Week 2 NFL Thoughts
>> Tuesday
Damn CBS and Fox combining to screw me over with two games, one of which was a Jets-Patriots game that meant zilch to me. Hopefully when I'm gainfully employed at this time next year, I will have Sunday Ticket at my place.
San Diego, Super Chargers. Okay, maybe they have yet to tangle with the NFL elite. They still look like a Super Bowl team to me.
Da Bears, Da Bears, Da Bears, Da Bears. Erik Kramer, you finally have to give up the title of last legitimate NFL QB to wear a Bears uniform.
Roy Williams, how did that guarantee work for you again?
Could it be, two playoff caliber teams from the NFC North?
Carolina will still rebound and win the NFC South. When Steve Smith gets back to running up and down the field, and Mike Vick has his leg fitted for a cast, the rightful order will be restored.
Andy Reid must have been dreaming of the postgame spread prematurely.
Eli made a big step in his ascent to the elite NFL QB's.
Aaron Brooks, you're time as NFL starting quarterback has officially ended.
Damn, David Pollack has had some awful luck with injuries. Maybe they can consult Maurice Clarett on finding his replacement.
Folks, a legitimate NFL team may be emerging in San Francisco, still making it one for the Bay.
Seattle, you're still not fooling me. A potential four team dogfight may be shaping up in the NFC West.
David Carr has managed to stay upright long enough to throw 4 TD's in his first two games.
Aww, T.O. has a broken finger. Deep down, you know Bill Parcells is smiling.
Vinnie may have already brought this up, but for the love of God, doesn't Washington have any better options at QB. Hell, take a trip to Capitol Hill and sign J.C. Watts.
Coming from Mr. Offense himself, that Jacksonville-Pittsburgh really kicked some ass. Watch out for Matt Jones, he has superstar potential. Also, Fragile Fred played shockingly well against a physical defense.
Top Five Teams:
1. San Diego Chargers
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
3. Cincinnati Bengals
4. Pittsburgh Steelers
5. Chicago Bears
Bottom Five:
28. Houston Texans
29. Cleveland Browns
30. Green Bay Packers
31. Tennessee Titans
32. Oakland Raiders

"last legitimate NFL QB to wear a Bears uniform."
No more hatin' on Kordell Stewart, Jim Miller, Craig Krenzel, and Steve Walsh.
Did anyone else sense during last night's game that Joe Theisman has a huge man crush on Dwyane Wade?
After Wade talked briefly about his football days in highschool...
Theisman, gushing: "Oooooh, I would LOVE to have you on my team."
What?
Speaking of MNF, Kornheiser is just brutal as an announcer. I love him on PTI, but his act just doesn't translate to calling a football game. You know there's a problem when Joe Thiesmann sounds like the intelligent guy in the booth.
Couple things:
1. Yeah, as much as I love Kornheiser, he's not great on MNF. It's tough to just rip on people mercilessly in the way that his style of humor is when he's at his best during a game. And he and Theismann just don't get along and it's more awkward than it is entertaining.
2. Did anyone else see the alternate MNF crew last week? It was Brad Nessler, Dick Vermeil and Ron Jaworski, and it was fucking awesome. Two people who know the game really, really well and a play-by-play man who's smart and secure enough to let the experts analyze the game (ahem, Joe Buck).
Ahem, Mike Patrick.
Also, I don't think Tony K is too bad myself. Obviously, he's still getting used to it, but I think he knows his place and doesn't overbear the broadcast like Dennis Miller did.
For the record, "The Beck" was 12-4 this week, bringing the season record to 24-7. I don't think Dr. Z actually made picks this week, so he still stands at 5-4.
Geez, I think back in YCS's infancy, I tore Dr. Z a new one. Dr. Z makes the Swami look like a professional gambler.
Haha, is Vinnie the official tabs-keepsman on my predictions?
Also, I wish I'd done a little better than 12-fucking 4 because it cost me money in my office pool. Bastards.
