2010 – Happy New Year

These are my quick hit thoughts from the weekend.

Bill Polian and the Colts need to change their strategy for sitting players at the end of the season. It turns out losing games at the end of the season does matter. They have one Lombardi Trophy with possibly the greatest quarterback ever. Under Tony Dungy they won the 06 Super Bowl when they were the number 3 seed and played out the entire season working for home field advantage to the bitter end. This year they have a shot at immortality and decided it's not for them. Than in week 17 ran there starters out to capture some individual marks. The message is confusing and has clearly worked, I don't get it at all.

Washington Redskins – be careful what you wish for. Jim Zorn is a goner and the rumor on the streets is Mike Shanahan in the next coach in waiting. Need I remind you he has zero playoff wins without John Elway and Co. I’m just not sure he’s the guy to turn that franchise around. Looking at the big picture the Redskins are Raiders East. Sure he got the Broncos over the hump but John Elway already had 3 Super Bowl appearances under his belt before Shanahan arrived.

Pittsburgh Steelers got what they deserve, a vacation down in old Mexico. They lost to the Bears, Chiefs, Raiders and Browns. Almost lost to the Lions and could have easily lost to the Packers and Dolphins. The defense without Polamalu is above average but not elite. Nothing they can ride to the Super Bowl. The Steelers need the big hair to rub some of that shampoo on his knee and get it right for next season.

Gilbert Arenas. Really you’re a “goof ball”? It’s not funny and you’re an idiot at times. Kids look up to you Agent Zero!! You shouldn't’ make light of the situation. Part of me wishes the Wizards find fault and dismiss him from his contract. Not because he brought a gun to the work (ok maybe because he brought a gun to work) but because he won't take responsibility for his actions, at least not publicly.
