Before, it was a circus, but now it's a zoo. All week, Jaworski has been planting Moss statements questioning his effort and heart. It's just a setup for the MNF broadcast. There's only one reason to bring this dope (Shula) on, and it's to get him to say something controversial in the hopes of boosting ratings and having something to report on ESPN.com. Wonder if they'll remember there's a football game being played. I'm now planning on how I can turn down the sound and substitute a radio broadcast, as I'm out of the New England area and need to find a national radio feed.
Give me the freakin' Sunday 1pm games. I long to get back to a simpler world . . .
The NFL doesn't make any money, the owners of the teams do. Bob Kraft, along with every other owner, is compensated well for those games in the form of huge TV contracts. I don't think they mind playing in primetime.And considering all the money the NFL has no doubt made off the Colts and Dallas games broadcast ratings, and now 3 straight prime time games, I wonder if they'll give NE and Belichick back those fines they were hit with.
If we look at this from an economic standpoint, and we consider some of the games televised on MNF so far this season, the conclusion is that they'll do anything to pump up the interest, and they're hoping this game turns out to be a contest like the Eagles game on Sunday night. Some of the blowouts this season on MNF:Don't forget that Jaws is a Philly guy. That has got to figure in as well.
I am liking the bulliten board material from Jaws though...I wish more would keep talking...
50 point win plus a snowplow.
Don't worry, the stirring of the proverbial pot will increase geometrically the closer the Pats get to perfection. Locker room material will be about as hard to find as finding Packman Jones in a strip joint. Locker room material guaranyeed. Stay tuned.
