Treehugger Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 From John Teti's always hilarious Block & Tackle http://www.avclub.com/article/sweet-stupidity-first-down-measurement-211863: San Francisco 49ers vs. New York Giants — Sunday, 1 p.m., Fox New York, at 3-6, has spent the last month grinding its playoff hopes into dust. Any NFL expert can tell you what the Giants’ problem is: body language. Quarterback Eli Manning always looks sad, and head coach Tom Coughlin always looks angry. Low morale makes for bad football, although it might make for good TV. Directors love to televise Eli’s mope face and Coughlin’s craggy scowl, especially the latter. Soon they may start showing Coughlin during games where the Giants aren’t even involved. In the middle of a Titans-Texans snoozer, they’ll just cut to a live shot of Tom Coughlin sitting on his couch, glowering. Manning and Coughlin won two Super Bowls together; surely they’ve acquired some affection for each other. They simply need to get better about showing it. Expressive emotional honesty is the key to any coach-quarterback relationship. Tom, Eli, if you’re reading this, please watch the video below and take its important message to heart. http://v.theonion.com/avclubmedia/video/10595/640.mp4 The Block & Tackle “So I need to Google Chrome, Jack? And how do I do that? … But I thought you said Internet Explorer was bad. … I see. Gosh, if you had time to come over here and help your mother and me with all that, I sure would—uh-huh. Well, give our love to Stacy and the—” prediction: New York 24, San Francisco 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
