America's Game

Just Another Sunday in The Greatest Show on Earth

We just saw an official in the Monday Night Football game call a penalty on the Redskins. It turns out it was a penalty on the Eagles. Hmm, oops. Forty-Yard adjustment on that one.

It's just another week in The Greatest Show on Earth.

This week saw The mighty Colts win another game by beating Rush Limbaugh's St. Louis Rams, oh wait sorry I mean Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton's Rams.

We were all very fortunate to witness Mark Sanchez eating a hot dog with one hand and destroying the Oakland Awfuls with the other.

The Chiefs, Bears, Browns, Panthers, Falcons, Giants, 49ers and Vikings all suffered losses. 

The New Orleans Saints made the Dolphins feel like the ugly girl at the prom. If nothing I say is true, mark my words and keep your eye on the Saints. Drew Brees is the most underrated QB in the league and The Saints are the best team in football. Good for New Orleans, that city is amazing and they deserve something to cheer for.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots invaded England and crapped all over the lost and lonely Tampa Bay Buccaneers. When interviewed after the game, Buc's coach Raheem Morris asked "Oh, I was at a football game? I had no idea." Or maybe he just appeared that way.

Chad Ocho-Cinco shot off his mouth, T.O is a has-been, Bill Belechick is still miserable,Brett Favre is still old, Romo humped a hot chick, Jerry Jones wants to be a sovereign nation, Al Davis peed in a plant in the corner whispering "It's O.K fluffy, its just me Charles."

All in all it was just another week in The Greatest Show on Earth.

P.S. Bill Cowher, please call the Glazier family.

   

The Greatest Show on Earth

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, welcome to the greatest show on earth!

We have freaks and geeks, star crossed lovers, we have the young and the old and everything in between.

We've got uppers and downers, has-beens and never-were, murder, assault and thievery.

This is the greatest show on earth.

Before I get started I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Duranti. Bill and MTR have been kind enough to let me slip in here and do some football writing.

We are going to have some real fun.

Nowhere else on the planet can you find the freak-show that is modern day professional football.

It has more drama than an afternoon soap-opera, more violence than a Rob Zombie movie,

more wild animals and disfigured clowns of all sizes than P.T Barnum.

And this season especially, big surprises and upsets. We have a couple of undefeated still, a couple of defeated, and everything in between.

We are going to have some real fun.

Hang on to your under-armor, this could get rough.

City schools to have 2-hour delay day after Super Bowl!!!

I wish my boss would give me a two hour late start!

 

The Pittsburgh Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay Monday because of the Super Bowl, Superintendent Mark Roosevelt said today.

Noting that Sunday's big game means a "late night," Mr. Roosevelt said the delay should cut down on student and staff absenteeism.

He said the district operated on a two-hour delay the day after the Steelers won the Super Bowl three years ago.

SUPER BOWL XLIII (AKA 43) - PRICELESS PICKS!!!!!!! Birds versus Thief’s!

Well it's that time.  Time to make the big pick. 

On paper the Steelers at 12-4 have to be the favorite.  They have the number 1 defense and their offense can get it done.  It will not be a blow out and do not expect the Cards to trail the whole game.  This will be decided by a late big play on DEFENSE not offense.

Championship Round	PRICELESS PICKS	Sun., Feb 1 TIME
Arizona (9-7, 3-0)   VERSUS Pittsburgh (12-4, 2-0)	Warner’s third Super Bowl may be his finest.   DEFENSE WINS SUPER BOWLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Fonzie says One for the Thumb!!!	6:20 p.m. ET, NBC

NFL; week four matchups...

Here are the NFL week four matchups along with our predictions courtesy of Dan who does a great job covering the Buffalo Bills for myteamrivals.com:

Bills 31 RAMS 19 - Edwards wins the Battle of Trent's.

Browns 20 BENGALS 17 - Derek Anderson is playing for his job right now.

TITANS 21 Vikings 18 - Titans D wins this one.

Broncos 34 CHIEFS 14 - The Chiefs D doesn't stand a chance against the Broncos O.

SAINTS 29 49ers 25 - Reggie Bush has a big game.

Cardinals 20 JETS 13 - It's going to be a long season for Brett and the Jets.

BUCS 24 Packers 21 - The loss of Al Harris is huge.

PANTHERS 27 Falcons 17 - Are the Falcons really 2-1??

JAGUARS 19 Texans 13 - Jags starting to get back on track.

Chargers 30 RAIDERS 20 - Lane Kiffin should save himself the trouble and resign.

COWBOYS 26 Redskins 23 - Campbell makes a game of it.

Eagles 23 BEARS 19 - Eagles continue to dominate.

STEELERS 20 Ravens 16 - This game will go the other way if the Steelers O-Line plays like last week.

Lets see how Dan does!

Dallas Cowboys and the NFC BEast Lead ESPN’s Power Ranking Week #4!

2008 Power Rankings: Week 4
	RK (LW)	TEAM	REC	COMMENT
	1 (1)	Cowboys	3-0-0	Two big NFC wins in a row put the Cowboys in the driver's seat. Rivalry game against the Redskins looms. (MM)
	2 (3)	Giants	3-0-0	I have them pretty much even with the Eagles, but ties aren't allowed. Close call against Bengals will help in long run. (MM)
	3 (5)	Eagles	2-1-0	They put up points against a solid Cowboys defense and then used a fierce pass rush to slow down the Steelers. We need to see how Brian Westbrook responds to the ankle injury. (MM)
	4 (9)	Titans	3-0-0	Hardly playing perfect ball, but still 3-0. Some of it's the competition; some of it's a very good football team doing enough to win. Next mission: Slow Adrian Peterson. (PK)
	5 (2)	Steelers	2-1-0	The Eagles exploited the Steelers' poor pass protection. Things won't get any easier against the Ravens on Monday.
	6 (10)	Bills	3-0-0	The Bills escaped with a victory despite a shaky performance against the Raiders. They have posted two fourth-quarter comebacks in a row and should cruise to 4-0 Sunday against the Rams. (TG)
	7 (11)	Broncos	3-0-0	The Broncos survived another tight game. Doubt their next game, at Kansas City , will be as nerve-wracking for the residents of Bronco Country. (BW)
	8 (4)	Packers	2-1-0	The worst news out of their Sunday night loss to Dallas was CB Al Harris' ruptured spleen. That changes everything. (KS)
	9 (13)	Chargers	1-2-0	The Chargers put 48 on the Jets on Monday night. That's a good way of avoiding another last-second defeat. (BW)
	10 (8)	Panthers	2-1-0	Couldn't protect Jake Delhomme enough for him to get the ball to Steve Smith against the Vikings. (PY)
	11 (6)	Patriots	2-1-0	The season can go south in a hurry if they don't shake off the humilating loss to the Dolphins. The Patriots have lost their mojo without Tom Brady. They better find an infusion from another source straight away. (TG)
	12 (7)	Colts	1-2-0	Their run defense is not good enough to win with right now, but the Colts keep repeating their mantra: We have to do what we do. Luckily this week, what they do is have a bye. (PK)
	13 (17)	Buccaneers	2-1-0	At this pace, Jon Gruden will make Brian Griese into a Pro Bowler. (PY)
	14 (18)	Jaguars	1-2-0	Feeling much better about themselves after a hard-earned win in Indy. Difficult to win regularly if it's that hard, and the solution to that is a couple big pass plays. (PK)
	15 (19)	Redskins	2-1-0	Huge opportunity Sunday against the Cowboys. Jason Campbell has looked superb in consecutive victories. (MM)
