NFL

-Though not on this blog, I picked the Titans and the Cowboys to play in the Super Bowl this year. The Titans were a random pick that I just had a feeling about and the Cowboys a more obvious pick. After the first 2 weeks of the season I still feel confident with those picks.
-What is up with Vince Young? I don’t believe that he was suicidal, like some of the reports. I do believe that he did have a meltdown though. What is up with these mental cases that come from the University of Texas? Ricky Williams, Cedric Benson, and now Vince Young. Let’s not forget about Roy Williams and some of the crazy things he’s said while being a member of the Detroit Lions. What the heck is Mack Brown doing to these kids? Watch out Denver Broncos. Former Texas RB Selvin Young is next to do something crazy. You heard it here first…..Geez.

-Speaking of the Broncos. That call by Ref Ed Hercules was just awful. At least he admitted that it was awful. That allowed the Broncos to get a win they didn’t deserve against the Chargers. Making matters worse, it made Mike Shanahan look good by going for two to win the game. You know, no one in the NFL has better job security than Mike Shanahan (Bill Bellicheat but that’s it). Any other coach wouldn’t be able to make the call to try this. Fail and you are certain to lose your job at season’s end, if not before. Shanahan has the luxury of going with his gut because if he’s wrong he still has a job no matter what. Other coaches have to play it safe.
