The Three Kings.......
After watching the Dolphins self destruct in epic fashion I can only wonder if Tony Sparano and the Dolphin defense were eating some of Ricky Williams "special brownies". The term mental lapse doesn't begin to describe just how awful their collapse was. At 24-3 I was fielding calls from collegues and fellow degenerates: "what a pick, boy was this game a lock! I only wish I took the Dolphins $$$line". Word of advice- next time anyone prematurely congratulates you during a game follow these simple steps: 1) berate that person for violation of gaming etiquette. No true gamer is dumb enough to count their $ before the bet comes in. 2) Immediately end the friendship right on the spot (unless of course the team ends up winning). 3) Blame all future bad luck on that person going forward. Think of it as a "lifetime mulligan". Now to the Monday Night Game. The Eagles are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Raiders in a game where they made Jemarcus Russell look like a good NFL Quarterback. The Redskins are a complete mess and have a coach who has absolutely no control over any of his coaching responsibilities. This should be an easy win for the Eagles right?......Here's the problem. This past week saw the two worst NFL coaches win big- Wadeface and Norv turner. If good things come in threes, then Jim Zorn is the last piece of this twisted puzzle. Tonight's play is the Redskins +8. What could be a more poignant moment than seeing coach Zorn make his best Wade phillips face as his team jumps offside on the last play to give the Eagles another shot at winning the game on a last second field goal?
