I can _taste_ the blood . . . is it ever sweet.

Norv, get off my team. Walk out of the stadium, get in your car. Shrug your shoulders and scratch your head one last time in defeat, as you think to yourself that you could do better next time. But now there is no next time. Drive out of Maryland, D.C., and Virginia. Don’t ever stop, don’t ever turn around. Drive away, Norv. Drive and never come back.

neuroman, will a quick disappearance of norv after today’s game forestall the webcam entertainment you mentioned in the OP? 🙂

I’m glad Norv left, but something kinda annoys me. Terry Robiskie will be the interim coach. GOOD! I think he’d a great coach, and will give the offense the kick in the ass it needs.

However, there is NO CHANCE he will be asked to take over at the end of the season. And honestly, I have to wonder if a lot of it isn’t because he’s black. Which is really really sad. Terry would be better for this team than any college coach out there, and LIGHT YEARS better than Spurrier. (If Spurrier gets the head coaching job in the offseason, I may have to quit cheering for this team. _sigh_)
