Around the NFL
- How bad have things gotten for the New York Jets?
A week after being completely dismantled by the New England Patriots, Gang Green is seeking help from its strength coaches. And it still didn't help as Rex Ryan's band of boneheads fell two games behind in the division standings after a 10-6 loss to Miami.
Sal Alosi, who soon can be found in the unemployment line, intentionally stuck out his leg to trip Nolan Carroll of the Dolphins on a punt return. I agree with Daily News sportswriter Josh Krueger, who said, "Who does that?"
The league says it is reviewing the matter.
- The video clip of the Metrodome roof collapsing is down right fascinating. And a little scary. Heavy amounts of snow caused the roof to come down, and snow blanketed the field. It's safe to say everyone is thankful this didn't happen during the game.
- Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely had a feel-good day on Sunday. He rushed for a touchdown on a fake field goal, and booted five from the field. Too bad I don't have him on my fantasy team.
- After their 36-7 drubbing of the Chicago Bears in a snowstorm, the New England Patriots can officially be known as the Super Bowl favorites. The Atlanta Falcons quietly have complied the same record, but not with the same panache the Pats have used.
- Let me get this straight: Dallas Cowboys running back Tashard Choice asked for Michael Vick's autograph after the Eagles beat his team? And Cardinals fans were up in arms about Derek Anderson smiling on the sidelines during a loss to the 49ers? Wow.
- How about the curious case of Randy Moss? For the second straight week, he was held to no catches, and in the latest loss on Thursday night, he wasn't even targeted. I sure hope he enjoys his Super Bowl ring he'll receive courtesy of the Patriots.

Hey Scotty, want a good laugh?...look what you wrote after the Patriots traded Moss. >>>>
"Unless the third-round pick the Pats got in return for Moss turns out to be a future Hall of Famer, this was a raw deal. I would rather have him finish the season as a Patriot and take a run for a championship. Instead, this offense is cooked"
HA, HA,HA, HYSTERICAL!
Man, I was way off ... but consider this:
In the four games after Randy Moss left, the Patriots offense sputtered, including a horrible loss to Cleveland.
Then all of a sudden, it's the best in football. I have a sneaking suspicion that Bill Belichick knows the devil personally and made a deal with him.
I told this to Josh Krueger, who replied, "How do you know Bill Belichick isn't the devil?"
