One Liners

* Sorry about the infrequent posts recently. Internet access has been sporadic with the family on the Cape and the holidays have tied me up. Things should get back to normal next week. Since I only have 25 minutes to get this out this morning it's one liners only.

- Tom O'Brien is the worst game day coach in competitive football. He committed the cardinal sin of trying not to lose rather than trying to win in yesterday's MPC Computers Bowl. He and the Eagles had a chance to prove that they did not belong in the Smurf Turf Bowl, they failed and it is his fault. He should be fired.

- WEEI Correspondant on Boise, "The only way I can describe it is to say that it's like Worcester with mountains."

- The Patriots are better off with the 4th seed in the AFC. Pittsburgh is playing better than Jacksonville and the matchup of David Garrard against Tom Brady is a laugher. Also, you want to get to Indy as soon as possible, you do not want to give them a game to pull it together. Dungy's son's death was a tragedy but football is heartless, get to Indy while they are down.

- The end of Monday Night Football on ABC is irrelevant. Everything that is under copyright with ABC is under the same umbrella with ESPN in the Disney Corp.. If you have cable, and almost everyone does the product will look remarkably similar.

- I need a mole in the Patriots organization. "Tedy Bruschi has a leg injury." No kidding, we all saw his leg get tweaked. How bad is the injury? Will he play against Miami / in the playoffs? What the heck is actually hurt down there? Clearly Larry Lucchino is not running the Patriots or every detail would have been leaked to the Globe from the sideline.

- NFL Live basically called Eli Manning a pussy last night. They were pointing out his completion percentage (51%) and saying that his accuracy is affected by his fear of getting hit by the pass rush. Did someone on the Easily the biggest Suckups to Peyton Network (ESPN) say something bad about a Manning? Mark down the date.

- Can we please stop talking about who is playing quarterback for the Bears? Who cares, that offense stinks regardless of who is taking the snaps and the defense is only totally dominant against weak NFC competiton. They will be watching from the couch by mid-January. I can't believe so many hours of my life have been wasted listening to people talk about Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton and an overrated defense.

- Remember when Matt Millen once hit a guy with his helmet after a game? Yeah he's the GM of the Lions. Any questions?

- Millar is literally blaming WEEI for the dismantling of the Red Sox. Ah, Kev for you it's your horrendous batting average and inability to ever get a big hit. For the rest of the team its the axis of arrogance.

- Manny and Clement for Tejada is a TERRIBLE deal. Manny is far better than Tejada and then you throw another player on top of that? Someone should be trading the Red Sox their entire team for Manny not the other way around.

- Can you imagine Gil Mesh and Jeremy Reid patrolling Fenway next season? Get used to it, and also say goodbye to Jon Lester. Now they've allowed their entire team to come unglued and are forced into trading a huge prospect for two bums. Nice work Larry.

- FIRE TOM O'BRIEN! PLEEEEEEAAAASSEEEE! He could give BC an opportunity to lose to Boise State! Oh wait HE ALREADY DID THAT! His inability is unparalleled!
