Pro Bowl Week Update

Apparently, Hawaii has passed a new law requiring all visiting on-air TV personalities to wear brightly-colored, obnoxious island garb while previewing all sporting events. How else to explain ESPN, Fox, and NFL Channel sports reporters wearing matching Hawaii-style shirts? Would they willingly allow themselves to look that foolish?

Stop asking Daunte Culpepper how he feels about a possible Randy Moss trade. He could possibly lose a friend and the best receiver on the team. How do you think he feels? The Vikings are .500 without Moss. Culpepper knows that losing Moss ends any hope of a playoff appearance with Tice as head coach. Love him or hate him, the Vikings are not a good team without Moss.

I guess Freddie Mitchell is tired of winning in Philadelphia and would prefer to move to a lesser team and be the top receiver. His comments yesterday almost guarantee he will be playing elsewhere next year. If his stats are any indication of his talent, it will probably be in Europe. He is a good #3 receiver at best. Someone should let him know that when you are getting a free ride on the gravy train, it is best to ride quietly.

Not much to say about the game itself. A bunch of talented players getting a free trip to Hawaii filling in for the Pro-Bowlers who won't play because of "injury", playing half-heartedly in a game where the main point is to avoid hurting yourself. Great for the players, but not much fun to watch. I'll probably watch anyway, what else is there to do on Sundays?
