I love all this head coach culling round this time of year, makes all the sackings in the Premier League look ordinary.

You know what I wanna see? Coach trades. Post-season only. "We want rid of Rod Marinelli, so we'll give him to you in exchange for Mike Shanahan. We'll throw in a couple of leftover Ford Focuses we can't sell to save our bleepin' lives."

The Associated Press named Chad Pennington as Comeback Player of the Year for 2008. How many times can Chad Pennington come back? I'm pretty sure this is his 2nd award in the past 3 years.....

HUMBUG. He won it after 2006 because he was coming back from his second throwing-shoulder rotator cuff surgery. He won this year by coming back from being a bad quarterback on a bad team. This is bullcrap. I'm tired of athletes who win an award based on having previously succeeded, but more recently been bad.

A source told the NY Daily News that it's "doubtful" the Jets will pursue Mike Shanahan to fill their head-coaching opening.
The Washington Post believes DeAngelo Hall will get a contract worth $48 million over six years from the Redskins, with $12 million guaranteed.

The Associated Press named Chad Pennington as Comeback Player of the Year for 2008. They should rename it the "Chad Pennington Award" since the guy keeps having one bad season and then a really good season, and then a bad season, etc,etc...

Yeah, apparently coming back from a bad season is more comebacky than coming back from Tommy John surgery and leading your team to a 12-4 record. DELHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMME!

Shanahan was fired because he wouldn't fire defensive coordinator Bob Slowik.

I am really interested to see who Denver gets. If Gary Kubiak was still there, he would be the obvious replacement but, had he not left, we may not have been in the trouble we are now.
I would suspect we're going to bring in a defensive minded coach but, we also now need a GM. It's going to be an interesting season next year.

Odds are it'll be like last year and this year, just more of a clusterf***...
