Well, he tried an end-run around Terry Donahue to push him out of the GM position; ultimately, the Yorks sided with Donahue. Honestly, I don't blame them and probably would have done the same thing ... in any company, it's rather poor form to reward an employee for trying to muscle out his superior. (I just wouldn't have replaced him with Dennis Erickson.
)In any event, there's at least a small case to be made that Mooch's success was as a result of the house that Seifert built.

I really want to see Donovan McNabb play like he did last week, but I have a feeling he'll manage more that 39 yards passing this week. I'd still like to see the Vikings lose. A few more Vikings loses and there would be a good chance they'd be blacked out and we'd get more Packers games. I have the NFL package, but a lot of bars have opted out since DirecTV charges businesses an arm and a leg for the package.
Yeah, it sucks not being able to watch every game of your team on television once you leave the area. Definitely the thing I miss the most about the Philly region. I don't really feel like watching the Redskins instead.
Timby, you have such a way with words.... I just don't think it would really be football season without your posts.
Carolina looks pretty decent against an obviously very strong opponent.

Not really (regarding GB being "very strong"). Green Bay's defense was absolutely terrible against New Orleans, and they have a rather weak defensive line -- losing Cullen Jenkins was huge for them. Charles Woodson is another year older (and, at 34, well on the wrong age of 30, especially at a high-speed position like cornerback), and their depth at ROLB is questionable at best.
Their offensive power, outside of having possibly the only offensive line in the NFL worse than the Bears', is still world-caliber -- though it's amazing to see them completely shut down by Carolina thus far -- but that defense is a huge concern and it will certainly be the reason they don't repeat last year.
I mean, New Orleans has been held to a field goal against the fucking Bears today -- the Saints hung 34 on the Packers last week.
Edit: Never mind. The Bears just coughed up a massive 79-yard touchdown on 3rd and 12.
Carolina sucks. They didn't have to lose this game but it looks like they will now unless a dramatic turnaround happens; it seems like the last time they scored was 2 hours ago. Newton is a fucking beast though.
One of those cripple teams is not like the other...is there a chance Detroit's finally rounded the corner?
Depends on whether or not Matt Stafford's shoulder has finally rounded the corner.
Well, Carolina may still be losing, but I won't leave Newton on the bench anymore, he's making almost 30 fantasy points on yahoo again the second week in a row.
