PETA would like to know how Clyde Drexler spends his free time

When it comes to awkward comments made by the game analyst there is the standard run-of-the-mill head scratchers and then there are the ones that fall into the “Look at that little monkey run” category. Though not fully in the latter, this offering by former NBA great and current Houston Rockets T.V. analyst, Clyde “The Glide” Drexler, certainly warrants a dude….

Scenes from our youth

Coca-Cola is choosing to hitch its wagon to a different star for its Super Bowl commercial when it revives the classic ad from 1979 that featured Mean Joe Green and everykid, but with a modern twist. In the updated version, the product will be Coke Zero (which we always thought to be an odd name for a liquid confectionary) and will feature current Steelers’ player, Troy Polamalu.

And in case you had forgot… Thanks, Mean Joe.

"You know, I should have pointed more often to certain players on the defense and called out more fake plays at the line of scrimmage with less than 2 minutes to go. That would have made the difference."- Anon

Ours: "Awesome. I win the Heisman and now I get to preside over the nuclear vaporization of millions of Americans' retirement accounts."

Gotta think that ringing the bell at the opening of the NYSE only to see stocks immediately drop through the floor isn't quite the thrill or honor it has been in the recent past.

"Worst. Renaissance Fair. Ever."- Anon


On a somewhat related football note, the Chargers' Defensive Coordinator, Ted Cottrell was fired yesterday and will be replaced by linebackers coach, Ron Rivera. We're sure Cottrell is a good man who is a good husband and a loving and caring father but he was a horrible fit for this defense. His insistence in having the Chargers' aggressive defensive backs sit back in a zone while simultaneously not getting any pressure on the quarterback was a recipe for disaster. Now it's Rivera's turn to see what he can do to get the defense back on track.

Rivera, while at Chicago as the Bears' D-Con was known for his aggressive, blitzing style. While we are not saying that this is the formula for success for every defense, the Chargers' personnel certainly lends itself to aggressive man-to-man coverage and getting to the quarterback off the edge with the pass rush. It will be interesting to see how Rivera adjusts to the Chargers' 3-4 scheme as he ran a 4-3 in Chicago. Regardless, this is the move that had to be made if the Chargers hope to make it to the playoffs and at 3-5, they had to pull the trigger sooner than later.
