Comments on: SATURDAY MORNING ONE-LINERS http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/05/saturday-morning-one-liners-6/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Tue, 02 Dec 2008 23:54:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: pdyerosu http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/05/saturday-morning-one-liners-6/#comment-51613 pdyerosu Sun, 06 Jul 2008 19:04:39 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/05/saturday-morning-one-liners-6/#comment-51613 Florio, I completely agree with your take on Childs Walker's story o Fare and the media. Walker tries to compare Favre's retirement to those of Montana, Marino and Elway. He says there was never speculation about whether they would return or retire. He's right. But it is because they made one announcement that they were retiring. They didn't ponder it for three or four offseasons. Their agents didn't come out and say they might want to come back, even if they did have those thoughts. The media covers what they are hearing. If Favre doesn't want these rumors circulating, all he would have to do is state that he is retired, end of story, and tell his agent to stop talking about him coming back. If Favre and Cook would stop talking, the media would stop writing. Florio, I completely agree with your take on Childs Walker’s story o Fare and the media.

Favre has made it clear that the rumors behind his "coming back" are all ridiculous, yet everyone is still running with it. Coming up with rumors and theories that rival High Times. Hell, even my Vikings and the Bears writers have articles welcoming Favre; seems as though every wanna-be, low-class writer has some retarded theory as to what they think Favre will do. But in the end it becomes pretty clear: This whole thing is why players avoid talking to the media.

Doesn't Scruggs remember how Barry Switzer became head coach? BTW, is Newy related to Earl Scruggs of Flat and Scruggs (most people would recognize one song they did - the theme to Beverly Hillbillies).

I'd say the seat is quite warm. Phillips' laissez-faire coaching style is wonderful when you win and all you have to do is go to the podium and make a couple of aw-shucks comments to the press, but I've always wondered how he would handle adversity with his current group of characters if adversity presented itself. I predict not well. If the Cowboys don’t win a playoff game - something they haven’t done in 11 seasons and counting - Wade will be fired. I’d say the seat is quite warm.

Come on, training camp is only two weeks away, then you'll have plenty of REAL news.

Grady's going to find out that when you a) aren't very good and b) have a new coach that needs to prove he can be tough on law breakers, that scholarship can evaporate quickly.

According to Florio these stories are caused by Favre's inability to make decisions and talk about them? Ha ha! He has made a decision and I'm sure the media would love for Favre to talk about it so they can write more stories and sell more drivel. Does Favre want to play again. Probably.
