Football Thoughts for Week 9

- Well I glad to see that one of Boston’s teams are not invincible. Too bad it had to be previous ranked #2 Boston College and not the Pats.

- I was disappointed in wins by Ohio State (they can shove “the” you know where) and LSU. I was even more disappointed in Arizona States loss to the ducks.

- Since I’m usually cheering for the underdog in college football, now I’m going to root for Kansas. Speaking of Kansas, I saw the final score against Nebraska and I asked myself if college basketball had already started. Nope they got spanked, 76 points.

- Notre Dame has hit a new low, loosing to Navy. The last time this happened was 1963. Before that it was in the early 1900s. But Notre Dame games are nationally televised each week. Boy it sucks to be NBC or a Notre Dame fan.

- This has to be a relief for both the Rams and Dolphins. They did not loose last weekend. Of course they did play. Next goal is to win at something!

- The shocker of the week for me was the Saints & Jags game. First, the one player suspended on the Jags defense must have been one hell of player, because they really suck now. Second, what were the Saints doing the first few 4 weeks of the season? They no longer suck.

- I saw the score of the next game at half time and thought it was over. Nope I was wrong, due to a fall out of the Sea Chickens, the Browns were able to come back to win in OT. Damnit, I was cheering for the Sea chickens last week. They are screwing up the value of Dallas’ 1st round pick next year.

- I thought since the Hawks lost, I would be able to continue giving a co-worker a hard time. Well he took all the fun out of the this thinking. Before I could even say a word to him on Monday, he stated “THE HAWKS SUCK”. Later in the day I did throw a blow, commenting that .500 is good enough for the lead in the division. But he just seemed to agree and there was no joking around. Damnit!!!

- All I can say about the Colts and Patriots, thank god it is over. As previously noted I was a Colts fan until they gave it away at the end. I was tired of hearing about Superbowl 42 and 1/2. I’m guessing that soon I’ll be tired of hearing of talk that the Pats should just be given the championship trophy and cancel the rest of the season.

- A few records were accomplished last weekend. First the Chargers had a missed field goal returned for a touchdown, 109 yards which cannot be broken. Second Farve has now beat all 31 teams. And last, Petersen had most rushing yards for a game against the very same Chargers. Shell has said that I have been too negative lately, but I cannot help continuing. First 109 yard return, it was fairly easy due to the fact the Vikings had mostly lineman on the field for the play. Second, I think that beating all 31 teams was more impressive for Manning and Brady that complete this task the week before. They accomplished this task in about 8 fewer seasons.

- All disappointments and negativities aside. The Cowboys kicked the Eagles butts on there home field. Prior to the game McNabb said that the NFC East champions still need to come through Philly. Well they came and the Eagles failed to defend anything.
