Putzy Pete – Inglewood Sports Page

For the first time in recent memory I find myself in disagreement with Stephen A. Stephen is of the opinion that Pete Carroll is a good fit as the Raiders’ new coach. The only way that Pete is a fit might be that his unconventional style of play calling, is likely to fit right in with the Raiders’ unconventional style of micro-management.

As I said last week, I can just barely stomach Tom Brady as a part owner of the Raiders, but now I’m literally gagging over the prospect of “Putzy Pete”Carroll to lead this sh*t show.

Secondly, I detect the slightest stench of some strange fruit emanating from the poplar tree, in Vegas.

After “Chucky” Gruden screwed the pooch, over some salaciously racist, misogynistic, and homophobic emails surfaced in the mid-season, Chucky resigned and the Raiders handed Antonio Pierce a broken mess, plagued with a broken quarterback and a couple of empty suits on the field, playing quarterback, leaving empty seats on the bench where courageous yet ineffective butts would have been better served had they just remained seated.

Antonio Pierce was kicked to the curb like a punter with a sore toe, He had just barely finished a full season and they changed the combination on his locker. He wasn’t even given a chance to put his own staff together.

On the other hand “putzy Pete apparently has carte blanche and a 3 year contract, to put together a coaching staff and another shot at the big time.

These youngsters on the right are my grandson and his “play” cousin, Chris. Probably fifteen years after this picture, Chris played a monster game of football in Superbowl XLIX against Tom Brady and the Patriots. Chris, a 6 foot 5, wide receiver, towering over the Pat’s defense pulled down four grabs for 109 yards and a touchdown, keeping the score tit for tat. With the clock running down and Marshawn Lynch just fifteen yards away from paydirt and the line of scrimmage a mere four yards from a touchdown, “Putzy Pete” called a pass play, that was intercepted and Seattle lost the game. My play grandson, Chris ended up being traded to Baltimore and I lost him and his parents in my divorce.

That sports fans is why I disagree with Stephan A. Smith, Mark Davis and mostly Tom Brady – Pete Carroll is a Putz, an irresponsible play caller and a career killing knucklehead.

As I have previously reported, the average shelf life of a Raiders’ coach is around 4 years. That’s just outside of Pete’s shakey little contract.

Back in the mid 1990’s, I waited that long for former Raiders’ quarterback, Jeff Hostetler to finally exit the world stage, once the Raiders soured on his weak offensive production.

However, this recent change in the front office is mind blowing. I am so perturbed and disjointed with the Raiders whole disorganized management that I plan to spend my Sunday dalliances next season, at SoFi Stadium, experimenting with Dual Citizenship, supporting the Rams and Chargers. Don’t get me wrong, my allegiance to the Raiders remains as always, but we’re just seeing other people while they try yet another risky unforced error. Like teenagers experimenting with the latest lotion that’s guaranteed to pop their pimples, the team and “Putzy” Pete will likely have the pick of the pimpily faced graduating college quarterbacks at the Combine, scheduled in late February. The goal will be to try and keep butts in the seats at Allegiant Stadium, but its the butts on the bench that keep terrorizing the playoff swing. Their house has a nice retractable dome, but It’s too darned cold to be walking around on the Vegas strip after losing another game.

The 2025 NFL Season is set to begin on September 4th, hosted by the reigning Superbowl Champions, either the Chiefs or the Eagles.

Play ball.
