Let’s finally get off the Michigan-Ohio State game and talk about the NFL. The highlight game of the weekend is the Houston Texans coming to Cleveland Brown Stadium to take on the Cleveland Browns. OK, it isn’t the highlight game but it should be an entertaining game for several reasons but I’ll get into that in a second. Unfortunately I have to pass on going to the game because I may have to work on Sunday and my stupid brother decided have his birthday party on Sunday. Way to go jerk.
Last week wasn’t my best week but I was still over .500 at 8-6-1, bringing my season total to 86-64-1.
CLEVELAND vs Houston – This has potential to be Cleveland-Buffalo 2007 game with lots of snow. But I think it’s suppose to finally stop snowing by tomorrow so who knows. Brady Quinn has a broken finger. I could be wrong here but I think Derek Anderson had something to do with this. Sure, he could have Nancy Kerrigan his leg but that would have been to obvious. DA could have ninja-ed his way to Brady and slammed his finger in a car door. Or step on his hand during stretching. Or a number of un-suspicious acts that could leave Brady with a broken finger. Brady will play through the injury unlike some pretty boy quarterback in Dallas. They said Brady will wear a splint on the sideline when he’s not in the game. What’s the point of that? Is wearing a splint for four minutes at a time really going to make the finger better? I think Brady plays the whole game and the running game finally gets going and makes it easier on him.
I was originally thinking for the Browns to have a better than good chance at winning, the weather needs to be bad to slow the passing game, because we know the Browns secondary wouldn’t. I thought Andre Johnson, Kevin Walter and Owen Daniels would light it up. But then I remember Sage The Jewish Quarterback is playing. Now I think the Browns need to be more worried the running game and Steve Slaton.
So I think it’s going to come down to Slaton verse Jamal Lewis. And I’ll take Lewis over Slaton in a cold, windy, snowing conditions.
TAMPA BAY at Detroit - I don’t even know what else to say about the Lions because they are only six games from the perfect 0-16 season.
TENNESSEE vs NY Jets - A lot of the “experts” are picking the Jets to upset the Titans. I’m not sure why. Tennessee has Kerry Collins at quarterback. The MVP of the league. Who do the Jets have?
KANSAS CITY vs Buffalo - Buffalo’s season ended with Scott Norwood missed wide right last week against the Browns. What? That wasn’t Scott Norwood. It was just his biggest fan? Oh, well the Bills still are done. In Tyler Thigpen we trust.
CHICAGO at St. Louis - Devin Hester is running scared. The cure? Run against the Rams. That should make anyone run with confidence. Hell, even the 49ers played with swagger against the Rams.
NEW ENGLAND at Miami - The Dolphins beat the Pats in Week 2, Cassel’s first start and the first time the Dophins pulled out the Wildcat. I think New England is a much better team no and Billy B runs up the score to send a message.
JACKSONVILLE vs Minnesota - Anyone want to take the bet that MJD outplays AP?
BALTIMORE vs Philadelphia - Three weeks ago this would have been a huge game. But now we know both of them suck it doesn’t really matter. Phily should just quit the season now. You can’t put up 13 points on the Bengals and tie them, and expect anything good to come the rest of the year.
DALLAS vs San Francisco - I really hope Mike Singletary does something sweet during their 45 point loss. He as too right? That’s the only reason he is an NFL coach. So he can do crazy stuff and people will talk about him and he can say it was a motivation technique.
DENVER vs Oakland – What do you think Al Davis thought when George Steinbrenner gave the Yankees over to his son Hal? “Yes, I win the bet.” Or “What a puss!” Or “Who the hell are the Yankees? And who the hell are all those black people playing for my Los Angeles Raiders?”
SEATTLE vs Washington - Graig, would you and your loser Redskin fans please get a life and stop spending 22 hours a day voting for Redskins for the Pro Bowl? Just another reason to hate you and Redskin fans everywhere. (Graig might not even be reading today because he now spends all his time voting for Redskins and trying to find a way to still vote for Sean Taylor.)
NY GIANTS at Arizona - I’ve been calling it every week but this could finally be the week Kurt Warner goes down. The Giants have a great pass rush and Warner likes to be tackled by groups of large men. Giants are just too good to lose to the Cardinals, even if Arizona is going to host a playoff game this year.
INDIANAPOLIS at San Diego - Good news for the AFC West; Norv Turner will be back for the 2009 season. That’s what you want to hear as a Charger fan. A team with Super Bowl potential bringing back a coach who is going to finish out of the playoffs and under .500.
GREEN BAY at New Orleans - For no other reason than I’m sticking with my win one, lose one for the Saints.
Have a good weekend. Don’t crash in the snow. And GO BLUE!
Oh, I forgot to mention the Michigan basketball team. How good of win was that over UCLA last night? A sign of upsets to come?
You will talk about Michigan basketball, but you wont talk about the cavs? what a joke you are….
Michigan now plays Duke… aren’t we both Duke fans Beanie? Then they play Duke again in a couple of weeks. They are at least setting themselves up to be an upset team.
I wouldn’t worry too much if I was UCLA… they always start slow and then pick up speed as the season goes forward.
And I will take the bet that AP out performs Miller Jenuine Draft.
Seal, if you want, I’ll talk about Kentucky basketball. Would that make you happy?
W – I am not a Duke fan and if you are I hate you even more.
Man, I skipped over a game! Makes sense for me. And not that anyone cares but I’ll take Atlanta over Carolina.
How much snow do you guys have up there?
Jamal Lewis is to football as JBeanie is to blogging. Abysmal.
Yeah W is a Duke fan… alot of ties he has there huh?
Graig – thanks for pulling yourself way from your Pro Bowl voting to make a constructive comment today. No go back and vote for the shitty Shawn Springs. And make fun of me all you want, you keep coming back for more.
Duke and W both suck ass
Duke has been disappoint me as of the past couple of years. I think kryzewski is becoming a racist. They are capable of beating any team in the nation on the right night… and that’s when everyone on their team is hitting their 3 pointers.
