What
a depressing weekend in sports. I know my teams have tough schedules, but when
my college and NFL football are not even in the game, it’s embarrassing. Losing
is nothing new for the fan bases of the University of Tennessee and for the Washington
Redskins, but losing this season stings more than past seasons.
The
University of Tennessee was crushed in a 59-14 loss at Oregon. So much for duck
hunting the #2 team in the country and for shocking the world of college
football. What was more shocking is how terrible QB Justin Worley is. Sorry
kid, you may be the worst in Tennessee history. Yes, he can protect the ball,
but it’s clear that he can’t make big plays. I’ve never wanted a freshman QB to
step up more in my life. Start warming up Riley Ferguson and Josh Dobbs, we
need one of you to figure this out.
The
Washington Redskins were embarrassing, again against the Packers. How bad does
the first half have to be for Coach Mike Shanahan to pull RG3 and put in
Cousins? Why does Kyle Shanahan still have a job? What does the offence do all
week? Practice was not on their to-do list.
There
are so many issues with our game/team/play calling right now, but what really
makes me mad is what happened after the game! We know that RG3 missed all of
the preseason games and was rehabbing his ACL instead of practicing with the
team and we know he was cleared by Dr. Andrews to play in game one of the
season. I appreciate Coach Shanahan supporting Robert, however to say “I think he’s really doing a good job, for
not having team practices and then coming back in the tick of things, you know
it’s going to take time for everybody to get on the same page and timing to get
where we want to get”. I’m sorry, all I heard was HE’S NOT READY TO PLAY
AND IT’S COSTING US GAMES!
Even
if you are an amazing athlete, that’s not enough to play in the National
Football League. You have to be NFL ready and RG3 clearly isn’t NFL ready.
Robert
said he will be hard on teammates if they want him to be, but he’s not an a- -
hole and believes in positive reinforcement. The difference between Robert and
I is that I’m okay with being called an a- - hole.
Here’s
my positive reinforcement; figure this out now or soon you will be another disappointing
QB in the history of the Washington Redskins. When you step on to that field
you are telling everyone that you are 100% ready to play. The first two games
have proven that you are not 100% or that you are not the same player you were
a year ago. We the fans want you to be that player you were last year and we
want that player for years and years to come. But the player that we’ve seen
the past two weeks is like reliving the past QB nightmare in Washington. If you
have to sit out to get better, we will support you through that. But if you
continue to play like this and say you are ‘ready’ then you should change your
name to Owen, because your record next week will be Owen – 3 (0-3).
The
only good part of the game was when the camera crew zoomed in on Aaron Rodgers
and his dreamy eyes looked right at me. We had a moment.
And
to add to the weekend of sports sadness, my Texas Rangers were swept by the
Oakland A’s in a must win series for a chance at post-season play.
But
the biggest audible for the weekend was seeing Justin Beiber walk in with Floyd
Mayweather and The Money Team before
“The One” on Saturday. Beiber is in Mayweather’s entourage? Stop it! This isn’t
real life!
