Just pass the official half-way mark, Week 9 of the 17 weeks.
I have only one upset, if it is considered an upset, on Monday night.
Enjoy …
Sunday’s games
NEW ENGLAND 27, Miami 20 … Pats will have to earn this one
ATLANTA 38, Washington 17 …. Falcons are in must-win-big mode
CHICAGO 27, Arizona 23 … Could go either [...]

HOUSTON 31 – BUFFALO 10
Houston outgained Buffalo 454 – 214 yards and held the ball for almost 40 minutes. Buffalo becomes more and more hapless every week, as we witness the Texans waking up as the season progresses. Steve Slaton was benched for not keeping a hand on the rock, while Ryan Moats [...]

An interesting sight after the Celtics buried the Charlotte Bobcats last night was watching Rasheed Wallace watching Game 1 of the World Series on the bigscreen TV in the Celtics locker room.
Wallace, a lifelong Phillies fan, was commenting on each pitch as if he was in the booth.

Disclaimer: I believe the Phillies can beat the New York Yankees. They are that talented and, as Don Zimmer said in column I wrote today in The Eagle-Tribune, they are tough. Oh yeah, they’re defending champs, too.

HOUSTON 24 – SAN FRANCISCO 21
The bloom is off the rose for the NFL’s sweet heart team the 49ers. They’ve been throttled the past couple weeks and SF still has a long way to go. Coach Singletary switched QBs at half time, and it sparked at 21 point boost. Still, they fell short to an [...]

Pats got a little lazy, let things slip away in a game that was out of reach. Now, the opening possession of the second half decides whether this is another laugher or not
Offense
Line … B … Not a good day to be Logan Mankins, and the rookie Vollmer is limping
QB (C-) … Brady throwing to [...]

How can a guy with so much credibility and class, so great a human being, athlete and spokesman for the game of pro football, flat out tell lies on national TV?
This is again Hector Longo speaking. I have the utmost respect for Phil Simms, but for him to sit on national TV and try to [...]
