Football News from on High

...when la commish takes time out from her busy sunday night text-flirting schedule to provide -mono.league-ers with valuable football information gleaned from the previous week....


THE PRE-SEASON WORD ON THE STREET~

-on t.o. - terrell owens (accent on the first 'terr' not the last 'ell') is a wide receiver. his middle name is eldorado. (ouch) last year, he controversially played for the philadelphia eagles and managed to alienate an entire nation with his antics. your commish salutes his flair and ayn rand-ian dedication to the self. not unlike her experiences having to defend many controversial ex-boyfriends, la commish stands by her man even in the face of ridicule and scorn from other football afficionados. speculation abounds about how he is getting along with his new coach, the legendary bill parcells. something tells me that he's not getting along with him at all, but as long as t.o. proves himself on the field and helps the cowboys to the superbowl, who cares?

-on the #1 draft pick - that was reggie bush, a heisman trophy winner who now plays for the new orleans saints. the first team to pick was the houston texans, but they actually chose mario williams, i'm guessing because he's a defensive player and that's what the texans are looking for. (by “guessing” i mean that i may have read that somewhere but cannot say with certainty.) good luck to mario, who has a tremendous amount of pressure on his back. on that big sexy back with those wide, broad muscular shoulders...

-in new york news - same ol', same ol'....
who's the better coach, giants mangini or jets coughlin?
mangini has coached with the 2 bill's (cowboys parcells and patriots bill belichick) but this is his first head coach gig so we've yet to see if he's got the team on his side. he's run an ungodly tough football camp (i wonder if the guys tell each other ghost stories at night in their bunks?) so hopefully his team will be in top form for the upcoming season.

coughlin aslo has worked with both bills and he's got experience, but can he bring together a not-so-talented team and win a superbowl?


who's the better quarterback, the giants eli manning or jets chad pennington?
eli (hands off ladies, he's mine!) comes from a strong football lineage and is capable of leading a team to the superbowl. he's got tiki barber and michael strahan behind him, and those 2 rule the school. (err, locker room.) but eli's young and it's probably not yet his time.

chad pennington is coming back from a shoulder injury, which will probably inhibit the quality of his game.

-on inuries - speaking of the jets, running back curtis martin is injured. serious enough to retire?
