Playboy Playmate Carmella Decesare – her man, Jeff Garcia, the Hero of NFL Monday Night Football

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Our hero and girlfriend Carmella Decesare
The Philadelphia Eagles tightened the race for the wild card by beating the Carolina Panthers 27 – 24.
The list of possible heroes in this game is endless. There was rookie DeAngelo Williams slicing all over the field, not just running, but catching the ball too. He has really come on as of late. There was Superstar Steve Smith making ridiculous catches and scoring a great touchdown. There was Donte Stallworth hauling in an awesome bomb. Bryant Westbrook touching the ball on almost every play it seemed. Keyshawn Johnson catching his 800th career NFL pass. Julius Peppers practically taking the Philadelphia long snaps. But in the end, it was Jeff Garcia.
My mind goes back to… my Lions memories of Jeff Garcia. They are not pleasant memories.
9 minutes to go. Garcia throws a TD.
7 minutes to go.
Delhomme throws a bad interception. The score is tied and he lofts the ball into the middle of the field with nobody open.
Carolina tries to stop Westbrook. It was their defensive game plan, because there was no Donovan McNabb.
Jeff never did nothing with the Lions.
Julius Peppers is after Jeff Garcia. The 36 year old somehow avoids him and makes the first down running out of the pocket down around the 12 yard line.
Didn’t Jeff break his leg or something scrambling for Detroit? On a play where he was not even touched.
Philly tries a trick play with Westbrook taking the snap at QB. Theisman gives them a hard time for not sticking with Garcia. They gain a yard.
Jeff throws a pass to the 7. He is 21 of 39 for 311 yards and 3 TDs at this point.
Did he even throw for 3 TDs his whole time in Detroit?
David Ackers lines up for the field goal. He is 26 of 26 at Lincoln Financial Field for field goals under 40 yards. The referees debate over just giving it to him and playing extra commercials, but he kicks it anyway.
Andy Reid, the Philly Coach, is 11 – 16 in the regular season since going to 4 NFC Championships and one Super Bowl. He looks like he eats his meals out of a Super Bowl.
The field goal is good.
Have any Lions ever kicked a game winning field goal? Did the Lions even win a game that Garcia played in?
The talk returns to Donovan McNabb. He is supposed to be the hero. In the last 4 years, he has had a broken leg, sports hernia, and now a torn ACL. He is 30. He says it is the new 20 in the NFL. It is probably the same old 30. You are getting old dude. It will heal slower.
Jeff is 36. He looked about 56 when he played for the Lions. He is throwing bombs in this game and could not even throw 10 yards in Mooch’s West Coast Non-Offense.
Joe Theisman talks up Keyshawn Johnson. Delhomme throws him a 24 yard pass to set up Carolina at the 34 yard line. By the way, Delhomme threw it to Johnson not Theisman.
The talk goes to the NFC wildcard race with Philly winning it has Philly, Carolina, the Giants, and the Falcons all knotted up with 6 – 6 records.
Did anyone mention the Lions are going to win the rights to the first draft pick?
On a reverse, Steve Smith runs to the 7 yard line. Maybe he will be the hero?
Delhomme pulls out the same play used to score Keyshawn earlier on a fade into the right corner of the end zone. Only Lito Sheppard pushes off Keyshawn and makes the interception. It’s a 5′ 10″ guy catching a ball thrown over a 6′ 4″ guy. Keyshawn should have been the hero.
Theisman said it was not interference. Him and Kornheiser to not seem to get along.
They flash a stat that Philly is 24 – 20 in Monday night games. You can count Detroit’s Monday Night Football games on one hand. You may not need hands to count their victories.
Jeff is the hero. Did you know his girlfriend was playmate of the year in 2004? He escapes the Lions, he is the NFL hero, and he gets the girl. Isn’t that the way life is supposed to work?
NFL Football Fan Question Will Jeff be the new Donovan? Is 36 the new 30?

I still remember Garcia as a 49er, just as bad as when he was a Lion.
Seems to me that even if you’re not the greatest quarterback around, a good offensive line will *usually* save you from certain doom.
Take Oakland for instance: crappy o-line = starting QB crying early in the season.
Then look at the Pats: great o-line = Tom Brady ripping up defenses with no receiving core.
On another note, to be honest I wish the Lions o-line was better ’cause watching Kevin Jones rush right into Ray Lewis was something I’ll never forget. Good RB’s should have at least decent run blockers. The FB can’t do it all for them.
Martz sure has turned Jones into weapon.
Can’t remember the Lions ever having an O line.
