Gruden has earned the nickname of “Chucky” for his resemblance to the
murderous doll of movie fame, and Gruden certainly had the knife out last night
broadcasting the Bears-Chargers’ game.
The
last time I heard Gruden do a Bears’ broadcast, he was all techno-babble, on
why the Calais-stunt on two made perfect sense to counter a draw play. But Monday night, the ex-Buccaneers’ coach
kept unloading on San Diego. Either
Gruden is best friends with the Bears’ John Fox, or he wants to coach the
Chargers. San Diego has had a ton of
injuries, as Gruden himself noted, but that didn’t stop the vitriol;
apparently, the second and third string in Tampa Bay played like All Pros when
Coach Gruden needed them. Forget that
the Chargers could have tied the game late with a field goal, or that they were
just one Chicago defensive breakdown from pulling the game out (and the Bears
are nothing if not generous in that regard).
No, it was all—
At
which point, I hit the mute button.
