Mortality

The Patriots are mortal and would be 0-2 in their divison if Buffalo could have held on.

2.5 things I think I think

My shameless thievery from Danny's shameless thievery: & on the subject of thievery, I

1. concur with the distinguished gentleman representing the large video screen that when Kyle and the Brandon's take their North American tour, they are very likely to get abused. I suppose it's better to be lucky than good, because MAKE NO MISTAKE THAT's EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED ON SUNDAY.

2. really do think that the Terrible Towels will become the moist towelettes by week 17, due in no small part to their non-existent running game and the high likelihood of Big Ben getting hurt behind that line.

2.5 think that New England's systematic shedding of All-Pro's will catch up to them.

Another 5 Things...

1. Cincinnati is officially the unluckiest team in the NFL.
2. Brandon Stokely should buy a lottery ticket.
3. Jay Cutler really gets worked up, doesn't he?
4. Tony Gonzalez still has it.
5. Can Pittsburgh really have another successful season with no running game?

Bonus:
6. I can't believe this, but these are the official stats from week 1 (who would have thought):
Kyle Orton's QB Rating: 100.7
Jay Cutler's QB Rating: 43.2

I guess even Cutler knew that the team wearing green had the best receivers.

5 Fantasy Things I Think I Think...

1. For this week, anyway, anyone making fun of Stacy for drafting Drew Brees has to step back...

2. AP is the man... enough said.

3. Is this really the year that Santonio Holmes can overcome the Curse?

4. Speaking of which, now that Palomalau's down, Fitzgerald owners are holding their breath... the Madden Curse- oh, it's true....

5. At least Brett Farve has the self-awareness to poke fun at himself-- everyone see the new Sears commercial?

And a bonus that just came to me...

6. As long as Jake Delhomme is the QB of the Panthers, I made a huge mistake drafting Steve Smith....

Over/Under

Ok, so I've not been to the league board since the Steelers-Titans began,... so, for a little fun...

1) How many moves will Ric make in Week 1?

and, for a tiebreaker,

2) How many will he have made by the end of tonight's game?

So Danny...defend your 'Boys

I know my owner lost it a long time ago, but...

How do you guys in the big D explain spending a BILLION dollars building a football stadium that isn't suitable for playing football?

I think having a big screen TV 4920 times the size of a 52" is impressive, but seriously, 90 feet above the field? C'mon man.

Vick signs with Eagles...

...31 other cities give huge sigh of relief.
