Well, school is out for 2 days, I wish it was out for 28498 days, but whatever.  I am really pumped for that Chargers vs. Patriots game at Foxboro.  Superglue yourselves to the chair on Sunday night guys.  Is it gonna be revenge that prevails?  Or will it be Brady again?


--NFL NOTES--

- An update on the condition of TE Kevin Everett: he moved 3 of his fingers.  Not dramatic movement, but slight.  But at this point, that is good news.

- So Belichick didn't get suspended; only lost 500 grand for his actions, and the Patriots lost probably a 1st round pick(they have another one), or the 2nd and 3rd round picks if they don't make the playoffs, which is not gonna happen.  So it's a first rounder, and total of $750,000 that was lost from "videogate"(haha, still laughing).  I think that's lenient.  Of course, Goodell wanted to take the easy way out, because, I mean, we're talking about Belichick, the mastermind of 3 Superbowls and good debate skills.  Anyways, they should have lost 1st, 2nd AND 3rd round picks, $500,000 each for Belichik and Patriots organization, and a 2 game suspension for Bill Belichick.

- My thought is, though, even if Belichick wouldn't be on the sideline, he would use some mysterious way to communicate with his interim HC.  With video cameras, perhaps?

- I don't get why Chad Johnson gets so much criticism for his antics on the field.  I think they're entertaining, and they don't mock anyone or hurt anyone, and gives fans something to look forward to.  Ocho cinco isn't doing anything wrong, in my humble opinion.

- We have to go back about 5 days for this, but on the CBS pregame show, whenever Favre's name was mentioned, Dan Marino cringed pretty badly.

- Ricky Williams cracks me up.

- Culpepper is starting for the Raiders on Sunday.  But I think Josh McCown did a nice job.  Seriously, I really thought so.  An even TD-INT ratio with 75% completion?  Good enough for any team in the NFL, and certainly good enough for the Raiders.

- Look for the Bears to destroy the Chiefs, by at least 20 points, no doubt.

- And look for Steven Jackson to bounce back...in a big way.

- Ray Lewis looks done, Ed Reed still looks good, and the Ravens miss Adalius Thomas.  Wouldn't you?

- Green Bay has a good defense, like the Raiders of yesteryear.  But unlike the Raiders, they have a quarterback that doesn't like to throw backwards (I'm talking about Aaron Brooks :D).

- I'm still laughing at Joey Harrington.  And at the Falcons for letting Matt Schaub go.  By the way, Schaub looked very good against the Chiefs.  But then, it was against the Chiefs.  Comon.  Anyways, I really believe this is the ranking for the worst QBs in the NFL:
1) Aaron Brooks
2) Joey Harrington
3) Eli "The Punk" Manning (just cuz I hate him so)

--OTHER NOTES--

- I think Chuck Norris ages very well.

- San Diego State is officially, after Michigan and Notre Dame, the worst team in Division I-A.  Of course, that's excluding Temple, which is an anomaly because we don't need to mention that Temple is the worst team in college football.

- Padres are really losing a lot of ground.  3-7 record the last 10 games, now I know why they haven't won a World Series in their 38 years of existence: The San Diego Curse.  No team from San Diego is allowed to win anything major.

- Boise State finally lost.  I love their blue field, by the way.

- Wow.  Fines in F1 racing are really hefty.

- Kobe Bryant is in the worst situation ever.  Ask for a trade, viewed as a quitter and a selfish guy.  Stay, have Kwame Brown as your center, and elf man as your point guard.  I don't know, I think I might choose to be a quitter...

- NFL jerseys are so expensive!!!  How am I gonna afford to buy one?

- Tiger Woods shot a 63.  Looks like he's back to his dominating ways.  No one else in the PGA tour should be happy about that.
