Tuesday Morning Quarterback (wk. 11)
The race is on. That is the race to get the number one pick in next year's draft. The Texans appear to have a lock on it, though the Saints, Packers and Jets are looking like they're in the hunt.
Of the Jets, in their humiliating loss Sunday, QB Brooks Bollinger (Who?) took a whack to the head and sustained a concussion. The AP reported Bollinger was vomiting on the sideline. Fitting. Having spent $50 a ticket to see Brooks play, fans were nauseous in the stands too. They should bring the Tums Sunday. Word is Brooks will start again. Texans TE Mark Bruener said of his team's latest collapse: "It's like they (they Chiefs) had kryptonite or something!" Mark, that would mean that your team, the Texans, were Superman. No. How about this, "They showed up with a football team!" That's more accurate. And how about the Madden Curse? Eagles QB Donovan McNabb's season is over. He will have surgery next week on his sports hernia. This is the fourth player to have a disastrous season after appearing on the cover of John Madden's EASports video game. In 2003 Mike Vick appeared, and broke his leg, missing most of the season. In 2002 Marshall Faulk appeared, and was injured for 8 games. In 2001 Daunte Culpepper appeared, and suffered through his worst season statistically. Hmmm.
Cheers: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger who should be back this coming Sunday. Lord knows, the Steelers can't win without him. Bucs RB Cadillac Williams for his 119 yard effort Sunday back from injury. The Vikings for turning the corner after a disastrous start to the season. My Hero of the Week: Bears Coach Lovie Smith for what should be Coach of the Year worthy coaching this season in Chicago.
Jeers: T.O. and his battery of lawyers, injunction hearings and media circus. The ruling comes out today or tomorrow. Get ready for another week worth of T.O. coverage everywhere you look. Ravens DB Deion "Prime Time" Sanders. I've noticed Deion in 'prime time' the last two weeks, getting burned by rookie TE Matt Jones (Jaguars) for a TD two weeks ago and by rookie TE Heath Miller (Steelers) this past weekend. I guess Deion's wheels aren't turning as smoothly as they once did. Getting beat by TE's who aren't exactly known for cat-like quickness will get you in the highlight reel every time. My Goat of the Week: Rams P Bryan Barker for deciding to punt a football over the heads of Veterans being honored at halftime of the Rams game. Said Barker, "I had to loosen my leg up." He later apologized.
Check here Thursday morning for this week's locks and a couple more football surprises. And, if you're ready to come off the couch, come play in the 4th Annual Christ's Church Turkey Bowl Thanksgiving Morning.
