Well, **Foie Gras** , it certainly doesn’t matter now.

Two days after their season ends ignominiously: Introducing the neeeew coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, Brad Childress!

You heard it here first.

Has Childress ever been to prison?

Dallas is looking good so far. Nice catch by Austin.

ETA: maybe not so good.

Well, you probably won’t see a better game all year than the Jets/Browns game. If you have NFL network or [nfl.com](http://nfl.com) rewind catch the replay.

Good game Jets. Hard fought and about as close as a game can be. The Browns could’ve forced a tie, but I pretty much never criticize coaches who err on the side of ballsiness and aggression.

The thing that gets me were all the missed sacks. We must’ve had Sanchez dead to rights 10 times and the lineman or linebacker would just miss him. He wasn’t even dodging sacks Mike Vick style, the guy would just overrun him and shoot by. Any one of those landing could’ve changed the outcome of the game, especially the last one when the Jets would’ve had like 3rd and 16 from their 5.

I hope this proves the Browns are for real, since the last two wins didn’t seem to do it.

Denver look as good against the Chiefs as they did bad against the Raiders. 28-0.

Denver has to be the weirdest team in the league.

They kind of remind me of Jacksonville: they can look like a 12-4 team one week and like a 4-12 team the next.

ETA: Pretty sure I’ve never seen a team give up 5 touchdowns in a half with only one turnover.

Bizarre sequence in Denver. Broncos kicked a 58 yard field goal with 21 seconds left, but it comes up short and Eric Berry returns it 81 yards. The clock stops with _one second_ left, and KC kicks a field goal instead.

Not too often the game gets held up for power issue. They reported a smoking transformer at Giants’ Stadium.

I thought Merriman was picked up by the Bills, not the Giants.

I think it also might be that Jerry told the team: “I’m going to fire every one of your lousy asses if you don’t start winning some football games.”

Nah, Jerry would never scold his star players. Lets not forget the Giants had a potentially fraudulent record and they might actually suck.

The Panthers aren’t fraudulent. They really are THAT bad.
