The Giants downward spira
l now ties the Cincinnati Bengals as my favorite 2009 NFL storyline.
The train wreck known as the Dallas Cowboys 2008, 2009 (and perhaps 2010) seasons previously held the honor.
All this winning and overall Philadelphia sports-ness makes me uncomfortable. I’m pretty sure Dante was inspired by the city an its sports franchises when creating his inferno. It’s citizens? Fra Alberigo and Branca d’Oria.
Forgive me if the Eagles winning and Phillies playing in the World Series feels kinda wrong. Success, like all that is unfamiliar, makes me uneasy.
Miami Dolphins 30, New York Jets 25.
Beat me once, shame on you, beat me twice, I have your number.
I have no explanation for how the Jets managed to lose to the Dolphins, twice. But hey, why is the sky blue? Sometimes there are just mysteries in life, and I’m okay with that.
Chad Henne being a competent NFL quarterback? Now that’s just creepy.
Baltimore Ravens 30, Denver Broncos 7.
Although a Philadelphian born and bred, I have loved the Baltimore Ravens as my team since 2003.
I know I shouldn’t, when people decide to adopt a new team as their own (which is really the 8th deadly sin in and of itself), they do not, DO NOT pick the Baltimore Ravens.
Every time I admit this out loud and in public shame pulses through my body, but if loving the Ravens with blind and borderline psychotic passion only demonstrated by the truest of football fans is wrong – I don’t want to be right
I love the toughness, dirtiness, and sheer violence the Ravens defense is notorious for (although these qualities currently seem to be bleeding out of this aging unit like a) I love Joe Flacco for being the most boring, unassuming, underrated and under-recognized quarterback in the 2008 draft class, and possibly the league (and No, my being a UD alum has nothing to do with it). I love Ray Rice, Haloti Ngata, Michael Oher, and I even love that crazy little pregame dance Ray Lewis does…THERE I SAID IT.
I’m told admitting you have a problem is the first step….
If it's any consolation though, I still find purple camouflage to be unacceptable and a danger to society.
The Broncos were going to lose, and now freshly exposed, I believe they will continue to lose a few more. The Saints will lose and so will the Colts.
How exactly the Colts (the most boring undefeated team in the history of EVER) will suffer defeat remains a mystery to me. Probably have to ask Peyton Manning –my television tells me he knows everything, or Tony Dungy, as I am starting t believe that man really DOES know everything!!!
Although I only see 1 of the undefeated going down this week, the Falcons could very well crush the American dream known as the New Orleans Saints 2009 season, and it wouldn’t shock the shit out of me. I am holding a pilot light of optimism and hope for the black and gold, and trying not to be such a sarcastic and jaded sports blog cliché.
Minnesota Vikings 38, Green Bay Packers 26
My heart hurts for Aaron Rodgers, it really does.
Midwesterners simply can’t pull off the hostile, drunk, violent, and self-loathing fan base. A true angry mob throws batteries and boo’s Santa. Come on Wiscons-onians, slaughter a goat, stab someone in the parking lot…
Brett Favre live stream, courtesy of NFL.com = sign 999,999,999 of the apocalypse. I get this new era, I do. We live in a world where the League, ESPN, and other various powers that be can verbally fellate a player in public without arrest or even citation for public indecency.
But let me tell you, we are one more barnyard animal virus outbreak and On Air personality sex scandal away from a scene strait out of I Am Legend.
...Oh, and the Rams won, good for them! I prefer a season without an 0-16 team, no losers here! Even if your only win is over Detroit.
