Show Recap - Tuesday September 07, 2010

Boise St. has nothing to apologize for. Not their conference. Not their schedule. Not for beating Oklahoma on a trick play. And not for blowing a 17 point lead and not hammering Virginia Tech. Not only do they have nothing to apologize for, they’re not getting the credit they deserve. They just did a top ten team, for all intents and purposes in their house and overcame crazy adversity to do it.

And don’t tell me, that since they play in the WAC, they needed to beat Virginia Tech down to get into the conversation. That’s wrong. They finished two of the last four years unbeaten, capping both seasons with wins in the Fiesta Bowl. And while they don’t play as many big games in season as some of the other factories, they usually win the ones they do. And they did last night, with a last minute drive, in a hostile environment, not with... More »

Better late than never, but if all it took was getting the owner and the coach on a plane and in front of Darrelle Revis to get him signed, why didn’t the Jets do it sooner? They’ve put it out there, all offseason and throughout the preseason; it’s Super Bowl or bust. And no one, the Jets included, were buying that nonsense they were running that they could get there without Revis. That they’d be fine with Antonio Cromartie and rookie Kyle Wilson. No, they wouldn’t.

The Jets knew it and Revis knew it. Just as both sides knew, an 0-2 start could kill any shot of getting to the Super Bowl, a very real possibility if they didn’t get this guy in. Again, with him, they’re anything but a lock to get to Dallas. Without him, they have no... More »

There’s getting slapped in the face. And there’s getting your face caved in and that’s what happened to Matt Leinart. Look, Leinart wasn’t surprised the Arizona Cardinals released him. That’s what he wanted. He orchestrated the whole thing. What had to shock him, though, was finding out that Arizona wasn’t the only team in the league who thinks he’s not a starting quarterback. In fact, every other team in the NFL thinks he’s a back up, which is why he ended up in Houston with a one year deal. Bad play Matt.

Now, you’re probably going to waste another year of your career since you have no chance of unseating Matt Schaub. And even if he does get hurt, how well do you really expect to play, joining them so late and having to learn a new system, in a place where you really don’t want to be anyway. If you stayed down, and... More »

Randy Moss doesn’t have a contract beyond this season. And while he says it’s not a problem, you know it is. “When you have done so much and put so much in, it kind of feels like I am not wanted. I am taking that in stride and playing my final year out and whatever the future holds is what it holds, but it kind of a bad feeling, feeling not wanted.” You’re not taking it in stride? If you were you wouldn’t be talking about it and telling everyone how badly you feel about it. How have you not seen this move before?

It’s played a million before. You’re 33. You’re best days are behind you. After this season, they would have gotten everything they could out of you and then they’ll show you the door. Like they have everyone else before you. Turn and burn. And you may think you’re different. But so did guys like Ty Law, Mike Vrabel... More »
