Saturdays Picks

Every year public opinion seems to back a team that has played terrible down the stretch, and think they will surely come together in the first round of the playoffs. This years addition the 2006 Dallas Cowboys. Was I the only person to watch this team lose to the Detroit Lions when they were in a must-win game for the division title. Tony Romo has 4 touchdowns 6 INts and a completetion percentage of 54.3% in his last three games. Now everybody expects the him to turn it on in his first playoff game at one of the hardest places to play in the NFL. Im sorry I just dont see it.
Seattle 35 Dallas 17

Somehow getting lost in how are the Colts going to stop Larry Johnson, is how the Cheifs defense will stop Peyton Manning. Manning has been on a tear of late, and the Chiefs defense is th Chiefs defense. If the Colts get up early which is highly probable, it absolutely terrfies me to have Trent Green down 14, and going to have to throw the ball at least 40 times.

The Coaching Carousel



Surfing the internet and cable today, most journalists and commentators have been completely tearing into former Dolphins coach Nick Saban. Believe it or not, he actually lied to reporters while his team still had a chance to make the playoffs and told the media he wasnt interested in another job. He actually left a job where he had two years remaining for a job where he had 8 guaranteed years. What is this guy a moron?

Pat Forde had an interesting argument on espn.com where he labeled the entire coaching fraternity of college football as liars. Although, I am preety sure the college football God himself Joe Paterno was excluded. Although even JoePa himself toyed with leaving for Michigan in 1969 and the New England Patriots in 1979. The bottom line is college football coaches are like any other profession. As a writer I am sure that nearly all collumnists would jump to a job at a newspaper or website where more money is guaranteed over a longer period of time. There is even a chance that they might deny some of the rumors if asked.

Lou Holtz summed it up very well when he stated, "If you liked Nick Saban before this doesn't bother you, but if you didnt he;s a traitor.

Well Said Lou.
