NFL Roundup: Strange Thoughts In East Rutherford
News And Notes From Week 10 in the NFL....
NFC Supremacy Is Sort Of On the Line
There's a switch on Rex Grossman's back that goes from "Spectacular" to "Scott Mitchell," and it's not a dimmer switch. It's one or the other. So far this season, he's been Christ-like, or he's been Train Wreck Rex....
NFL Week Ten, Update #4
• The Raiders, and I probably shouldn't be so disappointed about this, couldn't seal the deal against the Broncos. No interceptions from Andrew Walter (weird) and 3 interceptions from Jake Plummer (not weird), and the Broncos are your winners. There were 109 total rushing yards... combined. Even the...
NFL Week Ten, Update #3
• Andrew Walter has so far completed more passes than he hasn't. And none of them were to Broncos or anything... no joke. He's 10-of-17 for 100 yards with no interceptions, and the Raiders are actually leading the Broncos. Of course, Jake Plummer sometimes makes that possible, all by himself. He's t...
NFL Week Ten, Update #2
• Seems like a lot of these games still have a way to go before being over. The Eagles/Redskins game is one of them, but in a manner of speaking, it's been over for quite some time. It's kind of a statement game for the Eagles and those who had written them off. Statement game for the Redskins, too,...
NFL Week Ten, Update #1
• The Titans are beating the hell out of the Ravens because they're racist. Travis Henry has displayed tremendous vision through his Klan hood, running for 78 yards and a touchdown. Vince Young has a rushing touchdown, Drew Bennett has 74 yards receiving, and the Ravens have been unable to run the b...
NFL Week 10 Preview: Cincinnati Police Force To Get Some Valuable Overtime
San Diego @ Cincinnati. You know, a lot of people like to look at this as a contest between two criminal-infested teams, but I don't think that's fair. At least, I think the Chargers have had cooler crimes. Steve Foley was shot by an idiot cop, Terrence Kiel was aiding in the production of the pur...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: One Loss, My Ass
Kansas State 45, (4) Texas 42. No Colt McCoy, no win, no chance for a national title. That'll ruin your weekend. McCoy was knocked out of the game early, and freshman Jevan Snead, while he wasn't terrible, wasn't good enough to keep up with a career performance from Kansas State quarterback Josh F...
Let's See If Another National Title Contender Bites It
Do you realize that tonight on ABC, you'll either be getting a game that features Wake Forest, or a game that features Kansas State? That's indicative of the crazy kind of college football season we've had, and also that someone at ABC, somewhere along the way, made a pretty poor decision. I'm not s...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
With the afternoon of college football winding down, South Carolina and Florida are about to come down to the wire. I have no real rooting interest, and I sort of hate Steve Spurrier... but it would be sort of awesome to see at least a couple of those one-loss "but we deserve the BCS championship ...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
I think the best part of living in Big Ten country is that you are always assured a game with Indiana, Illinois or Northwestern. Oh, did I say best thing? I meant I want to pick my eye out with a grapefruit spoon. - Victoria Times...
Let's Revisit That Rose Bowl, USC
Yahoo! Sports, seemingly dedicated to the sole pursuit of torturing the University of Southern California, has done some digging about the instant replay booth in last year's national championship game. They've discovered that it was an incorrectly hooked-up replay monitor that prevented the prope...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
Glad to see Auburn is taking advantage of the loss by Louisville by being taken behind the hedges at Georgia, not too mention the side judge just pulled his hamstring. - EPS...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
I slept late. What's the news on Corso's wang today? - Tuffy Rhodes...
Own Pac-Man's Car!
As anyone who has dealt with the difficult nature of car salesmen, you sometimes just don't know whom to trust. Fortunately, there's one place you know you can find a good deal on all your automobile needs: Buying cars that were once owned by troubled NFL players and have now been repossessed and ...

The View From Inside Rutgers Stadium
As we continue to sift through the empty cans next to the Vince Lombardi Memorial Rest Stop off the New Jersey Turnpike, we again salute the Rutgers Scarlet Knights for their historic and jaw-dropping 28-25 win over Louisville last evening. The video above — amazingly, posted within two hours after ...
Time To Go Nuts In Jersey
Every school, theoretically speaking, should have that moment when everything is perfect and right, one of those nights where all students begin a four-day orgy of drinking, unbridled celebration and Italian sandwiches. Tonight is that night for Rutgers, which is now one of the four undefeated teams...
Louisville. Rutgers. For ALL THE MARBLES.
We are truly living in a blessed age when the most important college football game of the week, one of the most important of the season, not only involves Louisville, not only is being played on a Thursday night ... but actually is being hosted by Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights, before tonight, have n...
The Legend Of Ned Grows
What makes a hero? Is a man born to be remembered through the ages, or is greatness thrust upon him whether he desires it or not? History may little note nor long remember the fight between Florida International and the University of Miami. But we shall never forget the valiant sacrifices of Ned, ...
