State of the Union?

Now, in an effort to redeem myself for admitting to having participated in an hour and half of hot yoga, I am going to do some NFL naval gazing:


Vince young has the second lowest QB rating in the NFL. When you win, people never want to talk about stats. When you lose, the first thing we do is examine stats.

Mike Vick has been in the league for 6 years and his completion percentage this year is a paltry 51%.

Art Shell is a terrible coach and it's truly amazing he was given a second chance with a head coaching job.

Chad Johnson is siiiiiick.

Terrel Owens is no longer an elite receiver and this makes me smile.

Shawn Merrimen was suspended for testing positive for steroids. Where is the public outcry? Does he have to beat Strahan's sack record in order for people to care?

Why/how is Philly playing better without McNabb than they were with?

Tom Coughlin needs to be fired because he's an idiot.

How is Frank Gore this good on two reconstructed knees? He's averaging 5.6 yards per carry this year. That's superhuman.

Fred Taylor isn't given enough credit for his body of work.

Jamal Lewis has been decidedly medicore since emerging from prison....which makes me smile.

LaDanian Tomlinson is as effective as Emmett Smith and as exciting as Barry Sanders....which also makes me smile.

If Denver's offensive line did not have a policy against speaking to the media, would the media speak to them?

Ray Lewis and Brian Billick are the two most annoying personalities in football.

What's the deal with Clinton Portis? What's the deal with the Redskins?

The game has passed Joe Gibbs by.

How come some guys are constantly hurt?

How come the rules don't apply to Michael Irvin?

I cant answer all of those questions but I will tackle an easy one. Clinton Portis hasnt played for 5 or 6 weeks, broken hand and shoulder surgery...done for the season.

I think he means why was he averaging 4 yards per carry before he got hurt.

im guessing it was because he missed all those games in preseason and the second game of the regular season, and when he did play be was playing with a shoulder that needed surgery.

Thank you anonymous for jarring my memory....and for being anonymous. he was injurred tackling a defensive back on an interception or something, no? then, in an interview he went on record complaining about how the preseason was too long.
