McCarthy a Brutal Hire for the Packers!
...shments, particularly his work with the saints spanning 2000-2004. During that time, the saints established 25 team and 10 individual marks. Joe Horn who caught 437 passes for 6289 yards and 45 TD's during McCarthy's tenure. New Orleans led the NFL in points (432) and toucdowns (49) during the 2002 season.
McCarthy's prior work with the Kansas City was also cited. As quarterback coach of the Chiefs between '95-'98, the combo of Gannon, Grbac, and Bono threw an afc low 52 interceptions over that four year period. Huh ??? Whupdidoo !!!
In his year with Favre, Bret did throw for 4,091 yards but the Packers were just seventh in passing and ninth overall in total offense.
At the press conference it was also brought up that McCarthy had spent most of last year mentoring the leagues first overall draft pick, Alex smith - possibly an inference that Aaron Rodgers would be in good hands if Favre decides to call it a career.
Alex Smith's season by any standards was an unmitigated disaster! Smith's numbers were horrific - 84-165 (50.9%) for 875 yards and a 1/11 TD/INT ratio. Granted, smith had little to work but based on his freshman year, he's ...more
Soccer Nutrition and Mental Focus, the Mind-Body Link
...
Nutrition is only a step in a process towards mental focus.
We have also heard, "strong in body, and strong in mind".
I would suggest that these major components in life are completely intertwined and in fact are, inseperable.
You can win by recognizing this or lose without even knowing that there is a link too or a cause and effect with this issue.
Many of us try and focus on what to eat. This is the first important step in the correct direction.
The flip side to that is what not to eat. This is realizing what is harmful to ...more
League One Betting Review - 13 February 2006
...Southend United replaced Colchester at the top of League One with a routine win over struggling Rotherham United on Friday night. Big hitters will have relished the 1/2 on offer for the Shrimpers and they didnt disappoint with goals from Shaun Goater and Fredy Eastwood.
Former leaders Colchester United lost ground and saw their club record run of 10 successive victories end as they were beaten at Huddersfield Town. A deflected shot from Jon Worthington after 14 minutes and a 68 minute goal for David Gr...more
Super Bowl 40: Decided in the Trenches
...her, have a propensity to run the football and take away the opponents running game. Both offensive lines are solid.
Seattle was third in the NFL averaging 153 yards rushing per game, while Pittsburgh was fifth averaging 139 yards per game. In the all important yards per carry, Seattle averaged 4.7 yards (second) while the Steelers averaged 4 yards per pop (12th).
One aspect of the game that could be key is that Seattle has faced only one good team all season (Dallas) that ran a 3-4 defense. So does Pittsburgh. In that game against the Cowboys, Shaun Alexander had his worst game of the season with 61 yards rushing on 21 carries. Seattle needed a late miracle in the final minute, and a timely Drew Bledsoe turnover, to win that game 13-10. You can bet the Seaha...more
