That cheered me up.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 12 December 2011 17:02 (twelve years ago) link

wow

k3vin k., Monday, 12 December 2011 18:48 (twelve years ago) link

...and down goes Sparano.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 12 December 2011 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

must have been killing the dolphins mgmt to have to wait for a sort-of bad loss to can him

cad, Monday, 12 December 2011 20:53 (twelve years ago) link

lol. they have no-one to blame but themselves, in that regard.

i think the GM (jeff ireland) has (wisely) been demoted.

Daniel, Esq., Monday, 12 December 2011 21:26 (twelve years ago) link

has he?

v-shasty, Monday, 12 December 2011 21:48 (twelve years ago) link

funny thing is that ireland actually made some pretty good moves this year, but he's done some pretty unforgivable stuff

v-shasty, Monday, 12 December 2011 21:49 (twelve years ago) link

i don't think either sparano and haley necessarily showed any signs that they were great coaches in the making, but i don't think either of them were helped much by their GMs. miami have more to work with going forward. KC have a few isolated prime pieces on both sides of the ball but what seems like a pretty low average talent level otherwise. if they really bring in josh mcd i think in a couple of years neither he nor pioli will be living in MO

i would say that the dolphins are prob in better position solely for not having $55m committed to matt caseell

otoh chiefs division is much easier to win in

v-shasty, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 00:18 (twelve years ago) link

If the Dolphins had had a real coach all season they'd be over .500.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 00:30 (twelve years ago) link

Seriously how many games did they lose in pitful fashion because of Sparano being an idiot?

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 00:30 (twelve years ago) link

probably less than you think but still too many

v-shasty, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 00:40 (twelve years ago) link

okay I am somewhere where fox news is on and this line was just uttered:

"can the president learn from tebow about the power of prayer"

iatee, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 03:50 (twelve years ago) link

omg

cad, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 03:55 (twelve years ago) link

haven't been watching this game, but i did have some skittles today

daria, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:02 (twelve years ago) link

there was a blocked punt, there's been multiple halfback passes

cad, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:02 (twelve years ago) link

dude next time just use that for your bar trivia team name, do not write a column on it

daria, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:06 (twelve years ago) link

Tebow is not even close to the most physically talented quarterback in the NFL (and he probably isn’t even the most physically talented quarterback on his own team), but he has taken a team sitting in the cellar and lifted it up to playoff contention.

uh you are an idiot who knows nothing about football

cad, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:07 (twelve years ago) link

also rip todd haley ;_;

daria, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:08 (twelve years ago) link

lol apparently one reason haley got fired was he wasn't putting in the hours expected of an nfl head coach.

just saving his energy to cuss on game day.

cad, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:14 (twelve years ago) link

the rams are running the most inept goal line offense i've ever seen

cad, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:19 (twelve years ago) link

lol my twitter is freaking out

v-shasty, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:20 (twelve years ago) link

Guys, watching the Rams play the Seahawks really makes you appreciate the ability to follow a team that is competent at football. Dear Lord, that last Rams Red Zone drive, just...I don't even know

C-L, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:21 (twelve years ago) link

Like I mention way too often, though, whenever the MNF guys openly mock the game they're watching, it is one of my favorite things on TV.

C-L, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:23 (twelve years ago) link

oh no chucky talking about tebow

daria, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:26 (twelve years ago) link

<3 seahawk fans throwing skittles on the field

daria, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:29 (twelve years ago) link

Hahaha that slow-motion replay of the shower of Skittles hitting Lynch is amazing.

C-L, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:30 (twelve years ago) link

that was definitely worth watching the 4th quarter of this game for

"this whole skittles thing is very bizarre"

man 5 division leaders have win differentials w/in 11pts of each other, one has infinity w/in its gasp, and two are lol negative

Cooper Chucklebutt, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:43 (twelve years ago) link

So far the Bill Belichick coaching tree doesn't look too hot at this point, not one of them has had much success.

Weis
Crennel
McDaniel
Mangini
Haley

earlnash, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:48 (twelve years ago) link

belichicks success has been more abt a complete organizational approach prob more than any other supercoach ever - thats harder to take w/you than like a defensive philosophy or w/e

Cooper Chucklebutt, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:53 (twelve years ago) link

i do find it kinda lol to watch his proteges fail for whatever reason, like picture him in his office cackling burning pictures of them mumbling did you really think id give you my secret formula

Cooper Chucklebutt, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:55 (twelve years ago) link

Belichick's assistants are good assistants.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:56 (twelve years ago) link

there are 5 magic ingredients. no one else is ever allowed to know more than 4 of them and they swear a blood oath never to talk to one another.

horseshoe loves tom brady, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:56 (twelve years ago) link

also im of the opinion that the league has to some extent caught up w/him at this point

Cooper Chucklebutt, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:56 (twelve years ago) link

it also helps to have tom brady continue to be tom brady

iatee, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:58 (twelve years ago) link

oddly great coaches tend to be associated w/great players and vice versa

Cooper Chucklebutt, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:59 (twelve years ago) link

they still seem like a well-coached team to me, with serious talent issues on defense.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 04:59 (twelve years ago) link

his record before brady was kinda bad wasn't it?

iatee, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 05:00 (twelve years ago) link

yeah he was a bust in Cleveland.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 05:01 (twelve years ago) link

well imho their talent issues to some extent are caused by belichick taking his schtick too far, like any player who dares look him in the eye or like ask for a ten dollar a game raise is immediately cut or traded for mid round draft picks

Cooper Chucklebutt, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 05:02 (twelve years ago) link

his record in like 3 seasons as a head coach in cleveland was bad, but his record as parcells assistant was v good indeed, and parcells record sans belichick is p underwhelming

Cooper Chucklebutt, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 05:04 (twelve years ago) link

i was contrasting belichick with andy reid recently in that reid refuses to make any changes to his core approach whereas belichick is always trying to turn things over and find new approaches to keep ahead. he opened a little gap again on offense with the TEs but he has been struggling to make variations click on D. he'll come up with something eventually if he doesn't kill the talent pool with horrible draft picks.

horseshoe loves tom brady, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 05:04 (twelve years ago) link

his record in cleveland, contrasted with cleveland's record otherwise towards the death of cleaveland mk1, was not too bad tbh

horseshoe loves tom brady, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 05:05 (twelve years ago) link

i feel like occasionally you have to pay to keep yr good doods

Cooper Chucklebutt, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 05:05 (twelve years ago) link

they've got edelman playing cornerback. That's a sign that the draft picks are not going well.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 05:06 (twelve years ago) link

xp kinda false to say they don't do that tho. paid big money for mankins and vince, and brady obv. with the secondary being what it is ppl complain about letting asante go but a CB who can't tackle for shit is anathema to bb
