The Things We Think and Do Not Say

1. The futility that is the Atlanta Falcons is as much Michael Vick's fault as it is that of the coordinators and coaches.
2. Michael Vick is far too sensitive.
3. Black Enterprise magazine, though I love and respect Earl Graves, really dropped the ball by not printing any of the letters about their 'Top 50 Colleges' list.
4. Chris Collinsworth says several questionably racist things on 'Inside the NFL.'
5. Steve Young doesn't like Michael Irvin, and really doesn't want to sit next to him on the ESPN set.
6. If Michael Irvin doesn't make the Hall of Fame, it will be his own fault.
7. Maybe that Eli Manning-Philip Rivers trade was a great idea after all.
8. If LaDanian Tomlinson is not the NFL MVP then what credible reason could be used?
9. There's a strong chance that Tony Romo could make the ProBowl.
10. ESPN is like nectar from Mt. Olympus.
11. The loss of Ed Bradley leaves a deeper void in credible and professional journalism than one could imagine.
12. Why are the vast majority of sports talk radio hosts rabid right wingers?
13. Bob Costas is overrated.
14. There should be term limits in the United States Senate and in the House of Representatives.
15. Vince Young is going to prove them wrong on this level, just like he did on the previous level. That's what he does. He defies odds.
16. Notre Dame is the most overrated, unproven and pumped up team in all of sport.
17. If you read more about famous people, you'll like them less and less.
18. 'Stop This Train' by John Mayer is a beautiful song.
19. Jay-Z has become a bigger star than anyone in rap history.
20. Beatles 'Love' is well worth the sticker price.
21. There are some great movies coming out in December, but my guilty pleasure has to be 'Rocky Balboa.'
22. Joe Theisman isn't good at what he does because he's a contrarian. He was an okay quarterback, who on the strength of others won a Super Bowl, and thinks he's Unitas.
23. If Dungy doesn't get it done this year, the fingers will start pointing his way.
24. Why did Romo sit on the bench for so long?
25. If the Falcons don't have a winning season, it will be one of the greatest wastes of talent in the history of the NFL.
26. Falcon fans, like Redskin fans before them, must learn that just because the owner spends a lot of money doesn't mean that you're going to win the Super Bowl. You still have to play the games.
27. If I ever see John Ridley on the street, it's on.
28. Michael Richards should go on Larry King Live and get it over with.

I'm Joe, and that's how I see it.
