“Heard the news/ read the NYPost so this one is “oh boy”

December 2, 2015

In the 2008 ALCS, David Price’s stellar relief pitching in the decisive 7th game helped the Tampa Bay Rays oust the defending World Series champion, Boston Red Sox.

Now at a great cost, even by today’s ridiculous money standards, the Red Sox have annexed Price. They paid a big price for a pitcher, with a woeful post season record.

On Monday, the defending NBA champion, Golden State Warriors raised their record to (19-0) with a close win at Utah vs the Jazz.

Tuesday’s New York Post reported the Jazz as the team winning the close game and raising the team’s record to (19-0).

Pittsburgh Steelers’ coach Mike Tomlin’s decision to go for a field goal and not the touchdown with three plus minutes left in last week’s loss at Seattle vs the Seahawks was the wrong one (not one hundred percent but at least say eighty), but of course CBS analyst Phil Simms agreed with the conservative decision.

I seem to remember the highly over rated, but still excellent coach Bill “Willie Boy” Parcells often going for first downs on fourth down situations with Simms as the Giants quarterback, especially in the 1986 title season.

Surely Simms applauded those decisions, but why oh why do all these analysts, even former quarterbacks, often applaud the conservative, wrong and in most cases losing decisions by coaches on fourth down situations?!!

Steelers’ coach Mike Tomlin pictured above, also elected to kick a field rather than go for the touchdown early in his team’s Super Bowl win vs the Arizona Cardinals after the 2008 season. That was a bad decision as well. I do not “result” nor second guess, I said it as it happened both last Sunday and in that Super Bowl.
