NFL Week 10 Recap

Belichick’s Muscle shoves a cameraman out of the way following the loss.

Colts 35, Patriots 34 - It’s being dubbed the Rivalry of the Decade and Sunday night just added to the lore. The Colts were riding a 17 game winning streak and with the win have tied the Patriots for the 3rd longest streak in NFL history. We know one thing for watching this game…Bill Belichick has a lot of balls. leading by 6 points and with no timeouts Belichick decided to go for it on 4th & 2 at the Patriots own 28. What appeared to be a first down was ruled short by officials and Peyton Manning was basically handed the game. Even though Manning had already threw a few picks in the game Belichick made the right move. He knew no matter where Manning got the ball at he was going to bust the Patriots secondary’s asses and get into the endzone.

Bengals 18, Steelers 12 - The Who Dey! phenomenon is growing by the week. Even though he got suspended from school we’re sure the kid who got the Bengals “B” cut into his dome last week is cheesin’ like Chuck E. The Bengals solidified their position atop the AFC North with the win, sweeping the Steelers for the first time since 1998 and improving to 5-0 in the division for the first time in franchise history. Along with the Colts and Patriots, they are a Top 3 team in the AFC at this point in the season.

Saints 28, Rams 23 - Drew Brees and company continue to ball out, granted it was against the Rams but they don’t make the schedule. The Saints are off to their first 9-0 start in franchise history. Reggie Bush did a little bit of work with 85 yards and a TD on 6 carries. With the win the Saints improved to 4-0 on the road this season.

Vikings 27, Lions 10 - In another battle of good team vs shitty team, Brett Favre and the Vikes easily disposed of the divsion rival pushover Lions. Favre went 20-29 for 344 yards and a TD and AP did his usual thug thizzle rushing for 133 yards and 2 TD. Peterson has had a cause of the fumbles lately, coughing up 2 in the game, but it mattered not because the Vikings defense is legit.

NFL Week 6 Recap

Saints 48, Giants 27 - After slacking for the previous 2 games Saints QB Drew Brees was back on his grind, demoralizing the G-Men’s defense to the tune of 369 passing yards and 4 TD. The Saints are off to their first 5-0 start since 1993 and snapped a 5 game losing streak in games following a bye. Meanwhile the Giants defense allowed 493 total yards, which is the most that they have given up since 1988.

Vikings 33, Ravens 31 - Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson continue to dominate the NFL, as the Vikings are off to their first 6-0 start since 2003. This is the first time in Favre’s career that he has won 6 straight games as the starter and the old head continued to utilize as the Vikes weapons, passing for 278 yards and 3 TD, while Peterson rushed for 143 yards. Sidney Rice had a breakout game with a career-high 176 receiving yards on 6 catches. The Ravens continue to struggle, losing their last 3 games after starting the season 3-0.

Patriots 59, Titans 0 - After a spanking like this, Jeff Fisher might be getting the boot at the end of the season. The Titans continued sucking as the Patriots finally clicked on all cylinders and Tom Brady brought back flashes of 2007. Brady’s 5 TD passes in the 2nd quarter alone set an NFL record for any quarter in League history and his 6 total tied his own franchise record. Randy Moss finally came to play as well, catching 3 TD passes as well as putting up 129 receiving yards. The 59 point margin of defeat is tied for the largest since the 1970 merger.

Falcons 21, Bears 14 - Matt Ryan and the Falcons offense used a no-huddle scheme for most of the game to squeak out this nail-biter in the Georgia Dome. The Bears blew golden opportunities to send the game to OT including a Matt Forte fumble on 3rd & Goal at the 1 and an Orlando Pace false start on a 4th & 1 in the final moments of the game. Jay Cutler responded from some early mistakes to lead his team down the field but the Bears could not punch in any of these opportunities.

Bills 16, Jets 13 OT - All the fanfare that surrounded the Jets 3-0 start and christening of Mark Sanchez as this year’s Matt Ryan have began to fade. After a poor showing against the Dolphins on Monday night, the Dirty continued to slump. With 5 interceptions in the game Sanchez has thrown 8 total in the last 3 games with just one TD pass. After taking the lead early the Jets faltered in the back half of the game, getting outscored 13-0 in the final 2 quarters and OT.

NFL Coming Back To The City Of Angels?

In the early 90’s, the Raiders and Rams were a major part of the Los Angeles sports scene. They soon relocated to new cities, better stadiums and left a once proud professional football city, starving for a gridiron team. It looks like the wait may be coming to an end for the city of Angels.

According to several published reports, the Jacksonville Jaguars and San Diego Chargers are two organizations that may make the move. The Jags rarely sellout the antiquated Jacksonville Municipal stadium and suffer frequent blackouts of their games. The Chargers have an abysmal stadium deal and have a huge fan base in the Los Angeles area.

Sites like Irwindale, Ca have been targeted for new stadiums over the years, but to no avail. The NFL will put a team in the LA area, but which franchise will have the heart to pick up and move an entire organization, possibly alienating their built-in fan-base?

NFL Week 3: Vick’s Back, Lions Snap Losing Streak

Eagles 34, Chiefs 14 - Even though he only got in for 11 plays, the legend that is Mike Vick is back in the NFL for the first time since 2006. In his sparing usage Vick did manage to rush for 8 yards but did not complete a pass. DeSean Jackson’s career-high 149 receiving yards were highlighted by his sick flip into the endzone, we think he’s got that whole thing figured out now and might be Pro Bowl caliber. Kevin Kolb looked pretty solid, becoming the first player to pass for 300 or more yards in their first 2 starts. Meanwhile the Chiefs are sh*tty…again. Preseason included, Todd Haley’s team hasn’t won a game this year. Tis tough.

Vikings 27, 49ers 24 - If AP can stay healthy and Favre just continues to play solid, the Vikings will go to the Super Bowl. The Bay was ready to go dumb with this one, but with time running out Brett Favre came through with another legendary play, hitting receiver Greg Lewis in the endzone for the game-winning touchdown. The dude may be old, but he’s trying to go out like Jordan should have, but he didn’t have a squad like Favre does.

Lions 19, Redskins 14 - Even though Detroit still sucks, they are getting it going tonight after the Lions snapped a 19-game losing streak that dated back to the end of the 2007 season. It sucks losing but it’s even worse being a loser. Jim Schwartz is trying to erase that feeling in a city that has been down but not out like a Cam and Kanye track.

Bengals 23, Steelers 20 - The Bengals are on pace to debunk the curse of Hard Knocks. After tricking off their opener to the Broncos on a freak play, they have responded nicely with wins the past 2 weeks. The AFC North is going to be a beast this year (minus the Browns). The Steelers are still trying to figure it out and have lost their last 3 road games.

Herschel Walker Wants You To Kiss His Converse

Herschel Walker may be an old head (he was a dominant force in Tecmo Bowl), but the former NFL legend has some heart. The 47 year old decided to sign a multi-fight contract with Mixed Martial Arts group Strikeforce, which is something like the UFC. Walker is very knowledgeable in hand-to-hand combat and while he may not know karazy, he does know some karate (hopefully more than Dirk Diggler).

Walker will begin training soon and we are hoping that he doesn’t go out like Johnnie Morton, but all signs point to him taking an ass-whooping when he does step into the ring. Considering that Strikeforce has a contract with CBS, we are praying that Gus Johnson gets to call the fight.

NFL Week 2 Recap

Another solid weekend of NFL football and less than a week until our knig Mike Vick is back on the field, where he belongs….

Giants 33, Cowboys 31 - The G-Men spoiled America’s teams home-opener in the new Cowboys stadium. Jerry Jones had to be salty considering the billion plus dollars he spent on the 8th wonder of the world and the fact that a crowd the size of a respectable city came out to see their team get serviced. Tis Tuff.

Jets 16, Patriots 9 - Rex Ryan was talking a lot of heat this offseason but he backed it up, helping the Jets snap an 8-game home losing streak vs the Patriots that goes back to 2000. Tom Brady looked decent, but its becoming obvious that his knee is shadier than expected.

Vikings 27, Lions 13 - For a brief moment we thought the Lions might have a chance, then reality set in. After opening the game with a 10-0 lead, Detroit gave up 27 straight points. Brett Favre also set an NFL record with his 271st consecutive start.

Bengals 31, Packers 24 - Who Dey? The Bengals rebounded from a tough loss last weekend to service the Pack in Lambeau for the first time in team history. There is nothing better than when Ochocinco does a leap into the stands at an opposing team’s stadium. Unome! to Antwan Odom, who had 5 sacks in the game…

Will.I.Am Calls Out Primetime At NFL Kickoff Concert

This is some crazy ‘ish right here. During the NFL Opening Kickoff concert in Pittsburgh, the Black Eyed Peas front man, Will.I.Am, took some time out from preforming to publicly challenge Deion Sanders to a race in front of thousands of fans.

During a break in the action, Will.I.Am told the entire crowd that he wanted to race Primetime and then proceeded to take his shoes off, saying he was from the hood and was no stranger to racing barefoot. Not to be outdone, Sanders took off his suit jacket and shoes, letting Will.i.am know that he was down for whatever.

The Richest And Most Valuble Teams In The NFL…

Everybody that knows anything about football knows that America’s Team, aka The Dallas Cowboys, are worth more than any other sports franchise. How else do you think they could build the sickest stadium in the US for over a billion dollars…

But just because they’re worth the most doesn’t mean they make the most. That title goes to the Washington Redskins, who clear $345 million every year. Even the New England Patriots ($302) have more revenue coming in than the Cowboys ($280).

And the team who has the least amount in revenue, the Lions…who still pull in a very respectible $206 mill. Now imagine how much they’d make if they won a game. SI.com
