To Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler, for throwing four interceptions to the same person in their 17-14 home loss to the Washington Redskins. Cutler was also sacked four times and the Bears offense committed six turnovers altogether. CB DeAngelo Hall was the lucky recipient on all four of Cutler's interceptions. The second one was a highlight, as he made the interception with one hand and proceeded to take it 92 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, which proved to be the last score and the game-winner. Cutler threw a touchdown and also completed 65% of his passes, but the turnovers did them in.
C'Mon Man. How do you get picked off by the same guy four times in one game? How does it happen against Hall of all people, who is overrated? After the second interception, Cutler had no business going Hall's direction for the rest of the game. You have CB Carlos Rogers on the other side, who everyone knows he can't catch. I'm trying to pick him apart if I'm Cutler, but his Vanderbilt education was for naught. The more troubling part is his postgame comments. He basically stated he threw Hall's direction all game because he knows Hall isn't good. Well, my friend, I thought the same thing too. But he didn't intercept me four times. He did that to you so the next time you play against him, change your strategy after the first interception.
To Oklahoma Sooners football coach Bob Stoops, for punting the ball down nine with a little over two minutes left in their loss against Missouri. The Sooners had a 4th down at their own 7 yard line down two scores. Usually, coaches will go for it in hopes of a start to a dramatic comeback. Instead, Stoops sent out his punt team, and the Missouri ended up winning the game by nine. Stoops explained afterwards that it was "futile" to go for it on 4th down pinned that deep in their own territory. Oklahoma was #1 in the BCS standings going into the game, and after that loss, they dropped to #9.
C'Mon Man. Herman Edwards famously said, "You play to win the game. HELLO!" I don't think Stoops was paying attention when Edwards said that. There's no way you punt in that situation. How can you expect your team to play hard for you for 60 minutes if you give up on the opportunity for a comeback? It doesn't make any sense. But don't blame Stoops. Blame the BCS. Stoops clearly did it so Missouri won't score another touchdown and blow out the Sooners. He knows that would've dipped them even lower in the BCS rankings had they scored again. It's time to get rid of this stupid BCS system and create a real playoff system. The excuses have to go and a real champion needs to be determined. Call me if you want a playoff format for college football. I already got one thought out.
To FOX Sports, for making the NFL on FOX theme music the universal theme music for all FOX Sports presentations. People began to take notice during Game 1 of the NLCS between the Giants and the Phillies. Every time they were going to a commercial break, they would play the NFL on FOX theme. Most people were searching for answers via Twitter or other social networking sites. FOX Sports explained afterwards that they made the NFL on FOX their universal theme music, and therefore ditched every other theme music.
C'Mon Man. How you do something like that? They had me thinking it was Sunday and the New York Giants were playing. There's no way a switch like this is good for FOX Sports. The NFL on FOX theme music is synonymous with the NFL and the hard-hitting action every Sunday. The MLB on FOX theme music was synonymous with MLB on Saturdays and October. They may not change it before the end of this World Series, but they certainly have to change it back to how it used to be for next season. I will stop watching baseball on FOX if they play the NFL theme music. It doesn't sound good with baseball, period. I don't know who suggested the idea to FOX Sports, but whoever did, it's a big FAIL. Some sports are synonymous with theme music, for example, the NBA on NBC, Monday Night Football on ABC, and college basketball on CBS. I would have to say the NFL on FOX and the MLB on FOX is close behind, so don't ruin it forever.
