BTW, I know it's only the exhibition season and Tom Brady didn't play, but the Patriots look AWFUL tonight and are losing to the Ravens, 16-6 early in the fourth.
Can you give me a report ?
Hows Troy Smith looking so far ?

Jimbo,
I've been very impressed with Troy tonight. In fact, I really believe he'll beat out Boller.
Joe Flacco just came into the gamefor the Ravens and turned the ball over on his second play.
Unfortunatley I don't think the Raven's think much of Troy ....
Not a good start for Flacco, but I'm sure it will get better.
Wouldn't you think that seeing the NFL preseason is getting into full gear tonight , that the NFL network would have a game live, or at least be covering the games more vs the Farve fiasco.
Jimbo
Sorry about the Pats loss, Bill.
At least it was meaningless and not in the thriller from last December.
Sabe's , it's preseason, they normally win SOME of thier preseason games, it's the Regular season they cannot win in, ya know, when it COUNTSLions beat the Giants! LIONS WIN! LIONS WIN! LIONS WIN! THE REBUILDING IS OVER AFTER 51 YEARS! (end sarcasm)
I can't wait to hear what Paul has to say.
After all, we are entitled to his opinions.

I was actually there last night, and you may have seen me. I was in the first row behind the Giants bench by the Lions helmet field cart. I swore I'd never attend another game till they became winners again, but my brother called last minute, with the closest seats to the field I've ever sat in. Freebies! The big treat was taking my 3yr. old son to his first ever professional sporting event. He's still talking about shaking hands with Eli Manning this morning. (Even though he doesn't have clue who he is.)
OK, nice that they won, but like Jimbo says, lets see when they count. Still no running game, but the team played with some urgency and zeal. Biggest impression for me , being this close to field, was not how big these guys are, (they seem bigger on TV oddly enough), but how fast the players really are. It's like sitting near the ice at a hockey game. These guys really fly. Calvin Johnson has to be among the fastest players I've ever seen. TV and sitting mid- bowl don't do justice to the speed of these guys at all. Really cool being able to hear the coaches talking to their players. That being said, sitting 12 -15 rows higher is better for watching the game. Much better angle to follow the play.
