A comment by Joe Namath on the Butler interception:<br /><br />"You know, I am a guy that believed Pete [Carroll] made the right call that didn’t work. Earlier in the game, there were situations where [Marshawn] Lynch was stopped for no gain. When you see eight New England Patriots at the line of scrimmage to stop the run, that’s not just eight players up there, that’s eight Patriots that are pretty darn stout, or they wouldn’t be there in that position in the first place. Given the belief that Pete knows, with his coaches, exactly what they want to do in a given situation, what is the best opportunity, I really believe he called the play that they figured would be best with single coverage, and not butting heads, and in that given situation, with the time and the one timeout. It just didn’t work. That young man [Malcolm] Butler made a great play. I don’t believe Russell Wilson saw Butler. Having played the position before, had he seen Butler in that break position, he would have maybe put it on the receiver’s back shoulder. But it was such a flash, you know. From where Butler was, and came from, I really believe Russell didn’t see Butler, and he threw a strike right out there in front of the receiver. If you get real picky, you would have thought that the receiver would have been coming harder inside, a step faster. When I watch his body movement, watch his break inside, I don’t think it was as explosive as it could have been. I give all the credit in the world to Butler for making an absolutely great play and, wow, what a hero, coming from where he came from onto that team. What a finish for the season for him, boy."<br /><br />As I said in my original post, it's not the play that I would have called, but, if football guys like Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick and Joe Namath think it made sense, it sure makes it an argument. Also, to Namath's credit, in the same interview he said that he's seen them all and that Brady was the best. Can't fault a man for agreeing with my opinion.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038118012770250140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33957555.post-30996714425419120322015-02-09T16:53:53.414-08:002015-02-09T16:53:53.414-08:00There it is.

But, don't just say I'm wrong - what did I say that was wrong about the NFL (and I'm still in mourning right now about the season being over)? Bill Belichick agrees with me on the pass at least - hard to call him ignorant about football. As for my MVP choice, any number of those it would be hard to call ignorant about football would agree.

However, your writing, particularly when describing first person events, is marvelous. Always rings true.

It's now called Different Pointe of View. It used to be called Etienne's Different Pointe of View. Its on the property of the Hilton. Both in terms of seeting, view and food my favorite of all time. Now I never had prime rib there so I can't compare that to the Wobbly Barn.<br />DonDonnoreply@blogger.com
