The Shotgun/Throwdown: Monday (12/5/11) Edition

Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's nationally recognized best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor and daily distractions. We're being brought to you today by Agent Orange Pale Ale in honor of WVU's selection to the Orange Bowl for the first time. Yes, the news...

Ravens Harbaugh To Make Less Than Baby Brother

When the news that the Baltimore Ravens had re-signed head coach John Harbaugh to a new contract, the terms of the deal were not originally disclosed. Since then, the news is that the contract is for three years and $12 million, an average of $4 million per season. While that is an increase over...

Bears should extend Lovie Smith: Who'd you rather have?

I'll reiterate the opening from my earlier post (as seen here). If the only argument you have in regards to Lovie Smith is he has no fire on the sideline then don't even bother. Unless someone can show me a correlation between being animated on the sideline or in front of the press room podium...

Breaking: Mike Tomlin's contract extended

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that Mike Tomlin's contract has been extended through 2014. No further details are available at this time, so we have yet to find out how many Brinks trucks will be needed. Looks like the Rooneys have a big windshield and a small rear view mirror.

Cutler Not Being Coached Up

Listening to former Bears QB Jim Miller on the Comcast post game after the Eagles loss, it became even clearer, the Bears are simply not coaching Cutler up. Miller questioned what's being taught to Cutler, both the mental aspects of the position and his fundamentals. To paraphrase Miller,...

Anatomy of an Anticipated Storyline

UPDATE: Wiz has updated his original post to point out that the man in question is Lane and the blonde in question is indeed Layla. He also very graciously cites this post. A hearty hat tip to the Wiz, who was undoubtedly time-constrained or he would have sleuthed it all out himself. It's...

"Tweaking" the Tampa-2: What did Jim Caldwell mean?

As I have said since Tony Dungy retired, the Colts are not going to switch to a new defensive scheme. Indy will run the same Tampa-2 defense they have run since 2002. It will rely on pressure from the d-line with the LBers and DBs mostly dropping back into zone coverage. Jim Caldwell has made this...

Golden Nugz for 2.19.09

Interesting article from the New York Times on a couple different fronts. First, it deals entirely with former Minnesota quarterback and Super Bowl winning head man Tony Dungy. But it also discusses what will apparently be Dungy's charge now that he's off the sidelines, that is pushing for...

49ers All-Time Coach

Was there ever really a question? One of the "drawbacks" to having such great folks in 49ers history is that it takes away some of the vote-able options. In the case of the head coach, I don't see how anybody could really make any sort of argument that it should be somebody other than Bill...
