This would be true when comparing most any DC to Coach Dad.

ouch.

Although I see coach Dad more as a 64 Dodge Charger and Cunningham like an 84 Colt.

While I'm not suggesting that he actually is one,

Gunther Cunningham comes off as a sociopath.

I'm thinking Ford Pinto for Gunther Cunningham

Coach Dad? Ferrari. But I’ll take Rolls Royce.

One of the great disappointments of a football game is that the cheerleaders never seem to get injured.

Yeah, I dunno.

That Honda Civic held Green Bay to 24 offensive points in two games.

That's one way to do it.

He really wasn’t doing anything at all while he was in that game though, and that was with us missing a bunch of starters on our defensive line, corners, and at linebacker against a QB we hadn’t gameplanned. We were also down to our third string quarterback in that second game. I’m just saying, I like our Honda Civic for what he is doing with the talent we currently have, which is improving dramatically. Dick LeBeau is a fantastic defensive coordinator, but he also has the benefit of some great talent, so I’m not sure it’s fair for Foote to trash Grandpa Simpson.

Good luck Sunday. I’m pulling for yinz guys.
