Week 9 Awards
Wow You Guys Suck: Vikings Offense, Three points against the 49ers? You're joking right? Reliable Brad Johnson turned the ball over a bunch, Troy Williamson is quickly establishing himself as a possible first round bust as he can't hold onto passes and even dropped a crucial 3rd down pass on their final drive. Chester Taylor is the lone bright spot on the Vikings offense. Runners Up: Vince Young had one more rush attempt than he had interception, Raiders Offensive line who apparently is watching film of the Houston Texans circa 2004.
Cough Cough Cough: Mike Vanderweenie and the O-Line, Amazing how you could possibly lose a game like that where everything went wrong, Vanderweenie kicked a low kick the line didn't block and Kyle Kosier ends up being a big time goat for the 15 yard face mask.Runners Up: Rex Grossman isn't a gunslinger like Favre he's an idiot like Vinny Testaverde who has a tendency to throw the ball to a group of people wearing the wrong colored uni, Hines Ward who in the 4th quarter decided to helicopter himself into the end zone and proceeded to fumble before he got there and in essence clinch the game for the Broncos.
This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Al Davis, What have you done to the Raiders Al? They made the Superbowl only a handful of years ago and now they have no offensive line, no QB, an overpaid wideout and running back and a coaching staff that doesn't seem up for the challenge. Runner Up: Genius Billy B who decided not to pound the ball against the Colts even though they were doing it with great success as has everyone against the Colts, Anyone who prematurely proclaimed Rex Grossman and upper echelion QB in the league.
The Shocker: Miami Dolphins, This is a no brainer, coming into this weekend no one would have given the Dolphins a chance, in fact this is the first time this season on ESPN that not one person got every single game right on straight Pick'Em and the reason for this is the Dolphins, nobody picked them to win, and why would you with Joey Harrington going up against the best defense in the league. Runners Up: Detroit Lions shutting down Vick in a Dome on turf, San Francisco winning a thriller against the Vikings.
The Pimp: LT, So all those people who had LT and seemed worried about Turner stealing carries are looking more and more idiotic each week as LT routinely puts up 3 tds and provides the majority of the offense for the Chargers. How sweet does LT look in the powder blues. Runners Up: Drew Brees throwing for 300+ and 3 tds yet again, Javon Walker did just about everything you could do in the WR spot against the Steelers with 3 tds.
You Got JAKKED UP: Jeremy Shockey, Actually there were a lot of hits to choose from as the helmets were flying in the games I got to watch, but Shockey's Jakked Upping, not only was hard but cost the Giants a touchdown.
My Fantasy MVP: Drew Brees, Ok Drew Brees the past three Saints games has 9 tds, put up that production in the playoffs and I could be a very happy man.
New York Jets MVP: Bye Week, Which made me recap this season for the Jets, a mediocre team who is getting to many expectations from the NY media and is outperforming their talent. They'll go anywhere between 9-7 and 7-9 this season which won't be good enough in the AFC to garner a playoff spot, but will give hope for future seasons.
My Picks
My Picks: 6-8
Preseason Picks: 8-4
Picks Vs. Spread: 2-12
And I just keep on getting worse and worse every week, I'm ashamed at myself but I'm proud to say that I'm not a gambler and thus will not lose any money due to my idiocy. 2-12 versus the spread is laughable.
Week 9 Extra Quick Notes
~Speaking of Kyle Kosier and the facemask penalty, I really thought it only deserved a five yarder, sure he moved his helmet but it didn't seem like a blatant grab, and it ended up being a big difference in the ball game.
~NYC doesn't like to pit games against the Giants or the Jets, so FOX NYC showed the San Fran Vikings game this weekend cause it was at 4. I would just like to say that it might have been the worst football I have ever watched. 9-3? Ugh.
~Yesterday Theisman made a comment about Andrew Walter not feeling the pressure as if that was a good thing. Um, Joe maybe that's partially the reason why he takes so many sacks, if you look at Brady in comparison Tom moves around the pocket to increase his time while Walter just sits in the same spot and does nothing to improve his passing lanes or avoid pressure.
~Tyler Brayton put a smile on my face as his knee to the groin attempt on Jeramy Stevens ensured that the Raiders are not only terrible but are still thugs.
~I am amazed that neither Gibbs or Parcells had a heart attack on the sidelines on sunday. Did you see Gibbs? He didn't look once at the winning field goal attempt and didn't even seem excited that they won, he had a look of thank god this is over. And Parcells is going to kill Vanderweenie it's just a matter of time.
~I love how Vanderweenie has no problem throwing his teammates under the bus, the guy has been the least clutch kicker in NFL history, he is the Arod or Peyton Manning of kickers, always makes the ones with no pressure never makes the big ones, and yet he of all those guys always pushes the blame on others. He's a punk drunk kicker.
~Oh where or where has the Bengals offense gone?
~I'm not sold on Garrard as a playoff winning QB for the Jaguars, he never seems that impressive but they always seem to win the games he plays.
~Look at the disparity between the top teams in the NFL and the bottom teams at the Quarterback position, really only the Bears and Ravems have a below average QB of the top teams in the NFL and they have super defenses. The bottom teams on the other hand consist of Walter, Leinart, Losman, Young, Frye, Three Day Old Cheeseburger, etc. Guys that are either too inexperienced to play well, or guys that are just plain awful.
~The Giants game was another borefest.
~Are refs flag happy or is it just me? This week seemed especially ridiculous with the amount of flags. Troy Brown's taunting penalty in the Patriots game? What a joke of a call that was.

Comments
That call last night? The defense was making "noises that sounded like the quarter back's counting" so its yardage and an automatic first down??? What in the sam hell kind of fairy rule is that?
Don't even start on the season of the untouchable QB.
