Football Watch-And-Wait

It's just after 8 in the morning here and I'm wondering how much time will elapse before we hear the news of Dennis Green's firing.

The New York Post has this analysis of the NFL Network's calling of actual games. (Hat tip to the Jock Report.) Yes, Bryant Gumbel should be anywhere but in the broadcast booth. Keep Cris Collinsworth. Better luck next year. However, fate was a factor in the vapid level of most of the NFL Network games this season. Many of their contests were just boring, or didn't matter much in the playoff picture. Hey, it happened to Monday Night Football in years past.

Overheard on last night's NBC coverage of the Packers-Bears game: "If Brett Favre has tears in his eyes, he's retiring. If his eyes are dry, he's staying." How about this-- what if Favre hasn't yet decided?

I'm making a paper bag to put over my head this playoff season, as I am a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Did any other NFL team go from the talk of the league to a laughingstock so quickly?
