My first "winner" or should I say "winner's" are the Williams cousins, Pat and Kevin. Although not really cousins, they do share something in common, they ain't playing the next 4 weeks. Due to a positive test to a banned diuretic and a court's decision to uphold the suspension the NFL handed out, the Vikings will be without their 2 best run stopping defenders. This coming with 3 weeks and 1/2 of a game lead on Da' Bears.........DA BEARS!!!! O not even to mention the fact that their last 3 games include @ Arizona, Atlanta and THE G-MEN!!! By the way, all 3 of those teams are playoff caliber teams.
My first winner are Da Bears.........DA BEARS!!!! With not only the story I mentioned before, the Bears picked up a huge win over the New Orleans Saints last night riding the foot of Robbie "Solid As" Gould to a 27-24 victory in OT. Now with the Williams' out for the remainder of the season, and the Bears with a home game against the Packers and the season finale against the Texans, the Bears find themselves in control of their own destiny.
WHY ARE WE SO BLESSED?!?!?!
My next "winner" of the week is the Dallas Cowboys, a team that in the last week, could not have shot themselves in the foot any worse than.......Plaxico Burress I suppose. First off, Jerry Jones calling out a guy who, after some character traits have begun to surface, I can honestly say is the heart soul of that team in Marion Barber. Then you have to(T.O.....thanks Rome) claiming that Tony Romo and Jason Whitten are linked together in a scandal that would make Richard Nixon gasp. Apparently T.O. thinks that Romo and Whitten are conspiring against him and other WR and purposely not throwing them the ball, and instead throwing it to Jason Whitten. Yeah, I believe that less than I believe the show you put on when the media criticized your "QB" last year and you wept like a 5 year old girl that didn't get the right Barbie on Christmas. Just to clear things up, this is coming from a guy who catches maybe 50% of the balls that go his way and still has 55 catches and will surely surpass the 1000 yard marker. ALSO!!! Pacman Jones suffered possibly a career ending injury, put that all on your shoulders and carry that into a game this week against the best team in the NFC.
Due to a lack of good things that occured this week, I will jump right into my last 2 "winners" the first being the Heisman Trophy committee. I am not going to dwell on this alot because I already wrote about it earlier, but not inviting Graham Harrell is terrible and a disgrace. Yeah, I know he's a hick and probably not the most marketable guy on the face of the earth, but there is not a single argument you could make against this guy. His coach and personal(wishfull) friend of mine Mike Leach commented on the snub by saying, "if Graham is not invited to the Heisman, they ought to quit giving out the award. It is a shameless example of politics ruling over performance." Could not have said it better myself.
Finally my last "winner" are New Orleans Saints fans and the sense of entitlement that they seem to have over other teams. This has not been a controlled experience for me, but something that I have witnessed several times, and frankly can not understand. First experience was a guy at Applebees who would celebrate and talk trash every time Drew Brees completed a pass, you can ask Smooth-O and Wolf more about that one cause the comments were directed more towards them. But last night was ridiculous, mind you this was going on while the Bears were well in the lead.....Pierre Thomas carry for 2 yards, STANDING OVATION!!!!!!! They went nuts everytime a Saints players scratched his nuts well. I say this because I come from a fan base known for drunk, loud and obnoxious fans, but it is also the fan base of a team who has a few trophies in their display case. O by the way New Orleans....Trent Dilfer-1 Archie Manning-0!!!
