Not my fault....

What is with the coaching roullette this year? I understand that a bad scheme can significantly hurt your team's chances of winning, but shouldn't more fingers be pointed at the people that handle the football? Ted Cottrell was the newest unemployment addition this week, because Norv Turner explained that "The week to week improvement hasn't been there". Tough luck, Ted. The trend is, if the pupil isn't achieving, fire the teacher. I wonder why the Titans never blamed their losing seasons on Jeff Fisher? Probably because it wasn't his fault. Now they are 7-0.....

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Week 7

After watching this week in football, I've realized that no team is dominating the league, which leaves every NFL fan on the edge of their seat every weekend. This is 100 times better than waiting to see who is going to lose to the Patriots every week. 

The Good - The Titans stayed undefeated, and the press conference with Lendale White and Chris Johnson was priceless. While Chris Johnson just sat there and smacked on his gum, Lendale laid it down and explained how they beat the shitty Chiefs. Also, the Texans won again, which makes any Sunday good unto itself. Also, the Chiefs found their franchise QB in Tyler Thigpen by default with the loss of Damon Huard and Brodie Croyle for the season. 

The Bad - Reggie Bush went down with a knee injury and will be out for 2-4 weeks, which is no doubt a bummer. Brett Favre could not move the ball at all, despite all the hype. The Broncos made me turn off Monday Night football in the 3rd Quarter because New England was mopping their faces with the turf. Jeremy Shockey and Kellen Winslow Jr. talked shit about both of their teams, and coincidentally they are both having uncomfortable groin problems. 

The Ugly - The Cowboys came out this week and looked like shit against the Rams. I usually watch the games on Sunday among many rowdy Cowboys fans, yet this past Sunday, they all seemed to be asleep by the time the game was over. The Colts lost to the Packers in Lambeau, and Peyton Manning couldn't complete more than 50% of his passes. Last but not least - The Bengals. Only winless team left (Besides the Lions) - 07' Dolphins?

What? Really? Yes....

On Sunday, which may have been the longest game I've ever seen, the Raiders beat the Jets with a 57 Yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski. Janikowski had tried field goals up to almost 70 yards and has missed 3 of them from 50 yards or more this season. As a huge Brett Favre fan, watching him fail to move the ball into scoring range 3 times in overtime alone hurt my soul. I grit my teeth and squinted my eyes when Janikowski prepared for his game winner, and unfortunatly he made it. 

After the win, Janikowski supposedly chugged a whole bottle of Vodka, made numerous racial slurs and punched a autograph seeker in the face. 

100% Cheese Free

Most of us call ourselves NFL fans, but the guy that had "Moss" on his chest, with multiple NFL tattoos, is the ultimate fan. Not only did he come to a Broncos - Patriots game, dressed as Beowolf, but he was drenched in purple and yellow, ready to represent Minnesota. The man's name is Syd Davy, from Winnipeg, and he made the trip to see his old friend Randy Moss. The game was a waste of my life, and in no way was amusing until Moss jumped into the arms of Davy after his second touchdown. The NFL needs more fans like 100% CheeseFree.

A New Tradition

I have recently (in the past couple of hours) started a new tradition. Since my fantasy team is sadly 2-5 now, I need to celebrate whenever I have the chance. The demise of Drew Brees and Ronnie Brown have brought joy to my life like none other that I have experienced since week 1. So I have decided that every week that I win, starting with this week, I will buy 2 40 oz. bottles of Arrogant Bastard Ale. It is 7.2% alcohol by volume and is quite enjoyable. It represents the "Arrogant Bastard" inside of me and helps me be optimistic about the upcoming football week. I will now recite the label that is located on the back of the bottle I am currently drinking.

Arrogant Bastard Ale: This is an aggressive beer. You probably won't like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste and sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest you stick to a safer and more familiar territory - maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at making you believe it's made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beer will give you more sex appeal. Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make a beer taste better. Perhaps you're mouthing the words as you read this.

Yes, It feels great to get a win, especially after a 5 week winless drought.

Start/Sit

On saturdays I will start my Start/Sit section of this blog. Don't you fuckin hate when other Blogs have a Start/Sit section and they say "Aaron Rodgers vs Indy....Start Him!". Like us Fantasy Footballers didn't already know that because if we do have him, he probably plays every week. I'm going to give you the most obscure players, maybe some you've never heard of, who will score you 10+ points this week. I will also give you the sure shot's that I'm gonna shoot down. 

Start - 

1. Johnnie Lee Higgins vs NYJ - He'll no doubt get more than 100 return yards, if that matters to anyone, but with all this WR controversy in Oakland, look for him to get 5 touches and maybe a TD

2. Ryan Grant vs IND - He hasn't looked all that great, and he has yet to get into the endzone, but last week he ran for 90 yards. Expect somewhere around 60 yards and a TD this week.

3. Sammy Morris vs DEN - Under most circumstances, I would never ever suggest a Patriots RB. It could be one of the worst fantasy running situation in football, but without Lamont Jordan and Lawrence Maroney, he could rack up some serious yards this week.

4. Kevin Walter vs DET - Schaub loves to throw to his white guys (Owen Daniels, Kevin Walter), but he just doesn't like to throw touchdowns to them. I'm gonna be bold and call TWO TDs for Walter.

5. Kolby Smith vs TEN - I know Tennessee has one of the scariest defenses in football, but I think that KC will switch it up this wek with Jamaal Charles and Kolby Smith. I think Smith will pull down 50 yards and a surprising TD. KC will still lose by 20.

Sit -

1. Ben Roethlisberger vs CIN - Cincinatti has stopped Tony Romo and Brett Favre respectably in the past two weeks. It look's tasty but it's poisonous!

2. Ronnie Brown vs BAL - Yes, Indianapolis wrecked the Baltimore defense last week, but it was pretty much all Chris McCallister's fault. Baltimore won't be fooled by that Wildcat shit, just like the Texans weren't (Eeek!). I just don't see him getting in the endzone this week.

3. Terrell Owens vs STL - Whether its Broken Pinkie Romo, or Old Man Johnson, I forsee alot of finger pointing and yelling on the sideline. 

4. Brandon Jacobs vs SF - I know hes like the scariest guy in football to tackle, but if not for that touchdown last week against a weak Cleveland defense, he looked like crap. I expect no touchdowns, and he will only crush 2 defensive players bones. 

5. Reggie Bush vs CAR - His knee is all swelled up, he's facing a stout Carolina defense and dammit he has to slow down sometime.

Brett Favre Can Cure Cancer

Is anyone troubled by the recent news that Brett Favre got Tony Romo on the phone and told him to suck it up and play this Sunday? Does that work with anyone? Can Brett Favre call anyone who is ailing and cure them by just mentioning his track record? It seems as if Tony Romo wants to play Sunday against the Rams, although he has a broken pinkie on his throwing hand. Maybe he should get Jon Kitna on the phone.
