Football 2008

Dolphins Loss does Jets a Favre, we mean, Favor
Was it the skill of New York Jets head coach Eric Man-genius, or the improvisation of #4 himself? Nevertheless, Brett Favre began his J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS career with a 20-14 win over the Miami Dolphins. Poor Chad Pennington, can’t catch a break. You know that the both of us are excited about the Jets win (NOT). By the way, did you know that if you Google the phrase “I Hate Brett Favre,” you get over 220,000 results?! Seriously, try it!

Apparently, the GB faithful don’t miss Brett too much. One game into the new season, and they’ve already forgotten how to spell his name.

Matt Cassel: Always a Bridesmaid…
Tom Brady ended his season rather abruptly, tearing his ACL in the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. (That’s great, but who are the Chefs?) Matt Cassel, perennial back-up quarterback, will now finish out the season as the starting QB for the New England Patriots. Cassel, who hasn’t started a game since HIGH SCHOOL, will actually have to play for a change. Even his impressive stat page is focused on his high school accomplishments, including playing for the Little League World Series. Could Tom Brady be the new Drew Bledsoe, and could Matt Cassel be the new Tom Brady? Supermodels are keeping a close watch on him….

Matt may be the ultimate back-up, but when it comes to Backstreet Boys karaoke, as this YouTube clip clearly shows, he is KING. How did we not see this earlier?!?!



Possible Methods for Reviving the “Deadskins”
• Keeping the same style offense for more than two years (heaven forbid)
• Getting a new owner (any schemes on how to raise $500 million??)
• CPR
• Defibrulator
• Cosmetic Surgery
• Having Les Grossman at the helm
• These “Horny for Zorny” T-Shirts (yes, we’re ‘Skins fans but um…HELLZ NO)


Baseball? What’s that?

It’s almost the post-season. Then we’ll care about baseball!


Where they belong…After having the week off, USC still remains the #1-ranked team in college football. Really, it can’t be any other way. They’ll be challenged this week by a gimpy Chris "Beanie" Wells and Ohio State. Let’s hope Mark Sanchez and the Trojans keep their opening day form against the Buckeyes. Fight On!
