… “How the hell are the Chiefs in first place in their division?”
…Jacksonville was saying to Atlanta, “See, I told you so,” when Byron Leftwich got hurt.
… “Hey, gimme that plasma TV! It’s only gonna get burned up in the fire,” when seeing LT’s commercial on MNF.
… “Ricky, where are ya, man?” when Ronnie Brown went down.
…they should let the Chargers go to London instead of the Giants, since their stadium is being used at the moment?
…the Cardinals should trade for Jason Elam?
…Randy Moss is singing the Toby Keith tune, How Do You Like Me Now?

What The Hell Is Wrong With NFL Management?
It is clear to me that the decision-makers in the NFL are smoking crack.
The San Diego Chargers fire a 200 win coach with a 2006 record of 14 and 2, and hire a new head coach who has basically floundered when coaching from a team's top spot. I am referring, of course, to Marty Schottenheimer and Norv Turner, respectively.
Ron Rivera, the defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears, took his team to the Super Bowl based solely on his number 2 ranked defense, was fired. Yep, fired. It certainly wasn't the quaterbacks coach that put the team in the Super Bowl, it was Ron's unit. So, how do you reward great performance? Simple--give 'em the ol' pink slip.
If you're the Detroit Lions, the opposite is true. When you suck, and your team loses every year since G-dub's administration, fire every coach and keep the President. If this is the "What have you done for me lately" league, then, I ask you, "Why the fuck does Matt Millen still have a fucking job?" I know I would be fired from my job for much less if my performance were anywhere near his.
It is true that anyone, or any team, can do anything on any Sunday in the NFL. Upsets and record-setting have been rampant (due in part to parity--a good thing) these last few years. But if you are on a roll--one way or the other, why do something that will impact the team negatively? It's like dumping your girlfriend before she dumps you even though you both never fight and she gives you the best blowjobs you've ever had in your life. You'd have to be nuts.
Apparently, NFL teams would rather light the pipe than get, uh, head.
