Inside the Huddle, By Jordan Harirchi
Questions:
1. What’s a bigger surprise, Del Rio getting fired or Weaver selling the Jaguars?
2. With a 5-1 streak as starting quarterback, will Tim Tebow lead the Broncos to the playoffs?
3. Are you excited the NBA season hasn’t been cancelled?
Jordan:
1. Neither. Everyone saw both coming. With how many times Weaver denied sale talks, I highly doubt the promises to keep the Jags in Jacksonville will stand.
- It really seems too good to be true, but I hope he does. He’s not making it pretty, but he’s providing some sort of magic for the Broncos.
- The only reason NBA basketball trumps NASCAR is because it’s actually entertaining to watch. Besides that, I could make do without the NBA.
Brannock:
- Del Rio? I never thought he would be fired. Actually, I think I’m more surprised it took so long for this to happen. Random fun fact: both Del Rio and Coughlin had 68 wins with the Jags.
-
Statistically, it makes no sense that Tebow has been winning. I guess it’s true, you have to have heart to win.
-
Well, this is yet another thing that I’ve predicted incorrectly this year. I’m happy, mainly because I’m a Heat fan. I’m from Miami and I was there when they were historically bad. Seeing Wade dominate is something I look forward to.
Katie:
- Del Rio was a surprise only because I truly wasn’t expecting the Jags to make a change. The team needs to get to work really badly, here, in Jacksonville. Nowhere else. OK, Shahid Khan? Thank you very much.
-
I’d love to see the Broncos make it to the playoffs. This season Tebow has done a great job with game-changing plays, and it’s a blast to watch it happen. Say what you want about the guy personally, but he’s at worst a great football player and at best, a star.
-
With all the fun and gossipy football stuff going on, who would want to focus on basketball? If I say yes, does that mean I can go back to watching football? OK, then. Yes, I’m stoked beyond belief. Couldn’t be more thrilled, in fact. And … football time.
Greg:
-
Wow, the Jags actually made a move. And then another. I was half expecting a press conference explaining the release of Maurice Jones-Drew. I’m not too surprised about Del Rio’s departure, but to sell the team on the same day?
-
Maybe. But they won’t go anywhere. It’s only a matter of time before teams figure out how to defend the Tebow offense. Like the Dolphins’ wildcat, the Broncos’ O will fizzle out. Or maybe Tebow really is the Messiah.
-
Incredibly. I thought I was going to have to watch football all winter. It doesn’t look like the Jags are making the playoffs this year. So thank God (or Tebow) I can get back to Dwight and company.
