Annnd... nope. 8-0


Sometimes, I think I may need a new brain.

Edit2: Whoever wins Cowboys/Eagles has a small chance now of trying to catch the Giants in the division in the 2nd half of the season. *sighs* This would be the week the 'Skins go on the bye wouldn't it?

 

*8-1

what are you watching juliet?

 

Evidently, my eyes playing tricks on me. It's been a long weekend.

 

Hey! We got a tie today!

 

ugh, still better than a loss i suppose. hope smith is ok.

 

I wonder if Donovan McNabb is getting his popcorn ready for double OT.

 

Yikes, that 49ers/Rams OT was the craziest I have ever seen. I still can't believe Akers missed that FG, but I guess a tie is better than a loss... though who knows how it'll put the NFC West picture in the end. It definitely has to make the Cards and Seahawks feel better.

Okay, there was the Chiefs/Bills OT I think last year that had many missed FGs until it was decided by a long FG with 5 seconds left on the clock... but this one's pretty close.

And yeah, I hope Smith's okay...

 

So will either QB come out and say "I didn't know there could be a tied game."

Sorry, could not resist that one.

 

Turns out that Donovan McNabb actually runs the onscreen graphics department at FOX. Who knew?

 

Great day for the Colts today. With Miami and San Diego (A whale's vagina) losing, the Colts now hold a two game lead for the wild card.

 

Bears and Falcons both lose today. Time for the soft-schedule records to start coming down to reality.

 

I see Eli's going into his November slump. Maybe that'll be good news for the Redskins.

 

Finally catching up on some football after spending a day out with the family. Seattle looks good but then again the Jets are terrible. The Falcons blew it.

 

At least two players from Niners-Rams didn't know the game could end in a tie.

When McNabb made his comments in 2008, the thing I found strangest of all was that he had been in the league in 2002, when the Falcons and Steelers had played to a tie. How could that have escaped his notice? I have the same question this time, only exponentially moreso because of the fervor over McNabb's comments in 2008. I know that for many professional athletes, it's just a high-paying job and they don't necessarily follow the league as closely as the fans do, but come on.

 

The Cards are irrelevant but the Hawks will be stoked.

Also what an old school game between the Texans and Bears. Slogfest. Given my propensity to barrack for loser teams though I'm glad the Texans won.

 

Oh and this might be the worst interception I have ever seen.

 

LOL. I texted my Chargers fan friend yesterday evening after I saw that clip and said, "That Phillip Rivers interception may very well be the worst interception I have ever seen in all my years watching football".

 

phillip rivers is... dynamic, but not exactly a very good QB. he's romoesque if you will.

 

Why the heck didn't Rivers just bean it off the head of somebody on the sidelines?

Vick still feeling concussion.

 

Roddy White won't give Saints credit.

Voting underway for Pro Bowl

 

roddy white really needs to just shut up. it sounds more like at the end of the game they were beaten, not that they gave it away.

 

Time for the Steelers to crush the Chiefs tonight. Can't wait to rub in the win tomorrow at work with all the Chiefs fans.

 

Hot damn, the Chiefs are leading for the first time this sesaon!

Now please Haley beat the **** out of us as you deserve to. *crosses fingers for #1 overall draft pick*
