Sportswriters Descend to the Level of Political Pundits

Somerby notes the unfortunate parallels: Undying love of conventional wisdom: Many sports pundits have seemed genuinely angry about the fact that Belichick did something unconventional. (Trent Dilfer, come on down! And take your meds!) In political journalism, the pundit class is often happiest when They All Get To Say The Same Thing. In this case, many sports pundits came unhinged because one of the...

Bill Belichick's 4th-And-2 Call Against Colts Debated, Derided (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post (Free subscription) | 11/16/2009

Bill Belichick's decision to try for a first down on 4th-and-2 late in Sunday night's game against the Colts is drawing lots of criticism. With a six-point lead and the ball on their own 28-yard line with 2:08 remaining, the Patriots elected to go for the first down. Brady completed a short pass to Kevin Faulk, who appeared to catch the ball past the first-down line, but did not establish possession...

View full size photo » In 1996, the Bucs started to turn their fortunes around as the defense developed into the historically dominant entity it became.

Joe has made it abuntantly clear he is not a BSPN-kinda guy (though Jenny Dell has somewhat opened his mind). One of the reasons Joe hates BSPN is the agenda those clowns always have, and always pound the same half-dozen teams down a viewer’s throat. So Joe generally stopped watching years ago, sans for college football [...]

How many songs can I sing with Jeff Hostetler and Trent Dilfer in the lyrics? Many, as the Brett Favre fans at the pole found out yesterday. Gotta give it up for the do-rag though, he was a good sport aboot it. Has anyone here mentioned my exceptional pool playing abilities? Been a while since I blogged about silencing an entire bar with incredible shot after incredible shot. Victory is mine, Godfather....

On This Day Video- Bucs (WIN'?) 6-3 despite Dilfer.

Buc 'Em (Free subscription) | 10/24/2009

Rocky days for Trent Dilfer . Gone were the feel good months from the end of 1996 through the end of 1997. He started to show his true colors in the '98 season, and by '99 he was downright riot-worthy for the Bucs defense. Dilfer was benched after this game, in which he overthrew a wide open Warrick Dunn in the endzone. Fans Booed relentlessly, and Dungy pulled the plug.

New Yahoo/Tebow: Tebow As Dilfer 2.0

Dan Shanoff (Free subscription) | 10/13/2009

Just wanted to point you to my latest Yahoo column about Tim Tebow, comparing him to Trent Dilfer and extolling the virtues of the QB as "game manager." Hopefully, it makes you think differently about Tebow -- as different as the new context he's playing in. Check it out here . -- D.S.

Sunday 10/11 (Tebow) Quickie

Dan Shanoff (Free subscription) | 10/11/2009

Read the post below (or check out TimTeblog ) for my take on Tebow's return last night. But needless to say, the real story of the game is how jaw-droppingly good Florida's defense was/is. Last night's game affirmed the Gators are the favorite to win the national title because of their D -- not unlike the Ravens winning the 2000 Super Bowl: Amazing D, "game-manager" QB. (Yes, I just compared...
