Top 10...Bottom 5: Week 6

-
After six weeks of action, over a third of the league (11 teams) is sitting at 3-3, with another five teams at 2-3, having already had their bye week. Can you say parity? I knew that you could. The entire entire AFC East is tied for 1st at this point. Around the rest of the league, the bottom teams aren't separated from the top teams by much. The best team can easily be beaten by the worst team any week. This should make for an interesting remainder of the season, and a difficult proposition to provide any type of proper rankings. However, in the interest of banging my head against a wall, here we go.

TOP TEN

1. Atlanta Falcons-I don't know if I really think they are the best team, but they are undefeated, and winning close games, and the Falcons fans who read this will lynch me if I don't put them first..both of them.
2. Houston Texans-This is what happens when you have the bad luck to play Aaron Rodgers when he's ticked off.
3. Chicago Bears-They returned 2 more interceptions for touchdowns on the bye week.
4. New York Giants-Alright, who told Ahmad Bradshaw he was good again?
5. Baltimore Ravens-This defense isn't very good, and that was BEFORE they lost Lewis and Webb. Since week 1, haven't beaten anybody by more than 7 points.
6. Green Bay Packers-The other 31 NFL teams should boycott talking to any reporter who questioned Aaron Rodgers. (You won't like him when he's angry)
7. Seattle Seahawks-I know. I'm as blown away as you guys. I'm giving myself 30 lashes for the following comment: Pete Carroll is doing a great job. I feel dirty.
8. San Francisco 49ers-Alex Smith: 0 TDs and 3 INTs. And somewhere Clem gets his scotch back out of storage.
9. New England Patriots-The secondary should be forced to watch "Bengals:The Best of the '90s" over and over for letting Sidney Rice get deep on them.
10. Denver Broncos-Any one of several teams could go here. I'll give the nod to Peyton.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Washington Redskins-I knew I should have knee-capped RGIII at halftime for the sake of my fantasy team.
Philadelphia Eagles-That might be the worst overtime possession in NFL history.
San Diego Chargers-So. many. jokes.

BOTTOM FIVE

28. Carolina Panthers-Cam Newton's ego ran for 200 yards against their defense during the bye week.
29. Cleveland Browns-Browns win! Browns win! Browns win??
30. Oakland Raiders-I gotta be honest, I have no idea how they managed to screw this one up.
31. Jacksonville Jaguars-Not in the last spot thanks to a bye week that kept them from reminding me how bad they are.
32. Kansas City Chiefs-I read earlier that a QB controversy could be coming with Cassell coming back and immediately wept for KC fans.

MVPs of the Week

Aaron Rodgers-Commentary not needed.
Robert Griffin III-The Vikings defense is still shell-shocked.
Shonn Greene-My fantasy opponent had RGIII and Greene. I lost.

Goats of the Week

Philip Rivers-Had a big lead, then turned into Tony Romo.
Jay Feeley-Talk about going from hero to goat. Yikes.
Bengals running game-Opposing defenses have absolutely no respect for it.

My Grandfather

My grandfather was always larger than life. His massive pot belly preceded the rest of him by a few seconds wherever he went, but I'm not talking about that. His booming voice could be heard, as he called for his chickens, far and wide across the property we shared when I was growing up, but I don't mean that either. He wasn't just my mother's father, my neighbor, and the slightly crazy guy who talked to chickens on his little farm. He was the farm. Even as a small child, he seemed ancient, with a grey buzz-cut, weathered skin, and rough, gorilla-sized hands. Those hands were something. His balled-up fist was the size of a watermelon, and it was easy to imagine that if you angered him, those hands could twist off any appendage that he wished. Even as an old man, he looked like he was a just a few years removed from bench-pressing a tank. He also moved slowly, sometimes with a limp, and could be heard sighing anytime he stood up from the couch where he took his daily n...

My Week 14 Recap

-
We're in the process of closing out the season, and the good teams are showing it, while the bad teams are, well, really bad. This week the Packers flex, the Cowboys flop, the Jags romp, and the Broncos do it again. Week 14 Power Rankings: 32. Indianapolis Colts-I really don't see how they could possibly win a game at this point. Move over Lions, you've got company. 31. St Louis Rams-Injuries have killed them, but injuries had nothing to do with not getting Stephen Jackson the ball on the goalline. That's pure idiocy. 30. Cleveland Browns-The defense held Pittsburgh to 14 points. Unfortunately for them, if a team can score 10 against the Browns, it's enough. 29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-How bad is this team you ask? They gave up 41 points to the Jags, a team whose season-high up to that point had been 20 points. THAT'S MORE THAN DOUBLE THEIR PREVIOUS BEST. Raheem Morris, go stand in line with Haley and Sparano. 28. Kansas City Chiefs-Todd Haley goes from loo...

WWE Recap: Saturday Night Main Event (March 1988)

-
We open with the usual introductions from the wrestlers participating in the show. Hulk Hogan tells the camera that "He will never bow. He will never break." I'm guessing that's where Breaking Benjamin got the idea for the song. Ok. Maybe not. Anyway..... Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake vs Greg "The Hammer" Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart These two are former tag team partners, and they did mention that in the pre-match interviews, which was good story-telling. Beefcake's ring attire leaves little to the imagination, and Jesse Ventura asks Vince McMahon if that excites him. Vince responds that Elizabeth excites him. Wild. As the action starts, they have a little back and forth. Brutus hits a high knee that takes The Hammer off his feet. A boot to the face follows, and Beefcake struts like Ric Flair. A pair of atomic drops are hilariously sold by Valentine. The referee steps in between the two as they grapple in the corner, and Valentine takes the op...
