Game over

And as I watch the 49ers try mulitple on-side kicks to get the ball back, even though they're down 31-10 with 4 minutes left, it seems like a good time to call it quits for the day.

Final scores from the late games:
Buffalo 13, Jets 3
Chargers 35, Texans 10
Jaguars 24, Bucs 23
Patriots 52, Washington 7 (way to keep fighting, Washington)
And soon it'll be Saints 31, 49ers 10 (Drew Brees is no longer in the game, by the way)

Thanks for reading and talking trash, everyone. Enjoy watching the Red Sox (who I don't hate, yet) stomp the Rockies again.

Good night.

Jags win nail biter

With an interception of Jeff Garcia with 20 seconds left, the Jacksonville Jaguars hold on to beat the Tampa Bay Bucs 24-23. I'd like to point out that I was the only Daily News sports writer to pick the Jags in that game.
How's the view from last place, boss?

It's about time

Well, I guess I was sort of wrong. The Pats finally did put in Cassel. But as far as calling off the dogs ... not so much. Belichick has reined in his No. 1 dogs, but he's clearly told the backup dogs to attack at will.
That's it. No more talk of the Patriots. Just makes me angrier.

How about those Bills?

Sit back down, Matt Cassel

Think Cassel should start warming up? There's really no point. It's not like he's seeing any action today. And I can't wait to see if anyone asks Belichick about keeping Brady in the game.
"If Washington had scored, it would have beena five-possession game. I'm not going to put my team in a position of only winning by 31."

I hate you, Randy Moss!

And that hatred is only slightly fantasy motivated. I wish someone would just punch him in the face.
Nice push-off before the catch, though. With all those officials on the field, it surprises me that guys can get away with stuff like that.

Close one in San Diego

Chargers just scored again and lead 35-3. Can anyone figure out this team?

Redskins are stupid

How do they not know that's coming? Every time Mike Vrabel is in the game on offense in goal line situations, they're throwing the ball to him. How can he get that open? The Patriots might as well have had the ref announce "Number 50 is an eligible receiver and will be catching the ball in the end zone on this play."
Apparently the Redskins didn't get the message.

Patriots only winning 7-0

Tom Brady just ran for a touchdown in the first quarter to put New England up 7-0. Sadly, he wasn't injured on the play.
I think, right now, Pats fans have to be a little worried. They're only up a touchdown at the end of the first quarter? Something must be wrong.

Finals

Early games are wrapping up. A quick score check:
Steelers 24, Bengals 13
Browns 27, Rams 20
Lions 16, Bears 7
Colts 31, Panthers 7
Giants 13, Dolphins 10
Titans 13, Raiders 9

How pathetic are the Rams and Dolphins? I don't think any teams will go 0-16 this year, just as there also will be no 16-0 team, but it's hard to imagine either St. Louis or Miami winning a game.

Calling Jim Sorgi

Colts are up 31-7 early in the 4th. Hopefully they'll soon call off the dogs and put in backup QB and one of the University of Wisconsin's finest, Jim Sorgi.
