Off The Net -- September 11, 2022

The Dallas Cowboys are not impressing me. Later: Dak Prescott "out" for several weeks due to "broken thumb" requiring surgery. Well, there goes someone's Fantasy Football season. And Aaron Rodgers isn't doing too great either. 

The Dallas Cowboys: the only NFL team to NOT score a touchdown in the opening week.

The Dallas Cowboys: the only NFC East team not to have won in the opening week. After first week:

Belichick vs Brady: I may have this wrong, but it seems I read any number of stories debating whether the credit goes to Belichick or Brady for the success of the New England Patriots. It appears to me that the credit goes to Brady. 

Vikings: perhaps the most entertaining / best Sunday game. Packers vs Vikings. The best part: a true regional rivalry. The fans must have loved it. Well, at least some of the fans.

NASCAR: Bubba Wallace won the NASCAR race today. Even NASCAR doesn't interest me much right now. 

Market: I'm too excited about the market. I'll be up early.

Good luck to all.

On another note: https://twitter.com/search?q=%22Walter%20Reed%22&src=trend_click&vertical=trends. Later: still no explanation at 2:15 a.m. Monday morning, September 12, 2022, and the mainstream media has not picked up the story. But I have to admit: getting off a flight in golf shoes after flying from Florida and landing in Washington, DC, with no comment from the FPOTUS is very, very strange. Did Merrick Garland make his move? The animosity between POTUS and FPOTUS is palpable. Nothing would surprise me any more.

  1. Brady and Belichick was the meeting of two driven personalities at the perfect place and perfect time. Credit goes to both.
    However, Great QB's can make good teams better.
    Bad teams will drive Great coaches into retirement quickly.

    1. 1. Great QBs can make good teams better. Quick: name the front line for the Kansas City Chiefs. Quick: name the front line for the Buffalo Bills.

      2. Best example of great coach / great player coming together: Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan.

      3. The post-game interviews (Belichick / Jackson) told me everything I needed to know.

  2. Staubach had a broken thumb and he played and he played well.

    1. How coincidental. I was just going to post something very similar. Zac is not impressing me. Didn't Aaron Rodgers play with a broken toe. I'm sure many other examples. Current players have figured out the system.

  3. Phil was a deep thinker. Belichick was a jerk to the press, no doubt, but that doesnt make him not a great coach, just a jerk.
    The only thing Jordan won was scoring titles til Scottie Pippen showed up.They were the dynamic duo that brought trophies to Chicago
