Is fully underway, with only two games to go and there were some surprising results. Did the Chicago Bears actually beat the Indianapolis Colts 29-13? Is Tom Brady out for the season, due to a possible season ending ACL injury to the knee? That’s ironic, since this was the first week Tom Brady was not on the injury list since 2004. You read that right. Shifty Belichick put Tom Brady on the weekly injury list every game from 2004 until this last week. Odd since Brady was slightly injured throughout the preseason. Anyway, when Belichick took Brady off the injury list (when he might actually have a slight injury), it resulted in, you guessed it, an injury. And, it might be bad. I can’t help but think of the word “comeupance” (is it actually a word) as bad as it may sound.
Atlanta didn’t play a stellar defense in Detroit, but how did the Falcons put up 34 points and WIN! Crazy. Matt Ryan’s first professional pass was a TD. Michael Turner (former San Diego LT backup) tore it up for the Falcons. And, it looks like the Atlanta Falcons might actually be able to beat the Georgia Bulldogs (I previously had my doubts). To think, Atlantans might have something to cheer for already. Crazy.
I’ll tell you, it was fun to see Brett Favre play, no matter what team he played for (The Jets). His first play action touchdown pass was sweet – and came on a Brett Faver audible. His second touchdown was like a hail mary “shot put.” Those last two words are courtesy of Brett Favre himself. And, the Jets beat the Dolphins 20-14.
I like football, I’m glad the season’s back and I look forward to the Vikings / Packers game tonight. (Sorry Denver / Oakland, I just don’t care about you. Although, McFadden might be something to see.)
