Well, there certainly has been a lot going on the past week or so- Michael getting elected into the HOF- Finally ( now we need Bob Hayes to follow suit along with about 15 other Cowboys), National Signing day featuring Noel Devine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uVzm_hKd2Y, and Wade Phillips being named the Head Coach of our beloved Heroes, officially nailing Fupa's coffin and waddling that worthless cocksucker out the door. Is Wade Phillips an exciting, sexy candidate? Absolutely not. But was Norv Turner? Jim Caldwell? Tony Sparano? Who really is in this day and age? There are maybe four really good coaches in the NFL- Belichick, Reid, Dungy, and Fisher. Lovie and Mangini definitely have potential, but let's see two more good years out of both of them. Who else? Schottenheimer? Please. Herm Edwards? Most overrated coach in football. Chuckie Gruden? Dick Jauron? Tom Coughlin? My point is that if you are going to go the recycled route, Wade is as good as any of them. He is a drinking buddy of Jerry's that knows a lot about Defense and personally nurtured Shawne, Jamal, Quentin, and Terrance. That is good enough for me. Will he win a Super Bowl? Probably not. Do you think Norv Turner would?
Phillips has a shitload of experience and has had a lot of success with his defenses. This can't be argued. He is from Orange, Tx. which is hard, and he personally weened Earl Campbell while the Tyler Rose was toting the rock for the Oilers, so this is good also. All of those really good Bronco and Bills defenses in the late 80's t0 mid 90's? Wade's. Plus, his dad is Bum who is borderline Amps. He was sitting on the side of the press conference with his buzz cut and a dip in and the guy is at least 80 years old. That has to get some commendation. Ampy had a good point a couple of weeks ago when he pointed out that maybe I was just a little bit too excited because I was so happy that Fupa was leaving. He is most likely ( as usual ) right. But I have been waiting for 4 years to enjoy my moment in the sun ( and to quote Al Bundy that is asking a lot from the sun), so I will continue whistling zippity doo dah for the next year. I'm not sure that Jason Garrett will be that great, but he will do just as well as Norv Turner. Please. Although Norv did suckle Franklin into fruition this season- which obviously holds an important place in my heart- I still think Wade will be better. As much as the media criticizes Jerry, you can't doubt his committment to delivering a winner. He may be too eccentric and want to stick his nose into everyone's business- but it is his team. Jerry is always going to do that. Mickey Spagnola is always going to do pre season games. Sean Hannity is always going to be annoying. Lisa Law's pussy is always going to stink. You just can't change inherent qualities about people. You just can't. I think it is important that we all cherish this moment- the moment that officially signs off on the Fupa era. Nothing could make me happier- unless Noel Devine and St. Matthew show up with stars on their helmets in the next 2-3 years. For your viewing pleasure, I have included a utube video of Noel running wild in Florida High School football. I have also included a glorious photo of him at the front of the schedule. Thanks to everyone for contributing to Ampsnation, let's keep up the good work.
