Re: Ron Borges Picks the PATS!!! I don't think Borges is especially knowledgeable about football. He covers multiple sports, and he made his name originally with his boxing coverage, and even there he has been found lacking. He has a melodramatic, operatic style, which can be effective...

Schottenheimer might not be in Belichick's league -- after all, his postseason record, with multiple teams, speaks for itself -- but I'm not sure the Chargers could have replaced him with anybody better. After next season, perhaps they'll replace him with Bill (Chin) Cowher.

I think he still has intensity and passion for fights he can win. He's at a disadvantage coaching for Jerry (Botox) Jones. I was surprised when Parcells took that job, but I think he's had enough of the circus now. Jones is a younger version of Al Davis, and that's not a good thing.

It will depend entirely on how he feels about another season with Jerry Jones and Terrell Owens. That's not a good recipe for anybody's health.

Drew does not hold for field goals. It is beneath him. He's still the starting quarterback, you know, if only in his mind.

I agree that Light is average at best in pass protection. Without help from a tight end, he gets beaten consistently on the outside by speed rushers. He just isn't quick enough or strong enough to repel the attack. There's no reason to expect he'll be any better after a severe injury. The...

The Pats have been successful, so perhaps Kornheiser is assuming the success has gone to their heads. Like you say, it's nothing to get irate about.

Usenet was getting ugly, that's for sure. When my service provider stopped providing access to an NNTP server, I just thought it was time to seek a higher level of football discourse. I see some familiar names, so I'm hoping they will help me make the transition toward enlightenment and...

I don't think he's coming back. I know he likes the limelight and the media attention, but I think he's serious when he says he's leaning toward retirement. With the state of that team in Green Bay, he'd just be subjecting himself to another miserable season, replete with more interceptions...

I don't think he mumbles, but he's not exactly animated or exuberant. His speaking manner reminds me a bit of Bob Newhart.

Yes, indeed. This looks like the place to be.

Schottenheimer Sr. often gets his teams into the playoffs -- then the wheels fall off.

It seems unlikely that they'd cut him. He is getting older and the injuries were a problem this past season, but it's difficult to envision them picking up anybody better, at least for next season, through the draft or free agency.
