I love talking about nothing. It is the only thing I know anything about. -Oscar Wilde
1. Mighty Vince Young. What a man, what a man, what a man. What a mighty good man. Can we please stop the Michael Vick comparisons? Senator, I served with Mighty Vince Young. I knew Mighty Vince Young. Mighty Vince Young was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Mighty Vince Young. No he’s not. Vick counted on his legs first. Young thinks pass first. If nothing is there, then he’s gone. Young threw a pair of touchdown passes against last year’s feel good Saints. Down ten zip, he did what he does best. He came back. Came back and won a football game. Look out for these Titans. They are looking good. Pretty, pretty good.
2. Yankees lose. Ha ha! Suckers. Two games. Magic number five.
3. We are the Bears Shufflin’ Crew. Shufflin’ on down, doin’ it for you! The Bears are 1-2. Rex Grossman is an abject disastah. He hasn’t tallied a quarterback rating higher than 56.0 in any of the three games this season. Against the Boys, on Sunday, he put up a paltry passer mark of 27.5. 27.5, yikes! And that was only the fifth-lowest rating in Grossman’s 26 career starts. Whoa Nelly! Isn’t it time? Isn’t it time for Brian Griese. If not now, when?
4. I’m coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I’m just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah! Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson pleaded guilty Monday to charges of drug possession and driving under the influence stemming from a traffic stop last year as he was leaving a nightclub. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
5. Queens is burning. Do the Metropolitans want to win this thing? It sure doesn’t look like it. New York’s magic number remained at five and its lead in the division dropped to two games over idle Philadelphia. I still think the Mets are the cream of the NL, but geez. Yesterday’s drubbing at the hands of the lowly Washington Nationals was their fourth straight loss at Shea and fifth in their last six home games. That’s no way to win a pennant. No way at all. The Fighting Phills open a three-game series with Atlanta tonight. The Mets have allowed Philadelphia to stay in the race, making these final six games meaningful. It’s gettin’, it’s gettin’, it’s gettin’ kinda hectic.
6. They won’t turn back because they wear the Silver and Black. Now, JaMarcus Russell wears the Silver and Black too. JaMarcus Russell was just added to the Raiders roster. Furthermore, Josh McCown’s status is in doubt due to a sore foot. Don’t look now, but the J-Rock era in Oakland is fast approaching.
7. Can anybody beat the Patriots? Anybody? Week nine is looming larger than ever. The Bengals are up next. Up next without the services of Rudi Johnson. This is what the Patriots are going to do to the Bengals next week:
8. Operation Raw Deal. In a four-day series of daylight raids that ended Sunday, Drug Enforcement Administration agents shut down 26 underground steroid labs and made more than 50 arrests across the country, capping what agents are calling the largest performance-enhancing drug crackdown in U.S. history. This does not bode well.
9. DeAngelo Hall lost his damned mind. Hall’s loss of composure on the field helped lead to the Atlanta Falcons’ third straight loss. His tirade on the sideline could cost him a fine or a suspension. With all that’s going on down in Hot ‘Lanta. I’d let this cat go. The Falcons won’t.
10. No more Deuce. Preliminary diagnosis on running back Deuce McAllister is that he has a torn ACL in his left knee and will likely miss the remainder of the season. Fantasy owners and Saints fans alike cannot be happy. Hope you have your paper bags handy. Now we’ll see what St. Reggie is truly made of.
Peace out homies. Six two and even!
