Gaining Steam

We are at the halfway point of being able to establish the pretenders from the contenders. I think by week four you can officially stop being called a fluke (KC, Tampa) or officially a bust (Dal, Minny). I do think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves (hadn’t figured out who “we” refers to yet) by having the Texans ranked #3 in the most recent expert power rankings, but a win this weekend against the Cowboys and we’ll forget I mentioned this at all. A win for the Texans would simultaneously put Wade Phillips on a seat as hot as a car with the seat warmers on in Texas in July. Luckily, for those on “bust alert”, 2 weeks is enough time to right the ship….if they can.

I think it’s evident that by Favre’s post game comment of “If we make it, we make it. If we don’t’, we don’t”, that a couple more losses might end up with Favre exiting stage left to cut grass on his tractor wearing wranglers and a straw hat by Thanksgiving.

It seems Mike Vick’s play over the last couple of weeks has earned him an extended stay in the starting role for Philadelphia (rightfully so). It also seems that while he was serving as the Wildcat/Backup QB, those opposed to him being on the team quieted down. Now that he’s back to starting, he is being subjected to the backlash again for what had him out of football for a couple years. Just let the man play. *This is in no way shape or form related to the fact that he is my only viable option at Qb in one of my fantasy leagues…maybe a little*


Now, I’ve witnessed every super bowl champion’s qb as far back as I can remember getting multiple endorsements the following season. The Manning’s even got a joint OREO deal. But can you tell me why super bowl XLIV Drew Brees is doing 30 second Walgreens ads about his sinus?? With his wife?? Flag on the play. At least he got a cameo in Entourage.

It may be time to send ESPN a letter asking that they drop this whole sports science segment. Maybe it’s just me but watching sports is not enhanced with me knowing that a 350lb man can accelerate at 40 ft per seconds squared or generate the same force from his legs that a horse does when jumping.

Quick summary of this vid: Man enrolls in Ohio U to tryout to be mascot. Man becomes mascot. Man drops out and enrolls at different university but maintains job as Ohio U’s mascot. His only reason for wanting to be mascot is shown. I personally love his dedication and decision. I also would like to be informed on what a buckeye is please. Thank you
