More dumb things. Grrr

Spouted by one Tony Dunge in the prelude to Sunday night's game between the KC Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks. While reviewing the league, he had the utter gall, and yes stupidity, to say, "Without question, the Philadelphia Eagles are Carson Wentz's team".

Really? I've got a lot of questions about that. Isn't Wentz the same guy that's been stinking it up all year as the losses mounted for the defending Super Bowl champions?

And hasn't he proven he can't stay healthy for an entire season? He's out again, just like last year.

And oh, BTW, wasn't it Nick Foles that led those same Eagles to the Super Bowl less than a year ago, won it, and was MVP of same?

Foles just threw for 471 yards against the Houston Texans, leading "his" team to a comeback win against the Houston Texans. All-time single-game franchise record -- while your boy Carson was still out rehabbing somewhere.

So I would ask the questions -- where do these networks get clueless clowns like Tony Dunge as on-air personalities? Is that the best they can do?

Speaking of the Seahawks, head coach Pete Carroll makes me wince every time I see him on TV. Here's a tip. Never trust a dude with little bitty teeth that's constantly chewing gum on fast-forward and talks a non-stop line of sh*t. It's like the proverbial shyster used-car salesman. He'd con his own mother and/or kids if he thought there was something good in it for him. Isn't this the same guy that ran a crooked program at Southern Cal, got caught, but flew the coop north to Seattle for mega-bucks, leaving USC on the hook for years of various NCAA sanctions and penalties?

And of course, there's always the sad-sack Detroit Lions. To absolutely no one's surprise, they just got blistered, at home, by the Minnesota Vikings. Another year down the toilet with no apparent help in sight.

Next week, the Detroit puddy-tats will limp into Green Bay to finish off the regular season. And you know what? It would be just like them to defeat the Packers. Never mind, Aaron Rodgers and Co. have stumbling badly this year as well. Badly enough to get long-time head coach Mike McCarthy fired mid-season. Unlike Detroit, they won't put up with a bad team for very long. Somebody's gotta go.

But if the Lions won, it would give their long-time sappies the same old thing they've trumpeted for decades. The ever-elusive "hope". Hey didya see that win at Green Bay? Wait until next year.

Right. How many times did Lucy have to pull the football away at the last minute before Charley Brown caught on that he was being duped?

He never did, you say?

Well then. I give you your average hard-core Detroit Lions' fan. Pretty much the same thing.

Alas. As dumb and obvious as some things are, there will always be those that fall for them.

P.T. Barnum was absolutely right. There's one born every minute.

Sigh.
