Weekend Review

Parity has taken over the sports world. Just when you think that you are sure how good a team is...BOOM!...they make you change your mind. Not just in the NFL, this weekend we saw a few teams we thought for sure were elites get beat by teams that are awful or that we are very suspect about.

For one my Washington Redskins beat a very talented team in the Dallas Cowboys son their home turf late Sunday afternoon. In all honesty, I thought that this game could have been a blow out but it wasn't because the Redskins just couldn't get the ball in the endzone. But, the 'skins were in total control of the game throughout in my opinion. The Cowboys scored two touchdowns both on two-minute drill drives. Just how good is the NFC East? The Philadelphia Eagles are the 4th best team in that division right now!

Just when you thought that the Denver Broncos are an AFC elite team they go and let the Kansas City Chiefs make them look like a .500 team. I still think that the Broncos are good but how good is the question. There defense is very bad even with a secondary that features Champ Bailey and Dre' Bly, two of the best corners in the game.

I was so hoping to a great game Saturday night when Alabama went to Georgia. But all I got was a hang over on Sunday since Georgia decided not to show up until the second half. 'Bama is for real ladies and gentlemen. To bad that they will probably fall now this weekend. The SEC is doomed for a BCS Championship unless something crazy happens.

The Minnesota Twins and the Chicago White Sox face off tonight in a win and your in game for the right to travel to Tampa for the ALDS. I have never thought that the White Sox were going to be in this position but then again you just never know. They have the 4th most errors in the American League this season, this is something that you never see from a playoff team. Chicago got the home game for tonight but I will never count out the Twins in any game for the remainder of my life.

My fantasy football team for The SFL played very well this week and I am now back at the .500 mark and for the first time in a very long time I do not own the worst winning percentage in the history of the league. When I looked at my line up this week I really thought I was doomed to start the season 1-3. But, with the help of my buddy (for this week) Drew Brees and my great coaching for starting Matt Jones I won pretty convincingly. The only problem was that the rest of my division won convincingly as well. Again, match up wise, I am not looking good for a victory this weekend. But, if Willie Parker can come back I like my chances with Drew Brees facing Minnesota on Monday night.

That's all I got today guys! I have my first Penn State University exam this weekend so the blogs this week will be very limited. Speaking of Penn State, can you say Rose Bowl?
