The Skins Getting Briggs from the Bears
Heard the rumor that the Skins are trying to get Briggs from the Bears. Hopefully the deal will fall through. Danny boy is like an addict (a very contagious one I might add): you just can’t count on him to stop doing the same stupid thing over and again. I never really paid attention to Brigg’s play but the way he blew off Chicago after being tagged told me something about this person: lack of tack, egocentric and possibly spoiled. He is at his prime, just came of a SB run.: sure, that is all good. Now he has more to dis-prove than to prove. Why would you lock up someone like that with $50 million for 6 years? (he’s got 7.2 for one year so I guess a long term is worth about 6-50)
On the other hand, Danny boy certainly brings a lot excitement into this otherwise absolutely miserable Skins tale. I can’t imagine what a life it would be for a Cardinals’ fun, if there is such a person.
Too bad the whole vortex (Danny’s good and Danny’s bad) sucks down a good man in Joe Gibbs. If he retires today, his second coaching stint looks like a deer caught in the headlight. He has yet to be a leader, a creative force in the game of football like he was before.
Money corrupts and Danny’s money corrupts absolutely.
