From superb to mediocre The phenomenon of an All-Pro or near-All-Pro losing his identity on a new team always has interested me. What is it that turns him into, well, just another guy? Why are many former stars looking so average? |

Super Sunday night game topped MNF Yeah, I know, I seem to be on a rip-the-Monday-night-crew kick. But here's the thing that capsuled it for me: At halftime, all we heard was how "entertaining" the game was. I didn't hear that word used one time on Sunday night, when some real football was played. |

No love from Philly My answer: The game was played in September. The Eagles were better then; the Saints, I feel, are better now. Plus, I didn't see one of you birds taking note of the fact that the Giants, who beat the Iggles not once but twice -- and quite convincingly, too -- were ranked four spots lower... |

MNF 2000 should schtick to basics In his defense, Dennis Miller seems like a nice guy, and he did a good job memorizing little snappers from the press books and probably conversations with the teams' p.r. staffs as well. Is this really football knowledge, or just a student cramming for an exam? |
