Great Sunday!!

Awesome Sunday of NFL football with an even better one on the horizon next week.

First of all, let me address Dick Enberg, CBS play-by-play voice for the Miami/KC game. He needs to be fired, yesterday. He doesn't know who is on the field, what down it is or the yards to gain.
How about calling the local Pop Warner game, Dick?

The Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals, both division leaders (Arizona has clinched a home playoff game!) are two of the biggest frauds this side of Bernard Madoff.

Denver's defensive effectiveness is on par with that of the Maginot Line in 1940.

Never in my humble few years of watching NFL have I seen a playoff-bound team look as uninterested as Arizona today in New England.

The Browns have zero offensive touchdowns over the last 5 games.
That's worth repeating, the Cleveland Browns have ZERO offensive touchdowns over the last 5 games.

Which former Patriot assistant is having more success?
Romeo Crennel in Cleveland or Charlie Weis at Notre Dame?

Charlie will be back in South Bend in '09
Romeo, 'where are thou Romeo?' Oh Romeo will not be in Cleveland in '09

Giants/Panthers Sunday night (NYG 34-28 winners in OT) perhaps the best game of the year to this point. From a neutral observer standpoint however, it was disappointing to see an officiating crew that called only 2 penalties in the game's first 55 minutes call 2 game-changing, shaky penalties in the game's final 5 minutes.

The first, a hand-fighting pass interference call in the endzone gave NY a first and goal at the Carolina 1. The second, a holding call on all-pro WR Steve Smith, negated a run that would have put the Panthers deep into Giant territory.
After the holding call that backed Carolina up, John Casey narrowly missed a 50 yard field goal with 4 seconds to go.

Without the penalty, the kick would have been much shorter.

Look for my Dolphins rant in the next few days!!!

Fight On!
