Many in the media are obsessed with Philly. Whether booed, ballyhooed or
berated, the Eagles trend upward because Sal Paolantonio and Co.
treat the color of Andy Reid’s underpants as breaking news. (Side note: Reid's y-fronts are a game-time decision).
The talk is Kansas City are in the driver’s seat for next year’s top draft pick---you'd assume a quarterback. Sure,
Cassel has underwhelmed. But isn’t it entirely possible he’s playing with a tainted
deck? There’s certainly no ace, a couple of queens, and more than a few jokers. Cassel’s real problem is lucky No.7---it’s too much to live up to when your o-line has nothing up its sleeve.
A few weeks back, Chicago was touted as a juggernaut by many of the talking heads. Then Cutler
was crunched, the defense was buried in burden, and Jason Campbell
forgot quarterback is a job that requires you to be conscious. Now the Bears
are back, fulfilling their usual hype at the onset of winter.
New England fans
keep telling us they worry about their team’s defense. "Oh, thy secondary!" they cry. The running game is
lackluster, they claim. Even Brady’s hair has lost some sheen, so say Boston stylists. Meanwhile, the Pats
continue the charge. Don’t expect this approach to change until the Giants refund
their New Orleans flights.
Kaepernick! The
49ers haven’t had this much press since Singletary dropped his Dockers.
Things have come full circle: Coach Jim Harbaugh pulled Alex Smith’s pants down
before the smelling salts even kicked in. Rest assured, Smith is still "his guy".
