Week 2 NFL Thoughts

Article Presented by:

  • Is it just me, or is Chris Simms the poor man's Kyle Boller?

  • Will Miami average more pass completions than sacks allowed? I'm guessing Daunte Culpepper will get fairly used to sitting down. Either way, he's sooooooo getting cut from my fantasy team.

  • I'm convinced that Indy runs up the score on every team they play to instill fear in their opponents. Until they encounter a formidable team in the playoffs.

  • Two weeks into the Art Shell experiment, I'm still waiting for Ashton Kucher to jump out and tell me I've been Punk'd.

  • The only thing, I'm guessing, that Kutcher will be jumping out of is a window when he realizes just what appearing in a movie with Kevin Costner does to your career.

  • What is that sound? Did John Madden raid the buffet again? Oh, wait. That was just the Eagles choking.

  • Is Drew Brees really that good? Really?

  • Oakland devastated in consecutive games so they fall to 0-2? The only way this could get better is if Kate Beckinsdale were sitting on my lap feeding me dried figs right now.

  • I really hope there is a silver lining for Brett Favre. I know there won't be, but a guy like that deserves some relief from the season he's inevitably going to have.

  • A big thumbs up to Brad Childress for getting the Vikings off to a good start. It's a good thing, too. The only other thing he's qualified for is porn star - by virtue of his moustache.

  • I like the trend of Gary Kubiak trading for a has-been or never-was running back every week. I think the NFL should eliminate the trading deadline just so it can continue throughout the year.

  • Wherefore art thou, Joe Gibbs?

  • Two weeks and no T.O. outbursts? I feel so cheated. Maybe Drew Rosenhaus can stage saving another kid so we can finally get some excitement up in this joint.

  • So St. Louis beats the Broncos then lays an egg against, um, the 49ers? Same story, different day. The Rams just can't be consistent enough to compete - even in the NFC.

  • Don't get too comfortable, B-more. You have wins against Tampa Bay and Oakland. Your glory days are already behind you.

  • I already miss Dick Vermiel's tears.

  • Things are already setting up great for another Marty Schottenheimer meltdown. He owns the patent on that, right?

  • 9-6? Maybe the Donkeys and K.C. should be playing in the S.E.C.

  • I had Arizona as a sleeper team to open the year, and, yup, still sleeping.

  • Seriously, Ashton. Where are you hiding? Ashton?
