[Lew Crippen]

Among others, there was Roger Staubach who had a semi-successful career with the Cowboys.

Who are these Cowboys you speak of Lew? I have never heard of them or noticed them on Sportscenter befoer...

Just what the Raiders needed...Gallery out 2-3 weeks. Watch out Aaron Brooks. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2588993

 

[Trey Fletcher]

I can't believe that Gallery is being replaced by a guy with the last name of Slaughter.

Rest in peace, Aaron Brooks.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Bah, new this yesterday. Yeah, Aaron Brooks is going to die, but I'll say this much for Chad Slaughter. One of his strengths was actually one of the listed Weaknesses on Gallery's scouting report, Slaughter is a big guy with a long reach. He shut down Michael Strahan in the season finale last year pretty well.

I'm kind of surprised that Sims isn't moving back to left tackle.

Cripes, I wish Michael Irvin would STFU!

Here's hoping the Lions avoid total embarrassment today. They exceeded my expectations last week, which only goes to show what the trauma of the past 38 years has wrought on me.

 

[Arthur S]

Giants 1-1
Eagles 1-1

Eagles in the Wishbowl.

The Raiders D is playing a game to be proud of.

The offense is beyond terrible.

Steve McNaire has looked the worst I can remember seeing him, but the Raiders offense is horrible.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

Didn't happen. The game was over before halftime. The boo birds will be out in force next week at home vs. the Packers. That game should be banned from TV by the censors.

 

[Brandon_T]

The Lions are truly horrible as well. I honestly think that U of M could give them a run for their money.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

At least Detroit has scored a touchdown, Oakland and the Buccaneers have not.

 

[ThomasC]

Perhaps we'll be hearing "FIRE MILLEN" *stomp*-*stomp* *clap*-*clap*-*clap*?

Or is it too early in the season?

 

[Brandon_T]

It's never to early for that!

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Nice way to edit your original post.

Counting some victories before they were secure by chance?

 

[Rommel_L]

I believe the Lions fans have never stopped doing it for the past 2 years...

GO BEARS!!!

Eli Manning proved to me today that I can't bench him on my fantasy team. 3td's and 370 yards is a stellar performance. That was a huge choke job by the Eagles.

Meanwhile the Panthers are fumbling out of the gate to another loss. They are now 0-2. This is a team that many predicted would be in the Superbowl.

Tampay Bay is doing the same going out 0-2 and not scoring any points.

Meanwhile Baltimore is 2-0 and looking good. McNair had an off game but his team looks to be a winner this year.

 

[Chuck Mayer]

Big gut check game by the G-Men. After two divisional games, the Falcons look quite strong, 2-0 overall, 2-0 vs. the South. The Saints manage a win against a game Packer team (dropping two straight at home). That makes the Saints 2-0 headed to the Superdome against the Falcons.

The Bears look awesome, but have only played the dregs of the NFC North. And the Vikes looked game as well, winning one they maybe shouldn't have.

And I thought Larry Johnson was going to run for 2000 yards easily Guess Willie Roaf actually mattered. Oh wait, he did I am happy I told my wife to bypass Alexander and LJ with her first FF draft pick. She took LT. Wise choice so far.

Oh, and my Titans look dreadful. Top 2 draft pick next year...easy. Vince Young looks absolutely abysmal, but so does Collins. At least we dumped McNair
