Reid Between The Lines

  Back from the AFC Championship Game
So I got a chance to be a fan and go to the AFC Championship game last week. There was a little bit of work involved but being a fan was the key ingredient. First and foremost, I don't know how people do it. Tailgating in the cold and still having the power to rock and roll through the game and then party on afterwards is amazing. The Patriots don't have the best fans in the NFL, that distinction goes to the Redskins, but because of their teams success, they do have a group that's used to winning. When their team is down, there are no worries. No one is clutching some lucky rabbits foot or going with the rally caps. No one is talking to their higher power or going into a cursing tyrade of "don't let this happen to me again." In fact, nothing happens. It must be nice. They have trust in Tom Brady and folks, that's as good as it gets. You could tell he was hurt and he was having a bad game. Not a problem. The Patriots did enough to get the job done and there was Tom, smiling and holding the trophy. All the women in the stands had their best winter outfits on, hoping Tom would show them some love... and then they realize, he's with Giselle. Enough said. Go Tom, it's your birthday, Giselle's a model.

I want Eli Manning to win the Superbowl just for the commercials. I want him walking down the ESPN hallways, leading the way and then kicking Peyton in the rear. I want Eli to dominate Visa and have some grocer sign and cantaloupe for Peyton. It's time for Eli to get his. Peyton has dominated the commercial airwaves. Let the other Manning get some. I just don't think that's going to happen. Did I mention Tom is with Giselle!!!!

What are the Redskins doing? How can the Atlanta Falcons have a coach and personnel in place before Washington? I know they are waiting for the right candidate but c'mon. Now Al Saunders has been told to look for work elsewhere because the Redskins have hired Jim Zorn as offensive coordinator. I'm sure Al is happy about that. He and Todd Collins just led the Redskins to the playoffs and their reward, a pink slip, the door. Don't let it hit ya where the good lord split ya. Gibbs and Snyder have handled this a bit harsh and yes I said Gibbs. He is still on staff collecting a pay check. But now the guys he brought in to help are being told to hit the road. That's crap!! Whenever the Redskins hire a coach, the big noise will be made by Gregg Williams. Let's see how long he can go, before letting it all hang out about the Redskins operation. This procedure had to hurt his pride. Gregg didn't deserve all of this. If you didn't want him to be the head coach, then don't interview him 7-thousand times. The way the Skins are searching, it looks like they're trying to re-invent the wheel. They did that a couple of year's ago. Remember they finished that season 5 and 11.

That's Dan for ya...

I wouldn't put Joe in front of Dan in your sentence, or maybe you know something I don't... other than Joe is still collecting a paycheck?

Nah I think Snyder calls the shots, and just bounces bad ideas off others to make himself feel better. Joe may have told him it wasn't the way to go, but he did it anyways.

Should Joe have quit? I think he already did... you want him to quit twice? He may be hanging around just to try and keep things from getting any worse.

I can tell you this right now, and you can probably sense this as well... Gregg aint gettin the job. Dan was happy with the defence but not happy with the offence. I think he asked Joe to step aside, and he (Dan) began planning his moves in December. That He desperately wants Gregg to stay on Defence, but he's politicking just to keep him happy... The carrot on a stick.

I don't think this will work.
I think Dan has a lot to learn about people and football. After all these years you'd have thought he'd have learned by now, but that's the short bus for ya...
 
ummm...

I guess Joe's damage control didn't quite work. I also think that nasty rumor that went out, that Gregg Bad mouthed Joe? Nine out of ten says that never happened. Nah that was just put out probably because Gregg told Dan to shove it.

Looks like we the fans will have to sit patiently for a decade or so while Dan makes every mistake in the Book before he finally learns.

Dan should know most people can see right through him.

At least now we know what was wrong with the team last year and in years before. It was never Joe, but I'll let you guys figure it out. At least now you have some clues.

Jack Kent Cooke was one crazy owner, but he had better sense than Dan... nuff said
 
Hey Levan,
I hear you when it comes to letting the other Manning brother get his. I feel like a "Hater", I love the fact that the Patriots have done so well, but I really don't want them to win the "Super Bowl". I really don't want the the "Giants" to win either, but it is what it is. I am a little mad at the fact that you keep mentioning the "Model Giselle" yes she is beutiful, I just think that just because your big time does that mean that woman that are not in "great shape" are not worthy of "Handsome" men. Give all woman props model or not.
