How about Marvin Lewis. He signs criminal after criminal and has one winning season. He was a defensive coordinator and as head coach his defenses are always awful. He has one of the most talented teams in football and has never won a playoff game. I know that he has brought this team up a level, but that talent should have accomplished more.

I know this is a football conversation, but how Isaiah Thomas is still employed by an NBA team is beyond me. He must have naked pictures of James Dolan with a goat or something. A bad coach and even a worse GM, it is just blows my mind.

Ive often wondered the same thing myself. Although, this year he actually made a couple of decent moves. The talent in the frontline cant be argued with.

Chuck, I hate Thomas so much, that I root against the Knicks now. Thomas and Dolan has ruined the whole organization so much that I really hate them. I want them to lose every game so Thomas will get fired and pray I that Dolan sells the team (and the Rangers for that matter). They are the laughingstock of the NBA, and maybe even the rest of the sports world.

Looking back at just the stats one thing that sticks out is that with the exception of the late season games against dreadful Tampa and Detroit, Grossman played poorly in almost every tight game or loss. Week 3 against Minn he was bad, Week 6 against AZ (the devin Hester comeout party) he was bad, the loss vs Miami he was awful as well as the Jets game (they shut the Jets out otherwise it might have been a loss too) and he was terrible against NE too. When a team that was playing Defense like the Bears were last year, he was constantly put into situations where he had do ok (the other teams defense spending too much time on the field because the o was 3 and out all the time) plus the turnover margin and Hesters returns were putting them in positive field position all the time. Well the Defense aint the same this year for many reasons and ol Rex aint getting the nice setups that he was and the results are as expected, miserable.

A bad coach and perhaps an even worse GM, but if the testimony coming out of that trial is to be believed, he's quite the eloquent wordsmith, a staunch women's advocate and a real class act.

Marvin Lewis doesn't sign players, Mike Brown does. Lewis just coaches them. I'm not sure if Lewis is solely responsible for player personnel decisions on that team. It he is, then yeah I guess.
