And this is what I love about Sports Guy

One day after he infuriates me with more whining about the lack of respect for New England, he starts with some level-headed analysis of their problems on both sides of the running game and ends with one of his best jokes in recent memory:

Eagles (PK) over FALCONS
Quick preview impression of Michaels and Madden on Monday night:

Michaels: "Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb?"

Madden: "Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb."

Michaels: "Which raises a great point -- Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb."

Madden: "Absolutely. Al, this is what it's all about, right here -- Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb."

Michaels: "Let's go down to Michele Tafoya."

Tafoya: "Al, I just talked to Andy Reid, and he said, 'Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb...'"

He left out a little Michael Vick love, but that would be no different than this entire summer in terms of NFL coverage and I'm sure that the ABC production crew is going to order them to hammer the personality angle over and over and over again, just like they did last night with their Tom Brady fellatio. And another beef with ABC: the pre-game festivities last night made bowl game halftime shows seem subtle. Ozzy Osborne on top of a giant Patriots helmet singing "Crazytrain" with a prozac permagrin while the defending champions come running out, looking strangely business-like? And nothing screams football like Freddie Prinze, Jr. Or the Stones and Santana for everyone whose musical tastes haven't changed since the 70s. Thank G-d college football teams have too much self-respect to let their big games start with this drivel. Ohio State, please don't disappoint me by having Celine Dion belting out "My Heart Will Go On" when the Bucks take the field tomorrow night.
