And my Bronco's didn't even show up to play. Chump Bailey needs to be traded for and old woman with a walker. Plumber was terrible, simply piss poor performance all the way around. the announcers kept blaming the heat and humidity...Sorry but that's a lame excuse for this type of play.

Dolphins deserved the win...congrats.

So how'd your team do?

    Boy howdy! My Titans are off to what is sure to be another stellar season!

    Jesus P God!! We'll be lucky to beat anybody this year. Ugh.

    Hopefully my Colts will do well.

    Well, MY team is on its way to another Super Bowl.

    The Jets looked abysmal. SIX fumbles by Pennington? Are you kidding? That kid's a joke. Not to mention the kicker who slipped on his first and only field goal attempt. Schmuck. The Chiefs looked NASTY tho, even their D... can't be sure it wasn't just the Jets stinkin the place up, but I thought the Chief's D looked much improved.

    Saw a bit of the NO / Carolina game... nothing amazing there. I still hate Jake Delhomme wiht a passion... little spaz.

    I was really hoping for Pittsburgh to fail cuz they were so cocky and whiny last year, and I think Big Ben's rookie year was a fluke... but for them to crush the Titans like they did doesn't bode well.

    And people are pickin Minny to win the Super Bowl (or at least make it there) and they lost to Tampa Bay? Uh, I don't think so.

    Oh, and I can't believe Miami beat Denver. Didn't get ot see any of it... but still very surprising.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I agree withca Bob about Pitt but I have to be honest and say it wasnt so much Pit spanking Tenn, it was more Tenn stinking up that field with horrible play, especially defence!

    I'm sure you'll beat the Bears. I wish we here in Illinois would quit riding the '84 Bears. We need to get a team again that can compete. For some it seems OK that we have a mediocre team since we won the big game in 1984. I'm not sure I can say Super Bowl...without having to pay someone :D

    I got to see some of the Chiefs game while I was working. Lookin' good! If they run the ball like that every week....

    And then the Rams, yuck. They showed some resiliancy by coming back, but it was the same ol' same ol' special teams and O-line sucking.

    The first week in the football pool is a stinker too be sure. The point spreads didn't hurt me too much but the poor showing by some of the teams I picked sure did. OUCH!!!

    Christ! I got hammered.

    I knew that was going to be the case. I was only picking by who was good last year. Hopefully Ill do a little better as the season moves on.

    I am interested in seeing how I fair in the Football pool as I am only biased to the Panthers - the rest I could care less who will win or lose, I am going to pick the best team to me - unbiased, all that. I guess I am bias as I feel certain teams are better than others. But I didnt even watch last season. Panthers screwed up the first part of last season. I hope this isnt a repeat.

    The first Panthers game of the season was a let down, ALOT of flags on both the Panthers and NO. Panthers really screwed up in the end with taking their time, an interception, then not being able to stop NO getting down field and more flags. I wasnt that impressed, but both teams did fairly bad. Panthers just lost the hold at the end. Sucks

    Was a decent game I guess...

    Hey man! What's the matter with you? :confused: That's the '85-'86 Bears. :D

    Donkey's still suck. Shanny needs to get his butt canned from the GM position and bring in a real O coordinator so Shanny can get back to coaching the team.

    Beyond that, my random guesses look to have held up ok this week.

    Ya - it has not been easy to be a Bears fan for the last couple years. I don't know what everyone is complaining about as far as Orton is considered. Grossman hasn't played in that many games due to injury and IMO should still be considered a rookie. The front office of this team doesn't know what it's doing. Why did we draft a running back? We could've kept the A-Train & Peterson is plenty capable of backing up Jones. Just my $.02

    The Ravens performed a killer magic act last night.

    First half, now you see our defense....second half, now you don't! The almost always reliable Matt Stover blows 4 (yes FOUR) field goals.

    For christ sake can we please draft or trade for a human being (or maybe a monkey) that can THROW A DAMN FOOTBALL!

    One more thing...will a certain unnammed Raven PLEASE try to stay out of the stripclubs during football season and focus on your job as a football player. Dude, you're there all the time when it's a home game! You're stinking up M&T Bank Stadium!

    I think I'll take up local college sports instead. Atleast the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays lacrosse won a national championship and competes every year for it. Maybe i'll check out the local college gymnastics chickies too. They're hot! :D

    The Chargers are down by 4 late in the 4th quarter and have a first and goal at the 8 yd line with plenty of time left. So do they give it to the best running back in football on first down? No? :confused: How about 2nd down? No?!?! :confused: Not on any down!?!? :eek:
