BROWNIES!!!!!!

What a week!! Let's recap some of Sunday's finishes:

A last minute field goal propelled the Vikings past the Lions.

The Bears scored with 11 seconds left to move ahead of the Falcons, but in those 11 seconds, the Falcons returned the kickoff to their own 44, completed a 26 yard pass, and kicked the game-winning field goal.

The Texans converted on 4th and ten and again on 4th and goal and got their first win of the season.

The Redskins were kicked out of the league with their loss to the lamest show on turf on a last play field goal. It was sad news for the 'Skins who would still be only one game out in the NFC East, but those are the perils of the old Oakland Raiders rule. This game was also highlighted by a fumble return TD by Oshiomogho Atogwe, who has possibly the best handle this side of John David Booty.

Then there are the Cowboys, who made a ten point comeback in the closing minutes of their game against the Cardinals, capped by a Nick Folk field goal. In kicking the field goal, Folk broke his own NFL record for longest time required to make a last second kick, shattering the mark he set against the Toronto Bills last year. After Tony Romo (we'll discuss him later) spiked the ball to stop the clock with 4 seconds remaining, the officials caught an injured Cardinals player trying to get off of the field, and decided that he was offside by about 30 yards. Then they decided to review the play (apparently you can review a penalty, assuming it will waste enough time). By this time it was about 9:34 pm. The end result was Folk had 5 yards taken off of his kick attempt, which was now a slightly more manageable 52 yards. The snap, the hold, BLOCKED!!!! Cards win! Cards win! Wait, what?? Timeout?? No play??? That's right, in an attempt to ice the kicker, the Cards pulled possibly the most hateful legal stunt in pro football, calling a timeout just before the snap, presumably allowing the kick to be made, and forcing the kicker to do it again (read: Toronto Bills vs Cowboys). Well their lack of sportsmanship backfired, and on 7:26 am the Tuesday after kickoff, Folk nailed the field goal to send the game into overtime.

Then the Cardinals blocked a punt for a touchdown and ended the game. And Tony Romo broke his finger in overtime. And the punter got hurt as well.

So in the coming weeks, Romo will be replaced by Brad Johnson, pictured here at the signing of the Magna Carta in the year 1215:

"What are all these damn kids doing on my lawn?"

Then there are the Cleveland Browns, who dismantled the undefeated defending champion Giants, leaving the Tennessee Titans as the only undefeated team in the NFL. It's true, I can't make that shit up.

Vince Young has not been informed.

CFL rules MNF

In one of the greatest CFL games in recent history, the Minnesota Roughriders edged out the New Orleans Roughriders 30-27 last night at the Superdome. The teams combined for 99 yards rushing but managed to put 57 points on the scoreboard thanks to turnovers and special team plays. The hard working statisticians at Monday Night Football informed me that had this been an NFL game, it would have been the first in history to feature a blocked field goal for touchdown, 2 punt return touchdowns, and a TD pass by a running back.

In a play which won't soon be forgotten by the Irish faithful, Reggie Bush pushes himself over the goal line for the first of two return TDs.

Roughriders running back Reggie Bush was the star of the game with 29 yards along the ground. Oh yeah he also had 7 receptions, returned 2 punts returned for touchdowns, and passed Tony Stewart in the closing moments of the GrandNationalWinstonNextelSprint Cup race at Talledega, though this last play was overturned by a holding penalty... or something...

Bush does it again.

And I can hear your snide little questions "how did your hero AD Pete do?" "Didn't hear too much from him last night did we?". Well, Adrian Peterson didn't suit up for the Roughriders. He was hurt and stuff. He was replaced by the other Adrian Peterson from the Chicago Roughriders, who rushed for less than 2 yards per carry. End of story.

Just so you know...

I've joined a fantasy hockey league that is designed for goons and bad players. I decided to make my roster the starting 20 (probably) for the Toronto Make-me Laughs. We'll see how they fare against great names such as Carcillo, Ruutu, and Parros.

welcome

Well here we are...
Welcome to the wonderful and sometimes even true world of pro football, and whatever the hell else i feel like talking about.
I come to you today watching the future of the quarterback position in the nfl, two up and coming go-getters named Warner and Favre. On a related note, judging from what I've seen today I think that the Fighting Irish may be better off facing these Cardinals next week.
In other news, in light of yet another dismal loss by the tail -spinning Toronto Argonauts, coach Don Matthews is shaking up the line-up yet again, and he thinks that Toronto fans will be very pleased:













"I've finally made a decision" says Sundin.

Now it's time for the Toronto Bills to face the lamest show on turf, the St. Louis Rams. I'm imposing the old "Oakland Raiders" rule on the Rams this year (i.e. lose to this team and you're kicked out of the league)

I'll be updating whenever i damn well feel like it, i.e. whenever something good, or so God-forsaken awful that it's good, happens in the world of football. (or some lesser sport like hockey, baseball, or auto racing).

Peace.
