NFL week 11: Norm Van Brocklin, because 550 will never be touched

Sounds about right.

 

Skol, Vikings!

 

I had to listen to that twice to prolong the trip back to childhood. And listening closely to the lyrics, it was a much deeper song than I realized as a kid.

 

The only thing that sucks about the Bears decent season (thus far) is Lovie Smith most likely being retained for another year. I think they make the playoffs, too.

 

The fact that Carolina is starting him this week is borderline irresponsible. How the hell do you start a guy who wasn't on your team last week? I hope he has COBRA in case his health insurance takes 30 days to kick in. The Ravens defense might be running on the fumes of glories past, but it won't matter much to St. Pierre if Haloti Ngata gets loose on one play and tears him in half.

 

Memo to BYH: Jaguars avoid blackout for sixth home game this season. 6-for-6.
Teams that can't make that claim: Oakland, Buffalo, San Diego, Tampa, Detroit (if I'm not mistaken).

But by all means, continue to float the L.A. Jaguars rumor, despite the fact that L.A. has the distinction of losing two NFL teams in one year (1995, when Raiders and Rams beat feet out of town).

 

Sidney Rice will play today for the Vikings.

 

Chiefs taking out some frustration on the Cardinals this week after the Destruction in Denver last week.

Up 14-3 early 2nd.

 

Just ran into OOP at Wal-Mart:

 

ODIN!!!!!

 

Interesting development in Pittsburgh. Big Ben says something to Richard Seymour after a Steeler touchdown, then Seymour turns around and decks him. Seymour has been ejected.
Somewhere, hundreds of NOW members erupted into applause.
