Take Green Bay at home in December against a weak team If you doubt this go look in the mirror12 with a unanimous decision of his own in Chicago3 media center memory was of Juan Pablo MontoyaUnfortunately with all due respect to MrOne of my holiday wishes had been grantedLook at the bottom feeders in the Big Ten or SEC22 Discount Tire Dodge in the NNS in 2010Whether he's going to Chicago Orlando or Miamidoesn't matterQ Everyone thought the offensive line would be betterThey were not focusing on how strong a game the Boys played against a very good team how they exploited them and their weak defense and their flash and pazzaz offense wit their inadequate run game. Our offense was superior to theirs and our defense out shine them as well. I just wish the pundits would give credit when credit is due. They say that the Cowboys acted as if they won the championship when they did just win. And the MVP of the game was a player that just 6 days ago was carted off the field with a neck injury that looked serious and that player is none other than my favorite Cowboy 94 Demarcus Ware. The Cowboys get that much needed victory in December that everybody's been waiting on. With only the Redskins and Eagles left on the schedule they are peeking at the right time. 
Taking momentum into the playoffs is key for any team that wants to take hold of the Lombardi Trophy something that this proud organization has been fortunate enough to win 5 times second only to the defending champion Steelers 6 wins.. First of all, let's get this out of the way: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is the greatest Christmas movie of all time. You can argue for Home Alone or A Christmas Story all you want, but those arguments will fall on deaf ears here. Every other holiday movie is unwatchable in my book.So, I'm watching Christmas Vacation for the 13th or 14th time (those are very conservative estimates) and I can't help but notice a parrallel or two between Clark W Griswold, Jr. and Gopher Football Coach Tim Brewster.In the movie, Clark has quite a dilemma. He's the ultimate family man, working his tail off to provide his wife and children with a lovely home and fun-filled vacations. This year he's decided to take his Christmas bonus and install a swimming pool for the family. Small problem: he didn't have enough money in his bank account to cover the check he wrote for the deposit. That reminds me an awful lot of Gophers coach Tim Brewster. Brewster arrived in Minnesota as quite the optimist. His mouth wrote a check that his team couldn't cover when Brewster was introduced to the media. He promised "Gopher Nation" a Rose Bowl. Three years into his tenure, the Gophers haven't come close to those lofty expectations They were atrocious the first year.
He had spent the entire holiday season working, preparing, and scheming for a wonderful holiday for himself and his family. He brought in Offensive Coordinator Mike Dunbar and his spread offense: that experiment failed miserably. It was like driving out to the middle of nowhere to find the perfect tree and forgetting to bring a saw. It was way more trouble than it was worth.Tim Davis was hired to coordinate the running game and coach the offensive line. Hopefully someone figures out which switch needs to be flipped. Where's Beverly D'Angelo when you need herIf Brewster is Clark Griswold, Joel Maturi is Mr Shirley. Brewster's anticipating an extension; so far Maturi's given him a membership to the Jelly of the Month Club.
