- At first I thought something was wrong with the tint function on my television set, and then I realized it was the NFL’s tribute to Breast Cancer awareness.
- I can stand the stain of pink for such a worthy cause.
- Wade Phillips might not think so in a few weeks.
- That’s “pink slip” for you who didn’t get it.
- At least that’s what I’m hoping.
- Speaking of pink, just add a few polka dots and flags and you have the new uniform for NFL quarterbacks.
- It’s not called the Tom Brady rule for nothing.
- He sure did benefit from the rule that bears his name.
- Then again, the Ravens defense couldn’t really stop him without the call.
- Don’t look now, but here come the Patriots.
- It took four weeks, but Randy Moss finally rediscovers the end zone.
- Good thing for Baltimore that Derrick Mason returned for another season.
- Bad thing for Baltimore that Mark Clayton can’t hold on to the ball.
- Fundamental Football 101, Lesson 1: you catch the ball with your hand not your pads.
- Ravens should have chased Brady from the pocket more.
- Ray Rice is ready to get more carries in the Ravens offense.
- Now playing on Broadway: “Sanchez Under Siege.”
- Mama (Sanchez) said there’d be daze like this.
- He’ll bounce back because he has a good coach and a stable defense.
- The Saints may have won, but the Jets defense was still impressive holding New Orleans to 24 points and keeping the game close up until the end.
- Way to waste your coach’s strategic time out, Kris Jenkins.
- The Saints were always a Sharper defense away from a Super Bowl birth. This year, they may have it.
- Props to Sharper for passing Prime Time on the pix six list.
- Building himself quite a Hall of Fame resume.
- Wouldn’t be surprised if Drew Brees and Peyton Manning shared the MVP award at season’s end.
- Both are making anonymous receivers household names.
- Even the French-sounding Pierre Garcon is getting some stateside love catching passes from Manning.
- I thought Dwight Sweeney was hurt?
- He and Robert Mathis play “Meet me at the Quarterback” with Seneca Wallace.
- The Seahawks really, really miss Steve Hutchinson.
- The Seahawks really, really miss a healthy Matt Hasselbeck.
- Seattle didn’t find the end zone until the Colts mentally left the building.
- Usually running and quarterbacks reward their blockers for a job well-done. Larry Johnson and Matt Cassell may want to ask for refunds.
- They were getting virtually no help from their offensive line.
- Or are the Giants just that good?
- It was bad enough the Chiefs were playing the Giants, but the refs didn’t make it any easier with a bad call against Jerrod Page.
- We may need to dress receivers in pink and polka dot too.
- No longer the “Other” Steve Smith.
- Manning has found his No. 1 receiver.
- Roy Williams is NOT a No. 1 receiver.
- We see now why the Lions unloaded Roy Williams.
- Your main receiver, if he’s able to stand, has to be in the game when it matters most.
- Hello, my name is Jason Garrett, Princeton University graduate. To show you how smart I am, I will target one of the best cornerbacks in the league with an undrafted receiver who is fourth on the depth chart and do it not once but twice while the game on the line.
- Not only that, I will win the game without putting the ball in the hands of Marion Barber, who ran over five guys on his way to the end zone, and Jason Witten, who was a blocking tight end on the final two plays.
- Now marvel at my genius.
- Why on earth do you target Champ Bailey 16 times with low round and undrafted receivers?
- Why on earth do you decide to pass the ball on 3 and 14 deep in your own territory with a 10 point lead and, up to that point, a game that was a battle of field position?
- Why on earth do you abandon the run in the second half when this was turning out to be a low-scoring, field position game?
- Then again, he managed to get Jerry Jones to make him the highest paid coordinator in the game with more authority than his head coach. So maybe he is a genius.
- Stop complaining, Cowboys fans. Warren Sapp was right. Hit these Cowboys in the mouth and they’ll fold.
- This team doesn’t deserve Marion the Barberian.
- Nor Keith Brooking, who was a nice pickup for Dallas.
- Hello Newman. Goodbye Newman.
- Talk about helping someone out of the doghouse.
- On that play, the Cowboys defenders looked like the football version of the Keystone cops.
- Brandon Marshall just discovered that winning is the great elixir.
- I guess Josh McDaniels knows what he’s doing afterall.
- Kyle Orton says, “How ya like me now, Denver?”
- Mike Nolan, the miracle worker as defensive coordinator for Denver.
- Some people are just better suited to be coordinators than coaches.
- Romo will shoulder most of the blame, but he needs a coach and a coordinator who can protect him. Phillips and Garrett just aren’t the guys.
- I hope Jerry Jones sees pink when he looks at Wade Phillips.
- Nice guy, he’s just not one who’s going to take your team very far in the post season.
- Mike Singletary, on the other hand.
- If a team takes on the personality of its coach, we shouldn’t be surprised of the 49ers’ improvement.
- After I saw the “Hill” segment on Sunday Countdown, I said, “That’s a coach who understands how to prepare a team.”
- If Jerry Jones wasn’t such a glory hound, Singletary would be wearing a star.
- Speaking of Hill, Shaun Hill is the type of quarterback Romo should be with proper coaching.
- Yes, it was the Rams. But good teams are supposed to bury bad teams.
- Singletary is the best thing to happen to Vernon Davis.
- Tell me why, again, Michael Crabtree is holding out?
- Yes, the Butler (Quincy) did (kick) it.
- Danny Amendola, you’re no Wes Welker.
- Fundamental Football 101, Lesson 2: You never throw across the field, Kyle Boller.
- Patrick Willis says thank you for the gift.
- Willis will wear a Hall of Fame jacket some day.
- Speaking of gifts, I’ll supply the red ribbon because the NFC West is a wrap for the Niners.
- Disaster diverted in D.C.
- Fundamental Football 101, Lesson 3: Ball security is a must, especially near the end of the game when you’re trying to score, Clifton Smith.
- Oh my Gosh, Josh all most pulled off the upset.
- The long ball lives in Washington.
- Cris Cooley’s becoming Campbell’s security blanket.
- Heart attack prevention tips: Exercise, a low-sodium diet, avoid watching Bengals games.
- Expect defibulator sales to go through the roof if this keeps up.
- We’re witnessing the maturation of Carson Palmer before our very eyes.
- He talks Marvin Lewis into going for it on 4 and 10 in overtime then runs the ball for a first down. Gutsy call, gutsy play.
- Cleveland turned in some great performances in a losing effort.
- Josh Cribbs was special on a day when the Cincinnati punt and kick return units weren’t.
- Jerome Harrison’s great rushing day wasted.
- A brotha with the Native American-sounding name, Mohamed Massaquoi, had a great day for a rookie wide receiver.
- Interesting how outcast Cowboy coaches (Mike Zimmer) are able to resurrect their careers with other teams.
- Redemption, thy name is Shayne Graham.
- Gotham City has the dynamic duo (Batman and Robin); Jacksonville has the hyphenated duo (Jones-Drew and Sims-Walker).
- We may have been too early in shoveling sand on the Jaguars grave.
- The Titans, on the other hand …
- Tennessee fans should attend the next home game with forks.
- With the Colts up next, this team is done.
- From 4-0 last year to 0-4 this year, can you say “Titanic” collapse?
- Special teams, offense, defense, nothing went right for Tennessee.
- I hear Albert Haynesworth is still for sale.
- Hand me the binoculars, I think I see Vince Young warming up on the sidelines.
- It’s official: Kerry Collins is a bus driver.
- This team needs a spark of some type. He may not be able to pass, but he can run.
- Where is Waldo? Where is Lendale White?
- The Raider’s new motto: Commitment to Excrement.
- That describes the product of football in Oakland these days.
- Darren McFadden (6 rushes -3) better run as fast as he can – out of Oakland – if he wants to salvage his career.
- The Raiders punt unit treated Jacoby Jones like he had the swine flu.
- Jones sprinted up the middle of the punt return unit and I doubt anyone even touched him, much less acted like they wanted to touch him.
- One of these things is just like the other, one of these things are just the same: JaMarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch.
- Houston put the safety hug on Huggie Bear’s baby boy – Justin Fargus.
- The Raiders showed up at the right time on the schedule for Houston.
- Imagine how good Ronnie Brown would be if he had a great offensive line.
- The Wildcat still works for the Dolphins.
- Fortunately, someone on Miami’s staff understands that you must protect a young quarterback with a running game.
- I’m even surprised Ricky Williams still has some gas left in the tank.
- Amazing what a change of scenery, perspective and a bottle of Geritol will do to a career, huh, Jason Taylor?
- Just call Trent Evans Marconi. I don’t think he could have telegraphed his passes any better.
- Rumor is the Bills want to get rid of their brilliant return specialist? Parrish the thought.
- Items from the Lost and Found: A step by T.O. and L.T., a sack by DeMarcus Ware, killer instinct for the Cowboys.
- Don’t get me wrong. Ware is a great player, but he’s not a game-changing, clutch player. He just doesn’t make big plays when the game’s on the line.
- Jay Cutler brought something to Chicago from Denver, Elway’s flair for the dramatics.
- Denver had its helicopter moment, Chicago needed theirs.
- So far, the trade is a win-win for Chicago and Denver.
- The Bears struck gold with rookie Johnny (Fort) Knox.
- Hopefully Matthew Stafford’s injury isn’t too serious.
- Winning last week inspired the Lions, at least for a few quarters.
- Rashad MendenHAUL shows he can carry the load (29-165yds 2TDs) for the Steelers.
- Pittsburgh’s offensive line just manhandled the Chargers defense.
- Look liked a one-sided Sumo wrestling match.
- You might try to pull the fork out of Shawne Merriman’s back, but it’s going to be very difficult.
- He’s just a shell – and a clean urine sample – of his former self.
- You have to give it to the Chargers, though, they put up a fight.
- There’s no doubt now that the Chargers are Rivers’ team.
- You give him a few more weapons, and he will take this team to a Super Bowl.
- How can you not love watching Hines Ward play the game of football?
- He likely won’t make the Hall of Fame, but he should be on everyone’s all-around tough-guy team.
- The Steelers should always convert a 4 and inches with big Ben Roethlisberger.
- I think it’s safe to say L.T. aint catching Emmitt Smith.
- Sorry, Deshea Townsend but you’re not bringing Antonio Gates down without wrapping up.
- Optimist view: the teams the Cowboys lost to are a combined 8-0.
- Pessimist view: the teams the Cowboys beat are a combined 0-7.
- Top five: 1.) Colts, 2.) Giants, 3.) Saints, 4.) Vikings, 5.) Patriots
- Bottom five: 28.) Buccaneers, 29.) Browns, 30.) Chiefs, 31.) Raiders, 32.) Rams
