-Watching Brett Favre's two games against the Packers was frustrating not because we lost, or not because of his combined seven touchdowns in the two games (Side note: shoot me now. Please). The most painful thing to see was his zero interceptions. It's like seeing your psycho ex-wife in public for the first time, waiting for the inevitable point where she always made a scene in public... only it never comes. We knew that Favre was capable of stretches of greatness. What is unfamiliar to any Packer fan who has followed the team this decade is that he has thrown only three interceptions in seven games. Just unreal.
-As if that wasn't bad enough, my fantasy team ran into Chris Johnson this week. And Owen Daniels, who has been the Bigfoot-common "consistently spectacular tight end" all year. Now I'm sitting at 5-3, tied for first in the division, with Daniels dropped (he's out for the year) and Brian Westbrook (my first-round pick) in limbo. Not a fun weekend football-wise.
-So let's get it straight... Peyton Manning is the most clutch quarterback in the NFL, the Red Sox are the overpriced team that can't get out of the ALDS, the Yankees are trying to get the playoff monkey off their backs, and Alex Rodriguez is delivering clutch hits at a record pace. Apparently, it's Bizarro 2004, and nobody bothered to tell me. Johnny Damon is even clean-shaven. Who knew?
-It's about damn time that Carolina took the game out of Jake Delhomme's hands. Led by DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, the Panthers proved that they are capable of winning--as long as they don't let Delhomme beat them.
-The Giants just aren't good. Now we know.
-Indianapolis gave us quite a scare, almost blowing one to San Fran. It marked the first win by an incumbent #2 in my Power Poll (Baltimore went 0-3 while holding the spot). We're far from out of the woods though--the possibility of a "#2 curse" is still very real. Stay tuned.
