I think the knee (LenDale’s) to the head knocked loose some of the same neurons that were knocked around in the ASU game and gave him an(other) “I’m Batman” kind of game. Here’s hoping it’s the last one.

Thanks for the info on ESPN Instant Classics, guys. I’ll keep my eyes on the Friday TV listings, though I have to agree with **fiddlesticks** that the fact that it was an NBC broadcast isn’t encouraging. ☹

Anyone else think Zbikowski (sp?) is out there right now thinking, “Man, maybe I shouldn’t have hit Leinart so hard on that last run”?
