I hate their name, and I really can’t root for them because they’re in the same division as the Eagles, but I can’t really root against the Redskins. I like Jason Campbell, and not just because he’s a Black quarterback. Okay, okay, that has something to do with it, but even bigger than that, I think he has the tools to be successful. Clinton Portis is another R*s player that I really like. So today, they looked pretty good. It was easy to see what their strengths and weaknesses are. They came out with the ‘W,’ and I’m sure people are gonna be talking big mess all week, but I don’t know what of substance you can take away from it. Campbell looked as good this week as he did bad last week. That’s gonna happen as he learns the offense.
It’s gonna be really interesting to see what the Patriots do now that Brady is out. I can see them looking pretty good some games, especially Cassels’ first, but in a few weeks, one of two things is going to happen: either he’s gonna get better or teams will start noticing his tendencies and they’ll start lockin him down.
UPDATE
Broncos-Chargers. Are you serious? The whole 4th quarter was wild. I know a lotta people talk about the bad games that get shown nationally, but I’m SO glad CBS cut to this game. This joint had everything. Actually, still has. The game isn’t over yet. But that botched call on the fumble? The touchdown? The unconscionably ballsy call for the two-point conversion? Are you serious? This is why I absolutely love football, and easily why the NFL is the most popular spectator sport. (Don’t even mention NASCAR. Not around here.) I can easily see Chargers fans being livid, cuz I know if that was the Eagles and the Cowboys, I’d be beside myself. I’d almost be ready to write the NFL my own self. But that doesn’t change the fact that if the Chargers had actually either the touchdown pass or the two-point conversion — shoot, even just the conversion — it would’ve been a moot point. Bammas gotta play D. That’s the bottom line.
I’m still cussing…can you believe that shit? That MF guessed what happened, and guessed wrong. The Chargers gave up 31 points in the first half, aero in the second…until the referee blew the call on the critical play.
And when the league apologizes tomorrow, the answer is, FUMF >:|
tell em how you really feel.
I suppose this wouldn’t be the right time to convey my unfettered joy, now would it?
I’m watching the Eagles vs. Cowboy game, and I can’t believe when I just witnessed. After running for a 60 some yard touchdown DeSean Jackson decides to intentionally tossed the ball away before he crosses into the end zone and winds up losing the touchdown on a challenge replay.
I remember back in the olden days when guys used to run as hard as they could into and out of the back of the end zone, but those days are gone. These days some players are just too cool to run that hard or apparently even continue holding onto the ball until they break the plane. This is perhaps the problem with going after people for excessive celebration, all these hotshots superstars are trying to get their celebrations in before they score to make up for the deficit, and you wind up with bonehead plays like the one coming from this jerk-off asshole Jackson.
Jared, go for it; a win is a win. A play very similar to that is exactly why I have never been into the Tom Brady hype. Charles Woodson sacked him and forced a fumble that the Raiders recovered, sealing the game. Only it was reviewed and called a tuck. Phuck a tuck. I’m still bitter about that, because that was the Raiders’ year, and we had our first inkling that something might not be on the up and up with the Cheaters. Because that was the playoffs, it hurts more. The Superchargers still have time to recover, but they better win soon.
Aaron, did you see McNabb throw off those cats like a ninja warrior? The Eagles’ receivers continue to be their weak spot, I’m afraid, and it’s too bad because looks like Donnie got his mojo back.
Game of the Week: Philly-Dallas. Easily.
Hate to break it to you, AT, but the Giants are the team to beat. Eli-to-Plaxico is a top two combo for sure, maybe the best.
