Yeah, Madden

You can say what you want about John Madden; if you spent most of your life on a bus and eating most of your meals at Outback Steakhouse, you might not always be lucid either.

(By the way, I hear Don Cherry has had his share of suspect moments, hockey boy.)

Yes, Madden wasn't in the locker room, and nor are most of those other so-called "experts." But he saw Brady on the field Sunday night, and he's seen Brady play enough to know when the man lacks passion. And I've seen him the past few weeks; he's still spouting the company line with the media, but he hasn't been doing it with the same conviction.

The chemistry thing is a work in progress, and count me among those who thinks they might have something with Doug Gabriel -- if Jerry Rice raves about him, he's probably pretty talented. (Unless, of course, you want to discount the opinion of the greatest wide reciever to ever play the game.) And if Brady keeps working as hard as he has with the wideouts, I don't doubt there will be improvement.

Just like I said, though, things have to be worked out by the bye week, both on the field and in Brady's mind.

You got something new you want to get e-slammed with?

Sha-zam!
