We're Not The Worst, We're Not The Worst

The Cincinnati
Bengals have posted a non-losing record this
season. It's also a non-winning record, being 8-8.
But it is apparent that
Marvin Lewis has transformed the
stripey hat guys from a timid, tentative, junior
college bunch into a professional team that believes
it can win every week (even if it doesn't) and for
that, he should be at or near the top of most Coach
Of The Year polls. How nice for the team that it
doesn't have to speculate on who will be the next
head coach for the first time since, seemingly, the
Einsenhower administration. (Of course, if you're in
Washington, Oakland, New York, Buffalo, Atlanta,
Arizona, or Chicago, get ready for a delightful game
of musical chairs...) Oh yeah: Who is the worst? All
things being equal, it's still the Cardinals, but the
Giants made a
great case for themselves.
The Knicks seem to have become energized by the addition of Isiah Thomas to the front office and have won 4 straight games. They also got rid of Clarence Weatherspoon in exchange for Moochie Norris in a deal with The Rockets. Now if Isiah can find somebody to unload Eisley and Anderson on, the Knickerbockers may be on a upswing. Too many point guards, but Frank Williams looks solid and occasionally brilliant in his new starter role, and Charlie Ward may be next on the trading block.
Christmas was fun and low-key, enough loot all around but not enough to be overkill. I emailed a bunch of friends the Official Holiday Card, and I heard back from many of them. I now have to get around to replying to those messages...(If you didn't receive the Official Holiday Card, it may be that Chet the intern doesn't have your proper address in the database. He's new, after all, so I cut him some slack. Help him out...Even if you think we have your email address, we may not, so drop a line in our ebox.)
