"Are you not entertained?" is famously spoken by the character Maximus (Russell Crowe) in the 2000 film Gladiator. The line is delivered to the jeering Roman crowd after he decisively defeats another gladiator, followed by the repeated line, "Is this not why you are here?".
Another week, a slew of tight, partial surprises. Of course:
Car not only covers but beats the rams su. The bears, yep, the bears are now the NFC 1 seed
Hapless N.O. beats mia (ats)
Hou beats indy
Chi beats Phil
Cin beats Bal
Min starts a qb, that was undrafted, received 0 div 1, scholarship offers, played in New Hampshire, but no one told the Minn defense the fix was in. They started hard holding Sea to 0-0 tie in 1st Q. Now Sea 16-0, but at -11, this has back door pick six written all over it.
I'm pretty sure the network programming monkeys, think this is what the public wants.. Maybe the casual, not betting public. But I'm personally this is simply another chapter in the NFL's paradigm shift. And we need to pay attention.
I for one am not entertained. The only consistency, is the inconsistency. One take away, is a contradiction, the week to week axiom, last weeks 'super team' could be in trouble (LAR stomp TB 34-7), while last weeks hapless dog, on mnf, no less, Car mounted no threat to SF, losing 20-9. So of course Car wins by 13.5 (line off wise).
Lastly, the last 5 weeks are going to be even less entertaining. Factoring, Div battles, Conf wild card combat, injuries, and eventually teams jockeying for draft slots, and getting young players experience. Pete Carroll was actually asked why hes not giving, young players, the team is high on, experience? I actually flashed on Herm Edwards iconic speech, "Hello, you play to win the game."
One humble suggestion, if you are losing, consider scaling back your bets, and don't chase. Lets agree, it is what it is. Hopefully an outlier. There are lots of "experts" getting clobbered, I'm referring to web sites, magazine and newspaper pundits.
As always, bol 2 all.
