Sorry for all the football talk this weekend, but it's the first week of Saturday and Sunday non-stop coverage, and well this is my blog so you'd best get used to it thru January. The Bucs lost to the Saints today in OT. I'm not sure if you saw the game or not, but in my opinion, we deserved to lose. Sure we came back in dramatic fashion at the last minute to tie it up -- but out of 60 minutes of regulation play, I'd guesstimate we only saw maybe 4 minutes of actual offense out of the Bucs. The defense didn't play up to par either. Yet another week of mouthing off to the press and not backing it up on the field. I have to give the new coaching staff credit for not rolling over and playing dead in the fourth quarter -- but that's about the only credit I'll give anyone.
And now my football rant of the week... The biggest football rant I ever have, really. What in the fuck do defenders think they are doing by all those diving body blocks? Nine times out of ten they end up with slip-in-slide action down the field...and oh, say, five yards ahead of them...and still running on their feet...is the person they were trying to bring down. How do coaches not teach players to make -- then stick -- tackles? I would be greasing up pigs to catch and locking those boys in pens with them for some of the crap I've seen over the last two days. (Don't tell PETA, ok?) You don't look like a hero if your diving effort results in grass in your helmet and 10 extra yards for the other team. You look like an dumbass. Period. That's advice from a girl and I'm sticking to it. Oh well, at least the Cowboys look like idiots in primetime tonight. The day they fired Barry is the day they made me a sworn enemy for life. Too bad Mr. Roy Williams got stuck with them.  I loved watching football today. I didn't do anything else. I saw the last few minutes of regulation play and the OT of the Bucs game. Sorry for your loss. My 49ers played lousy on Thursday night too, but were lucky enough to pull out a win in the last few seconds. I'll accept any win right now. You can never talk too much about football for me, but that probably isn't true for most of your readers.:) ¤ ¤ credit: wKen | 09.08.02 at 10:05 PM | link- -this ¤ ¤ Haha, so long as you occasionally mention other things than football, I'll still visit. ;) Heck, every once in awhile I might even read the football stuff just so I don't feel completely left out :D ¤ ¤ credit: ste | 09.08.02 at 11:50 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I just have to say Go PACK. As for the Bucs, that's one down.... :) ¤ ¤ credit: Scott | 09.09.02 at 04:10 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Heh heh, I had a hard time deciding who to pull for in the Bucs-Saints game as the former UVA players were on opposite sides of the field! Aaron Brooks looked pretty good (at least for three quarters)leading the Saints to what appeared to be a blow-out. Then Ronde Barber simply played his butt off and helped the Buc defense force something like 5 straight punts. Helluva game though... ¤ ¤ credit: ron | 09.09.02 at 06:04 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Does anyone still like the cowboys?? I think everyone I know harbors a deep hatred for the team. ¤ ¤ credit: theresa | 09.09.02 at 07:39 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Have you EVER heard anything as silent as the fans at RayJay after that loss? It was creepy how silent that stadium got. ¤ ¤ credit: Bill | 09.09.02 at 01:02 PM | link--this ¤ ¤
