NFL Monday

The Pittsburgh Stillers probably should have not started Big Ben Roethlisberger today. He had a terrible afternoon against the Oakland Raiders in a 20-13 loss, throwing two INT's that were returned for TD's. I just don't think that Ben has completely gotten over the injuries suffered from his... Sign in to see full entry.

I used to bet on football. A lot. Haven't done it in almost ten years. Got too expensive. I never lost my shirt or had the bookies after me to break my arms, but the money does add up after a while. So I quit. Cold turkey. More because I lost contact with my go between than anything. The best advice... Sign in to see full entry.

The New Orleans Saints are 5-1 after defeating the Philadelphia Iggles 27-24 at the Superdome today. They are in first place in the NFC South, one game ahead of the Carolina Panthers. To me, this is the best story in sports right now. A year after being uprooted from their home because of Hurricane... Sign in to see full entry.

That's one of my mother's favorite sayings. And anyone who reads my blog knows that I am a man that believes in karma.

I've heard many times the saying most NFL games are lost not won. Though I don't think that's totally true, the third week of the NFL season was definitley a case of teams trying their very best to lose and succeeding. Let's start with my Pittsburgh Stillers, 28-20 losers at home to the "Who Dey"... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's see... San Diego 40 Tennessee 7. At least Vince Young threw his first NFL TD pass.... Click. Chicago 34 Detroit 7. So much for Roy Williams and the Lions scoring 40....Click.

I am watching the fourth quarter of the "Manning Bowl", New York Giants vs. Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have just scored to go up 23-14. If the Giants would stop shooting themselves in the foot, they'd be alright. Well, today is the first day of the 87th season of professional football. And... Sign in to see full entry.

Alright gang, let's see how bad I did this year. Skip the first three paragraphs: Okay, the exhibition season is over. The 2006 NFL season officially starts Thursday night when the defending world champion Pittsburgh Stillers take on the Miami Dolphins at Heinz Field. So, I guess, I have to throw in...

I am sitting here watching the Cincinnati Bengals run out the first half clock against the Green Bay Packers. The score is 31-7 Bengals and they are about to kick a field goal with six seconds left. It's good. 34-7. I just turned on the game, had a referee's rules test tonight. Missed Bengal QB... Sign in to see full entry.
