1. Other than the Panthers/Cowboys game, every Monday night game has been entertaining so far.
I still like the Sunday Night games better.
2. From the perspective of a TV executive, there are no bad matchup possibilities in the WS- you have New York, Philadelphia, and two teams from Los Angeles.
The dream matchup has to be the Dodgers vs. Yankees, but I'm personally rooting for a Yankee/Philly Matchup.
3. It's not exactly a banner time for Buffalo sports- Bills are terrible, and Thomas Vanek is injured and will be out for a while. HD, as bad as the Browns have been at points this year- you do have the Buckeyes who are in the top 10.
Buffalo and Cleveland are two cities that can definitely relate.
4. Am I the only one who thinks that Carson Palmer is playing a bit better post-surfery than Tom Brady is so far?
Don't forget Peyton Manning is now over a year removed from knee surgery himself. Although Palmer's injury and surgery was more serious, there's no doubt it takes time to recover, build confidence and get your timing back. Tom Brady is learning that this year.
5. If you could describe yourself in five words or less, what would it be? (Mine would be Loyal, Impatient Buffalo Sports Fan.)
Detailed, Organized, Passionate, Dedicated & Personable.
6. Anyone still doubt me about when I said that Trent Edwards is a weak-armed wimp?
I wonder if Terrelle Owens will be traded before the October 20th deadline?
10. Barring a miracle, it looks like Buffalo will go 10 straight years without making the playoffs with no better record than 7-9. HD, your team did make the playoffs and have a 10-win season; my team doesn't even have anything to fondly remember. You'll at least remember the good times of 2007 (which included, yes, a win over my Bills). All we have is a decade of what-might-have beens.
At least you guys have been to a Super Bowl. 'Tiss better to love and lost than to never have loved at all.
11. Am I the only one who thinks the Lions are going to beat the Rams by three touchdowns?
Only if Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford are healthy and play. The Rams are the worst team in the NFL right now.
12. Anyone like toffee?
No, but a local chocolate place in Cleveland is coming out with a limited release of "Chocolate Bark". It's basically a decadent treat of bacon covered in chocolate.
13. What are your Halloween plans? I'm going to a college party, dressed as a combination of Jason Voorhees and the hockey player from hell.
I was invited to a Michael Jackson themed party. You have to dress in a certain era version of MJ to attend. If I don't go as that, I'm thinking of going as Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrel in Anchor Man).
