Sunday Football Open Thread

Burress gets called for pass interference and it was a good call. Coughlin exchanges words and Burress is firing back. Everybody’s patting him on the back…poor poor Plaxico. Whiney little brat.

Bills take it 23-14 on 3 Rivers turnovers: 2 fumbles (ball swinging in the wind) and an interception.

Watching the games, a bit detached from the outcome, is about as relaxing as it gets. That we’re rooting for Buffalo to lose – to keep them at 4 wins – instead of rooting for San Diego to win may just be semantics, but that’s how we’ve had to justify it this afternoon.

GB looks very good, stats that is (I can’t watch the game). Rodgers is very dominating and Manning has a 50% completion on passes. Harrison and Wayne are being held for little yardage.

is Sox/Rays right now…quite the game.

I’m seriously depressed now about the Sox. Anyway, about football:

I was not expecting so much offense from either the Bears or the Vikings. Well, “offense” is probably the wrong word, and perhaps “scoring” is a better term. An ugly and yet beautiful football game.

Seattle has really fallen far in a short time. Their descent to mediocrity has been even more rapid and pronounced than ours — and my Washington friends at work don’t seem to have a lot of optimism that they’ll turn it around any time soon.
