Weak 6 Postdictions

I haven't been hanging around BRB much lately.  I left the open thread for last week's game somewhere around the third failed attempt to convert a Jags turnover into points.

The Texans loss to Jacksucksville really blew my mood all to hell.  I'm back now after several days in the fetal position in the basement.

Here's a post from my FoxSports.com blog.  It's a few days old.  Read it or don't, I don't give a shit.

Star-divide

The Texans looked good early, but ended up getting fooled, schooled and ruled by Jacksonville to the tune of 37-17.  This was a division game.  Speaking of divisions, the AFC South has to be the most competitive division in the NFL.  Houston is at the bottom with a 3-3 record.  That would be good enough for first place in the AFC West, and the AFC South is the only division that does not have a team with a record under.500.

Vinny Testaverde, he of the Geritol patch and AARP membership, quarterbacked the Carolina Panthers to a win against the Arizona Cardinals today.  I didn't see the game, but it must have been interesting to see the Panthers' offensive line keep their blocks without knocking over Testaverde's walker.

As I type this the Seahawks and Saints are playing on NBC's Football Night In America's Sunday Night Football.  Before the game, Seahawks fullback Mack Strong raised the figurative 12th man flag (a feature totally jacked from my Texas A&M Aggies, by the way) to cheers of the fans.  Strong has had to retire this week after a 15 (I think it's fifteen) year career.  Strong has been a fan favorite in Seattle his whole career.  One of the coolest things about Strong is his name.  Isn't "Mack Strong" the perfect name for a football player?  Or maybe a private eye?

The Coors Light commercials where they show goofs asking questions at a mock press conference that are answered by edited shots of former NFL coaches have been running all night on NBC.  At first they were kind of funny, now they just suck out loud.  I wish the MLB playoffs were on.

I would be remiss if I did not mention the Patriots dismantling of the Dallas Cowboys earlier today.  New England beat Dallas 48-27. I don't have anything of value to say, I just don't like being remiss.

Tony Gonzalez of the Kansas City Chiefs set the record today for most TD catches by a tight end in NFL history.  The CBS pre-game show gang, specifically Boomer Esiason and Dan Marino were joking with their cohort Shannon Sharpe about him possibly being sad because he held the record that Gonzalez broke.  I get sad every time I watch the CBS pre-game show, because Sharpe is so hard to understand.  He should look into English as a second language.

The Atlanta Falcons play the New York Giants on Monday Night Football tomorrow night.  I have nothing to say about that game, but I was planning on a trip to New York next year, but I would have to get the wicks on my tiki torches trimmed.  I cancelled my trip when I called New York and they told there wasn't a Tiki Barber anywhere in New York.
