First of all, congrats to Carlos Zambrano of the Cubs for his no hitter on Sunday. :) I am not a Cubs fan and I still say that that Bartman guy is not to blame for the Cubs not going to the World Series a few years ago, so Cubs fans, GET OVER IT!!
Ok, now it is time for NFL Talk: I got my trifecta today: What I mean is all three of my teams, Pats, Steelers, and Giants WON today. Giants ROLLED over the Rams 41-13. The Rams must be going for the 1st pick in the 2009 Draft. LOL They are so HAPLESS. JUst horrible. Giants just dominated. It was a comination of an RKO, a Pedigree, a Last Ride, finished off by a Spear!! The Patriots: No Brady..No problemo. Matt Cassell and the Pats did a very nice job defeating Lord Farve and the Jets. I thought they would beat the Jets. :) As for my Steelers.....sloppy game due to the weather and to the fact that Roethlisberger has a separated AC joint in his throwing shoulder suffered last week against the Texans. Thought it was worse than what Tomlin was letting on. Hope it doesn't plague him all season.
The rest: Well, Raiders' Coach Lane KIffin may or may not , depending on Al Davis' mood which changes as often as Vince McMahon changes his mind which is pretty often.......have saved his job, by his team's performance. Darren McFadden ran like a madman and scored, I believe one TD. May have been two. They beat the Chiefs (blech). We will see if Kiffin keeps his job for the time being. The Vikings, like the Browns are a wiseguy pick for the playoffs and the Super Bowl. well, that team is an excellent team. They can run the ball....look at C. Taylor and Adrian Peterson (Boomer Sooner)......they have an awesome defense, why do you think they got Jared Allen? They have a great O line. Their achilles heel is their QB. Tavaris Jackson is not the answer. They need a QB to just manage the game for them, and I hate using that term to the nth degree. It is a modern term for a QB who does enough to win and does not make mistakes...the QB is not a QB ala Brady or Manning (Peyton) that can win the game with his arm. I hate the term "game manager" because it implies the guy does not have the ability to win the game for you with his arm. Anyway, that is what the Vikings need. The Titans are in the same predicament(good O line, great defense, etc ). I had very high hopes for Vince Young, especially since I did NOT buy into the hype over Matt Leinart.......his being passed over for a washed up Kurt Warner who looks good SO FAR proves me correct.. However, Young's emotional stability and immaturity issues concern me deeply. I am not so sure he will make it as a QB in the NFL. I hope I am wrong and he overcomes his problems.
Colts are gonna be in big trouble if they do not get healthy quick. They got by the Vikings who choked big time but the Colts can't always get by like this every game. The 49ers got by the Seahawks. Man, that was something else. Huh? What about that Bears/Panthers. That was another come from behind game for the Panthers. That Stewart guy for the Panthers is awesome. I wish the Steelers drafted him instead of Mendenhall. Oh well. The Browns are ready for Prime Time......NOT. They looked a bit better tonight but Romeo Crennell....you are NOT your mentor....Bill Bellichick. NOt by a longshot. How about the Broncos/Chargers game. I am sorry, but the Chargers were SCREWED. That play where it should have been called a fumble and the Chargers get the ball back and kneel it out DID cost the Chargers the game DID cost San Diego the game. No doubt about it. I am sure Rey Mysterio and Edge (both Chargers fans) are TICKED. :( Redskins got by the Saints. Interesting.
Tomorrow on MNF it is the Cowboys and the Eagles: I think it will be a close game but I think the Boys take it.
