The Tampa Bay Bucs are coached by an inept coach unable to discipline players for on-field screw-ups (notably failing to coach players on how to tackle without head-butting), leading to unwanted penalties and losing games.

They both did well, but I think they should really have multiple seasons like that under their belts before having specials run about them and a constant stream of feature articles in the offseason. With Newton, the big talk of the 2nd season was whether or not he goes through a sophomore slump (he did); with RG3, even when he loses, there’s an article saying “his legend grows”.

@YellowJournalism:
The upside is that Breaking Bad is almost spoiler proof. And by that I mean that the spoilers you’d get wouldn’t really detract from the show. The show is about the how more than the what. The show foreshadows alot and tends to play things out to their narrative conclusion so the plot never really comes at you sideways. The suspense and tension is mostly built on a morbid certainty instead of unpredictability.
But that’s not to say there isn’t any genuinely shocking moments in Breaking Bad. I would hate to have known what happened in the Season 4 opener before I saw it. So I definitely wouldn’t seek out spoilers. I’m just saying that the world won’t end if you know what happens, so don’t be too afraid to hang out with those of us that have seen the show.
