Fire Charlie Weis. That is the only option. I have defended him, given him breaks after last year's embarrassing 3-9 campaign and after an embarrassing loss to Boston College. I draw the line at losing to a 2-8 team at home, when you have a 13 point lead in the 4th quarter. Notre Dame is bound to get destroyed at USC on Saturday and then will probably continue their string of bowl losses so 6-7 is looking pretty likely. It is unacceptable, Notre Dame should beat a crappy Syracuse team at home. They have superior talent, which leads it all to coaching. Ty Willingham sucked as coach but he didn't lose to 2-8 teams at home. Charlie has to go.
The Washington Redskins gutted out a road win over the Seattle Seahawks. Despite Ladell Betts trying to fumble the game away as he likes to do, Seahawks QB Matt Hasslebeck decided that the Seahawks have stunk all year so why change now. It was a must win game for the Skins, as they were staring at a 2 game deficit in the wild card standings, as they host the seemingly unstoppable Giants Sunday, while the Cowboys get to beat up on the Seahawks on Thanksgiving. Jason Campbell and Clinton Portis carried the team, and the defense finally created some turnovers.
The Washington Wizards are now 1-10 and fired head coach Eddie Jordan this morning. Jordan basically blamed management in his recent comments when he intimated he didn't have much to work with. Surefire way to get canned when your team blows is questioning management. Jordan did get the Wizards to the playoffs which had been an impossibility for a long time but he had hit his ceiling as coach. The team is going nowhere this year, heck, maybe Gilbert should take another year off and collect the "discount" he so graciously gave us.
College basketball season tipped off, exciting me as it is my second favorite sport behind the NFL. My Alma mater, the George Mason Patriots (2006 Final Four), got off to a 3-1 start, which is good considering they lost their two top scorers in Folarin Campbell and Will Thomas. The road loss to Hampton was disappointing but they followed that up with a win at East Carolina on Saturday. They host Mt. St. Mary's on Tuesday night. My other favorite team, the #1 North Carolina Tar Heels, destroyed the pathetic Kentucky Wildcats, and outlasted the Gauchos of UC Santa Barbara on the road Friday night.
Due to Thanksgiving on Thursday there will be a double helping of football on the blog on Wednesday as I will post a new Cram Session and Hail Mary.

Do you really support the Tar Heels?! You have to be kidding me!
One thing to bear in mind about Notre Dame's string of bowl losses is that since they have such a national following they tend to get invited to bowls way above their talent level.
