Chad's a Nitwit and other NFL News

Last night's Monday Night Football game is once again a classic example of why football is a great sport. Having all the earmarks of a classic "trap" game, the New England Patriots sitting on twelve wins probably did not think it would take much to defeat the 2-11 Miami Dolphins last night. The Fish had other plans however, and stunned the Pats 29-28. Does this happen in other sports? A team that is eliminated from post-season play comes along and soundly beats the team that many pundits believe has the inside track to win the Superbowl. A game that should have been a snoozer made Base10 (and many others for that matter) stay up until the wee hours to watch the end. Truly a great game!

Of course it makes one wonder about the Jets. Had they beaten Pittsburg two weeks ago, and facing New England next week, Gang Grean I believe would have won the tie-breaker and could have taken the division. Oh well.

Of course last weeks Jets-Steelers game had other strange effects. Chad Pennington, at least momentarily, lost his mind. Chad went on a tirade in front of the press at the Monday's press conference. Chadwick apparently refused to meet with reporters after the Seattle win because he was peeved about the way the press treated him after the Steeler's loss. Chad, this is childish. This is New York City. It wasn't just the media questioning your ability to win a big game, it was your fans, dude! Do yourself and your team a favor, get over it and concentrate on winning next week. If you want people to stop suggesting you can't handle big games, go out and win one!

In other news, Philly fans are dealing with the crushing news that Terrell Owens will be out at least until the Superbowl. Will the Eagles make their usual swoon at the NFC Championship game? Only time will tell. Click here for the story.
