I just went to get some things off my chest right now.
Today I took a test for my Comm340 class. It deals with the principles of interviewing and how to conduct interviews. After taking the test today I knew I did poorly on it. There are so many times where I have taken a test and not done well on it and I have taken responsibility for it. I may not have studied hard enough or I did not put enough effort into studying. Today was a totally different experience. Today I knew the material but the test was not a normal multiple choice test. It was a short answer fill in the blank test. It dealt with a bunch of terms that had to be explained off of the top of my head. If this were a multiple choice test I know I would have done really well. I could not think of the exact terms and my mind went blank on questions I know I knew the answers to. I am just really depressed.
As I drove home in misery, I listened to a radio talk show and the opening segment dealt with the Philadelphia Eagles and their struggles. Ok the Eagles just lost 2 game they should have won. Chicago and Washington. It kills me knowing that we lost these games. We are in the most competitve division in football and sufferring two losses puts us out of reach. Only 3 of these 4 teams can make it into the playoffs and I will damn near kill myself if the Eagles do not reach the playoffs this year. Joke as much as you want, but deep down Donovan McNabb is an amazing quarterback, with all the talent in the world and he is a very outstanding leader. The Eagles and all of their fans expect Donovan to go out and have amazing games. It may not be every game but for the most part he is suppose to play above the bar. He has all the athletic ability in the world but when Andy Reid does not unleash the playbook and calls this conservative plays we are not going to get anywhere. I believe we can win with the talent on this team but when role players such as Greg Lewis and our incumbent TE L.J Smith drop passes it really grinds my gears. One more thing Desean Jackson you are one hell of a player. But you are young and you make rookie mistakes, and those mistakes are like a dagger to my heart. But, you can only get better and you are a very promising player. Please dont bust a Freddie Mitchell.
For some of you Charger Fans out there... LT is hurt, Gates is hurt, everyone is hurt. I personally believe LT is holding the Chargers back right now. His health issues do not allow him to do what we are used to seeing and we are trying to push him to get healthy. He is not young anymore. I also don't think they trust Sproles and/or Hester to carry the load for this team either. If Michael Turner were still here and LT was in this situation, I think LT would sit. Sproles in the man and I love him but I don't think LT and the Chargers coaching staff trust him enough, and thats why LT is still in the games. You know I hope I am wrong about all this because I do not want to see the Chargers lose. LT isnt the same. He is no Shaun Alexander and will not go from an MVP runningback to a dud. Michael Turner was a blessing and I am glad he has his chance to be a superstar in Atlanta, but he went for free which sucks for us.
Im sad.
On a brighter note, the flags I ordered for Flag Football came in today. Im excited. See you at WV on saturday.
