Dumbest thing I heard this weekend

[dozin_theknick]

While discussing the Dallas Cowboys, Chris Berman chimed in that Dallas had 13 pro-bowlers. He then mentioned that his friend Marv Levy told him that he preferred Superbowl players over pro-bowl players.

I thought this was extremely silly. First it makes the assumption that Dallas can not win the Superbowl. Second, is that Marv Levy never won a Superbowl. I like Coach Levy and respect the hell out of him, but he never got his team over the top. Third, since when does having pro-bowl players a bad thing?




I guess Bill Parcells really did like Drew Henson. He drafted Chad Henne out of Michigan. Pretty much the same QB in my opinion. Henne will not make a good pro.

I have known Berman was an idiot Cowboy hater for a couple decades.

I gotta go with something Berman said too. In discussing the Patriots choosing Jerod Mayo.

"Sometime this year a Patriots opponent is going to be flagged for holding the Mayo."



Groan.

None of you should have watched ESPN's broadcast. I tuned into it a couple times during NFLN commercials, and everytime was blown away by how awful their coverage was.

For starters, they had too many idiotic interviews with people who noone cared about. And the interviews went on too long.

Second of all, who knows what Keyshawn was thinking before putting that ensemble together. He clearly got dressed in the dark.

Third, in their ever growing quest to bring entertainment, they fell far behind on draft choices. They focused far too much on the QBs that were taken, the QBs that might be taken, the QBs who may have been born on that very day, and ended up getting 5-6 picks behind, and then hastily making them up by gving 20 second blurbs on players you actually wanted to know about, so they could go back to talking about when Chad Henne and Brian Brohm might get picked.

The NFL Network kept up with the picks as they were being made, at least until really late in the draft. Mike Mayock is infinitely more interesting than Mel Kiper, whether you agree with him or not.

The only thing I hated about the NFLN broadcast was the black guy who couldn't stop smiling. He hogged the conversational spotlight, and was often seen shushing his cohosts. He just was really fake and annoying. Even Jamie Dukes was very entertaining and good up there. If they could replace Eisen with Wingo, it would be perfect.

Don't watch ESPN. Ever. It's tripe. It's so bad that I gave up watching it in full HD, to watch NFLN in fake HD.

You just want Wingo because he is a Cowboys fan and has a cool name.

Yeah, not looking forward to all the Mayo catchphrases over the years. Maybe he'll get fired when he jokes about Jerod sending them to the Mayo Clinic.

I didn't like Henne for most of his career. Thought he was extremely overrated. But over the 2nd half of the '07 season and during his offseason it seemed like a light switched on for him. He became more accurate and quicker on his reads. I think he might turn out to be a good QB.

For some reason its always hilarious to me when someone uses "tool" or "douchebag" as insults.

Considering Dallas won three Superbowls in the 90's while having the most Pro Bowlers, that statement made a lot of sense...

1st SB we made we did not have a single defensive player make the Pro Bowl. Anyways this is about this team not past cowboy teams and Berman is right it takes more than just physical talent, going to the pro bowl is great but we can't have mental breakdowns and win championships. It is about the will to win as much as it is about talent. G-men are not the most talented team in the NFL but they have a SB they went out and fought for it.

Actually, I think this would have been a great line, if it were delivered by a ref in a game. Right up there with 'givin' him the business.'

Only idiots watch ESPN NFL Draft coverage.
