NFL week 3


Did a week 3 prediction chart on all the NFL games going on, against the spread ( w/ the +3 or -5 pts, for those of you who aren't degenerate gamblers out there). Watchin' the 4 o'clock games (or in Pacific time, the 1PM games).


Pretty intriuging stuff: Philip Rivers just completed a fleaficker to Gates after giving it to Sproles, but I'm more impressed with Sproles's ability to pass back to Rivers on a line.


Scratch that, I AM very impressed w/ Rivers: for scrambling on 3rd and Goal to get into the endzone, UNTOUCHED. Good presence. I agree, this is his team now, and he's gotta push them into the playoffs, even if the Bolts think they can breeze in w/ a weak division. The obstacle this year: Still the Broncos, who changed QB's, coaches, RB's, brand of cereal eaten in the morning, number of trips they go to the bathroom, but still threatening to go 3-0 to start.


Before I forget, Amazing Race 2-hour premiere tonight, w/ a team supposedly being eliminated before even going anywhere. Theories:


1.) Hot-dog eating contest at the beginning, last team to eat 10 hot dogs total doesn't start, but also doesn't have to start on a world-wide experience w/ severe indigestion.

2.) "Shaq versus" comes to Amazing Race, and the contestants have to beat Shaq at world geography before moving on, last team to identify that "mexico city" is in mexico stays behind.

3.) Phil Keoghan, the beloved host, walks up to random team, clears his throat, pauses for suspense, and phil-iminates them on the spot, peremptorily. Because he could.


Who's this Johnny Knox guy that has become Jay Cutler's favorite target? Sounds like a Cartoon Network hero, playing like the Roadrunner getting past Wiley E. Coyote, who can't catch up to him.



Chad Henne sighting: playing QB for Miami. First Chad pennington, then Cleo Lemon, now Chad Henne? A couple yers ago I had to turn down a good offer for a "Henne rhymes with *&^%$%$ shirt at University of Illinois.


I woulda recommended Jason Hanson for a fantasy start this week, as the Lions can actually score points, and they were able to upset the Redskins at home. If I were Washington, I'd be too embarrassed to play the next week. Plus, they're in the same division as Dallas, Philly, and NYG, so yea their season's pretty much over anyway. Tough sports town, D.C. is now. They now have to resort to hockey- not a pleasant alternative.


My suggestion for playing tennis: Eat a banana beforehand. Seriously. It keeps your energy level up, you feel good about yourself, it reall effects the way you play.


Pick up Mike Sims-walker for Jacksonville. Another solid 81-yard performance today, he looks like the tallest of the midgets in the Jaguar WR corps and he's young, and the other hyphenated guy on Jags is very good (Jones-Drew), so why not take a chance?


Look for Peyton Manning to tear up the Arizona D in the desert tonight. At least a 96% chance of 300 yards raining down at Sun Devil Stadium (Is that still where they play? I only get that impression cuz of Jerry Maguire).


Wow, ANOTHER over-the-top throw to a WR by Philip Rivers. He is very adept.......man can sling it, even when he was part of the wolf pack at NC State.


JaMarcus Russell stinks.........automatic drop, methinks, and he's really going the way of Cade McNown.


What's this? Drew Brees only has 140 yards? And it's the 4th quarter? Wow......speaks volumes about the Bills D, the 3rd straight game they've had a tremendous effort. Did T.O. even play this game? 0 catches for 0 yards............I shoulda vocalized that I was very low on him this year......this is why.


If you started Brady Quinn today, it's like the website fmylife.com.............you totally deserved it. He got pulled in favor of Derek Anderson cuz he just can't throw, and especially at Baltimore that was a death trap.

Fantasize on,
Robert Yan
