NFL Player of the Week

My award goes to the dynamic, diminutive rookie Oakland Raider wide receiver Jacoby Ford (from Clemson University), who single-handedly carried his team over the high-flying Kansas City Chiefs, with 6 catches for 148 yards - including TWO HUGE catches, one on the last drive to start overtime (ripping the ball from the cornerback) and another (a 40-yard bomb that he caught on a slant pattern) to seal the deal in OT - AND a 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. WOW. Just wow.

Funny Moment of the Week

Just watch as you see a 300-pound defensive tackle attempt an extra point attempt. Quite amusing, I must say.




Now, this is how an extra-point is made if your kicker goes down with an injury (wide receiver Wes Welker attempts the PAT (point-after-attempt):

Les Miles... The Mad Hatter




The turning point of the #6 Alabama - #10 LSU game occurred when there was ten minutes left in the fourth quarter, with the Crimson Tide leading 14-13. The Tigers had just come up short on a third-down run - resulting in a fourth-and-one around the Tide 20-yard-line. That's when the 'Mad Hatter' once again pulled a rabbit out of his hat. The common play would be to tack on the field goal and lead by two.

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.

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


The Great Runs of Blount and CJ2K

The first goes to rookie Tampa Bay running back LeGarrette Blount (the infamous Blount that made the punch felt 'round the world last season for the Oregon Ducks). Watch and be amazed:





Blount Hurdle

The second goes to the elusive Titans' running back stud Chris Johnson, who pulled a college-level play during the Titans-Chargers game:
