Why the Guy who Snaps the Ball is so Important
Just like the Giants, Fenella’s undefeated season went kaput Monday night in Week 6, and then continued in week 7 with another loss (not necessarily at the hand of the G-men). Fortunately, the Giants redeemed themselves in week 8 with an exciting win at the slippery hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers and James Harrison (and Fenella regained her winning ways.)

NFC East Implodes on Self
Alas, it WAS too good to be true. The Redskins lost to the lowly St. Louis Rams in the final seconds, 19-17 in week 6. The Rams. AT HOME. THE RAMS! Either they were looking past them (and the Browns and Lions) for their next division foe or they’re not as good as we thought. Judging from the snoozefest/heartstopper (depending how you want to look at it) against the Browns and Lions, maybe it’s the latter. It’s like our offensive skill level is going backwards! Hopefully they’ll get their mojo back for the big MNF game against the Pittsburghers. At least the other NFC teams are losing too.

Speaking of, looks like bad times have fallen on America’s Team. Tony Romo broke his pinkie and is out for a month, Felix Jones tore his hamstring and is out for at least a month, and Adam “Pacman” Jones was suspended for at least a month for getting in a scuffle with his bodyguard. Hey, do you think his teammates will dismiss the whole incident and say, “That’s just Pacman being Pacman” like the Giants said about Plax and the BoSox said about Manny? That seems to be an acceptable excuse for athletes gone bad these days. What does that even mean?

Why Football Players take Ballet Lessons
So if you haven’t been keeping up with Dancing With the Stars, who knew a man as, uhhhh, pleasingly plump as Warren Sapp could be so light on his feet? Looks like he’s keeping the tradition that if you can play football, you sure as hell can ballroom dance!

World Series? More like Mini-Series!
Ahh, the Boston Red Sox. They should steal TNT’s motto “We Know Drama” for themselves. Seriously, how many times can they come back from the dead in an ALCS? Unfortunately (fortunately for you BoSox haters), the bats of the young upstart Tampa Bay Rays were just too much for them to handle. Just as well. We like the underdogs…and though it may not be the ratings extravaganza as a Dodgers/Manny – Red Sox World Series, we’re happy for the Phillies and the Rays! While we like the Rays as a team, but wethinks we might be rooting for the Phillies because they’re fans deserve it a little bit more. Rays fans discovered baseball about 3 weeks ago, Phillies fans have been waiting for almost 30 years! And it looks like the Phillies might be closer to a championship to than the Fish Fish Fish Fishy Fish Fish Fish. Unless the rain has its way.
