Werd NYC!

Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
All I want is 53 Rod Smiths. Is that asking too much????

“It’s hard for one coach to emulate somebody else,” Belichick said. “We all have our own strengths and weaknesses. When you’ve been successful, you kind of gotta go with what’s gotten you there, not that you can’t learn from other people. You gotta be who you are, and be comfortable with who you are. I think that’s the biggest thing with any coach.”

I love Belichick far more than most here I think. One of the best, if not THE best ever. I keep thinking though, of his slow progression to a great head coach from great co-ordinator… I’m not looking forward to more of McD’s learning curve.

Here’s to hoping NE misses Josh!

Gil Brandt loves Tebow...

Just like I love Tebow. It’s nice to know the Godfather of the NFL Draft agrees with me. :)

Foster

I hope he catches on but I don’t feel bad for him at all…$620,000 might be less than what he has made in the past but it’s still way more $ than I’ll make this year! :)

George Foster? Thinking about that wasted 1st rounder just made me throw up in my mouth a little.

Boot and Rally. It’s Friday. Hope BM shows up.

More Insight on McDaniels

From TSN article:
“Bottom line: McDaniels got the most out of his talent, and an infectious approach contributed.

“One thing we might miss is his enthusiasm at practice,” guard Stephen Neal said. “He was always out here throwing the ball, playing three-on-three with the other coaches 20 minutes before practice. Just seeing that gives you a little spark.”

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also DREAM; not only plan, but also BELIEVE.

Totally random and off-topic, but look what I made:

I didn’t think this was worthy of a whole post, so I’m putting it in here. Sorry if that’s bad. Anyway, my take on the Broncos’ much needed new unis. I kept the color scheme, but I made the whole thing a throwback to the drunken-horse-blue-sleeves jerseys of the 60’s. Here it is:
