It's
kind of sad sitting here in the DC metropolitan area listening to
all these radio jockeys blaming the demise of the Redskins on Dapper
Dan.
Hey I'm no skins fan but all you people who are ripping Dan now
are the same ones who were talking that superbowl nonsense this
summer. The fact of the matter is Dan Snyder is only partially responsible
for the meltdown because of some of the personnel decisions he made,
but he can't make Deion tackle, he can't make any of the 100 kickers
that have come through the team make a field goal. I mean come on
DC lets put the blame where it belongs. Squarely on the shoulders
of the players...
Is it so hard to find a reliable kicker in the NFL? I mean instead
of recycling these guys who are waived by other teams why not find
some of these soccer players or undrafted guys. And what's up with
the injury bug on kickers this season? I can't remember a season
where so many top kickers have missed games due to injury...
Wow how about the Pro Bull err Bowl selections. While it's hard
to argue some of them, I can't understand Eric Moulds over Rod Smith.
Not at all. Another snub I can't get over is Mike Anderson not making
it. I know Cris Carter is breaking records and all but does he deserve
it more than say Joe Horn, based on this season alone? Then I don't
how Peyton Manning makes it and Elvis Grbac doesn't. Look at the
numbers they are surprisingly close. I'm sure there are some other
snubs on the list but those stand out the most to me. I'm not saying
the guys chosen don't deserve it but this is starting to reek of
the Florida Presidential elections....
Should a guy who misses 4 or 5 games even be considered for the
Pro Bowl? If so, and it does look that way, where the heck is Fred
Taylor?...
I'd also like to see this injury reporting process cleaned up a
bit. I'm sure that we all have been burned this season by the famous
"gametime decision". We may not get any recognition from the players
or the NFL but us Fantasy ballers are the ones who make this sport
so popular. And in turn I'd like the league to make some improvements
on our behalf. All stadiums should have a scoreboard dedicated to
fantasy stats as well as out of town scores. Send all your suggestions
to Mike, no. Just kidding about
that. I'd hate for Mike's inbox to explode...
I wish you all the best of luck in your playoffs if you are still
in them and happy holidays! Just think about how cool this is, after
your wife/girlfriend is finished dragging you around on Saturday
for that last minute shopping, you will be able to kick back on
xmas eve and enjoy some football. There should be a few meaningful
games left then!
