The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Good
The Denver Broncos are in playoff position and will be playing a Colts team with nothing to play for. And they may be getting Trevor Pryce back for the playoffs, which puts their defense back into the top 5 in the NFL. They have missed Pryce, and it shows in their recent slide. Getting him back could make them a force in the AFC playoffs.

The Bad
Bad decisions have been the rule in Minnesota since Red McCombs took over, and we can add another one to the list. Red has decided that the bottom line is more important than winning and has picked up the option for Mike Tice to remain as coach for one more year. ESPN reports that Tice is considered to be a player's coach. If that is so, it's time for the players to start performing. A team that disintegrates down the stretch in two consecutive seasons can't be considered a well-coached team.

The Ugly
Notre Dame football this year. Has their been an uglier season than this for Irish fans? Recently? Last night's loss in the Insight Bowl was as ugly as it gets. Coach Weiss can't get there soon enough!
