Lamar “Space Cadet” Odom came through with 18 second half points and we swept the Celtics! Next up, The Cav’s and their undefeated season at home. So far we are 3-0 on a serious East Coast road trip. Pretty safe to say now that the Lakers are no longer a soft team! It’s going to be on in C-Town!
Kudos to my favorite college basketball coach who won her 1000th game last night against the University of Georgia. She is the only coach Tennessee has ever had, and her career has been nothing but stellar. I’ve read both her books and she is truly an inspiration to many.
The best thing about Summitt’s program is that she has a 100% graduation rate with her players. 100%! in over 30 years of coaching!
I remember when Magic Johnson used to talk about the competition between himself and other NBA superstars in the league. Not merely the in-game competition when they were competing against one another; but just other games around the league as the season goes on. For guys like Magic, it wasn’t an individual ego thing but a motivation to elevate his game to the highest level. When you are already better than 98% of the people you play against on any given night you have to tell yourself things to keep you from being bored. Such was the case with Magic, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, etc.
During a normal game time interview they would never admit it. But get Magic on a couch and he would readily admit that he would search the newspapers every day to see what Larry or Dominique Wilkins did the night before. “I’ll looked at the stats sheet and say, “Oh Larry got 35 last night? That means I’ll have to get 38 or 40.”
Jordan of course was the same way. He would tell himself that the other opponents didn’t respect his game and through that anger will himself to another spectacular performance. I’ll never forget the time the Bulls played a home and home against the then Washington Bullets. The first game in Chicago saw LaBradford Smith a kid who wanted to be Jordan score 35 against his hero. Jordan had a so-so game and afterwards they asked Smith about his performance in “stopping” MJ. Smith no dummy said, (paraphrasing) “Oh no! Nobody stops Michael. I just had a good game. I was fortunate that my shots went in. Michael is Michael. He’s the best.”
Still that didn’t stop Jordan. Just because the question was asked… the next night he torched Smith for 40 something fouling him out the game. He played with an angry scowl the entire game. He knew he was better than Smith so that wasn’t the point. He wanted to make sure everyone else knew it too.
These memories all came to me upon seeing Kobe Bryant put 61 on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden the other night. It was the most points scored by any Knicks opponent in The Garden’s history. The Knicks, blessed or not so blessed with a home schedule that called for the Lakers, the Cavaliers and the Celtics to come visit during the same week had to face the wrath of LeBron James a couple nights later. Of course James down played the situation saying he was not interested in records. I knew he was a damn lie. Every hoops junkie knows.
Magic had newspapers. Today’s generation has SportsCenter and Blackberry’s where their peeps text them with, “Man did you see what Kobe did?”
What does James do last night? He scored 52 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assist… making the first time in over 30 years since a guy had 50 points in a triple double. He scored 20 in the first quarter. Of course he was looking to match Kobe and even surpass his effort earlier in the week. Kobe and LeBron have been friends since James was in high school. They bonded even closer during the Summer Olympics in Beijing. Both understand the significance of performing well in the basketball Mecca that is MSG. No doubt James texted Kobe who was busy putting up 36 in a win in Toronto last night something like, “I’ll see your 61 and raise you 52 and a fu*&% triple double beeeeaach! How ya like me now?”
Kobe has enough problems, they have the Celtics tonight in Boston. And speaking of the Celtics… don’t think that Paul Pierce ain’t looking to put up mad numbers on the Knicks on Friday. Of course, he wont’ admit it.
Number 24 was feeling himself last night at Madison Square Garden the Mecca of basketball. He played one of the most spectacular games New Yorkers will see surpassing point totals of other Garden foes like Jordan and Miller.
His performance left former Knick star turned executive Allen Houston thoroughly inpressed and teammate Trevor Ariza saw it comin.
“He didn’t have any smiles, he wasn’t playing no games and he was out there to kill it. I seen it even before we got to the arena on the bus. He didn’t really say much. He was just focused.”
Still the team has to weather another extended absence of center Andrew Bynum who sustained another knee injury when Kobe fell on him a few days ago in Memphis.
Of course it ain’t no secret who I was pulling for in the big game. My girl/childhood friend Vonda came through and Fed-X’d my gear Saturday delivery from Tampa. So though I suffered horribly with the flu I was still in full effect with the rest of my terrible towel family. It was quite a game and quite the experience. Most Super Bowls are just hype compared to the game. But this one was like a Tom Clancy suspense novel down to the very end. With that I will add just a few thoughts.
** Jennifer Hudson (bless her heart) tore that National Anthem to pieces! I mean she took it to church without the stereotypical churchee flavor if you catch my drift. My voice quivered as I mumbled to myself, “Damn she sang that song!” Step aside Whitney!
** Ben Roethlisberger is a flat out stud. He played clutch football and whenever his team needed a big play, he delivered. He may not be pretty or have the style like some of the other big name guys, but there need not be another conversation about the top echelon quarterbacks in the league without his name being mentioned among them.
** Kurt Warner… nothing but respect brother. You took what the D gave you and wore us out. You never forced it to Fitzgerald but when the time came you didn’t miss.
** Larry Fitzgerald – all man, all business, all world. I don’t know that I ever saw a receiver beat a coverage and sprint past the safeties like Usain Bolt. But I did last night!
** Santonio Holmes – had all the moxie of Fitzgerald and was just clutch all night. That last catch was all pro and will be featured in Super Bowl films for ages to come.
** Mike Tomlin is a man’s man. He has a presence and he gets it. For a second year coach to take a team like the Steelers to the Super Bowl was just a tremendous feat. He totally gained the respect of the players and the community. He understands people, his opportunity and he is all business and all human at the same time. There is no doubt he will continue to gain respect and loyalty as he makes those better around him.
** As intense as that game was, I am glad it ended the way it did. For all of the talk of the Pittsburgh defense being #1 in the NFL, Arizona found a way to get over. And right at the end when it counted they scored with the quickness. It was the Steelers offense that had to deliver and they did. Did you notice as well that every Steeler touchdown came under review either by a Cardinal challenge or booth review? The first one they overturned should have been a score as well.
**Finally, The Pittsburgh Steelers, What an organization! The Rooney family really has it together. Since 1969 they’ve had a total of 3 coaches which shows a sense of stability not known in professional sports. They help enact the Rooney Rule which says that an NFL team has to at least interview a minority coaching candidate when they have an opening. Then they actually hire a minority candidate at the next opportunity. They are a shining example that diversity and inclusiveness are a combination destined to succeed. I am sure that Tomlin was hired because they felt he was the best candidate regardless of his color. But my point is that it’s not just talk with them. To Tomlin’s credit he had his presentation together and was able to get with a team steeped with tradition – one of the strongest and most well respected franchises in sports history. Mr. Rooney didn’t talk himself out of what he saw. Now they have an unprecedented 6 Super Bowl titles.
Two weeks is definitely enough time to wait around for the Super Bowl. For the teams, they get a chance to enjoy the moment and perhaps heal or recover a bit from a season full of hits. But for the media, they tend to run out of things to say and it get’s pretty redundant.
“Hey, did you know that Kurt Warner used to bag groceries?”
“Did you know Cardinals coach Ken Whiesenhunt used to coach the Steelers and wanted the job after Cowher retired?”
“Jerome Bettis is from Detroit,” and “Tyler Hansborough plays hard,” is tired of hearing it. But it is what it is. Such are the story lines that we have to listen to over and over again leading up to the big game. Normally I just stay away from it so I won’t get a case of Super Bowl Media Coverage Overkill.
I will readily admit that I am a die hard Steelers fan. I grew up adoring the black and gold as much as I did the purple and gold of the Lakers. I had the priviledge of meeting Bradshaw, Swan, Stallworth, Franco, Blier, Greene, Lambert, Blount, etc. as a kid on a hot training camp day in Latrobe, PA. I am in no way less impressed with this crew of Big Ben, Hines, Palo, and Farrior. I would love to see US get another ring for the other hand.
Still, I can’t hate on my man Larry Fitzgerald. He has mad game and went to the University of Pittsburgh. I am glad I already invested in his authentic #11 jersey a couple years ago. I’m sure I’ll rock it sometime this week as a show of respect that I have for him and the way he plays the game.
Generally, people in St. Louis still have plenty of affection for Warner. He brought us a Super Bowl victory and if it were not for Mike Martz outsmarting himself and freezing Marshall Faulk out of the next Super Bowl they played in we would have had another one. Kurt is definitely hot and feeling it right now and I don’t take that from him. Still I think he left St. Louis like a sucka. They were losing game after game, he threw pick after pick, and he led the league in fumbles ala Tony Banks. Yet instead of taking some responsbility for his bad play, he never did. Instead he whined about how the team seemed to not want him to read his bible at practice.
I was like, “Hell when you’re winning read all the scriptures you want. But if not, try the play book when your at Rams Park for practice.”
Same thing when he went to the Giants. He played like crap and never owned it. But when he’s winning, it’s Jesus this and Jesus that. Never Jesus when they lost, just excuses.
That’s my rant. Still you wouldn’t find many people that don’t think Kurt is a good guy. I am sure he is. And I am genuinly happy for him getting another crack at it.
Much love to my friends Vonda and her husband Sponce. I grew up with Vonda and we were together on that training camp trip as kids. Her and hubby own 4 Steeler season tickets at Heinz Field and they will be at the game on Sunday. (Hey V, I’m looking for my gear in the mail…. what’s up? )
Anyway, hardly no one I hear gives the Cardinals a chance. Most of the pundits are predicting a blowout. I can’t figure that one out. This may be the Cardinals first look at a title. And the Steelers have a great defense and 20 something guys from the last Super Bowl winning team on this one. Still the Birds are hot. Fitzgerald is playing out of his mind, and if Bolden is not fussing with his O cordinator on the sidelines, he can be a game breaker himself. I hope the Steelers aren’t believing the hype and expect to be in for a battle.
And so it is. My dad was a Big Red fan when the football team was here in St. Louis. He loved Terry Metcalf, Roy Green, Jim Hart, Dan Dierdorf, and Ottis Anderson. For years and years Bill Bidwill didn’t seem to care whether the team won or lost – only if they made money – much to the dismay of many loyal fans. I think a lot of them will root for the Cardinals on Sunday – Especially with that Warner connection. As I said, I am happy for them – but don’t get it twisted. I will have my terrible towel with me waving it in front of some TV set. My loyalties are with Mike Tomlin and the Steel City!
Even the president is with me on this one… I’m just sayin!
Enjoy the game everyone~
Hoops
By now many have heard of the girls basketball team in Texas who outscored a lesser opponent 100-0. The Covenant School, a private Christian school beat Dallas Academy like they were the, dare I say…. the Philistines. Later after refusing to offer an apology, the coach was fired. I happen to think it’s a good fire considering the circumstances.
As a sportsman, I appreciate competitiveness and playing hard. This isn’t the first time I have seen such a lop sided score. I remember when my high school girls team beat another local team 105-10. I don’t think you should tell kids to let up and not do their best either. However, what is equally important is the way in which one competes.
As a basketball official, I see a lot of blowouts. Sometimes one team is just more advanced than another. Some teams are more talented than others. It takes about two minutes or less to figure out whats going to happen. Pretty soon, the lead is so big that we won’t stop the clock on the whistles. With that said, a smart coach who gets it will not allow the best players to continue to dominate and humiliate the other team by putting on a full court defensive press or continuing to shoot three pointers. Sure he will let the stars start the game. Perhaps by the time they break a sweat they lead by 25. But then coach will take them out, put in the reserves and run a more conservative offense without a press. In some tournaments there are no pressing rules after a team leads by a certain amount. This is not necessarily the case in official high school play. But this is where intelligence should have taken over.
Instead of backing off, this jerk continues to have his team press and run fast breaks complete with three pointers. I wonder once it got to be 76-0, did he think the other team had a chance to come back?
When players are pros and getting a paycheck I got no problems with putting up big numbers. It’s bad karma in my opinion to throw Hail Mary’s in the fourth quarter of a football game if your up by 35. And MLB teams normally don’t steal bases past the 7th inning with a 5 plus run lead. If they do rest assured somebody is going to get a 100mph fast ball in the ass at some point. The players will police themselves. But when its amateur, the coaches need to show respect by restraint. He should have put his reserves in and if they still scored the same 100 by running a standard offense that did not call for three’s being hoisted like fireworks on the 4th of July, and they at least picked up the defense in the front court, then so be it. I wouldn’t advocate telling his players not to score. But there is a way to do everything. And putting it to some kids who haven’t won a game in 4 years who also happen to have learning disabilities is not making his team better.
I can tell you now that as an official, I would have stopped the game if the coach didn’t back the heck up. And if I were the other coach? Let’s just say I would have had a little something-something for him before that game was over.
Football
Meanwhile, in Kentucky a high school football coach has been charged with reckless homicide in the heat stroke death of one of his players. Initially I’m not too sure how I come out on this. The widow of former NFL player Korey Stringer just settled with the league after he died of the same thing a few years ago. Heat stroke is no joke, and training football players is unlike any training in sport. Traditionally, its not unusual at all for players to sweat and be worked into exhaustion during training camp situations. It’s summertime and temperatures are generally at their highest levels. Certainly guys like Lombardi, Bear Bryant, Bo Schembechler and the likes rode their players into oblivion they are revered for making tough men. I am sure it’s challenging for a coach to know when he is pushing a player too hard or how to recognize when a kid, especially a young kid really needs a break or is not giving his best.
Still I got to say that if it’s true that the player was not allowed to receive water on a hot and humid Kentucky day, that is a judgement that may cost the coach his freedom. I will be keeping an eye on the case as I don’t want to assume much of anything before the facts come out. Still, it’s pretty sad.
Torre
I am biased when it comes to Joe Torre and I though he was a smooth operator when he led the Yankees to several World Series titles, kept his cool within the media hot-bed capital of the world, while putting up with an owner who didn’t know when to shut up. I though he was shafted by the Yankees having to leave for the Dodgers especially when he was not mentioned at all during the ceremonies on the last day at the old Yankee Stadium. But this book deal where he supposedly talks about Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) being called A-Fraud by teammates, saying he was obsessed with Derek Jeter and that GM Brian Cashman was silent when he got run from NY is something I can’t wrap my brain around. Torre was legendary for being professional and keeping team business in the clubhouse even in the midst of turmoil. Just because he went to Los Angeles to manage, still he was the last guy I thought would go Hollywood and do a Phil Jackson tell all book. I mean, where does that get him? What does he get out of it? I am sure he was disappointed with A-Rod’s performance or lack thereof especially in the playoffs. Maybe he thought it cost him his job. But damn, don’t hate too much. Torre himself, be it successful with the Yankees, was horrible as manager of the Cardinals. And he didn’t do great with the Mets and Braves either.
Truth be told the Yankees took a chance on him in 96 and it worked out well for both parties. They went to the playoffs each year, and won four World Series titles. Torre got the benefit of managing several hall of fame players and he did a great job. But he also got a lot of credit and a lot of money from The Boss.
His Dodger team was just OK until Manny Ramirez made his way out west and put the entire city on his back. My thing is this.. if you’re going to do that book, do it when you’re still with the Yankees not after you leave. Now you just look like a bitter old man. I guess vanity gets to the best of us. I just thought Torre was above it.
Let me run down the math:
1. Jets coach Eric Mangini gets fired.
2. Bill Cowher says he is interested in talking to the Jets about a coaching position.
3. Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum says he’s not opposed to sharing duties with a coach like Cowher.
4. Bronoc’s Fire Mike Shanahan – who is beloved by owner Pat Bowlen and has been untouchable even in dark times before and after they won 2 Super Bowls.
5. Coach Cowher says he is no longer insterested in coaching the Jets.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. Cowher took a couple years off since leaving Pittsburgh. He has the itch again to coach. The Jets were ok… but not a storied franchise like the Steelers. But with big time dollars and GM duties, he could have done a Bill Parcells (Buy the groceries and cook the meal.) No way he goes to that cesspool of a team The Cleveland Browns. Denver siezes the opportunity and calls Coach Cowher.
Broncos – “Bill, you want some of this?”
Coach Cowher – “I can’t talk about that, you have a coach!”
Broncos – “Well we can take care of that.”
Coach Cowher – Well then call me back when you do.” click
It all makes sense. Like the Steelers, the Denver Broncos are an institution not just a team. They have a fan base across the country. Their seats are never empty. No one cares about the Rockies. This is yet another place where Cowher can be king.
The only coach with a name and reputation better than Shanahan’s at the moment is Bill Cowher’s. It’s a match made in Bronco heaven.
I waited for ESPN to make this connection last night. But because they are so controlled by the NFL’s marketing team, they wanted to wait so it won’t look so bad for the Jets. They didn’t want to have the appearance out there that there was a quid pro quo for firing Shanahan. So they will let it ride for at least 24 hours I suppose… maybe let the New Years bowl hype take over. That’s ESPN for you though.. a thoroughly predictable non-journalistic institution.
I called my friend Paula today. She, along with her husband Curtis and son Demetrius are from Denver and are die hard Bronco honks. She hadn’t made the connection yet – but was happy to hear the good news.
Since I love the Steelers, I can’t help but be happy for Cowher. He kept us relevant every year and gave us a Super Bowl. After taking some time off to enjoy his family, I ain’t mad at him!
I also have people in Pittsbugh who have four season tickets on the lower bowl at Heinz Field. I already called to get dibs on a ducket when the Broncos visit.
Happy New Year Denver!
I wonder if anyone has ever had as great a year as Candace Parker. Coming off a National Championship at the University of Tennessee in 2007, Parker let the Lady Vols to a second straight title before being the top pick in the WNBA draft. The Los Angeles Sparks went from worst to first and won the WNBA title in August. But it doesn’t stop there! Parker also led the US Olympic Team to an another undefeated record on their way to the Gold Medal.
Since high school Parker has won all sorts of personal awards. This year alone she was a Kodak All American, SEC Tournament MVP, John Wooden Award winner, ESPY Best Female Athlete, the WNBA Rookie of the Year and league MVP, and now AP Female Athlete of the Year. Candace is also a very engaging young woman who earned the respect of such veterans as Lisa Leslie who is a former WNBA champion and MVP herself. Normally a rookie that comes in with such accomplishments may not fit in as well as the veterans. But Candace has done the opposite. She can play with anyone and is a leader wherever she goes.
The future is bright for Candace Parker. Congratulations to her and other female athletes who aspire to excellence!
I grew up a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and as such hated the Dallas Cowboys. (Especially during the 80’s) But I came to appreciate the 90s version with the likes of Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Jay Novacheck, Nate Newton etc. A lot that love came for Irvin in particular because of my love for the U. (University of Miami) That was my college team during the glory days.
Anyway – since then I always felt it was good for the league if the Cowboys were good. And I haven’t liked or disliked them. But I have to admit that since Terrell Owens, (T.O.) is about to implode another team, I have come to root against Dallas.
I was glad when Baltimore beat that ass the other night. Now if the Eagles can do the same, I won’t have to suffer this child during the playoffs.
Some of this is Dallas’ fault too. Not just owner Jerry Jones who totally empowers this ridiculous behavior, but guys like Tony Romo the quarterback who won’t tell it like it is – that T.O. is whinny lil BEEaach who throws teammates under the bus during tough times! They continue to cover for this fool and it just feeds the monster.
Jason Garrett the offensive coordinator allowed a clandestine meeting to be held with Owens, and fellow receivers Patrick Crayton and Roy Williams, where Owens accused Romo and his boy TE Jason Witten of plotting to keep him from getting catches. This in spite of the fact that Owens leads the team in catches and touchdowns.
Former players Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders have never publicly called Owens out on his continuous team destroying tactics from calling Jeff Garcia gay when he played for the 49ers. Nor for throwing Donovan McNabb totally under the bus, starting a fight with Hugh Douglas – prompting the Eagles to send him home and be relegated to drive way push-ups for cameras while agent Drew Rosenhaus postured for this pathetic cancer of a teammate.
Next came the sleeping pills incident. (he took too many of them obviously in a fit of depression) Instead of dealing with whats wrong with the cat, they all covered it up and glossed it over. An example is in the aftermath of Pill Gate, his publicist said, Terrell has 25 million reasons to live.”
Earlier this year I knew for sure that T.O. was a selfish jerk when I saw him yelling at an assistant coach after a Dallas victory over Green Bay. It was a great win for the Cowboys, but Owens only had a few insignificant catches while other guys shined during a prime time nationally televised game. That told me this would be business as usual for T.O.
GO EAGLES! Please remove this dude from my sports page to begin the 09!
Boston Bustin Out on L-7
I got to give it up to the boys from Beantown. For any team to win a world title, only to come out and win 26 of their first 28 games including 18 straight! Talk about NOT resting on your accomplishments. This reminds me of the Bulls teams who won championships and managed to chase 70 wins the next couple years. Kevin Garnett is a beast.. making plays and making teammates cry on the bench. (Side note, I honestly think Garnett has this image of Hall of Famer Bill Russell looking at him evaluating his effort every night. He wants to please Russell like a kid wants to please his father. Garnett wants to live up to Russell’s standard. I think this is fueling his intensity even more to never let up.) Back to the rant…..
Paul “The Truth” Pierce ain’t lied yet, Ray is Ray – and Rajon Rondo looks like Tiny Archibald. If he continues to play the way he is, pencil these cats in the Finals in June. I got nothing but mad respect for the Celtics and the way they go about their business!
Can’t sleep on the Cavaliers though. Damn does LeBron James ball now or what? I haven’t been able to see ESPN’s First Take over the last few months but Skip Bayless may as well get up off of his nutsack cause dude is putting up MVP numbers. I hear Bron Bron is up to 274 pounds of 100% man now – and by FAR he is the fastest most athletic cat in an NBA full of fast and athletic cats. The Cavs are just waxing fools and Bron is putting on a rock concert not seen since dare I say…… MJ? It will be interesting to see how well the team does after the new year and specifically how they fare after the All Star Break. This is where we always separate the men from the boys in terms of who is seriously going to contend. Will Lebron’s legs give out on him? Remember he did spend the summer in Beijing winning gold. Only time will tell – but I am a believer.
Uhhhh which brings me to my boys the Los Angeles Lakers. They won last night in Memphis thanks to Kobe. My boy Blue drove his son down yesterday to see the Lake Show down 55 south, and will call me later for the details. They have one more game on the 4 games in 5 days road trip tonight against CP3 and the Hornets before that Christmas Day match-up against the above mentioned Beast of the East. They lost last Friday against the Heat and then followed that up with another uninspired performance against the Orlando Magic. All and all we are probably playing like the worst 22-5 team in the history of the NBA. I don’t have to talk about how bad the D is… I will let Lamar Odom speak for himself.
“It’s just like when we used to play against Phoenix two seasons ago. “We always felt like, ‘Oh, we’re going to get back in the game. They are playing an offensive style of basketball.’ I think that’s how teams right now might be looking at us. We’re not making it hard enough for teams, as far as around the basket, as far as our defense. At the beginning of the year, maybe the first seven or eight or 10 games, we had teams that quit. It was like, ‘This is too hard. We know we can’t stop them. And they’re making it hard for us on defense.’ Now, I feel like teams feel like we’re going to let them back in the game.”
Translation… Get the house in order fellas or you will be the Dallas Mavericks come playoff time.
In the “Don’t hate the playa” category, I got to send love to CC Sabathia the pitcher who inked a 7 year 161 million deal to don the pinstripes. I remember when we used to say that the CC stands for “Captain Cheeseburger” because of his weight. Now it stands for Cha Ching! The Yankees initially offered CC a 6 year deal worth 140 million, and it sat on the table for a month cause he really wanted to play on the West Coast – preferably for the Dodgers. Team LA wasn’t even close, and Artie Moreno the Angels owner had his eyes on Mark Teixeira. (The Yankees signed Teixeira for 8 years 180 mil today – Maybe CC needs to have his deal re-worked!) The Yankees then added another year with an even 23 million per. (9 million signing bonus) And please, spare me the economy talk. Any one of us would take it if we could throw the rock like him and someone offered it to us. I ain’t mad at you brother!
The Story of the Year!
This is the story that has me the most hyped for 2008. No, its not Michael Phelps and his 8 gold medals. That’s nothing compared to the feat the Gridiron Gang from Motown is about to pull off. A PERFECT SEASON…. in reverse. That’s right for the first time in NFL history a team is flirting with backwards perfection: an 0-16 season. Detroit is a tough town… the Pistons have rings, and Tigers have had their ups and downs but were in the World Series a few years ago. The Red Wings dominate! Now the Lions are about to make their mark. Just one more tank job against the Packers this Sunday and its a done deal.
Memo to Lions Players: Anybody can go 1-15. That’s not what you’re after. Finish the job. I know you are not the worst team in football cause if you were playing the Rams you would smash them. But still, this is no time for semantics and nitpicking. Man down. Roll over. Make history! Quit for godsakes! Remember what Kevin Garnett said after he finished his season….. “Anything is possibleeeeeeeeeeeee.
