Jeff and I have decided to give everyone a glimpse into some of the discussions that we banter back and forth off of each other almost on a daily basis that are sometimes heard on the airwaves of the east central North Dakota area, but almost never anywhere else. We feel badly for the rest of the world that they are not privvy to the genius that is often spewed from our like minds. But the people need to know. To this end, from time to time we will be posting email discussions that we are having. So, in the words of the Black Eyed Peas... LET'S GET IT STARTED, LET'S GET IT STARTED IN HERE!!!
Jeffrey,
I hear a lot of sports writers and commentators writing about how the NFL is watered down. The fact that the the Super Bowl champ is anybody's guess going into the season and the number of upsets on a weekly basis, they say, shows that the talent is not what it used to be. I disagree. I think that since the NFL is the only professional sport that doesn't allow Middle Schoolers to enter the draft means that the talent is stronger and the players are better. Just look, on a weekly basis, at how many different players make an impact. The fact that these guys have actually played college ball means that they are more prepared and, therefore, have the ability to make an immediate impact. I do not belive the talent pool is watered down. If anything the league is over-competitive because the talent pool is so good. Your thoughts? Jeremy
Jeremy,
The NFL is just in a class by itself. I don't think parody is good for any of the other major sports (as much as I hate the Yankees and Lakers, they're needed), but the NFL thrives with it. And it's the only league that doesn't need to contract a few teams. QB play hasn't been great this year, but I think there's guys who aren't getting a chance to play that could do something. And just look at the Broncos for how much talent there is in the league: they trade anall-pro and plug in last year's backup fullback andthe guy's a star. You're dead on about the NFL keeping kids in school, and that's why it's still so good. The kids coming out of school are actually gasp! ready to play!! I hope they will continue to keep the Maurice Clarett's and Mike Williams' of the world out, because although there's going to be a guy once in awhile who could play in the league before he's been out of high school for 3 years (that Adrian Peterson kid for Oklahoma comes to mind--good lord!!), there would be so many more that would come out who wouldn't be ready. The NBA is such a prime example of that right now. Apparently the NBA getting an age restriction doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of making it, but I still hold out hope something will happen.
Speaking of colleges, are the expectations insane? I mean Zook gets fired from Florida mid-season. He wasn't Spurrier, but there's at least 90 other college programs who would love to have his record the past 3 years. Some of those southern schools are just crazy? And what's happened to music? I'm officially old because I turn on a rock station and most of it just sounds like old. What happened to the good music of the early '90's in the days of our youth?
