Are you ready for some football?!
Hope springs eternal here in Michigan. Lions vs. Bears for first place in the NFC North...0-0 with about 5 minutes done in the first quarter.
I weep today as I await my beloved Packers next loss.AWB
Am I the only one without a CBS network today? I can't watch the Dolphins game.
I have taken a break from the Saints, simply because I think Jim Haslett and Aaron Brooks should be placed in front of a firing squad for total ineptitude. But!, I'm going to turn down the sound on the TV and turn up Jim Henderson and Hokie Gajan(man I miss Archie on Saints' radio!) today.
Nick Saban returns to Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge with the Dolphins this afternoon. While he'll likely get a friendly reception, I doubt many people in attendance would be upset if the Saints beat the crap out of the Dolphins. ;^)
Les Miles is a good coach, going 9-2 or even 10-1, with Alabama the last real test on the schedule. But Saban had LSU primed for another national title run this season, before he bolted for Miami. If he'd waited one more season, Tiger fans would have forgiven and understood. He wants a challenge, but we want another national title!
I got quite a chuckle from this:
BOSTON (AP) -- Atlanta Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall lost his endorsement deal with Reebok after wearing cleats with the Nike swoosh during a Monday night game.
``Effective immediately, DeAngelo Hall will no longer be a Reebok-endorsed athlete,'' John Lynch, vice president of sports marketing for Reebok, said in a statement.
The company, headquartered in Canton, Mass., declined further comment Thursday on Hall's multiyear deal. Hall's agent, Joel Segal, did not immediately return calls Thursday from The Associated Press.
Hall, who leads the Falcons with four interceptions this season, was supposed to be wearing Reebok shoes in Atlanta's 27-14 victory over the New York Jets on Monday night. He signed with Reebok after he was drafted No. 8 overall last year.
Giants: 5 - 2
Cowboys: 5 - 3
Eagles: 4 - 3
Redskins: 4 - 3
Why wasn't anyone thrown out of the Pats-Bills game for committing an unnatural Act?
