Hi there. Its been one of those odd weeks that are pretty much hard to describe. First we review the upset specials and after 3 weeks I'm 1 and 5. Northwestern beat Rice and the Rams took the gas pipe against the Raiders. Still lots of time and picks left to get back to the .500 mark.
There is a part of me that is so glad to see both the Vikings and Cowboys at 0-2.
I didn't get a chance to comment on this last week, but sometimes you have wonder how competent NFL officials really are when the Lions and Calvin Johnson got completely hosed on that TD call in the Bears game that would have given them the win. I thought the rule was the ball must cross the plane of the goal line, and the receiver must have possession of the ball in the end zone? He did both. So he was down, the play was supposedly over and he dropped the ball. The official claimed no touchdown because the process wasn't complete. Huh? The process wasn't complete! What completes the process? Doing a dance so the official can give Johnson a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty? Sometimes the rules in the NFL are interpreted so ridiculously to the letter of the law.
It's deja vu all over again. Last year it was Erin Andrews and this year its Ines Sainz. However, how seriously can you take the Azteca network? They sent one of their eye candy reporters to a Super Bowl media day wearing a wedding dress and having her propose to Tom Brady? No one was right in that whole mess. The Jets behavior. The NFL. Most of all Ms. Sainz herself who got her more than 15 seconds of fame over this whole thing.
How soon will be it before Notre Dame wins a big game and Brian Kelly gets a 10 year contract extension like Charlie Weis got ? I give Mike Lupica credit for coming up with that one.
My fantasy hockey draft is tonight. I'm starting to get the NHL/AHL itch. My early take on the Phantoms is the parent club in their desire to win the Stanley Cup has traded away too many draft picks leaving the cupboard bare for Greg Gilbert.
This weeks sign of the apocalypse. Hulk Hogan is going to star in a tv show where he is going to rule and preside over sibling disputes. I love the Hulkster, but its time to just go to the old wrestlers home and hang out with the rest of the aging Hulkamaniacs.
After watching the season premiere of "Two and a half Men," I think it's time to end the
shows run.
Can't wait to see the new Wall Street sequel, "Money Never Sleeps." Note to Michael Douglas. Get better. I know you can beat this cancer. Greed is good...Leccese out.
