Comments on: TheAgitator.com’s NFL Preview. Part One.. http://www.theagitator.com/2002/08/31/theagitatorcoms-nfl-preview-part-one/ It rankles me when somebody tries to tell somebody what to do.

They were a fraud under the God of Fraud (Jimmy Johnson) and they're a fraud now. They are congenitally unable to run the football. (And congenitally unable to stop talking about how they're <i>going</i> to run the football this year, for sure, uh huh.) Ricky Williams won't change that. Dungy is a fascinating study indeed, and the study ain't complete yet. Is he a tragic figure, is the question? That is, did his time in the Steel Curtain so fill him with aversion to offense that he really would rather lose 9-7 than win 41-38? It's at least possible that that's the case. Me, I don't get it, since Chuck Noll was perfectly willing to score points when necessary. That's why we have all those beautiful highlight reels of Swann and Stallworth on the invisible parallel bars. I really want Dungy not to be a tragic figure. But then, I really want the Steelers to win the AFC. On the subject of frauds, the Dolphins are a fraud year in and year out.
