That's ludicrous. When you sign a contract, your job is to play to the best of your ability. What about if an athlete underperforms? Do they give some of the millions back? |
The Cowboys have to draft a quarterback. What happens if Bledsoe gets hurt? |
The Denver Broncos just aren't going to allow Kerry Collins to complete a pass in the middle of the field. |
The question this year will be has Joe adapted to calling plays at a comfort level where he feels like he can get it done? ... With the Washington Redskins, the question is, yeah [quarterback] Patrick Ramsey is the new starter, but how will Joe Gibbs adapt? And he wouldn't want the pressure any place else. It's perfectly placed and he's the man who can handle it and I think he's learned a lot. |
There are excellent football coaches out there, and excellent assistants that could do a good job. But it's going to take time. With Tice, you have an excellent football coach. I think he should be given a chance to come back and coach that football team. |
They went to the NFC Championship game without T.O., they went to the Super Bowl without T.O. - I don't know what makes him think he's so important, |
Those guys are good, and the elements up in Chicago make them even more scary. I look at Chicago, Tampa and Indy all running the same basic defense, and it starts with four guys up front causing problems. |
Those were guys, maybe not in as much of a publicized way, that were the heart and soul of the defense. Yeah, they added Chad Brown. They added the athletic ability, but do you have the cohesiveness that's necessary? |
Today's helmets are a lot different. The league has really worked hard to protect the players from head injuries. |
We're a family at ESPN. For me, to take this property and move it to Monday night is a great honor. |
When they did Monday Night Football , it was all about three networks. You didn't have 600 choices. Today, the market share is smaller, but we still believe the product will be just as good. |
When you can take a wide receiver and make him a nickel back, ... when you can take rookies and make them starters, when you can take free agents off the streets and win a world championship, that means the philosophy and the scheme is bigger than the players. |
You need the hammer, and you need the other guy, too. If you can have that, it gives you versatility on the offense. One of the areas I don't think people really, really consider a lot is converting third downs. You have to be able to convert them. |
