I don't know why every sports outlet was calling the Ravens victory an upset. Ok the Steelers were 3-0 and the Ravens were 2-1. Baltimore had its full complement of players, minus an semi-injured, but active Ray Rice. The Steelers had Charlie Batch at QB. Nothing against Charlie, he did an admirable job, but come on. How can a Ravens team, projected before the season by many to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, be considered underdogs to a team quarterbacked by Charlie Batch. Even Vegas didn't consider the Steelers favorites. They were only giving 1.5 points to the Ravens. Typically a home team, which the Steelers were, are awarded 3 points for just being at home.
Is it me or is Phil Simms the smartest man on Earth? He knows everything, especially after it has already happened.
Looks like Ike Taylor will be wearing pink gloves for the rest of the season. They are the only color that he can actually catch a ball in.
Ray Lewis was exceptionally quiet, except for that pick at the end of the game. Must have been too tired from all that praying and thanking God he isn't sharing a cell with Rae Carruth.
Michael Oher's movie The Blind Side should have been named The Offside. He moved early every play, but never was called. Speaking of the movie, I just watched it today on HBO, and it was not too bad. I'm normally not a fan of Disney remaking sports movies, but this one was decent.
Is anyone happier than Mike Wallace that Ben is coming back? How many times has he been underthrown in the first 4 games? Atleast twice yesterday Charlie couldn't get it far enough for the speed of Wallace.
Jeff Reed, way to earn that raise you are seeking. Granted those were tough kicks into the open end of Heinz, but wasn't your argument during negotiations that you were a clutch kicker at Heinz. Hmmmm
Terrell Suggs should be getting a call soon from ProActive to be their next endorsement.
As I keep saying, GIVE WOODLEY HIS MONEY
Some other sports-related things:
Nice to see LT and TO revert to their old forms. In one of my fantasy leagues, I started them both this week. Needless to say I crushed.
Happy to see Tiger do well. Unlike another staffer, I do support Tiger. When he's on it makes golf so much better to watch. 7-under in a 7 hole stretch is pretty good. I don't care how people perceive Tiger in the Ryder Cup, he is no where near as bad as Phil. Because Phil is so "lovable" he gets a pass for his atrocious play in team competition.
As for the Ryder Cup, Pavin was a horrible captain. His team looked so unmotivated, with no sense of direction, compatibility, or enjoyment. Did they really look like they were rooting for each other? Didn't look that way to me. It's becoming embarrassing how Americans are being dressed in world competitions. The Ryder Cup is notoriously bad, but so are the Olympics. We look like clowns.
It's bittersweet that Billy Guerin got cut by the Flyers. It's awesome that I won't have to root against the guy, he's a great guy that brought a lot to the Pens in his 1.5 years here. I thank him for all of his contributions. However, being cut might signify the end of one of the greatest careers by any American hockey player.
So happy that Stevie was back in last night's episode of Eastbound and Down. He's my favorite episode. Opening the show with him having sex with a black hooker was hilarious. His love and admiration for Kenny is so funny. This season is off to a good start.
Boise's chances for a BCS are pretty much gonzo. Atleast they bumped them early enough that there won't be any discussion and/or controversy later in the year.
That has to be a tough pill for Philly to swallow, losing their "savior" Vick, and watching McNabb come into town and beat them. HAHAHAHAHA. Maybe Andy Reid's son has another QB not named Kevin Kolb concealed in his ass. Google Andy Reid's son if you don't get that reference.
Pirates fired John Russell. Completely undeserved. He was a good manager, very personable, and got the best out of his players. He didn't do that bad. He only lost 299 games in 3 seasons.
I'd like to thank the Bears O-line for getting my QB Cutler killed. I haven't seen someone take that many hits since the last time I bummed a ride from Chris Brown and Rhianna.
The Challenge: Cutthroat starts next week. Possible C.T. sighting.
Enjoy the clip of the week and an awesome Sidney Crosby video.
