Saturday Morning QBs: Here’s Your Big Chance

In regard to the article, “On the Defensive” [Dec. 7]: Why are people paying the highest rate ever for tickets for such a mediocre and non-appealing on-field product the NFL is producing this year? Are all the smart people in Los Angeles?

The Rams and Raiders leave and the locals rejoice because it means no more blackouts and they can watch the best games each week. But the irony is, each week they are treated to a steady diet of blue and gold and silver and black.

The notion that Bobby Beathard is off his rocker has been creeping into my thinking for the last few years. In light of his handling of personnel, how could it not? However, after reading about the grievance-contract extension business with Ryan Leaf, I almost fell off my chair.

Extend his contract? Hello! It’s pretty obvious that man-child Ryan Leaf will never be able to compete at this level. Leaf, about as far away from a Peyton Manning as he could be, has found his pot of gold, and it’s all over for him.

As for Bobby Beathard and every dumb GM who hands out $11 million irrevocable dollars to a raw “prospect,” I have no sympathy whatsoever.

In Tuesday’s Morning Briefing, there was an item stating that www.dallascowboys.to was actually a porn and gambling Web site based in Tonga.

If you stop and think about it, isn’t a Web site dedicated to porn and gambling more representative of the Dallas Cowboys than anything the team might want us to believe?
