The Saints moved to 4-0, and are looking more and more like the NFC favorite after beating the Jets 24-10 in NOLA. Dirty Sanchez was picked three times and fumbled once.
“My mistakes killed us. They absolutely killed us,” Sanchez said. “The defense played well enough to win. That whole game is 10-10 without three interceptions and a fumble. You turn the ball over like that in this league, and you can’t win.”
In related news, the team that scores the most points, usually wins the game.
Tom Brady continued to look human as the Patriots defeated the Ravens at the Razor 27-21. Mark Clayton was clearly on the take, as he dropped a fourth down pass with under a minute left which would have given the Ravens at least two cracks at winning the game with a touchdown.
Amid a storm of yellow penalty flags, Ravens’ coach John Harbaugh picked up an unsportsmanlike conduct after making it clear to the Line Judge that the previous penalty “was a bull shit call”.
Ben Roethlisberger opened up a 28 point lead over the Chargers at Ketchup Field. The Chargers forged a comeback, but fell a mere 10 points short and lost 38-28.
The Steelers snapped a two game losing streak in their quest to become yet another team to win the Super Bowl and fail to make the playoffs (playoffs?) the following season.
The G men moved to 4-0 after defeating Kansas City’s best imposture of an NFL team. The highlight of the game was seeing Eli Manning leave the game with a bruised heel caused dropping back to pass. So basically he hurt his heel jogging. So maybe it’s time to give him the nickname “nails”, as in “tough as nails”, just like you’d call a fat guy “slim”.
The Titans, continued their dominance of sucking. T.O. had three catches in helping his team lose to the 0-3 Fins in a battle for the cellar of the AFC East. The only Redskins player that anyone knows by name led them to victory over the Bucs. The Raiders dropped to 1-3 in hoping to improve the Patriots’ draft, San Fran blanked the Rams, and Da Bears killed Detroit’s shot at experiencing a winning streak.
Oh, and the Cowgirls helped the Broncos move to 4-0 after Tony Romo couldn’t put the finishing touches on a last minute drive that included a 53 yard pass to Sam Hurd.
But honestly who cares about any of yesterday’s games? Tonight Brett Favre plays against the Green Bay Packers. It’s an amazing back story involving a gunslinger that was run out of town, retired, came back to town, retired, found a new team, retired, found a new team, and now is playing against his original team that was actually his second NFL team. I’m almost moved to tears just thinking about how far Brett Favre has come since fetching water for the Falcons offensive line.
