Than...JJJJ, I didn't have time to look that up. Thanks for the information. I can see why Jimmy Johnson came back, but I am confused as well about Mike Riley. I don't think Caldwell can stick around. <br /><br />Eric, that wouldn't shock me if he had a word limit. I think that is unfair to Peter. If you look at his older MMQB they were of equal quality, but not as long. I wish they would let him make it as long as it needs to be.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-61340358326959443152011-12-21T11:11:49.218-05:002011-12-21T11:11:49.218-05:00"Is Peter aware that he can delete things on ..."Is Peter aware that he can delete things on a computer?

There's that much less actual research to do if he can pull 1/4 to 1/3 of his column out of his ass.Ericbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-18051955770393249012011-12-21T09:33:51.411-05:002011-12-21T09:33:51.411-05:00The 2000 San Diego Chargers went 1-15 and retained...The 2000 San Diego Chargers went 1-15 and retained Mike Riley for another year (3 years total).

In Pe...Rich, you would think Peter would know this. In Peter's defense, Tebow has been doing really well lately and he hasn't had time to pay attention to other NFL teams. <br /><br />Peter is aware you can delete things from your computer, but he prefers to write like that. Not sure why. Also, it doesn't matter if the Giants are the worst home team b/c they will be a WC team and most likely have all their games on the road. <br /><br />There is no way Caldwell isn't gone after this year. Jimmy Johnson excluded, there isn't any way a coach who has been with a team for longer than a year gets away with a 1-15 season and doesn't get fired. <br /><br />Here's how you find the nearest NY city Starbucks.

I always thou...Jack, I don't like Haley either. I always thought he was too hot-headed and emotional to get a coaching job at this point in his career. Peter is supposed to know stuff like that and I doubt he wanted to stick with Palko either. I had forgotten Orton had dislocated his finger. <br /><br />Eric, that's a good point. I would say the reason he stayed around is because it was only his first year as the Cowboys head coach and it was clear the Cowboys were rebuilding. Other than that, good call. I wonder if there are any more? <br /><br />I missed that one too. It is all about the Broncos defense when they lose, but when the Broncos win it is because of Tebow magic. Can't believe I missed this. I think this sums up the media's attitude toward Tebow pretty well. The defense doesn't get all the credit when the Broncos win, but when they lose it is the defense's fault.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-25864829334540257272011-12-20T15:01:12.300-05:002011-12-20T15:01:12.300-05:00You missed this choice comment:

Haley pulled Palko against the Bears, Orton came in, and promptly dislocated a finger on his throwing hand on the first play he was in. I don't think Haley wanted to stick with Palko, I think he was forced to. His only other option was Ricky Stanzi. Isn't Peter supposed to know shit like this?jacktotheracknoreply@blogger.com
