Sunday observations
Posted: Sunday, December 30, 2007 by Travis Cody inDance War premiers next Monday, January 7. I'm still not completely sure how this is going to work. As I understand it, Dancing with the Stars judges Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba will select two teams of all around performers...read that as singers and dancers. These teams will take coaching from Tonioli and Inaba, competing for...something. I don't know what.
I do know that Pam and I will be watching. It's got dancing! There may or may not be reviews. We'll have to see.
The Seahawks are playing lousy. We are not surprised by this. They have been inconsistent all season. Atlanta players are playing for pride and jobs. It shows.
Houston is spanking Jacksonville, which kind of sucks because I think the Jaguars are the scary team heading into the playoffs. See why the final week of the season is so tough to pick winners? I don't think Jacksonville played its starters for very long, but still...who wants to get blown out in the last game of the season?
Seattle sat the starters in the second half and Atlanta took advantage. I'm thinking it's a good thing the Seahawks have one home playoff game, otherwise I'd pick them to go out in the first round. They still might. If it's the Redskins, Seattle will be facing a team that is now healthy and with a powerful emotional motivator (the tragic and vilolent death of Sean Taylor). If it's the Vikings, the Seahawks will face one of the best running games in the league.
So defense is out the window for both Seattle and Atlanta. The teams combined for about 900 yards of offense.
Hey! Here's something cool. I get double headers on both CBS and FOX today. Plus I get to see my Raiders for the last time this season, with JeMarcus Russell getting his first NFL start.
Oh geeez! So much for being excited about getting the Raider game. On the first play from scrimmage Russell just threw an interception on a little screen pass.
**sigh**
Let this be a lesson to all of next year's draft picks. Sign your damn contract and get into camp! The NFL is not college. Players are bigger and faster and they don't care what you did in college. Get in camp, get your reps in, and work hard. That's your job.
Later babies.
Television and sports. Sigh. I know nothing of either. Have a great day Travis. :)
