What Did We Learn This Week In Sports?

For those of you still alive in your fantasy football playoffs…  I salute you.  What did we learn this week?

-Memo to Terrell Suggs; If you call yourself “Sizzle”, and claim in the Sunday Night Football intro that you are a graduate of “Ball-So-Hard University”, you probably shouldn’t let Phillip Rivers hang 34 on you in front of a national audience.  You also are a monumental douche-wagon.  Baltimore got punched in the mouth by San Diego 34-14, as the Chargers kept their playoff hopes alive with the win.

-Vince Lombardi Romeo Crennell coached his Kansas City Chiefs to a victory over the previously unbeaten Packers.  The Pack looked slow, lethargic, and extremely uninterested in the game from the start.  While I don’t see this being a trend, it was a pretty big let down for Cheese-Head-Nation, while the ’72 Dolphins toasted their customary bottle of haterade.

-Don’t look now… but the Colts aren’t a lock for the #1 overall pick after their 27-13 win against Tennessee.  Jesus, Jim Caldwell can’t do anything right.

-Grace may say ‘Tim Tebow’ before dinner, but Tom Brady doesn’t care.  The Patriots were sharp in the second half Sunday in Denver, downing the Broncos 41-23.  Brady ended the day with 320 yards and a pair of scores through the air, and also punched one in on the ground.  In the end, the lead was too much, even for Tebow.

-Caleb Hanie should give back his pay check, because he is stealing money from the Chicago Bears.  The Bears tail-spin continued Sunday at home as the Seahawks railroaded Chicago 38-14, outscoring them 31-0 in the second half.  Yikes… Time to wave goodbye, Bears.

-Drew Brees single handedly punched my ticket to the Fantasy Football Finals with his preposterous 412 yard, 5 touchdown performance in just 3 quarters.  Arguably more important to Brees, his play helped the Saints improve to 11-3 with a swagger that has to make the Packers sweat a little bit.  The Saints are going off a 5-1 to win the Super Bowl on Sportsbook.com.  Hmmm….

-The Giants stink, and Brandon Jacobs is a colossal waste of talent.

-TJ Yates remembered that he was TJ Yates, tossing a pair of interceptions as the Texans lost to Carolina 28-13.  Carolina pulled out all the stops in the win, including one of the more exciting plays of the year.

-The Jets stink.  Mark Sanchez stinks.  I’ve been telling you that for 2 years.

-Megatron is back.  Lions QB Matthew Stafford found his favorite target 9 times for a career high 214 yards and a pair or scores as the Lions blocked a potential game winning field goal as time expired gifting the Lions a 28-27 victory.  Those crazy Lions…
