From
where I sit it looks like the NFL is doing everyone a favour...
It's
a fantastic cause. It's also a great way to get people thinking
about breast cancer. Sure, it's over the top, but there's no such
thing as too much message here. However, the flags were confusing.
Because the players towels are basically the same colour, it's
created a lot of confusion for players, coaches and broadcasters.
When it comes to something like penalties, consistency is imperative.
Not just with the call, but with how the call is made. There's also
been questions raised about how much money is actually going to
research. You know what, it doesn't much matter. My Aunt is a breast
cancer survivor. I've seen what an insidious disease this is. If
this helps one woman catch breast cancer in time to save her life
it's worth it.
The
Flyers hung their coach out to dry...and he should be the only one in
trouble...
OK,
the training camp apparently was bad. The pre-season was lacklustre.
And now 0-3 to start the season. The timing of this is simply odd.
Why give Laviolette even 3 games? Why wasn't he fired during the off
season? His replacement was waiting right there, so it's not like
Philadelphia had to hunt around. Ed Snyder is a great owner in a
number of ways. He's passionate. He's got deep pockets. He's not
afraid to stand up for his team. He's also very hands on. And that
hasn't always lead to the best choices. Let's face it, goaltending
is a major issue for the Flyers. They had a pair of promising
Russian goalies. Now, both are gone. Sergi Bobrovsky is a Vezina
winner in Columbus. Ilya Bryzgalov is with Las Vegas waxing poetic
in the ECHL. How is Laviolette to blame for Bryzgalov's idiotic 9
year deal? Or the current tandem of Chris Mason and Ray Emery?
There's plenty of blame to go around in Philadelphia. And the guys
in charge need to start looking in the mirror.
At
least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
