Hoo we thought they were?

"They are who we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!" These immortal words were coined by former Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green during his epic post-game press conference meltdown in 2006. After the Cardinals blew a 20-point lead in spectacular fashion and gifted the Chicago Bears a 24-23 win on Monday Night Football, Green was seeing red because for three quarters, the Cardinals had played a perfect game - no turnovers, great defense - while the Rex Grossman-led Bears had done everything in their power to lose - zero touchdowns, six turnovers. Yet at the end of the day, the Bears improved to 6-0 while the Cardinals fell to 1-5. Why did Dennis pop his top? Because he knew that such a gut-wrenching loss can quickly become season- or even career-defining - as that one was for him.
