Gut Reactions are overplayed in the media. Suddenly, the St. Louis Cardinals are the "worst World Series Champions" ever. Right.
Better to be the worst champs ever, than to be the best to not win, right? I'm sure the Mariners of a few years back would trade twenty or so wins in the regular season for a ring.
Suddenly, Ben Roethlisberger is a bust, and the most overrated QB in the NFL. Suddenly, he's back to being only a game manager.
Guess we've so quickly forgotten the playoffs last year, when he outplayed Peyton Manning to give his team the lead they would hold on and win with.
Suddenly, John L. Smith might not get fired. That comeback against Northwestern might save his job.
Guess we're so quickly to forget that they fell into that hole against Northwestern. And, that we're to quickly forget about the collapse against an above-average Notre dame team?
Oh well ... that will at least be corrected with the game this week. As I type, it's 30-7 Indiana.
Seriously, can the media please back off gut reactions? Remember about 11 months ago when last year's USC team was among the ten greatest of all time? Then, quickly, they became among the best to not win the title?
