I thought I'd throw a shout out to the veterans in the room with the title of this thread, although I know I'm mixing terminologies with the Hot Wash and SITREP meaning essentially the same thing. What can you expect from a Navy guy? Anyhow, I wanted to start a thread on overall post-season thoughts (sadly yes that's where we are) and most notably something I'm sincerely concerned about; where will Fangio end up next? I can only hope back in Chicago... I still love watching football and although the beloved are no longer in the mix as a fan of the sport, I'll still watch and cheer for a team (or two) that I think are deserving. For now my pick for this years Championship will be New Orleans versus Kansas City. Why KC? Well for one, I can't bear the thought of seeing NE in another Super Bowl...they've had enough. And the other, I'm really believing Andy Reid is due. Yes I know he's been there before but the guy is due a championship at least once. If for nothing else his 'coaching tree' has proven more successful, so far, than even Bill Belichek's. I mean if you include Reid, until last night there were four coaches (Reid, Nagy, Pederson and Reich) from the Reid School of Coaching. That's pretty damn impressive. And based on what I've seen with Nagy and heard about Reid, he's a damn good human being (besides being a solid coach). On the other side and sticking with the 'human' factor, how can you not pull for Drew Brees? This guy has done it all with relatively low recognition. Won a Super Bowl AND been chosen as the NFL Man of the Year without ever getting an MVP for the season or Super Bowl. The guy is a true legend in not just his play but his relation to his team, his community and his fellow man. Someone you really encourage young players to emulate. Good luck KC and NO.
