Now this is more like it. I knew Donovan was due for a breakout game, but this was outta control. Now it’s easy to temper my enthusiasm because it was against the Lions, but still. They were 2-0 coming into the game, so it’s not exactly like they were pushovers. Not the offense, at least. The defense? Sheesh.

Now here’s the thing: I’ve been an Eagles fan too long to think everything’s gonna be all good from here. But this could’ve been the turning point. Maybe all that bad-playing McNabb was doing had to do with his knee brace and all that. I guess we’ll see next week.

Meanwhile, the Steelers are still undefeated. They’re back to having Ben manage the game while relying on the running game, but I’m sure that when they need to, they’ll open it up. The only question I have about the Steelers is what could they do against Randy Moss? Cuz somebody’s gonna hafta stop him, or else, the Pats are gonna romp to the Super Bowl. 38 points a week? Are you kiddin me?

Not to be morbid, but we’re gonna start with a list of b-and c- level Black celebrities who have died with little media recognition. In some of these cases, I was flat-out surprised. Here’s me wondering why I haven’t heard from them, assuming that they’ve decided to stay out of the limelight. More than I knew, I guess.

The other thing that surprises me is how many of them died from AIDS or AIDS-related complications.

Here’s an informational site about Black Cowboys - and I ain’t talkin about Terrell Owens ‘nem.

So the most confusing thing about the whole Jena 6 protest this week was the sign pictured at left. They stood for us? What? How? That’s all I wanna know. How did they stand for us?
