If I have time, I’ll endeavor to make this a weekly post whether you guys like it or not. I thought it would be fun to recognize a manager of the week by awarding him the ceremonial Tom Landry Hat. The award system is completely subjective and susceptible to political pressure, just like the Oscars. Without further ado, our first winner is Ben.
Sure the old rule of thumb is to start anyone you have who is going against the Lions, but Ben had to trust that Brandon Jacobs could avoid being a buffoon, not get hurt, and actually touch the ball enough to make an impact. He went to Bradshaw and Jacobs as a tandem against Detroit, and those two delivered a combined 31 points.
Ben also had to sit Larry Fitzgerald, something he surely wasn’t excited about doing, and started Mike Wallace, who delivered another solid performance with 15 points. Taylor gets a tip of the cap for finalizing a trade that let him keep Ray Rice for one more week and he made a great choice by starting Tennessee’s Defense, which netted 17 points. Nonetheless, this week’s Tom Landry hat goes to Ben. Enjoy.
This is truly an honor. When I fail to make the playoffs for the fourth time in a row, I will put the hat on and smoke some cigs. The hat and the nicotine will ease the pain somewhat. Then I'll probably call Steven Hawking and have him sing that song by Chris Gaines about the rolling thunder. Thanks, Jason. Shout out to Brandon Jacobs.
ReplyDeleteBen, did you know that Chris Gaines is really Garth Brooks' alter-ego? It's the same person!!
