Football Headlines

So, do you think the latest O.J. story will gone on for a while? Consider this an early Christmas present for Nancy Grace and Geraldo Rivera.

Bill Belicheck is in t-r-o-u-b-l-e. Mr. NFL Commissioner not too happy with what he did in stealing coaching signals. A very stupid move on his part. Belicheck said in a press conference that he's said all he's going to on the subject. Not so fast, I imagine there may be more to come on this one and this could really taint his legacy of 3 Super Bowl wins.

The Arizona Cardinals lost in week 1 because they couldn't recover a fumble. They won this week because of a bonehead play by the Seahawks, fumbling a snap as they drove for the winning field goal. Finally, they are on the right side of a lucky break. If they can keep it going, this could maybe, just maybe, be an interesting year for them.

I heard Notre Dame Coach Charlie Weiss speak at a luncheon back in the spring. Talked about how he and his wife were truly dedicated to planting their roots in South Bend and staying here for a while and being dedicated to giving back to the community. He'd better be careful not to plant those roots too deep, because the fans may be getting out their lawn equipment to pull out some weeds real soon. Weiss says that "God should strike me dead" if he ever uttered the words that this was a rebuilding year. I guess he views an 0-3 start with a total of 10 points scored and not one offensive touchdown as being on the verge of something great. Hmm, wonder if he helped steal signals while he was with the Patriots?
