NFL Week 17 - Almost nobody is trying

[sbr]

EDIT:  Norv and AJ Smith both out in San Diego.

Good.  AJ Smith needed to go big time.

They both needed to go 4 years ago.  I have never seen such a waste of talent as those Chargers teams; they were the most talented roster in the league and played in, what, one AFC Championship game?  Disgraceful.

[Ed Anger]

Both GM & HC are gone in Arizona.

Yeah I just saw that and I'm not very happy about it.  Neither Lombardi nor Walsh could have won with the Cardinals' QB situation this year.  Wisenhunt may have "lost the team" but it's got to be hard to show up to work every week knowing there is almost 0% chance of winning.

Not to mention beanie wells being a complete assturd.

You can't completely blame him for being soft as a motherfuckin' grape, considering where he went to school.

It was the same thing with Norv and Casserly in DC...well except for the talent part.  Norv clearly has some sort of voodoo spell he weaves.

I dunno;  saw a lot of talent wasted by Buddy Ryan with the Eagles, and Jack Pardee with the early 90s Oilers. 

But yeah, San Diego wasted a lot of talent, and got what it deserved for firing Marty.  MARTYBALL UBER ALLES.*









*Yes, I realize the irony in wasted talent by mentioning Martyball.  Shaddup.

And I think the New York Jets fired the wrong guy.  Or, better said, fucked up by keeping the wrong guy.

They should have let them both go. 

Rex can make a pretty convincing argument that he just didn't have the players to compete.  The Jets roster is awful.  That crappy talent did a pretty good job of quitting on Rex though.

Also the GM that traded Tebow will be Executive of the Year.  The GM that traded for Tebow was fired yesterday.

Thing is, Rex has made pretty convincing arguments that these have been his players, and he's gotten everyone he's asked for, from showing up on Bart Scott's doorstep the day he was hired, to asking for a drafted QB in Mark Sanchez and a bust in Shonn Greene.  It's just as much his bed as it was Tannenbaum's.

Also the GM that traded Tebow will be Executive of the Year.  The GM that traded for Tebow was fired yesterday.

True dat.  Talk about a square peg and a round hole.  Knew that was doomed the moment it was announced.

Meanwhile, once again after every season, I can exhale.

Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta isn't going anywhere.

Although the AFC North champions indicated a number of teams have contacted them to ask permission to interview DeCosta for general manager vacancies, DeCosta has no intention of seeking employment elsewhere.

DeCosta was given a multi-year, lucrative contract last year to remain in Baltimore when other teams wanted to make him their general manager. Contractually, DeCosta is designated as the Ravens' general manager in waiting behind veteran general manager Ozzie Newsome.

"I love being a part of the Ravens and plan to stay here and help them win championships. I have no intentions of leaving this team."

Isn't that the same GM who drafted Tebow in the first place?

Not sure, I'll have to check.  I do know that the coach at the time, Josh McDaniels, was the biggest reason they drafted Tebow.

They both should have gone.  You can argue that Rex has way to much sway over GM-type decisions, but ultimately the GM's job is to stock the cupboard.  When the cupboard is bare at just about every position, the GM takes the rap.  Even when Rex got the Sanchez he wanted and Woody got the Tebow he wanted, there's no excuse at wideout, or the line.

Tim, you're retarded.
