Seriously, you can stick 1964 up your ass. Also, it doesn't get much better than hearing Harry Kalas lead the crowd in a rendition of "High Hopes." (Phillies 6, Nationals 1; Marlins 8, Mets 1)Signal Finder: WSH @ PHI, STL @ DAL, NYJ @ BUF, OAK @ MIA, GB @ MIN (end) , PIT @ ARZ
And frankly, it's not like I was missing a whole hell of a lot otherwise. Rams-Cowboys? I saw the Crayton touchdown and that was it. I imagine the rest of the game went approximately the same way. (Cowboys 35, Rams 7)
Edwards really has better numbers in three games than Losman's had all year? That's not good news for anyone. This game took about two hours, and I think 30 seconds disappeared from the clock at the end. (Bills 17, Jets 14)
Deanna's seats are surprisingly good. (In the stadium. Where she was sitting. Pervs.) Ouch. You own him in this building for years and he comes in and breaks the record? That's gotta hurt. The Jones touchdown looked an awful lot like the Crayton touchdown. Did Favre not see where the ball went on the fumble with two minutes left? 'Cause I thought he had a shot at it if he realized where it was. Of course, it's only Kelly Holcomb. (Packers 23, Vikings 16)
Did This Actually Happen?: Browns 27, Ravens 13
Calvin Pace is still on the Cardinals? Are you kidding me? One thing about the Cardinals in Arizona is that they've always been good hosts. This crowd is seriously half Steelers fans. There was a Whisenhunt-Roethlisberger rift too? This team won a Super Bowl? This alternating quarterbacks thing? Not a fan. Whoa! Are the Cardinals actually going to win this game? I'm having trouble remembering the third guy who was at Michigan and wore No. 1 when Breaston and Avant were both there. It wasn't David Terrell, I don't think. This one could come back to bite the Steelers. (Cardinals 21, Steelers 14)
This Week it Sucks To Be: 1. Norv Turner; 2. Winston Justice; 3. Brian Griese; 4. Isaac Bruce (Two things can happen when you make guarantees: You either win, or you get straight up rolled); 5. J.P. Losman (You don't think he hears footsteps?)
MAR-TY! MAR-TY! MAR-TY! MAR-TY! If this doesn't prove coaching matters, nothing will. How about giving LDT the ball? Huh? How about it? Cross your mind at any point? On the flip side, Bowe's already the best wideout the Chiefs have had in about 15 years. (Chiefs 30, Chargers 16)
Without fail, whenever the Broncos play the Colts, they get shredded. To their credit, it just took longer for the Colts to get around to it this time. (Colts 38, Broncos 20)
I'm not optimistic. This is a game the Eagles always lose. And now Westbrook's not playing? Great. I'm looking at Umenyiora lining up all over the place and listening to Madden talk about how Kiwanuka's struggled to convert to linebacker and I can only conclude that the Giants should be running a 3-4 defense with Kiwanuka and Tuck as edge-rushing OLBs. The other problem the Eagles are having with helping Justice is that they don't really have a blocking tight end on their roster - Schobel and Celek are more pass-catchers, and Celek's struggling with false starts as much as Justice is. Still, the kid's getting run through so often he should be collecting tolls. I've never been a huge Buckhalter fan, but he's been good tonight. I didn't realize Akers has been so bad here, either. Then he makes a 53-yarder. Touchdown! Oh, whatever. See? Typical pre-bye-week game for the Birds. Everything goes wrong, and usually spectacularly. Good thing the Phillies are in the playoffs. Seriously. It's Bizarro World out here right now. (Giants 16, Eagles 3)
FANTASY REPORT
aPaFL Criminal Intent (4-0, W4): A week of close calls all around. I beat Tank's Armory by 4.3 points, which probably doesn't happen if Marvin Harrison doesn't go down and Bob has more than one running back for this week.
JackSux IV (2-2, W1): And I had to rally Monday night to beat Butch, and I still would have lost had he known Boldin was out and swapped in Muhsin Muhammad. (I can overlook the Westbrook thing because that was announced about 45 minutes before game time.) But he has his reasons. Also I'm not sure how I was able to come back with the Bengals only scoring 13 points, but I won't not take it.
RANKINGS
TOP 3:
1. New England (4-0) - Pats' offense looks like the Colts'
2. Indianapolis (4-0) - Champs chugging along
3. Dallas (4-0) - More complete team than the Packers at this point
BOTTOM 3:
30. New Orleans (0-3) - How does this offense only have 38 points?
31. St. Louis (0-4) - No Pace, no Jackson, and they can't stop anyone
32. Miami (0-4) - See, if you hadn't rushed Culpepper back in the first place...
