- Tough way to start the season. I had Reggie Bush in my fantasy league and went against the grain with New Orleans in my pick em league because I had a “feeling”. Not to self, no longer trust your “feelings”. I justified everything fine, I just forgot one thing: the NFC sucks. I don’t think I’m picking an NFC team on the road against the AFC again.
- I nearly lost my mind when they talked about Tony Dungy’s “Quiet Strength”. How he got fired from Tampa Bay, all the disappointment in Indy, etc. Not once in there did they mention that ummmmmmm, his son committed suicide. Way to ignore anything non-football related douches.
- I’m glad that Notre Dame decided that we’re not going to throw the ball farther than 10 yards. I don’t think I can live in a world where I have to root for that and Chad Pennington’s arm without becoming homicidal.
- Its bad when I say to myself 31-10, could have been worse. It’s going to be a long year, which was made worse by Dick freakin’ Vitale making an appearance in the 3rd quarter. At least I’m not a Michigan fan.
- Time for this week’s Notre Dame commercial that drives me into sarcastic remarks. If you’re new to this, Notre Dame tries to emphasize its Catholicism in its university commercials. This week, they advertised that they are “fighting global warming.” My response was, “I’d wish we’d stop fighting something that isn’t even true and start fighting the plague of white people in their secondary.” Not you, Zbikowski, you’re good in my book. In fact, you’re the only member of that team that’s ok in my book.
- I’d like to thank LSU for kicking Virginia Tech’s ass. I wasn’t looking forward to staying up to watch the end of that, so I was able to pass out around 10. LSU has officially reached Problem status.
- Steve Spurrier is always fun. He upsets Georgia, on the road none the less, and he’s pissed that his offense only scored 16 points. No credit goes to the defense for holding them to 12 points. Just that his offense couldn’t score enough for his liking.
- I think the reason that I’m not a big Cam Cameron fan is that he doesn’t call himself “Killa” or yell out “Dip Set!” after touchdowns.
- My favorite commercial so far has been for that movie “The Brave One.” Only because I find it hilarious that someone said, “Hmmm…we have a Jodie Foster movie. You know who we should put on the commercials? DMX. ‘What’s My Name?’ should go great with Jodie.”
- Randy Moss has reached Problem status as well. As I said back at the Draft to my brother, the Patriots got the best player in the draft in the 4th round. I’m already regretting not keeping him in my fantasy league.
- I'm not ready to discuss the Jets-Pats game. I'm going to keep using the fact that New England was video taping them and stick to it. Please disregard three Jets not being able to keep up with Moss or giving up a 108 yard kick off return. It was all the illegal video that did it.
- Hope you get better Chad. I would not have been one cheering your injury. You've done too much for the franchise.
- Clinton Portis also looks like he’s back. Not sure how many carries he’ll get with Betts playing as well, but he looked effective today and redeemed my selection of him on my fantasy team. He even ran across the field to lay out a defensive lineman on a block (my favorite part of ESPN’s fantasy special was when they complemented Portis on his ability to pick up the blitz. Because that’s worth a ton of points in my league). He’d be worth a lot more if dressing up in character was worth points.
- Thanks goes out to my brother, who told me to pick Tennessee. I need to be reminded who they’re quarterback is sometimes, despite the fact that Lendale White continues to suck and I can’t name one of his receivers.
-Mario Williams has more touchdowns than Reggie Bush. Fuck you Reggie, give me something next week.
- Biggest upset of the day? Me staying sober until 7 PM on Sunday. The reason for this is I realized that if I work out after the 1 o’clock games, I can still watch the game at the gym and it keeps me from drinking (all part of my attempt to get back in shape. I feel embarrassed to tell people I was a college basketball player just three years ago). The 1 o’clock game was a little boring, but I probably won’t be throwing up at work tomorrow. It’s a give and take.
- I’m on strike against Football in America studio show until they get rid of Keith Olbermann and Tiki out of there. What a joke.
- The disaster that is the New York Football Giants will be less fun without Eli throwing picks all over the place for the next month. Granted, I'm all for overweight left handed quarterbacks, but there's something about Eli that I love. Maybe its the fact that Giants fans root for him to suck because they hate him so much. My brother even has an irrational hatred for Cooper Manning ("If he had stayed healthy, people would have seen that not every Manning can play football."). I'll miss Eli, but bring on the Hefty Lefty.
- On the Monday night games, I needed Baltimore and San Fran to win so I could win $150 in my pick em league. This despite the fact that I had picked the Bengals to win. So I had to root against myself, which upset the gambling gods, and Baltimore became the first team to lose 3 fumbles in the first quarter. I really hate my luck sometimes.
- Finally, Who’s Barney has been decided. Read Agent Zero’s blog, the specifically Relationships 101 part. It’s over, no one is beating Arenas.
