Tom Brady, Tony Romo and Peyton Manning combined to throw five interceptions and just one touchdown on Sunday. Thanks guys - a lot of fantasy seasons were destroyed in the process.
Speaking of Romo, is there a bigger pimp in the NFL (besides Tom Brady of course)? First Romo was dating Carrie Underwood, now he’s with Jessica Simpson, who was at the game on Sunday. Too bad Romo has played like shiznit (27-of-65 for 355 yards with one touchdown and five interceptions) in the two games when Underwood and Simpson have attended. Even Romo’s boy Terrell Owens is getting pissed by the whole thing, although it doesn’t take much to get T.O. heated.
Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are throwing a party right now for not only clinching the NFC South Division, but scoring on a kickoff return for the first time in franchise history. It only took 32 years!!!!!
If you lost your fantasy game on Sunday because Brian Westbrook decided to intentionally fall down at the one yard line with two minutes left to secure Philly’s win, I am sorry for you. The play is being over-hyped by the media though, proclaiming Westbrook as the most unselfish athlete of all time. While it was an intelligent move, Westbrook could have scored and it still would have been more than a long shot for the Cowboys to get a touchdown and a two-point conversion AND a field goal in the final two minutes.
If any of you watch games on the NFL Network, you know how painful it is to listen to Bryant Gumbel. Specifically when Gumbel states repeatedly that player X appears to have the first down. Bryant, the guy literally made the first down by nine yards, it’s not apparent, it’s definite!!!!!
The Pro Bowl rosters were announced this week and as usual there were a couple of snubs, but nothing too earth-shattering. The biggest surprise might have been that Jacksonville and Tampa Bay had zero Pro Bowlers and one could make the case for Fred Taylor and/or Joey Galloway this season. Do you realize Taylor and Galloway have NEVER been to a single Pro Bowl? It’s rare to see players with over 10,000 career yards not make at least one appearance to the NFL’s All-Star Game.
While I’m on the topic of the Pro Bowl - props to “Big Game” Torry Holt, who was selected to the game for the seventh time in his career despite playing on a bad knee and under difficult circumstances in St. Louis this season. FYI – Holt is the NFL’s all-time leader in receiving yards per game (83.8).
Brian Billick needs to be fired like right now. Last week he decided to NOT go for the touchdown on fourth and goal from the one-yard line with 12 seconds left. The Ravens kicked the field goal instead to tie the game and lost in overtime. He is an awful coach and deserves to be banned from the NFL.
Do we really have to see and hear from Bill Parcells again? He is simply an ego maniac and an annoying figure these days.
Steve Young made an astute observation a couple of Monday’s ago when he said that Aaron Stecker gave the Saints a better chance to win because he is a true running back while Reggie Bush is a specialty player. I could not have said it better myself. Stecker obviously does not have the talent that Bush has, but New Orleans can just hand the ball off to him and pound defenses. Bush dances to much at the line of scrimmage and might be too undersized to play every down and you’re not going to line him up at wide receiver every snap so what do you do with him? New Orleans has played suspect defenses over the last two weeks, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the team has performed much better offensively with Stecker as the every down back.
Bobby Engram has played in the league for 12 years, yet never had a 1,000-yard season until now. Already with a career high in yardage, Engram needs just four receptions and two touchdowns to post personal bests in those categories as well. I guess some things do age like fine wine.
