early season and midweek reflections....
I hate to lose more than I like to win..which is an idolotrous problem. Every year before the season starts I say that I'm going to "back off a bit" or "not invest so much"--but I always do, and I always end up in the same situation...second guessing and frustrated. I have grown up a bit, I cuss less and less. I don't throw things really anymore. My dad and I are not on the phone all night after a loss. I don't feel depressed on Sunday...at least not all day. But still, my mind has raced and these are some things that have been on my mind----Agree, disagree, comment, or ignore.
- Tennessee lost 6 home games the entire decade of the 90's, they have lost 12 this decade and we are early into the '06 season. They have the potential to triple or even quadrouple that amount before decade is over.
- If the U.S. doesn't take back the Ryder Cup this weekend, then we have to seriously question the integrity of Tiger and Phil.
- Why won't Drew Bledsoe throw the freaking ball to T.O.????
- Charlie Weiss really is Fat, and his team is not physical.
- Brady Quinn will never be an All-Pro QB
- since when did Referees attain the ability to "re-nig" or "review" penalties??
- LSU got screwed, Oklahoma got screwed, Tenn-FLA refs were aweful...something has to change before they cost someone a championship.
- I love Spors Illustrated, but "Dr. Z" is w/o a doubt the worst pro-football analyzer out there. His pre-season super bowl teams are 0-4 right now.
- USC may never have to rebuild until Pete Carrol dies....
- Someone should assasinate Pete Carrol ASAP
- Miami is the worst coached talent in nation, LSU is not far behind and will follow their steps in the coming years.
- Howard Eskin of the Philadelphia media is the most insecure egotistical whiner ever, even after this weekend he is still convinced that Eli Manning is a "scared puppy" who can't win a big game.
- I love to watch the Eagles lose
- College Football Injuries suck, they can ruin a teams year.
- Michelle Wie is tampering with the integrity of golf.
- Sunday Night Football is quickly replacing Monday Night Football as the 'marquee' time slot in the NFL.
- Something just feels wrong and sad about watching Nebraska play w/o the Option.
- Aaron Brooks, Chris Simms, and Kerry Collins are not going to change just b/c they changed uniforms.
- Thankfully Allen Iverson is still in Philadelphia right now.
- Notre Dame's defense is terrible, but not as bad as Florida State's offense.
- How did Kentucky thump Ole Miss?? very dissapointing.
- Muslims are angry people
There really is more to my life than this, I had to speak at a conference last weekend and put all this on hold. It was refreshing and relaxing...if only i could do that ALL THE TIME!

Bledsoe did throw to TO last week, and he dropped a Touchdown pass, partly b/c he was playing w/a broken finger.
They have developed no timing, and that is very important for a QB like Bledsoe in an offense like Dallas'. Parcells has said all along that TO will not catch 90 balls this year so he'd better get used to it.
Alex,
That post made me laugh, made me cry, and then laugh again. Thank you for that. It was good to enter the mind of Alex. The post was the essence of sweet emotion.
By the way,
The "What are we about" post will be coming at the end of the week. So get ready to agree, disagree.
Luke, i make no serious 'strategic' comments for the cowboys...just as a fantasy football player who has TO on his team....to quote Keshaywn "Throw him the Damn ball!!"
TO might have better timing if he had spent more time practicing with Bledsoe this summer, or even played more in preseason. Oh, wait... He had a "hamstring problem" that just happened to not show up on MRI or any other test. I'm sure he'll do fine in a few weeks when they play the Eagles.
I lucked out on my WR's, in that I came in late on them in my draft (a WR is a WR is a WR in fantasy football; they're all streaky, with a few exceptions) and I picked up Donte Stallworth and Deion Branch late. Two trades later and my WR corp is looking better.
