Maybe if the Lions complete their collapse, we can trade draft picks for a miracle. With Kevin Jones and Roy Williams already planning their exodus, I have no idea when we will get to being a respectable team. This was supposed to be the year. It started off very nice, but we all know where it has gone.

Steelers vs. Rams

Cowboys vs. Panthers

Browns vs. Bengals

1. First off, congrats to the Dolphins for their first win of the season.
2. Why was Brian Billick given passage to coach next season? I can think of a number of reason why he should be fired. 1) He lost to the lowly Miami Dolphins, 2) He continues to play Kyle Boller even though Troy Smith seems to bring a spark to the offense when he enters the game and 3) What happened to him being an offensive genius? The Ravens have been mediocre at best during his tenure and Marvin Lewis was as much a reason for the Super Bowl win as Billick.
3. I have seen several instances where a team calls timeout to decide whether or not to challenge the previous play. This happened during this past weekend’s Eagles-Cowboys game. When will coaches learn that it makes more sense to just throw the flag than to call timeout. If you call timeout and then challenge, but lose the challenge, then you lose two timeouts. Whereas if you just throw the flag, you lose, at most, one timeout. Sounds simple to me.
4. I still believe that the Packers are the best team in the NFC. After Sunday’s loss by the Cowboys and their struggles against my Lions, they are starting to look eerily like last year’s one and down Cowboys.
5. It has been reported on ESPN a few times over the past 24 hours that the Falcons and Dolphins are courting Bill Parcells to join their respective front offices. Excuse me, but I have long sense made this recommendation. Only, in my story, he goes to the Lions.

Oh well for the big Steelers upset of the Patriots. I am now a believer. 16-0 is oh so nice, but even still they are not dominate enough to be deemed the best team of all time.

Broncos vs. Texans
Pick:Texans

Bengals vs. 49ers
Pick:Bengals

Titans vs. Chiefs
Pick:Titans

I understand that dog fighting is illegal and I am not condoning Vick’s actions, but 23 months is an awful long time for this crime in my opinion. There appears to be far too much subjectiveness in our judicial systems. During this whole situation, I have read Vick’s possible sentence being anywhere from no jail time to 5 years. That’s a fairly large amount of “wiggle room” to basically take away a person’s life as we know it. Again, I am not condoning Vick’s actions, but it seems like we are putting an animal or animals in this case, above a human life.

We live in a society with many contradictions. PETA put forth a concerted nationwide effort to voice their displeasure with Michael Vick, but at the same time, ESPN boasts a headline in which a 5 year old killed a 400 pound bear and he becomes a television star on his local news channel. Bears, Deer, Elk, etc. are routinely killed just to be mounted on someones wall or used as a funny looking rug as in the case of the ESPN story. How are those for contradictions? In my opinion, there’s a fine line between punishing a criminal and criminal punishment. The question is which side of the line is this 23 month sentence?

I believe that Tim Tebow has been the unquestioned best player in college football this year. He should not be penalized just because he is an underclassman. Look at his stats: 3100+ passing yards, 29 passing TDs, 800+ rushing yards and 22 rushing TDs. He was the leading rusher on the team. I can barely produce this type of season by playing NCAA football on the playstation. Granted I suck at video games, but you get my point. This is an insane stat line against top notch competition.

Well, I am definitely happy that LSU made this championship game. I have strongly believed throughout the season that they are the best team in the country. Now they will be able to prove me correct. Although, I would have preferred that they play Oklahoma, Georgia or USC because the game would have been more entertaining. I can see a defensive brawl in the matchup against Ohio State.

My first issue has to be the fact that in the span of one week, the Missouri Tigers go from being ranked the #1 team in college football, to not even being in a BCS bowl. I understand the 2 team per conference limitation, but doesn’t it seem more justified to leave out Kansas and take the two teams that played in the conference championship game? (more…)

Another close one for the Patriots. I think the Steelers will be able to get the job done this week.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Cleveland Browns plan on letting Derek Anderson go to any team which is willing to give them a 1st and 3rd round draft pick. OK. Has this franchise forgotten about the Tim Couch experience? They finally have a quarterback that is not only starter worthy, but is actually playing at a Pro Bowl level, and they are willing to let him go for another college kid experiment.

Some bad decisions seem to be inherent with a franchise regardless of the face behind the decision. If I was Romeo Crennel, I would bail while Anderson has brought back some respect to his name rather than wait for Brady Quinn to get him fired.
