Tuesday Morning Quarterback (wk. 12)
She's a spinning. That coaching carousel took it's first push on Monday with news of the Detroit Lions firing Head Coach Steve Mariucci. Mooch came with great expectations in 2003. He leaves with a 15-28 record. This move caught the guru off guard. I didn't expect Mooch to be on such a short leash. Defensive coordinator Dick Jauron takes over on an interim basis. Jauron compiled a 36-46 record over 5 seasons coaching the Bears. Who will be the next Lions coach? The guru thinks he's currently a Head Coach in another NFL city.
How about the guru? Did you catch that splendid 13-3 win/loss record this past weekend? Another unbelievable outing. Can you beat it?
Cheers: Jaguars back-up QB David Garrard for stepping on the field when starter Byron Leftwich went down and playing winning football to keep the Jags in the thick of the AFC playoff picture. Also cheers to Giants PK Jay Feely for showing tremendous class in meeting the press corps after missing three field goals, two of them in overtime, ultimately costing his team the game. My hero of the week: A guy named Radioactive Jam for sticking his neck out with a bold prediction, commenting right here on my blog, that the Colts' winning streak would end in week 12 when they played the Steelers. He was wrong. But, it took guts to guru up. By the way, watch that Colts/Jags game on December 11th - THE guru hath spoken.
Jeers: The ownership of the Detroit Lions - the problem is in the front office. Has it dawned on anyone that the President of Football Operations Matt Millen is the one who hired Steve Mariucci and Marty Morningweg before him; has hand-crafted the team's roster; and is the one who has drafted the three wide receivers (Rodgers, Williams and Williams) with number one picks the last three years - the same guys that are re-defining the word underachiever. The Lions under Millen's leadership? An NFL worst 20-55. And my Goat of the week: ESPN Analyst and NFL Hall of Fame finalist Michael Irvin for getting busted on drug paraphernalia possession charges. His take? "It's not mine."
Check this space Thursday for another chance to amaze your friends with rock-solid NFL prognostication, compliments of the guru.

Being wrong is one of my spec-i-al-i-ties. As for predictions I really shine when it comes to football. Tried the fantasy league thing one year; I got awards for Most Ineffective Roster Changes and Most Points Scored By "Benched" Players.
Maybe I should call Matt Millen and offer my services.
