Goodbye NFL Week 6


I like when I am right, and like to remind people when I am right. Didn't I tell you all, that those who spoke up about the New England Patriots "spy gate" situation had woken a sleeping giant? They went for the Cowboys throat even after they had the game in hand, scoring with 19 seconds left to give the rest of the league a middle finger.

Bill Simmons, aka the Sports Guy, over at ESPN wrote a good article about the Patriots "Eff you" TDs this year. Although I hate his Boston favoritism, it was a good read.

Week 9 is going to be legendary if the Colts and Pats are both undefeated going into their matchup. Tony Dungy has to be licking his chops at the fact that everyone is eating up the Pats season, while the Colts have flown under the radar. Can you say locker material?

Dungy is probably telling his players that they are getting no respect, and the Pats are the team to beat despite the fact that the Colts, not the Pats, are the defending champs.

Oh, and we already know who is coming out of the NFC thanks to Cowboys wide receiver Patrick Crayton.
He had this to say following their loss:
"If they make it to Arizona, we will see them again. Seriously, I'm not backing down from that statement," receiver Patrick Crayton said Monday, a day after a 48-27 loss to the Patriots.

Mr. Crayton, the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers may have something else in mind.

Sentence summaries for most of the games:
New Orleans showed they still have a pulse. Cincinnati still cannot stop anyone on defense. Tennessee Titans' Vince Young officially suffered the Madden curse. Carolina's Vinny Testaverde is an ageless wonder. Minnesota's Adrian Peterson ran all over Chicago. San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson was given the ball. Green Bay's Brett Favre broke another NFL record (this week: interceptions).

Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress = next Peyton Manning-Marvin Harrison? Perhaps. Probably will not reach the same numbers, but they are a good combo.

Record on NFL picks for week 6: 9-4
Season overall (started late): 33-24
