10 THINGS...

1. The Hurricanes won their Touch Football Division Championship on Saturday with a come from behind 36-34 victory. The Canes went 13-0! Unstoppable...

2. Things that make you say ‘Hmmmm…’: Chris Chambers’ first 6 games with the Chargers netted 9 catches, 122 yards, 1 TD. His first 3 games with the Chiefs have netted 10 catches, 249 yards, 3 TDs. Guess he really didn’t want to play for San Diego eh?


3. If the Cowboys cannot muster up enough offence to beat the Raiders on Thanksgiving, you might as well call the season a wrap. Why? Check out the remaining opponents: Chargers, Giants, Saints, Redskins, and Eagles. Yeah…better beat the Raiders.

4. Tony NFL: I think things are getting really interesting in this league. We thought Johnny’s Groupies had things all wrapped up but GooseNick wants to have the last word. With only 62 points separating them, the final 6 weeks is going to be critical. Looks like it’s a 2-team race to the finish.


5. D&G League: I think ABT had the week he needed to stay in the hunt (imagine if he’d started Jamaal Charles). But at what cost? He may have lost yet another RB to injury.

6. D&G League Week 11 Kung Fu! Performances:
· Brett Favre 213 yds, 4 PaTDs
· Ben Roethlisberger 398 yds, 3 PaTDs
· Terrell Owens 197 yds, 98 yd ReTD
· Brady Quinn* 304 yds, 4 PaTDs
· Matt Stafford** 422 PaYds, 5 PaTDs
· Calvin Johnson 161 Yds, 75 yd ReTD
· Patriots D, 226 yds, DTD, 4 ints, 2 Sacks
· Wes Welker 15 recpts, 192 yds
· Ricky Williams 119 yds, 2 RuTDs, 1 ReTD
· Eli Manning 384 yds, 3 PaTDs

7. Not only has Obsessions wrapped up the D&G Championship already, I think this may be the most dominant performance in D&G history. This guy drafted from the 11th spot! Check out his draft place to performance ratio (draft position/points earned) for his 1st 8 picks:
· #11 Aaron Rodgers/ 248
· #14 Chris Johnson/ 209
· #35 Joseph Addai/ 103
· #38 Reggie Bush/ 65
· #59 TJ Housh/ 72
· #62 Cedric Benson/ 77
· #83 Jerricho Cotchery/ 67
· #86 LeSean McCoy/ 79
· Waiver Wire noteable: Mike Sims-Walker/ 94

Those players alone have generated 1000 of his 1600 points. He drafted well, and managed his starts better than anybody else this year- and had the mouth to back it up (isn’t it normally the other way around?). I hate him.

8. I think the D&G Playoff Pool is going to be really really good this year. #1 Mission for everybody? Crush Obsessions.

9. If the Patriots can run the ball on Monday night, they’ll beat the Saints. If not, it’ll be Drew Brees’ ascension ceremony.


10. I love the Troy Polamalu Head & Shoulders commercials. Best out there right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGFVnFoNnt4 . The radio versions are even better. “Here with us today is Hair Polamalu. Tell us about Pittsburgh’s hair-4 defense”. Hilarious!

10 THINGS....

1. If the season were to end here, Chris Johnson would be my #1 pick in the draft next year. He is the #1 back on the most run-heavy offense, anchored by the best O-line in the league. Besides that HE'S AN ANIMAL! Brees, Jones-Drew, Peterson, Turner all play 2nd fiddle to this guy. There. I said it. Sue me.



2. Coaches that need to be fired before you finish reading this sentence: Dick Jauron, and Eric Mangini. Coaches that can wait until the end of the season: Tom Cable and Jim Zorn. Coaches that need to be hired next season: Cowher, Holmgren, and Shannahan. Heck why not bring back Marty Schottenheimer? We need parity in this league.



3. Just when the Cowboys thought it was safe to go back in the water- BAM! Shark attack? Not quite. A ravenous Packers D combined with the sin of overconfidence.

4. Randy Moss is a MANANIMAL! Who else can do this with regularity? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec4BnHDu22A

5. The Eagles went to the well one too many times and I'd be suprised if Westbrook returned this year. He could be done folks. I mean broadcast booth done. Is anybody besides me questioning whether the Eagles have been putting Brian Westbrook's health first? He's been injured way too many times.

6. D&G League: I think it's time to face facts- Obsessions has wrapped up the D&G title with yet another 160 pt week. The rest of us are playing for 2nd place- you know it and I know it (curse the heckler). The interesting by-line here will be if Patroose can stay in the money. Doubt it.

7. TONYNFL: I think things have gotten a little more interesting with the leaders coming down to the rest of the pack. But the top 3 may be too well stocked for anyone to make a serious run against them. Anyone besides me wondering if there is some collusion going on there? A little too buddy buddy for my liking. Yeah I said it! What?!

8. I think everyone needs to get off Belichick's case. I might not have gone for it myself but c'mon...I'm conservative and he's got Brady, Moss, Welker and Watson on that team. You telling me he shouldn't have had faith they could get 2 yards? Get out of here!

**I went down to Philly last weekend to catch the Cowboys Eagles Sunday Night game. A few observations:

9. I think it was interesting that my name (Warren), usually considered rare, was one of the most recognizable (along with David) to the inspector when we were crossing the border: “Mauro, Massimo, Giuseppe, Tonino- what kind of names are these?” Hilarious! Guess those guys don't get out much.

10. How a group of Italians and one Jamaican spent their money wisely:

• RV Parking for the weekend $0
• Extension Cord $50 (had to be top of the line)
• 11 Full Racks of ribs $150 (approx.)
• Tickets to the game $270 (each)
• Cab Ride around Philly $275
• Cowboys beating the Eagles in enemy territory: Priceless

10 THINGS...

1. I think Brett Favre outright owns the Packers. They fear him. He should just buy the team and get it over with.

2. I think Chris Johnson is a mananimal. Is it possible this guy supplants AP as the number one fantasy draft pick next year? Think I’m crazy? Right now he’s making the argument right alongside MJD.

3. I think that those who passed over MJD for Matt Forte in their fantasy draft may have slightly miscalculated:
-MJD- 640 RuYds, 116 carries, 5.5 avg., 10 TDs, 27 Rec, 161 ReYds
-Forte- 408 RuYds, 118 carries, 3.5 avg. 3 TDs, 24 Rec, 185 ReYds

4. I think Ted Gin Jr. saw his life flash before his eyes when he was disciplined by Bill Parcells. I think he responded in a big way.


5. I don’t think anyone knows what is going on with the New York Giants. I don’t think that anyone in Dallas, Philadelphia, or Washington cares.

6. I think this was a funny comment made on a Buffalo Sports station in reaction to Ryan Moats’ 126 RuYd, 3 TD day:
“I have no idea why anyone tries to run on the Bills. Everyone knows you can’t run on the Bills. Watching teams try and do it is like high comedy!”

7. I think that San Diego has to take a lot of responsibility for keeping Chris Chambers on their roster for as long as they did; AND for paying him that kind of money ($4.55M this year alone). In my opinion, the Chargers have no rights to the money they will save for releasing him now. It should be distributed to organizations that will feed starving children around the world (and the Chargers cannot claim it as a charitable donation). Pricks.

8. I think that in the D&G, with 9 weeks remaining, Cologne Boy may have an insurmountable lead. The Cos may want to pick up the latest edition of New and Resale Homes magazine.

9. I think in 2009 PARITY has been replaced by MEDIOCRITY in the NFL. Nineteen teams have a record of 4-3 or worse.

10. Well now that Vince Young is at the helm, I think the Titans win all of their remaining games and go on to represent the AFC in the SuperBowl where they’ll spank the life out of the Saints 41-14. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I’m so funny.
