Quick football notes

Great win by the Giants over Philadelphia. David Tyree (GO SYRACUSE!!!) is a special teams ace! Maybe once football is over, he could sign with the New York Rangers and play the point on their power play! Linebackers Nick Greisen and Antonio Pierce were downright beasts on defense. Good clutch throws by Eli Manning. His pump fake before hitting Plaxico for the clinching TD pass was great. The only complaints I really had were the play of CB Curtis DeLoatch (who absolutely stinks) and Tom Coughlin choosing to run Brandon Jacobs up the middle three times from the 1-yard line and not getting in. At least, Coughlin went for it on 4th down and passed it. My big fear with the Giants is their pass defense, particularly the cornerbacks. This week, Seattle on the road. That's going to be a tough one. I can't realistically exepect a win.

The Jets offense has turned the ball over 9 times in their last 13 possessions. How is that possible? And they've been outscored in their last 2 games 57-3. AND in six games on the road, they've been outscored 151-44! Let's just think about the draft for them. Not the NFL draft. How about all the draft beers Jet fans are probably drinking to numb the pain right now. They should absolutely finish 2-14. And that's the best thing that could happen. With the first pick in the 2006 NFL draft, the New York Jets select... Reggie Bush out of USC, I pray. It's like I've said every time the Jets are supposed to be big, they tank. But right now, the way they are playing, they don't give a damn.

Will anyone watch the Jets-Saints next week? If I were in charge of ESPN programming, I'd put on the World Curling championships. At least there would be some suspense there!

The Bears are legit. Plain and simple. A Super Bowl team? That remains to be seen.

I am very impressed and very proud of you that you were invited to HM's Christmas Party. That is excellent to be invited after being there only 2 weeks. That meanbs they really like you. Maybe you could get real lucky, and work there again, possibly even full time; maybe you can talk to someone about that possibility. Bye for now...
