After 297 consecutive starts (yeah, I'm very disappointed Brett Farve did not make it to his 300th consecutive start), Brett Farve is NOT going to start in tonight's rescheduled Giants-Vikings game.
That is all.

Scary Scene in Minnesota
As you may know, the Giants-Vikings game has been postponed to Monday night at 7:20 PM (was scheduled at 1 PM today) due to the Hubert F. Humphrey Metrodome collapsing due to the weight of 17 inches of snow. FOX sports has a great time-lapse of what happened:
Frightening, don't you think?

Randy Moss Has Been Released!
My question to you is... should the Washington Redskins put a waiver claim on him? Here are my reasons:
1) It's the Daniel Snyder way of adding players to the team - he goes after high-profile veteran players who do excellent with their previous team but stink as soon as they play w/ the 'Skins. Also, these players carry a lot of baggage - see Sanders, Deion; Archuleta, Adam; and Smith, Bruce.
2) Outside of Moss and young semi-proven Anthony Armstrong, we are VERY thin at wide receiver - we have been for some time now. We need a tall, big-play wide receiver after we inexplicably released Devin Thomas.
3) Who would NOT like the fact of seeing a Moss on one side of the field and ANOTHER Moss on the other side of the field? There are so many Jacksons and Johnsons and James on one team - why not Moss?
We, the Redskins, have a chance in getting him, since Moss will be put on waivers tomorrow - the order of the waiver claims goes from the worst team (the Buffalo Bills) to the best team (the New England Patriots). Out of the teams that want him, only the Rams and the Raiders have a worse record than the 4-4 Redskins.

BREAKING NEWS: Moss Headed to the Vikings
No, I am NOT talking about the diminutive Santana Moss, nor his bro Sinorice Moss (who is on IR). I am talking about the most popular Moss - Randy Moss, who was dealt as of 9 AM this morning to the Minnesota Vikings for a third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and possibly more.
Moss has been displeased at his contract situation this season - since it was the last year of his contract with the New England Patriots - and showed his displeasure after the week 1 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, saying that he wants to be traded during a press conference after the game. The tipping point was on Monday night, when he caught ZERO passes against the Dolphins.

Top NFL Players - Week 3
Every Monday, I shall show the top players at each offensive skill position - fantasy-style, with the percentage owned and started in parenthesis. All data is from espn.com
Let's begin:
Quarterback:
Michael Vick (50.5%/98.3%)
17/31, 291 yards passing and 3 TD's, 4 rushes for 30 yards and 1 Rushing TD
32 Fantasy Points
The Philadelphia Eagles are on a roll with Vick at the helm. His team thoroughly dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars, and I think we all are witnessing the ole' 2006 Michael Vick now. He accounted for all 4 of the Eagles' TD's, throwing 2 to Jeremy Maclin and one to speedy Pro-Bowler DeSean Jackson. Up next, my team, the Washington Redskins. I think he'll be pumped and play a SPECTACULAR game - a..k.a. a MUST-START against my Redskins.

What a Comeback!
It's a Friday night in my dorm, and I am watching the West Virginia - Marshall game. Throughout, Marshall's defense has dominated - I mean, DOMINATED - this game - until the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. The score was 21-6 Marshall when the West Virginia Mountaineers came storming back with stud running back and future NFL star Noel Devine (who has the most rushing yards in the program's storied history).
(I have to include this video, since it involves my Maryland Terps get thrashed in '07)
The Mountaineers, despite committing costly false-start and holding penalties, still hung on, barely. The drive started on their OWN two-yard-line. With 30 seconds left and ball on the Thundering Herd 10-yard-line (21-13 Marshall during this drive). Marshall's defensive players caused the Mountaineers to backpedal, and time was ticking... 20 seconds left, and the young West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith calls a hurry-up offense while Marshall's players were celebrating. Calm and cool under pressure, Smith lofted a touch pass to the back of the end zone... for a TOUCHDOWN! 21-19, with UWV coming back! They make the two-point conversion to tie the game and send it to overtime.
Temporary Video of Game is HERE!
The touchdown seemed eerily reminiscent to the 2009 Vikings-49ers game, with the pass by Favre to tight end Greg Lewis at the buzzer..

Overtime of West Virginia-Marshall Game:
- West Virginia starts with the possession
- They lose yards on their possession
- End up kicking a field goal
- Marshall gets ball
- On a throw to the running back, Marshall ends up losing yards
- On third down, they get back most of the yards on a slant to the wide receiver
- Fourth down, they MISS a game-tying field goal - shanked right

I am not sure if this is a ruse or to actually believe him. Minnesota Vikings' quarterback Brett Favre has text-messaged his teammates saying "I'm done!" and that he is leaving the game - but is he bluffing? My guess is that Favre WILL pull a Houdini and on September 9, 2010, surprise everyone by coming out of the tunnel and starting for the Vikings when the play the Saints to open the 2010 season.
His on-again, off-again statements drive nearly every football fan, media member and me insane. I think Favre is trying to make headline news after the Albert Haynesworth fiasco, since he cannot live without profession football and the adoration of his fanson-and-off the field. Many columnists and television analysts (myself included) believe he cannot live without playing the sport he clearly loves, which is why I think he will return to the Vikings on Opening Day. But, then again, I am the same person that thought LeBron James would sign with the Chicago Bulls this offseason and McNabb would still be playing with the Eagles in 2010.
But, then again, he had surgery in the offseason to repair an ankle injury he suffered in the Saints-Vikings NFC Championship game last year, so, if the ankle is not fully healed, maybe he does not have enough to continue playing.
Will this pass be the last one he ever throws with the Vikings? I sure hope not.
After all, like the Energizer Bunny, he just "keeps going and going and going..."
