Good Line, Bad Line for this week in the NFL
Posted October 4th, 2007 by Jim WilliamsIt was a weekend when there were plenty of topics to talk about in the NFL and here were some of the best and the best and the worst things said.
Good line from FOX Analyst Howie Long on what Cowboys owner Jerry Jones should concentrate on getting done soon: “If I were Jerry Jones, I get two things done. First, get Tony Romo signed as soon as possible because he’s not getting any worse. Second, make offensive coordinator Jason Garrett happy. I’m sure he’s happy now, but I’d make him really happy because with the influx of young coaches in the NFL, owners are opting for younger guys. Jason Garrett’s name is going to be on a lot of team’s list.”
Bad line from FOX Co-Host Terry Bradshaw on whether benching QB Rex Grossman for Brian Griese in Chicago was the right choice: “I think Rex Grossman is the guy and the Bears should have stayed with him. What better team for him to get right against than the Lions, his best game last year with four touchdown passes? He throws the ball deep as good as anybody which is perfect against this Lions defense. He’s a young kid and I think there’s too much panicking going on with the Bears. Too many people in that organization are listening to the media. Rex Grossman should not have lost his job, period. 1-2? No big deal. They started in ’05 1-2 and still went on and made the playoffs.”
Good line from ESPN Game Day Host Chris Berman: "The Cubs and the Red Sox each win a division within 10 minutes of each other. Well, then Brett Favre and the Packers being Super Bowl contenders is certainly not as far-fetched as that.”
Bad line: NBC Analyst Tiki Barber: on the Jets loss today to the Bills: "The only fortunate thing is that the Mets monumental collapse will keep the Jets off the back pages tomorrow."
Good Line: “CBS analyst Boomer: Forget about Matt Leinart, he's having problems in the desert. It has to be between Cutler and Young. I saw Young on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, and I came away unbelievably impressed with his arm strength, his ability to read defenses and to run the football. He's the ultimate weapon. Remember when Sports Illustrated put Randall Cunningham on the cover and called him "the ultimate weapon"? That's exactly what this kid is. He's only going to get better and he's a winner when the game is on the line.
Best Line of the week: “ NBC Analyst Keith Obermann on the Miami grounds crew piling dirt on soggy infield: "It's like they're in Dubai. They're creating artificial islands."
