1998 Part 1 | Commish Letters

 

 

 

 

Well keep the boots, Murph. You need them to walk through the trash you picked. I doubt you will escape the cellar. These must be vary emotional times for you. It doesn't matter because football is over when you get married anyway. We gave you Chicago for good luck and they almost won!!! Imagine that. What do you do when your best team is the Giants? At least they are on TV a lot.

 

Bill takes New England for the third year in a row and gets the Raiders back in the fold. No secret here, why change. He just likes to root for his favorite teams weeks after week. Happy 0‑3 start Bill.

 

I am impressed by champion Joe's courage to move on to San Francisco. I am amazed at his focus on picking the top teams and his complete disregarding year after year for his second and third picks. Arizona a second rounder???

 

John is off out of control this year. After his first year out of the money I think he is finally going down. I guess there is not much time for research with seven kids around. Maybe Jacksonville is an obvious choice. We'll see.

 

And finally we get to Gerry. Never much to write about on Gerry's picking ability. Not much to say this year either. Key pick Saints over Bears though.

 

Worst first round pick Tampa Bay. Why did Miami go so low? Best third round picks Atlanta and Seattle. Worst picks overall? Carolina/Oakland way too early.
