Gregg Easterbrook, as always, hits several nails on the head in this week's Tuesday Morning Quarterback. Here are some of my favorite excerpts:
In other football news, before Sunday's Arizona-San Francisco contest, many Cardinals players experienced anxiety attacks...It seems Cardinals players were disoriented and frightened to look up and see the home stands full of people.
One of the questions on the Eagles cheerleaders bio pages is, "What can you never say no to?" The most common answer is "Chocolate." Strangely, not a one of the cheerleaders responds, "Football columnists."
Sweet Play of the Week No.3: Game scoreless, Pittsburgh goes for it on fourth-and-1 on the Miami 39...4 yards and the first down, and the Steelers record the game's first touchdown on the possession.
[I predicted TMQ's reaction to that play as it happened]
TMQ also agrees that Note Dame's fake punt called when they were already hammering Penn State 27-3 late in the 3rd quarter was bad football karma. Beware ye who will offend the football gods by running up the score! Notre Dame will get theirs, just wait...
Read the whole of TMQ here.
"[I]f we fail, then the whole world,…all that we have known and cared for…will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that…men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'”
