Mangini Claims Lions Stalled No Huddle With Faked Injuries

[KYPack]

Eric Man-weenie - waaahaaaa!! It's pretty rare, I think, for a head coach to fail in his first head coaching gig and then get hired again somewhere else. It worked for Belichek, and if Pete Carroll wanted a second shot in the NFL he could have one, but I'm not sure how many first-time-head-coaches-who-fail get a second shot. Maybe Dom Capers, but he had two expansion franchises.

In short, Man-Weenie is failing at stop #2, and that will be his last head coaching gig - he's not Mad Al's type, I don't think. Al seems to like virgins.

Maye Man-weenie can be the next Pete Carroll....or the next Charlie Weiss.

Pete Carroll got two shots. Jets/Pats

He might get a third one someday, too.

He'd be nutz to do that.

I wonder if Steve Spurrier will get another go-around if he wants it?

Anyone remember the Man-Genius tag that was ever so briefly applied to him? I bet the ass-kissing beat writer who coined that one is hoping no one remembers it was him!

I'm pretty sure this happens, and it probably happened in the Lions-Browns game, but isn't this the sort of thing that a coach should never say? You never want to accuse anybody in football of faking an injury for competitive advantage, because football is a very violent sport and major injuries happen due to seemingly minor hits and twists.

So while Mangini is probably right, you don't have to say everything you're right about and you probably shouldn't; also you might need to pull the same trick yourself sometime.

Mangini needs to stfu. The guy who didn't want reveal whether he was starting Quinn or Anderson to trick the opposing team is complaining about something so trivial? Seriously, someone higher up should just look him in the face and say "shut the fuck up idiot."

That's like trying to trick the other team by not telling them whether Joe Blauchwitz or Fred Grabonski is going to be cutting the grass before the game.

I believe our guy is named Mike Wood, but you better check with Coach McCarthy first to make sure.

thats the only thing i can't stand about professional soccer. the dives, and the overacting. a guy will get tripped, and he'll try and make it look like his leg just snapped in 4 places and one of the parts got lodged sideways in his ass

I'm with ya on that. It annoys me to no end. It's the lamest thing in the world.

Waaaha-haa! I'm hurt! Boo-hoo! They all take acting lessons in the offseason, I think.

It's a damn tough sport, but they do the sport a disservice with all that play acting.
