Packers release Peprah

That kind of stuff is a good reminder for us all, Smeef. I can yammer on and on about whether House or Shields should be starting, but I'm not watching both guys every day, and I can't talk to them to get to know their mental makeup. I always say it's a good thing fans aren't running teams, or you'd have a whole new starting team every two weeks, and new coaches every month.

And while I'm ranting, these a-hole supposed fans who call up talk shows and "demand" accountability from players and teams and coaches, and who insist that if the team doesn't win the SB (or the World Series, or the Stanley Cup, or whatever the sport is) the GM and coach should be fired and it's all been a waste - I'd bet good money very, very few of them, if any, live their own lives with that sense of "accountability."

I'm okay with criticism to a certain extent. But I think trying to be just a tiny bit realistic is a good idea, too.

I can't stand those strident, self-righteous, unwashed ass clowns.

Thank you for listening to me bitch.

You're 100% right, there was no reason for Detroit to get rid of Millen!

"You're 100% right, there was no reason for Detroit to get rid of Millen!"

I actually liked Millen, but I really like to dislike Schwartz.

Yeah, I'm hoping The Schvantz blows up a few times and his team plays undisciplined, dirty football.

But do you remember when MM's first couple of teams lead the league in penalties? Or at least were one of the most-penalized teams? He managed to get that "cleaned up" as he likes to say, and you wonder if The Schvantz can do that, too. I dunno. I don't know what he was like as a d-coordinator in Tennessee.
