YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE at Brady's Razor in Lesser Boston, Massachusetts. Nice weather. Who knew turnovers in the red zone would become an unfortunate theme of the week. Dillon's going to make life so much easier for that team. Vanderjagt... MISSES? WTF? I suddenly miss Ralph Wiley again :( He HATED Vanderjagt.
Curtis Martin? Really? I still maintain that he is one of, if not the, most underrated players of this era. Palmer actually looked pretty good, but the Bengals' defense hurt them. Badly. Caveat: no Brian Simmons or Deltha O'Neal, though.
This Week It Sucks To Be: 1. Charles Rogers; 2. Mike Vanderjagt; 3. Brian Billick; 4. the guy who Leftwich burned on the last play.
Way to make an impact, Deion. *snickers* The Browns, unwilling to be schooled again, brought a 12-man front or something; I don't know what this was. Garcia looked sharp and controlled; Boller looked lost and confused. Thank God they don't play the Bears this year... that might have been the first game where negative points were scored.
Butch: "PROJECTED SEASON STATISTICS FOR JEROME BETTIS: 16 yards, 48 touchdowns. WHAT." And in retrospect, I should've been watching this instead of Bucs-Redskins, since things were happening here. 70's rivalries renewed! Old-time football! DUUUUUUUCE. Last-second field goals! This was football the way God intended.
Maybe Portis is just a damn good running back. You've been able to do this to Tampa for years, though. Well, when you have no pass rush, BLITZ! Dare I say they looked like the Eagles defense out there.
Can I just remind you, first of all, that last year the Eagles didn't have a wide receiver catch a touchdown pass until Week 9. Neidermayer? DEAD! Dean Wormer? DEAD! Jeff Feagles? DEAD! That second McNabb to Owens TD we're going to start calling the Air Hockey Pass, 'cause that's what it looked like. *hears "Eli" chant* How many passes did the Giants drop? CRASH! Welcome to the big leagues, kid.
This Week's Game That Shouldn't Have Been This Close: Falcons-49ers.
Fifty pass attempts? FIFTY? Vinny should NEVER throw fifty passes in a game. It's not because he's old, it's because he sucks. Now do you see why I'm not believing in this team?
Pat Summerall! And somehow we went from this to remembering Jimmy the Greek at work and trying to figure out who the Redskins' other quarterbacks were the year Doug Williams won the Super Bowl for them. (Jay Schroeder and who else? Anyone?) Every time they try to throw at Champ, something bad happens. Have you noticed that? He's covering Gonzalez. No, REALLY. Boy, the refs dropped the ball here, huh? How do you forget to mark off the yardage? I thought this was the same crew that blew the coin toss in that Thanksgiving game a few years ago but I've since been corrected. Is Quentin succeeding Alexander as the new "Mr. Sunday Night"? And now we've gone from Good Jake to Bad Jake. Course, the Chiefs can't stop either one...
Why, yes, the Packers ARE going to miss McKenzie. STOP GIVING GREEN THE BALL. ESPECIALLY ON PASS PLAYS. See the above comment on the Redskins blitzing the blue hell out of the Bucs and apply it here. Man, the Panthers' lines are just getting embarrassed. Who called this one? I sure didn't.
This Week's General Observation: As somebody (Jaworski?) predicted, the new enforcement of the 5-yard bump rules has actually helped the tight ends more than the wideouts.
Fantasy Report:
XFLaPa: Thankfully, Quentin Griffin did win the Broncos' RB job, and he led the way over Merc.
tSC: Lost to Air Force Blues by 1.43! Bettis rode my bench and ran for three scores on one yard. Then Favre had to complete a touchdown pass... TO GREEN. I'm physically angry right now.

So WHY isn't this posted at SC?
It totally is, dude.
Well then I'm retarded.
But you knew that already. :(
