It was nice to see Drew throw it to Troy Brown. Maybe the Bills' future opponents should sign Ben Coates and Shawn Jefferson to play corner against Drew.
  • The only thing Troy Brown did after his interception was smile like a little kid on a playground. No taunting, no dancing, no posing. You can tell he simply loves playing football.
  • Okay, I admit it. I worship Troy Brown. He makes the Pats as a special teamer, he was a successful slot receiver, he's possibly the biggest reason the Pats make it to the 2002 Super Bowl, he has great seasons as a number one receiver, and now with some injury problems, he does whatever Belichick asks him to do.
  • Lovie Smith looks like a good coach (I was thinking the same thing about Marvin Lewis a year ago)
  • I don't know if this Gibbs guy can make it in DC
  • Hopefully ABC will get the cameras off Parcell a few times tonight, so we can see some plays.
