Around the NFL


Just five days before I proclaimed the ‘07 Randy Moss Watch over, Randy Moss was allegedly in a Florida woman’s home, doing some prep work for the game against the Florida-based Jaguars by beating her up.

Part of her statement claims Moss has “a drug or alcohol problem.” Really? From the guy that was on TV telling people he liked smoking weed? Shocking.

Moss is hoping people won’t rush to judgment, that the woman is allegedly an extortionist looking to collect a check with five zeros.

Whatever.

Have you seen pictures of Randy Moss? Dude is ugly. You know that about the only way a woman is getting with him is if she thinks she has a shot at his cash.

Ever talked to a stripper about her plans for the future? It almost always includes using those dollar bills you just gave her for tuition to an ivy league school. Randy might be well served by having the same skepticism for nice things said to him by women. All women.

Should I reinstate the Mosswatch? Nah. I’ve got more fun things to occupy my time lately. Like deciding whether to buy the extra chunky or super chunky salsa for this weekend’s game.  But if the media hounds Moss for the next three weeks, giving him little sleep and driving a wedge into the Patriot locker room, I’m good with that.

I’ve been thinking about Ron Jaworski lately.

It’s no man crush. And I don’t get a snicker out of seeing a guy with the nickname “Jaws” having the cheeks of a chipmunk. I think Ron Jaworski might be a prophet. You see, about two-thirds of the way into the 2007 NFL season, all the NFL talking heads were bouncing only one question between them: Who could beat the New England Patriots?

Ron Jaworski had one answer: The Green Bay Packers.

Ron JaworskiHis reasoning is a little hazy now, but it had something to do Favre’s ability to dink and dunk, his bursting stable of wide receiver talent and New England’s inability to adequately defend the short pass game. If memory serves, the Giants and Jaguars both had recent success with this kind of offense against the Patriots, and both don’t have nearly the wideout talent nor the quarterback that Green Bay has. And something about Randy Moss not liking getting chucked at the line of scrimmage and that being how Charles Woodson and Al Harris make their living, sitting you down 1.7 yards into your route.

At the time I was thinking “That’s nice. If the Patriots and Packers meet in the Superbowl, the Packers have the best chance at beating this unbelievable team. And, if I’m ever faced with the prospect of a menage a trois (the good kind), scoring some Viagra just before could make it a night for the record books.”

I was pretty sure both of those pieces of information were worthless.

Here’s to hoping for two wrongs being right.

You know Tiki Barber is telling everyone who’ll listen that he was right; the Giants are one of the top 2 teams in the NFC.

You know how I feel about Tiki. I did notice that this recent success has come without the help of one big-butted, chrome-domed sissifuss.

Anyway, congrats, Tiki. The team you no longer play for is in position to compete for the NFC Championship. And they’re coached by a guy who’s got a track record of not getting past this game. And you’ve got Eli Manning, with his permagoof facial expression, wondering himself if he’s ready to play in the really big games.

And here I thought karma was going to make Favre go down to Dallas to win, finishing off his ultimate football checklist. Looks like karma prefers to have Tom Coughlin’s New York team take the hard road to prove they’re worthy of some big, sparkly rings.

I don’t know if Toomer or Burress like getting chucked hard at the line of scrimmage, or if they like getting the side of their chest walls caved in after a catch, but three hours of that is coming. Atari Bigby thinks damaging your bodies is like fishing. The way he describes it, it sounds more like when you were 9 and caught a rock bass, then when trying to de-hook it you squeezed so hard poop shot out of it.

Come to think of it, that sounds about right.

See you Sunday.
