THE GOOD
The San Francisco 49ers wore Herrion’s number on the backs of their helmets as they beat the Titans 16-13 in overtime. This was San Francisco’s first game since Herrion’s death.
THE BAD
The Bears (the worst team in football per Nipper Knapp) finally agreed to terms with 1st Round running back Cedric Benson. The 4th pick overall pick finally came to terms with the Bears and they need it. Also since Rex’s injury – Chad Hutchinson was at the helm until the Bears saw what us Cowboys fans saw – a QB that looked lost! Rookie Kyle Orton promoted to 1st string, to be backed up by Jeff Blake and Chad has be removed from the QB rotation, as the 3rd string QB is now Kurt Kittner. Bye Chad!
The Denver Broncos who gambled on Maurice Clarett by making him a 3rd round pick decided that he was not worth that 3rd round selection. They are releasing him – and the man that caused so much trouble for the NFL last year could end up never playing in the league. Bye Bye Mr. Ohio State Buckeye – you just got BUCKED!
THE UGLY
Just a quick note to say that we are glad not to talk about HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED. It appears that he-who-must-not-be-named got excused from a charity carnival event because of a groin injury. Yeah, right – this after he caught 5 passes for 131 yards and 1 TD against the Bengals. The Eagle organization should be ashamed of itself for allowing this. Bad karma. And a private message to he-who-must-not-be-named – you still owe me an autographed jersey and football for when I helped you with your cell phone and computer! (That story comes another time.)
That first note under “Bad” really hurts. I’m in pain.
I live in the Chitown burbs and love me my Bears. Of course, I’m a realist (I’m also a Cubs fan), so I don’t expect much. But I’m still hurtin’, guys.
And, no, I never had my bike stolen. A stop sign? Are you serious? Did it have an ADT sticker or something else on it that made you think, “Hey!! that’s a great place to lock my bike!”
