The Wild And Crazy World Of The NFL

I'm guessing my good friend Kelly Remple and the WOLF's Bill Toffan must be in a rather frenzied state right now. After being oh so close to being in the Super Bowl last year, their beloved Minnesota Vikings are nowhere to being the team they were last year. Brett Favre has looked slightly less than ordinary and the Vikings are 0-2 after being upset by Miami 14-10.
While the Vikings are 0-2, so are the Cowboys (HA, HA). Jerry Jones' team lost at home to the Bears 27-20. While those teams are 2-0, Tampa Bay is 2-0. Tampa Bay? Kansas City is 2-0. Kansas City?
Mark Sanchez outduels Tom Brady as the Jets beat the Patriots. Houston comes back from 17 down in the 4th to beat Washington and yes, the Seahawks shoot themselves in the foot repeatedly and get blown out by Denver (Now I owe Vanstone dinner! DAMN!!)
You just can't seemingly think anything is a certainty in the NFL.

What is a certainty in the CFL is that the Edmonton Eskimos are just horrible. Anthony Calvillo returned as the Alouettes destroyed the Eskimos with Eric Tillman in attendance. I wonder what E-T scribbled in his notebook when it came to evaluating the "talent" that he has.

The other game had Toronto beat Winnipeg in a contest that NFL fans can point to when CFL fans tell them how much better their game is. Holy snooze-fest!!

Did I actually hear the guys on TSN say Tom Higgins has admitted an officiating mistake that cost BC on Saturday night. Did Higgins actually say that a clipping call should have been made on a Maurice Mann touchdown reception. Why is Higgy throwing his officials under the bus now when we have had several terrible examples of officiating. It wouldn't be because the coach that was affected was Wally Buono was it?

What were the odds of Jose Bautista hitting 50 homers at the start of the year. Seriously?

Randy Orton is the new WWE champ. Daniel Bryan is the new US champion and Drew McIntyre and "Nauseating" Cody Rhodes are the new tag champs. What is this setting up?

What's the world record for most sneezes used in a day or most kleenex used in a day. I gotta be close. Ah-Ah-Ah-AH CHOOOOOOOO!!!!

NFL Gameday on the NFL network brings the best highlights package of anyone. Its too bad I can only stomach so much before getting sick of Deion Sanders. SHUT UP!!!!!!

Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio calls a gutsy fake field goal call in overtime against Notre Dame Saturday night that works to give the Spartans the win. Moments after the game, he had to be rushed to hospital after having a heart attack. This makes me wonder if anyone checked on Ken Miller after Friday's game. I joked with him when it was over if he had taken some heart pills. He told me after that one he might have to start passing them out to people in the crowd.

I still would have kicked the field goal.

Seeing Brett Favre fall flat on his face was the BEST part of the weekend. I hope he gets benched and then hops in the truck back to Mississippi and we never hear from him again except for when he goes into the HOF.

Couldn't agree more with you on Deion Sanders.

I think 90 percent of the Rider Nation would have kicked the field goal.

There is no way Eric can fix that roster and make them competitive next year. What a mess! The little garden gnome set that team back many years. They might be the worst team I have seen in the CFL in years. It still baffles me as to how the Riders got beat by them.
