Autumnal Equinox edition...
1. Don't forget, today is the day you can balance an egg on the floor. Only happens twice a year, give it a try!
2. Night football has become all Manning, all the time. Great job by the brothers this weekend.
3. Not a good time to have a bad season, especially in Carolina. Listen to the names who are out there...Holmgren, Gruden, Cowher, Shanahan. Wow.
4. Never a dull moment in Philly QB land. Of course you have Donovan McNabb, with the bad ribs. Michael Vick is activated this week, Kevin Kolb had a pretty good game against New Orleans considering he is so raw, and Jeff Garcia, who had success a few years ago in Philly, is back. Only the Eagles can have a four way QB controversy. Even if McNabb doesn't play he'll probably still be annoyed if they put in a lot of formations for Vick.
5. Seeing the cheerleaders or go-go dancers or whatever that was at the top of Cowboys stadium, reminded me of the XFL. Sunday night football even brought you into the cheerleaders' locker room...unfortunately for you guys, it was empty though.
6. OK so the Jets are 2-0, but I'm not sure how far the bluster will get them. I'm also not sure how long this defense can last either. The NFL is incredibly organic, as the film case grows teams will be looking at what the Jets are doing, and could eventually figure out a way around it. The defense will never be bad, but I don't see it remaining dominant for the whole season.
7. Jet fans also know they are not even the best team in town.
8. Mike Tirico was right last night, it's been an incredible start to both the college and NFL seasons.
9. What happened to the pennant races? They disappeared quickly. If the Twins/Tigers doesn't materialize into anything (which will be difficult for the Twins without Morneau), it will seem like baseball is going on hiatus for two weeks.
10. Funny how arguably the most prolific QB in college footbal history may not be able to play that position next year in the NFL.
11. For better or worse it's amazing how the Jets found the polar opposite to Eric Mangini in Rex Ryan. They could not be any different. It was so painful to watch Mangini watch and stare every week as the season went down the drain.
12. Brett Favre gives the game ball to Percy Harvin after week one, but has to add the fact that his trophy case is full anyway. Favre is the Roger Clemens of football, constantly polishing the Brett Favre legacy. It's always about Brett Favre.
13. Anyone hear Peyton Manning's reaction last night to surpassing Johnny Unitas on the Colts list? Mentioned how great Unitas was, how important Unitas was to the city of Baltimore, how much his dad told him about the greatness of Johnny Unitas, and what Unitas meant to the NFL. All class, Manning is the Derek Jeter of football. For Peyton Manning it's never about Peyton Manning.
14. I miss Wipeout already! Especially the big balls!!!
15. Wow, Washington back on the college footbal map already. An amazing turnaround. Now the loss to USC looks even worse for the Buckeyes.
16. Would have checked out Florida St - BYU on Saturday, but we could not because DirecTV is in a dispute with Versus. Lovely. Just get the negotiations done, will you? Jeez.
17. Michigan is scaring me.
18. There is no bigger NHL fan than me, but even I can't bring myself to watch Rangers preseason hockey.
19. Spare me Terrell Pryor' statistics against Toledo. I really don't care. Show me something against Penn State.
20. Actually, that comment is also directed to Jim Tressel.
21. Ramy is still the coolest Sports forum mod around!!!
