http://www.pigskinheaven.com/gallery/files/7/Turf-Toe.gif There are so many good stories to tell, so many strategical battles to uncover, and all those wonderful little fuzzy things that people over analyze in the journalistic world of football. This article will be none of those things, as we will discuss whatever is truly the story of the week, we may do it seriously, or we may poke some fun at the topics as we go, one thing I promise you though, it will be a fresh take on what is happening in the NFL. Sit back relax your mouse fingers and read up on what is going on this week around the NFL, and maybe its your team to fall under the microscope....or maybe I will just pick on the game, the players or the equipment, great googly moogly I do hate equipment.....

Opening salvo's:
Too much media at the Superbowl, to dang much, to, to, much, its so bad you have reporters interviewing reporters on how they will interview players. You have international hand puppet questioners, You even have American Idol rejects asking players to sing baseball anthems with them, Hey Rex Grossman and the Bears, if that crap is RESPECT you can have it.

Wild coaching speculation, so and so is the front runner, "they gotta give this guy a contract" they this, they that...man if I could get paid well to guess, I would be in heaven, maybe I am just suffering from media envy.

Can't wait for wild Mock draft and free agent speculation to begin, so we can get back to the normal lunacy that is the NFL.

Breaking fabrication:
T.O. to join the Bears, it would be a perfect fit, he is in Miami this week talking about getting "no respect" too.....

Ban-able phrases:
These are things I want to hear no more
"It is what it is"
"great competetior"
"read our keys"
"The (fill in the blank) is a great team/player/coach "
"Monkey/Gorilla on anyones back"

Heart of the Matter:
The Common man has been systematically removed from the biggest game of the year. The clash of the Titans for the upper class. Yeah, you have heard it before, lets hold the championship game in a neutral location, charge hundreds and thousands for seats that during the season barely crest $100......still to cozy for the common man, well lets take it up a notch, don't tailgate either, no one wants a bunch of true fans painted in team colors and playing parking lot games from the backs of their modified school busses....that is too pedistrian, lets call it national security reasons, after all we have lost a lot of service men at the hands of midwestern Brautwurst chefs, dressed as NFL fans. COME ON NFL, where is our game? Americas game?

Crunked Says:
I am putting it down but I don't see how I can write about it now:
The SUPER BOWL media overload, .....here comes the quote: "come on people these guys are analyzing the analysis of an analysts that they have yet to analyze....."

The best-the worst-the ugliest of the week

Best
The ethnic barrier being broken in the Super Bowl by two very classy coaches, there is no room for prejudice anymore in the world. The NFL lucked out to have the two most shining examples of humanity be the first two men to break the color barrier.

Worst
Dhani Jones, Terrell Owens, Chris Chambers, Tony Sarigusa...just to name a few. Making the radio talk show rounds to everyone and anyone that would put them on air. Why? they were all peddling something, yup corporate sponsorship paid them to be spokesmen for this that and the other, all for the love of money, and why not have a football guy do it, the media get big names to interview, the sponsor gets to plug its product to every market and the players get a handsome check for their trouble. Yeah I know captialism at its best, making a buck yadda, yadda, yadda...to me its corporate prostitution these guys will say and feel anyway you want for money.

Ugliest

Now these very same men, many of whom are in their 60's and poor health are living on the lofty NFL pension of $30 a week. Gene you just raked in the biggest revenue sharing accord in the history of organized sports, and you can free up $30 a week for the men who built what your greedily stand on. Shame on you Gene, you are the ugliest face of the NFL this week.

Gotta agree about Upshaw. It's sick to see the way John Mackey and his wife have to lead their lives. There's no money at all to cover John's immense needs, and Upshaw feels fine with that. Hell, he already gave the NFL his life, what need do they have with him?

The thing that really chaffes my muffin about it is, there are not that many of these guys left, its not like he would have to pension out half of north america, its a select few that would benefit from some NFLPA generosity... even a special dispensation to those guys if he didnt want to go through the political wranglings of setting up a larger pension would be a good PR move, and quite civil, I don't get why he just turns his back on them.
