A Few NFL Thoughts

It was a really wacky year in the NFL this year. It's amazing how interesting Parity can make the league; instead of blowouts week after week by select teams, many games actually came down to the final minutes. Congrats to to the Colts for having such a great year (going a franchise and league best 14-2).

I'm looking forward to the 49ers developing and becoming a little stronger next year. They finished 4-12 this year, winning their final two games of the season and showing improvement over last year's dismal 2-14 team.

I'm also looking forward to the Chargers next year. I thought that they would have done really well in this years playoffs, had they been in them. Unfortunately, owing to a couple critical losses to Dallas, Miami and Kansas City, the Chargers will be watching the playoffs from the sidelines.

Good luck to the fired coaches this year. Jim Haslett, Mike Tice, Mike Martz and Mike Sherman were all fired by their respective teams as of this posting. I'm sure they will all end up somewhere next year. That, or they can always start a band called the Three Mike's and a Jim.

Finally, a personal note to Brett Farve: please retire. You were one of my favorite Quarterbacks growing up. Don't soil my memory of your legacy.
