SPORTS OVERLOAD
I had to do it. Leaving my typical focus of what really matters, I had to vent on the thing that took up most of my Sunday while on duty...FOOTBALL!!!
WOW...my favorite team the Minnesota Vikings have really come on lately. Any surprise? I mean, I have only been saying since the 1999 trade of BRad Johnson, that the Vikings were making their biggest mistake since Hershel Walker. IF you do not believe me, see my dad, MSgt Davis, any sports fan who listened to me in the past 6 years. Now, I am not a man to cheer the pain of any individual, but professionally speaking, Daunte Culpeppers injury is the best thing to happen to the Vikings in those 6 years. Brad Johnson is back.
He has a ring, he has spent his career managing teams and getting to the playoffs, he has always excelled with Minnesota. The facts are, Brad Johnson is a MUCH better quaterback. No, he cannot throw it, run it, or shake sacks off like Daunte, but he has something Culpepper never developed, brains and leadership. He does not make the critical mistakes Daunte makes. He was always able to get the open receiver the ball, not the open defender. Though not as good, he is a pocket passing feild general in the shadow of the Tom Brady and Peyton Mannings. Even better than Peyton, he led his team to a Super Bowl victory. NFC...watch out. Tice might be that much better of a coach for having that much better of a quarterback at the helm. Errrr...until next year when they bench him for that moron who impresses people with personal stats and not wins!
The Chargers...did anyone else see the obvious reason for their collapse yesterday? They assumed the cockiness of their coach, who coached them into overconfidence and lost them the game. Any team with that much talent, that implodes that quickly against an inferior team like Miami, had a coaching failure. (See the Vikings of 1998-2000). But just wait, they will beat Indianapolis, K.C and Denver to advance to the playoffs. Errrr...provided the coach doesn't pack it in like all his years past. Again, someone who is great at stats, not wins that matter!
The Pistons are the best team in years. They are better than any team the Lakers put on the floor since Magic Johnson was around. Isn't it refreshing to see a basketball team that is so Patriotesque in its attitude?! They have no ego. Not even Rasheed Wallace. Yes he gets mad, loses his cool, flails around like a baby at every call, but the fact is, he does not care if he scored 2 or 22 points, as long as his team wins. And win the WILL!!! They will be the champs again, and any time they wish as long as Dumars can keep his players in tact. And that is possible, because winning is all this team cares about. It actually may NOT be about the money...for once.
And that is my take on sports for this Monday. Maybe I will do it again sometime!
God Bless
