Rhetorical Questions on a Wednesday Morning

• How hard did Matt Cassel shit his pants when he found out Brady was hurt? We're talking about a guy who hadn't started a game since high school. He seemed perfectly content with riding the pine, holding a clipboard, and cupping Brady's balls. Serious doubts need to be raised about a person's ability to start in the NFL when they spent their entire career backing somebody up and never got the itch to transfer. Now he's playing for the most ruthless coach in the league and playing with a bunch of guys who took pay cuts to be part of something special.


• Has anybody seen Mike Tomlin and Omar Epps in the same room at the same time?



• Has there ever been a bigger sham than Charlie Weis' coaching career? Both him and Romeo Crennel parlay their brush with Bela-chick's genius into head coaching jobs. Crennel has had mixed results. Weis basically rode Tyrone Willingham's recruits to a strong start but since those guys graduated, he has coached Notre Dame to new levels of ineptitude.
  
• If the Yankees miss the playoffs in the middle of the forest, do they make a sound?

• Did Hank Aaron have Barry Bonds killed? Has anybody heard from him?

• How did Brett Favre throw so many picks in his career with that "rocket arm"? More importantly, how many would he have thrown if he had Chad Pennington's arm? The Chargers' defenders spent the entire game Monday night having balls bounce off their arms and chest. Even Cromartie (who had 2 INTs in the game) had at least one easy drop (that I can remember).

• Did Javon Walker's career die with Darrent Williams? I can only hope that this is the most tragic event that will ever happen to the Broncos. I was in a daze for weeks. Then it came out that the incident came about (allegedly) because Walker was spraying champagne over a nightclub crowd. Who doesn't like that? Turns out a couple of Denver thugs didn't like that. A good friend died. Walker didn't learn his lesson. Earlier this year at a Las Vegas club, Walker was seen doing the same thing. Same result except this time the karma got him. Walker was assaulted and left to bleed on the streets of Las Vegas. Now he's toiling away in Oakland. Please note - Brandon Marshall was actually the one who was allegedly spraying the crowd on that fateful New Year's night. Point still stands however. Walker has seen what these things can do to people. Maybe it's best not to floss at a nightclub when you don't know who might be there and might take offense.
