NFL Coaches Fight Club: the Tournament. Because we have nothing better to do than predict what might happen if head coaches started punching each other in the face.
If the handful of guys I mentioned yesterday advanced to the second round of Fake Fight Club based on the on-field success of the teams they coach over their ability to throw (or take) a punch, this matchup is exactly the opposite.
Tom Cable (1) and Steve Spagnuolo (4) face off after disposing of Wade Phillips and Bill Belichick, respectively. (Now that I think about it, Wade and Bill would also comprise the worst tag-team partnership in fake fighting history.) Combined, the Raiders and Rams are 2-12 (the Cowboys and Patriots are 9-4), so the head coaches aren't still in the tourney because they're popular with the hometown crowds.
They're still around because in make-believe world, their hands are registered weapons, they have some tickets to the gun show for you, and so on and so forth. Cable would appear to have the advantage because he's the type of guy who unwinds by going to a bar with the express purpose of beating the crap out of some people.
And while Spags is in good shape, and probably pretty quick on his feet, Cable is the same dude who (allegedly) punched Raiders assistant Randy Hanson in the gourd before (allegedly) threatening to kill him. Hanson looks to be in good shape and pretty quick on his feet. Neither mattered to Cable's Hulk Fists.
If Cable handles Spags it could portend good things for his run to the final four. The next-round opponent will either be Raheem Morris or Jim Harbaugh, two young guys in relatively good shape, sorta like Spags. This assumes, of course, that voters go solely by the measurables. They don't, otherwise Josh McDaniels would have been crushed under the weight of Jeff Fisher's mustache and mullet.
But unlike Fisher, Cable will cave your face in if you don't do exactly what he says. You've been warned.

What? Huh?....are you actually all there anymore Wilson? Perhaps your wit is what?...making any sense at all. Is this the best you can do? Do you have ANYTHING pertinent to say?Maybe you should go back to your bandwagon statements you like so much. At least then you can wait a year or so and then back track on what you put into print.Although it is hard to regurgitate the garbage that comes out of your blog over time isn't it.Its funny how you always bring in Belichik into so many of your blogs.if not him then Brady.Your know that kind of fixation is considered a disease...a psyc disease.So tell all of us....WHAT TEAM in the NFL do you support.....that answer will reveal a lot about what you have written in the past.ASKED before got no reply...WONDER WHY?
