My Crystal Balls

Picture this:  Mike Vick's the toast of the town.  He's the best athlete in the NFL and he's filthy rich.  Now fast forward to today: Vick's in jail and Bobby Petrino took a $2,000,000 pay cut to go back to coaching college football.  I hesitate to say "big-time college football" because, prior to the last couple years, Arkansas was not a team I could remember seeing in the top 25 at any point during any season my entire life.  Obviously Petrino's a snake; lacking even the requisite decency to notify his players prior to his departure THREE GAMES AWAY FROM THE END OF HIS FIRST SEASON AT THE HEALM.  Arthur Blank feels betrayed.  Falcons players feel betrayed.  No doubt the people of Atlanta are wringing their hands in frustration.  

Moreover, there will be no can't miss quarterback in the draft this year, a position at which the Falcons are in dire need.  Earlier this week, on Monday night football to be specific, Blank went on record as saying he would not rule out Vick's returning to the NFL in a Falcons uniform.  He can't afford to wait.  Nor should he.  My left ball tells me the Falcons are in deep shit well into the future.   

Mangini is a huge fucking rat.  He admits that he requests and is routinely granted permission to film away games from multiple angles, sideline and endzone, each and every week.  Teams routinely request the same of the Jets' organization.  This request is routinely granted.  So how and why did he tattle on Bill Bellichick?  Because he didn't ask permission?  This is amazing to me.  Tough to be a Jets fan.  Coach is a pussy; they play in Giants stadium; they're terrible.  My other ball says the Jets are going to get worked this weekend.
