What is \u201cart,\u201d really? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Subjectivity or objectivity is the focal point of the eternal debate of whether speckled ketchup on a golden toilet bowl commands an auction price in the high ten digits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m no art critic, of course, but the prevailing wisdom that art, much like the Supreme Court\u2019s views on pornography, is \u201cyou\u2019ll know it when you see it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When applied to the NFL this idea, that looks and \u201cfeel\u201d around a team or player has anything to do with their future or current success, baffles me. How much does coaching have to do with a team\u2019s ability to push people three feet or more? Who decides what a person is owed for doing their job? What is \u201crough?\u201d These are the more or less subjectively absurd narratives we\u2019ll look at this week\u2026 with the caveat that I, again, have never played or coached football in any capacity other than Madden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are Week 6\u2019s Most Absurd Narratives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019d told me after the first month of the season Philly would be the only undefeated team and only one of the NFC East\u2019s member teams would be under .500, I wouldn\u2019t necessarily have dismissed it entirely out-of hand. Largely unlikely, sure. However, it\u2019s the NFL and Deshaun Watson still has a job, so nothing has to make 100% sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though it\u2019s an interesting time for the East, the NFC as a whole has been\u2026underwhelming at best. The Eagles are 5-0, which is great for the notoriously meek and well-behaved fans in the City of Brotherly Cheesesteaks. However, it brings to mind what I say when my son asks why 6-0 Directional Arkansas Tech isn\u2019t ranked:
\u201cThey ain\u2019t played nobody!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seriously, the Eagles have managed to win five games against, well, nobody. The Lions, Vikings, Commanders, Jaguars, and Cardinals are a combined 10-15, and only the Vikings have a winning record. If you\u2019ll recall, the Eagles-Vikings game was on a Monday night, and we\u2019re all aware that Directional Arkansas Tech could hold Primetime Kirk to 80 yards and three picks, so I count that as \u201cnobody.\u201d Ultimately, the Jury\u2019s still out on the Eagles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for the Giants; hey, they beat Aaron Rodgers! Brian Daboll\u2019s a gutsy, respectable commander! Daniel Jones\u2019 hand was bloody for some reason! I\u2019m willing to chalk this one up to circumstances surrounding the Packers\u2019 first-ever trip to Tottenham Hotspur and the continuing repercussions of letting your (fan-pushing) world-beating WR1 walk and replacing him with bus-stop guys. As the soon-to-be former Mrs. Brady once famously uttered: \u201c[he] cannot f*cking throw the ball and<\/strong> catch.\u201d The Giants are the Giants; Daniel Jones is still a serial fumbler, they have nobody of note catching passes, and unfortunately, it\u2019s only a matter of time before shouldering the weight of New York\u2019s fanbase ends up snapping something important in Saquon Barkley\u2019s lower half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We end with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
