Oh Come On

Did Andy Reid take a dump on Mike Florio's rosebushes?  Or perhaps PFT's creator is just channeling all the agents who use him to do their dirty work (and don't like the Eagles organization)?

Either way, that dude is going certifiably off the reservation right now about the Eagles.  I'm not going to get into all the random, unsourced crap he's throwing out, but I did want to -- again -- highlight the stupidity of this:

During the segment, Angelo Cataldi and company played a clip from coach Andy Reid’s Monday press conference, during which beat writer Mark Eckel lobbed an oversized softball to the ten-year head coach regarding whether he knew that a regular-season game ends in a tie after the 15-minute overtime sesssion.

Reid whiffed.

Though Reid never expressly admitted that he didn’t know about ties, he never says that he did.  Based on the exchange, reasonable minds could differ on whether Reid was aware of this fairly fundamental component of the sport of pro football.

McNabb’s legacy already is permanently stained by his admitted ignorance and the nonchalant manner in which he confessed it; if it turns out that Reid didn’t know, he should be fired on the spot.

Ok, one more time, very ... slowly ... now.

Look.  At.  The.  Play.  By.  Play.  (Convenient link here.)

Scroll all the way down.  Notice how Reid used both his OT timeouts right before the two-minute warning, to preserve as much time as possible for his offense when they got the ball back.  (Notice as well how the Bengals helped by throwing that incomplete pass.)

Reading PFT these days is like studying for an exam.  I have to know the material, but there's zero joy in doing it.
