I know that there’s talk of a playoff system that won’t happen in the foreseeable future, though I never thought that a black man would be President while I lived either. Why isn’t there much discussion about why teams are ranked prior to the season starting? No offense to Sho and the Geyters but aren’t the Canes victories more impressive? Why can’t we start looking at ranking teams after 4 or 6 weeks? Where is the money that’s being generated to keep ranking teams so early?

It was a somewhat disappointing week of college football in general. Florida loses the moral battle to the Vols. A win is a win is a win but if UCLA can soundly beat the Vols at the checkerboard, then shouldn’t the Gaters stomp a mud hole in them at home? The assumption is that F-UCLA sucks,, but I think it’s more fact than fiction when it comes to foozeball. Once again, Tebow will only contribute in the NFL if he’s in the right scheme. The best player on the field was the Vols cornerback, Erick Berry. I was also disappointed by Texas. They should have beaten the Red Raiders at home by halftime. I think that even Bridgette would agree. USC lost because they don’t have a passing game. I’m sorry Kras but it condemns the Buckeyes even more. Cal will lose in a classic trap game against the Ducks. I’m sorry that your Spartans lost the game, VDW. I read about the horrible decision to float a pass in the end zone off the back foot when a chip shot field goal was already in hand to put the game in over time. It was against the Irish of all people too. Think of your football team as the yin to Izzo’s yang. We all can’t have incredible runs like the Donovan/Meyer runs at Florida. Happy, Sho? Here’s a question for you Sho; when was the last solid NFL player to come from a Meyer led program? Harvin “might” me it but it’s too early to say. Alex Smith, Reggie Nelson, and Derrick Harvey have all been disappointments. You can say what you want about Louis Murphy too but Chaz is the wide receiver in Oaktown. Harvard also lost to Holy Cross. I wonder what they would have done against the unholy or just plain old cross. I’m sorry that I jinxed your Yellow Jackets last week, Tim. This time I’ll say that we should be watching the fun in Lawrence.

Game of the week honors goes to the vaunted Bears/Huskers game.

I can see Cliffy screaming at the TV as Clark and Ginn take him down on Monday night. I hope that Erin was able to stay up late enough to see it. As previously mentioned, I’m sure all parties were surprised to see Towns pull off the 4^th quarter comeback especially w/ disappointing games from Westbrook and Forte. Speaking of Westbrook, he’s apparently injured the same leg that required off season surgery. He “hopes” to be able to play next week. Good luck w/ those weekly hopes for the rest of the season, Big E. I don’t know what Cliffy was thinking by pulling any starting Saint. It looks like it’s the Drew Brees show each week and I’m sure that none of us are looking forward to facing Cliffy just because of him. VDW, you get the bye week so that’s something for you to be happy about. Cliffy, the Chargers defense is an auto drop now that Jamal Williams is out for the year. Merriman sans the roids is not looking like a dominant force unless it’s against an overly boobed out asian “bisexual.”

I h8 Peyton versus Peyton save my season

This match up also came down to Monday night’s game. I’m sure that Krotchua was in pain to see the Fins double Wayne and go Wildcat on the Colts defense. I’m still surprised that Mojo didn’t do this to them last week. At least S Jax made it to double digits for him this week. Unfortunately, Julius Jones had a poor game against the 49ers and there is talk of ex Cal Bear, Justin Forsett, taking over. Speaking of ex Cal Bears, Aaron Rodgers survived another pounding as his offensive line continues to do their best impersonation of a hologram. I wonder what porous defense Josh will take this week? He should hope that the JETS will fall to him on the waiver wire. Ash gets the win so he should be happy. I wouldn’t be too happy though because you can’t play Krouche each week. The Vikings look like they are going to play it conservatively so Berrian isn’t going to get too many deep balls. And you better hope that Mason’s poor numbers when the Ravens have been scoring for the last 2 weeks is just an anomaly. You also better hope that Bryant’s injury doesn’t cost him the season. If the Bucs continue their horrible ways on defense and Leftwich is forced to throw it each week, it’s double sided. If Bryant is healthy, he has to get a lot of action. Unless it’s a limping Leftwich going no huddle w/ the Thundering Herd around him, I’m not too confident in his arm. If the Bucs keep losing behind his slow as molasses wind up, I can see Bryant getting shut down for the rest of the season.

stanford vs. cal part 1
cal gets the better of stanfurd in this early meeting. Who would have thought that tom Brady and the pats offense would look so unlike last year's version? Oh well. I figured that one of my 2 first picks would be a bust. I’d rather it not be gore and it be the much disliked belicheats. But maybe it's the jets defense that shut down the Texans offense the previous week as well. I like how the asholes dropped them last week. They should be a waiver wire pick up until someone scores 2 td's on them. The before mentioned gore goes off on the injured run defense of the hawks and secures the win for the temple. Unfortunately, sho is my bane this week and possibly year. Don’t listen to sho when it comes to the gators covering spreads. Sho also takes the prize o' da week by a measly 3 yards. Sho also has Mcgahee whose taken ray rice's goal line carries first and then his carries. Geeeezzz!!! Thanks sho. I can also blame the packers defense for giving up so many points to the bungles at home. Speaking of the bungles, Shen is the big beneficiary if palmer can stay healthy. Jennings won't have a repeat barring an injury. If Welker can come back, Shen will be solid from week to week. Speaking of Welker, Shen should drop josh Morgan and pick up Welker part deux as insurance.

I feel the Pain goes down to the Lub.

Initially, I was making fun of Bish for sitting Schaub and Sproles. After reviewing the numbers, I have to take it back because his team sucks so much that it would take 2 Schaubs to give him a chance. Slaton is looking like the biggest healthy bust of the 1^st round so far. Too many fumbles and a poor showing for 2 weeks in a row has coach Kubiak lamenting about not being able to sign Cedric Benson in the off season. That can’t be a good thing for Vishnal’s heart. Sproles had a big day but it was through the air which is where the Ravens can be beaten. I don’t think that you could have seen that. Benny gets the win w/ a solid outing. The Steelers don’t have a run game so that means it’s a lot of passes for Big Ben, who’s an injury waiting to happen. He takes way too many hits. If he wasn’t built like a big linebacker he would have gone down to injury last year. It’s a matter of time. Freddy J continues to do well in place of the Lynch Mob. Ben made a great call in sitting Kev Jones in favor for him. It’s early but it sure looks like the Bucs Defense is a cure for your offensive woes. Someone go out and get Eli. VDW, that should be more good news for you and Jacobs.

Do You Really Want to Pronounce Love for Gilbert vs Will I Really Go 0-6 Again?

Poor is the plumber who blames his tools. Gilbert is apparently in the best shape that he’s been in since before his first big knee injury. He’s blaming the Wizards for letting him have too much authority regarding his health and rehabilitation. Timmy blames Peyton for last year’s poor start. (someone start playing the original MJ’s man in the mirror song right now.) I could have also started off by saying that Chris Johnson is still running against the poor Texans defense. 4 less yards and I would have taken the weekly prize. Once again all good things from H town stopped after Hakeem left. Sho is still riding Favre’s conservative approach. I wonder what will happen when he has to throw to win. You can’t face Detroit and Cleveland every week. I can’t be in charge of basketball this season because I have to start planning things for my move. It’s also a big tell for anyone who will be in the league this year. Take Gilbert and ransom him off to Sho. T squared had a good week but it wasn’t good enough, especially against the weekly winner. You look to have 2 good QB’s, Thomas. You will need to make a move earlier than last year in order to get some more talent for your squad. There is no consistent passing attack in SF. Start Ward every week. Santonio has passed him but he’ll still get his in a weekly Steeler passing show. Galloway is another name from the past that you’re clinging to. Bench him until the Pats can get the aerial attack back. Pray that LDT can come back. Hopefully, you won’t have to pray too hard. You need a RB regardless. Drop Macklin and Jenkins. The Philly offense will spread the ball to the open man. Macklin will be the 4^th option when Westbrook, Desean, and Celek aren’t open. Jenkins is also the 4^th option on offense behind Turner, White, and Gonzo. Gonzo has taken all of his touches from last year. Pick up Tashard Choice and hope that MB3 is out for a game or two or has a lingering injury that makes Choice the starting choice for the Boys.

It’s Kras Time vs Football h8s Me This Year

Kras has another impressive week with a ton of points to spare on the bench. Awesome pick up in Steve Smith, Kras. I don’t think that he’ll keep putting up ridiculous numbers but I can see him being the most consistent receiver for the G Men. Even w/ a potential 1-2 week injury to Barber, Kras has Cedric Benson. I still don’t believe in him but no one cares about what I think. I do think that he won’t do much against the Steeler D this week. All you can do is hope to play Kras when the Cards and Vikings are their bye weeks. VDW is lamenting about the curse put upon him by the football gods. Maybe you should join Fitz’s brother in his tweets against the old man playing QB. He’s the best player on that team and you’d have to think that they’d make a concerted effort to get the ball to him each week. I predict a big week for him and a win for you against me. Romo is going against the piss poor Panthers as you foresaw. Jacobs will get the ball a ton against the hapless Bucs. The Ravens defense is weak against the pass and the Browns are no threat by land, air, or sea. I’m also seriously contemplating a benching for Tommy B. Maybe I’ve gone wacko for Flacco but the Pats haven’t shown me any consistency.
