So Specter isn't letting this go...
"[Goodell] issued the discipline as quickly as he could to send a strong message to teams that this wouldn't be tolerated and there'd be a severe penalty if you violated the rules," Aiello said. "The discipline included they had to turn over everything they had related to that taping procedure."
Specter heard that explanation from Goodell on Wednesday. On Thursday, Specter said, "The words absurd and ridiculous keep coming to my mind because he [Goodell] says it with a straight face." (From ESPN.com)
Dude, are you kidding me? How can Specter say that with a straight face?
Look, the Eagles had a bad season. I'm a Bears fan, we had a bad season too.
Get. Over. It.
Deal with it like all the other fans out there. Make up some stupid storyline about how "long-suffering" you are. How you are cursed. How your quarterback is going to defect, blah blah blah... But stop spending millions of our hard earned tax dollars on your petty grievances over how bad your team is.
Okay. This is pretty difficult for a Bears fan to say, but:
If it takes the Packers to take down the AFC, so be it.
Well, in the least surprising coaching move this Winter, Bill Cowher has resigned as the Steelers head coach.
This is actually an ingenious move, on his part. I mean, seriously... he lucked into the Super Bowl last year, and now his team is on a rebuild path after what other teams might call a "mild" season, but what fair-weather fans would call a disaster, an 8-8 season. Big Ben showed he's not invincible, and from a coaching perspective, the whole team just seems like a pain in the ass. Sure, if he stayed around he might be able to squeeze out the potential in the whole situation get back to the playoffs.
But why? I mean, why not sit back a few years, be there for your kids as they grow up, and then come back as the "savior" when the patsy that replaces you fails miserably. Then you can really gloat and think to yourself, "great move, man, that patsy coulda been me!"
But it wasn't you. Your legend is intact, and now it's 2010, and you're back, refreshed, recharged. And all you have to do is make a few adjustments and get a few guys to jell (guys that, of course, your patsy put in place for you) and bam! voila! You're right back in the hunt.
Ingenious, really.
Just watch it happen. I mean, this one's so obvious even I'm calling it.
All I can say is, back to the stinking gutter for you, Rams. You are the most overrated, conniving bunch of wanna-bes in the league.
Also, fuck you, Fox.
