QUICK HITS

QUICK HITS

NOT HELPING YOURSELF...

When asked by a young female reporter for his reaction to remarks that he should step down as Florida State's Head Football Coach, Bobby Bowden replied in Neanderthal fashion. "I have no comment on that, whatsoever."  Addressing the other assembled media, Bowden continued.  "Anybody got any questions besides her?" (pregnant pause) "Just like a woman."

Bobby, that seat just got a lot hotter.









CHARGING THE WRONG DIRECTION...

Is it me or do the San Diego Chargers seem to have lost their mojo ever since Marty Schottenheimer was shown the door.  Looks like the toughness went with him.  It wasn't that long ago that LaDainian Tomlinson was one of the most feared, multi-dimensional runningbacks in the game.  Now, he can barely stay on the field and appears a distant memory of his former self.

With the talent they have, the Chargers should be running away with the AFC West.  Instead, they're 2-2 and one of those victories, just barely, was against Oakland.

This has become the International Team of Mystery.


"Oh, Behave!" 










I'VE NEVER BEEN TO CLEVELAND...

And apparantly Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards isn't trying to make it home either.  Not getting hit enough on the field, Edwards allegedly assaulted a man outside a Cleveland nightclub.  Not just any man either.  Edwards picked on promoter Edward Givens, a friend of LeBron James.  That's akin to smacking around one of Tony Soprano's crew.  Luckily for Edwards, who's alleged punch is now being investigated by the NFL, James' immediate response was to call him "childish". 

Oh, and this happened Sunday night after the Browns lost to Cincinnati 23-20 in overtime.  Edwards was held to zero receptions for the first time in his career.  Who goes clubbing on a Sunday night!  Perhaps time would have been better spent watching game film.

I do love the outfit though.
