Not feeling so bad about the Saints loss last Thursday night now that the rest of the NFC South is also in the loss column. The Falcons took, by far, the worst beating. I'm OK with that. :) Tough one coming up this Sunday against the Bears.
Tip of the cap to Cam Newton. It's too early to say his legion of doubters are wrong but the twenty minutes or so I saw of him Sunday was awesome. He's accurate, knows where to go with the ball, extends plays with his feet, and was just very impressive all around. I was one of those doubters. I didn't know if he could adapt his game to the NFL. If yesterday is any indication, he can and his game is very dangerous. He was a run-first QB at Auburn. He only ran a little Sunday and when he did, he was looking downfield to throw. I don't think the NFL has ever seen a mobile quarterback that big, that fast, and that accurate. He's an exciting player. He's in the Saints division, too. Lucky us.
Very surprised at some pitiful performances Sunday out of the Falcons, Steelers, and Chiefs. I figured all of them to do better. In fact, I figured all three of them to win.
There was a report by WWL that Randy Moss was in town seeing if the Saints had any interest in him in light of Marques Colston's broken collarbone. That injury will keep Colston out for at least 4 weeks. Everyone, except for WWL, has since denied it. If true, tread carefully here, Saints. The NFL is a WR-needy league yet one of the most talented ones is at home on the couch. He's a great player. No doubt about that. If that's all he was, there would be 30 teams knocking on his door right now. There aren't. Saints GM, Mickey Loomis, quite often talks about the "culture of me". Randy Moss is the poster boy for that culture. My first inclination is to just say no thank you.
Colts fans and players got an eyeful of Peyton Manning's worth Sunday. That game got out of hand very quickly. I doubt Manning plays this year. Colts are in a lot of trouble for 2011.
Couldn't bear to watch the finish last night between the Raiders and Broncos. Needed 15 points out of Sebastian Janikowski and he had 10 of them by halftime. That and it was way late. He fell short, naturally, and that Tate in for Williams move I pondered momentarily and dismissed would have won the game for me. Some fantasy football player I am.

I think I'm going to lose on a tie-breaker. It all depends on if giving up a special teams TD counts against the DST. I don't remember. If it doesn't, I lose on the tie-breaker, bench points. Oh well.
Everybody knows Moss is poison. One of the all-time worst cases of destroying a personal brand and wasting rare opportunities.
I just can't imagine wasting such a rare gift. He not only could have broken every record at his position, he could have signed one or two of the richest contracts ever.
