"This is Alabama Football"
Sports Talk Entry Number Five


holy crap. if this is alabama football, i hope that someone will shoot it soon (old yeller style, 'cuz this thing is sick) and put it out of it's misery. i want a reincarnation. something new. something that's not painful to watch. thus ends the era of my generation's most over-hyped and overrated quarterback, one brodie croyle. i have said it before, but good riddance to him and welcome to whosoever might take the reins of this very vanilla offense. my gut wants to see what jimmy johns could bring to the table. my head tells me that shula will make the safe choice in underwhelming local boy, john parker wilson. i am going to need my program to recognize all the new starters on D game one next year. 10-2??? ten wins. how did that happen? boy, that defense must've been really, really good. they were today. even anthony madison. so long, demeco...and charlie, and roman, and freddie. ten wins??? no way that should've been the case. good job, D. good job, indeed.

the falcons are not playing in the post-season. what's worse...knowing the braves will lose in the playoffs, or not making the playoffs at all. that's tough. i am so disappointed in the falcons. in michael vick. so disappointed that i would want terrell owens to come play with mike? gosh, that's scary. i would take it.

this excerpt taken from mark gottfried's office the day after signing day..."well, coach, we did good this year."... gottfried: "yeah, i think we did. we kept richie hendrix from the nba. that alonzo gee really can jump. with the frontline we've got coming back, there's gonna be no stopping us this year. no stopping us."..."uh...coach? i think we may have forgotten something."...gottfried: "what are you talking about?"..."we didn't recruit any guards. ronald steele is the only guy on our team that can dribble or shoot."...gottfried: "what are you talking about? we've got shelton and kennedy winston both coming back. we are going to be lights out!"..."coach, kennedy left and shelton graduated."...gottfried: "are you shittin' me?"..."no, coach." gottfried: "oh, well, don't worry about it. i can coach us out of this. i can coach us out of anything. when i take my coat off, it's like the incredible hulk. i get stronger and crazy and i'll be the best coach in the sec."..."uh, coach, david banner loses most of his intelligence when he turns into the hulk. he gets really stupid."...gottfried: "yeah? well, i'll just keep my coat on, then, and play the white boy a lot. that'll work."..."right, coach."

mark freakin' gottfried...worst...game coach....ever.

when does football season start?
