Lenny from Indy

Stop bitching.  The first string Colts played for 2 quarters and change, and only put up 15 points.  It’s not like they never saw the field.  They had time to play.

Would you rather change places with the fans of these teams?

1. St. Louis Rams – 60 more minutes and they have the first drat pick.

2. Washington Redskins – All the money spend on all of those players and  they sit at the bottom of the NFC East.

3. Chicago Bears – The interception riddled QB with no one to throw the ball to?

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The sharp decline this team has felt since 2002 is comical.

5. Buffalo Bills – Been a joke since the music  city miracle.

6. New York Giants – Just played themselves out of the playoffs.

7. Seattle  Seahawks – Mora Jr is the coach.  We’ve seen that movie here with Mora Senior.

8. Cleveland Browns – Nothing good comes from or out of Cleveland.

9. Oakland Raiders – Commitment to Excellence.  Just Win Baby. Buzz phrases + bad drafting = failure.

10. Detroit Lions – Fail. Abort. Restart. Repeating that cycle since 1997.

The Colts are first place in the AFC South, number 1 seed in the AFC, and the road to the Super Bowl comes through Indy.  Take a breath you spoiled brats.

Somebody has to win this game.

The Rams won.

The pathetic part of this game was when players scored they were smiling and celebrating like they had achieved something great.  Celebrating a score by any member of these two teams is like taking your cousin to the prom and telling people that you might get to second base tonight.

Both teams should feel shame.

Moving forward – Great draft picks for both teams.

Embarrassing.  Feel shame.  The whole lot of you.

I hope they gave her the chair.

Seriously, if you can’t handle the booze at a sporting event.  Don’t drink.  Better yet, listen on the radio.  We do not need your kind in the general population at a sporting event.

Another angle of this “woman’s” massive fail.

In what only be described as a miracle, the slowly decaying state of Michigan finally had a little slice of pro sports happiness.

Lions 19 – Redskins 14

It’s been 19 games since the Lions won a game.

If you say prayers, please say a prayer for Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn today.  Today cannot be a good day for him.

We observed week 2 of the NFL season.  Here’s the valuable lessons learned.

The Jets beat the Patriots.  I’m not making that up.  It’s the first time in 8 years that the Jets beat the Patriots at home (well the Jets play in Giants Stadium… I guess its home… I dunno).  The city of New York celebrated the epic win by bathing the top of the Empire State building with a green colored light.  We knew that Rex Ryan had a plan.  We talked about this earlier in the week.  Check out what I said about Rex Ryan.

The Patriots are no longer one of the Elite teams in the NFL.  America is happy, very happy.

Bears beat the Steelers in Soldier Field.  Parts of Chicago feel happiness.  The rest of the city wishes the Cubs were still in the playoff hunt.  Steelers kicker Jeff Reed looked sick on the sidelines as he watched Bear kicker Robbie Gould kick the winning field goal.  Jeff missed two kicks today.  The good people of Pittsburgh would like a shot at kicking him today.

Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons will reign supreme in Atlanta for a long time.  “Matty Ice” as he has been nicknamed by teammates, has a unique skill set that will be able to take Atlanta far into the playoffs this year and for many years to come.  Can they bring back the “Dirty Bird” when they score touchdowns?  That ruled back in the day.

Detroit still hasn’t won a game in over a season.  Matt Stafford looks a lot like Peyton Manning circa his first year in Indianapolis.  Flashes of brilliance with a bunch of interceptions and losses.  Can Detroit turn around the massive amounts of failure and damage that Matt Millen inflicted on the Lions?  Check out this guy, here is his “Post game” thoughts on his Lions after today’s big loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Meet Brett Favre, game manager.  I like this Favre better than the “gunslinger”.  With weapons like Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin he really has no excuses to make silly mistakes.  Plus Favre’s success kills Packers fans.  It’s fun to watch them squirm, whine and complain.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills won!  Seriously.  The Bengals had the tougher road as they had to beat the Green Bay Packers.  Buffalo played Tampa Bay.  Tampa Bay needs to rebuild badly.  They have Kellen Winslow.  That’s about all you would want to keep on that team.

The Cardinals bounced back from last weeks loss to wallop the Jaguars, 37-17.  The Jaguars will draft Tim Tebow in the first round in next year’s NFL draft if the ownership would like to stay in Jacksonville.  Do I have to remind you that all of the Jaguars home games are blacked out because they haven’t sold out one of the teams eight home games?  Poor David Garrard isn’t going to know what hit him.  He is a great player among many underachieving players.  A change of scenery might do David good.  Tampa Bay anyone?

Jake Delhomme had a bounce back game.  25 completions for 308 yards, one touchdown and one interception.  However, the Panthers still lost to the Atlanta Falcons.  Maybe a change of scenery will do Jake good.  Tampa Bay anyone?

San Francisco’s offensive can be summed up in two words, Frank Gore.  16 rushes for 207 yards.  Two touchdowns.  It was like playing Madden on the beginner setting.

Matt Hasselback left the game with a rib injury before the half as the Seahawks went down pretty easy after that to the San Francisco 49′ers Gore’s.

Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saint used the Philadelphia Eagles as a doormat today.  I think the Eagles liked it.  Check the highlights…

The Texans beat the Titans.  Lots of offense, whoo-hoo!  The Titans are 0-2.

Who would have thought that the Denver Broncos would be 2-0?  With all of the change and drama they have had in this past off season is pretty amazing.  However, the Broncos beat the Bengals and Browns.  We’re not talking about stellar teams here.  Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels hasn’t had a real test yet.  We took a few shots at Josh’s witty and abrasive style on the blog.  We’ll have to readdress Broncos head coach after he beats a strong team.

The Redskins/Rams game was so overwhelmingly bad that it’s not worth talking about except to tell you that the Redskins won.

In a similar story, The Raiders beat the Chiefs.  People who dress up as Star Wars characters are happy this week.

Phillip Rivers threw for 436 yards today!  Fantasy football WIN!  However, the Chargers lost to the Baltimore Ravens.  Reality FAIL!

The Baltimore Ravens are the team to beat in the AFC North.  Ray Lewis still has mad skills.

Have you heard what they call the new Dallas Cowboys stadium?  Giants Stadium South.  Big win for the G-Men.  A devastating, historical loss for Jerry Jones and his Cowboys team in the new 2 billion dollar stadium that opened its doors to 100,000+ people last night.

Bonus stupidity:  Totally unrealated to week 2 NFL action check out Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith in a commercial.

A commercial with Jake only…

and finally a commercial with Jake and Charlie Daniels.

I’m not sure what to say either…

Florida besmirched Troy’s good name and reputation by trampling them 56 – 6.  Tim Tebow – 15 for 24.  237 yards.  4 touchdown passes.

Every time the Gators were on the field, it was a highlight.  It would be ridiculous to even discuss highlights of the game.

This wasn’t even a fair contest.

NFL teams take note, Tim Tebow is your number one pick.  However, teams will let Tim Tebow slide in the draft only to then pay the price later.

This “genius” has the thought process that the Jaguars should draft Tebow to win, not sell tickets. Hey Gene Fernette of the Flordia Times Union, if you draft Tim Tebow, you will win.  I don’t think the Jaguars are shopping for a quarterback.  They have a really good quarterback in David Gerrard.

Does any team in the NFL have the intelligence to draft future franchise quarterback Tim Tebow?

The great news for Tim is that Detroit has put all the hopes and dreams of a franchise quarterback into Matt Stafford.  At the very least it has to be comforting to know that you will not have to live in Michigan.

The interesting online rumor that is making its way around message board is that Tim Tebow will become a member of the New England Patriots.  If you look at the players involved one thing we know is that, The Patriots organization is not afraid to cut and run to build for its future.  I’m not saying that they will cut and run on Tom Brady but, how great to shore up the backup quarterback position and have a dangerous threat on the field.  Let’s face facts, Tom Brady is coming up on his 10 year anniversary in the NFL and he’s coming off a bad knee injury and now he has the questionable shoulder.  Ultimately, this would suck as the Patriots are the worst team but they are some of the smartest football people in the NFL universe.  They even figured out how to not get majorly killed for cheating.  That’s impressive, even for douche bags.

Here is this weeks Tim Tebow Top 5.

1.  New England Patriots

2. Minnesota Vikings

3. Buffalo Bills

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

5. Washington Redskins

Bobby Bowden, still back peddling.

Oklahoma isn’t that smart.

Random thoughts after watching some NFL  preseason games the past few days…

Cleveland Browns:  It doesn’t matter who your quarterback is this year.  You still have the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens in your division and you still have to play games against them.  Mangenius, he is not.

New York Football Giants:  Eli has no one to catch his passes.  Eight men in the box should stop the running game.  Mario Manningham, drafted last year needs to put glue on his gloves.  Another Michigan bust.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers:  Byron Leftwich?

Philadelphia Eagles:  McNabb is kind of a bitchy baby.  Mike Vick should have the QB gig after week 8.  McNabb isn’t a QB who stays injury free for long stretches of time.  He’s old now.  He’s due.

New England Patriots:  It’s was kind of eye opening how many times Brady was knocked around by the Redskins.  The O line isn’t that good.  And Brady is already injured.  He left the game with a shoulder injury that apparently was nothing by the time Belichick arrived at his press conference.  Hmmm…

Detroit Lions:  They are the toughest team… in preseason.

Seattle Seahawks/Kansas City Chiefs:  It looked like two teams trying not to win the game.

Oakland Raiders:  They like to be spanked.  This has been a reoccurring theme for this team since 2002.

Buffalo Bills:  Goodnight.
