"Tim Tebow has the fiery leadership of Ray Lewis. He also has the throwing ability of Ray Lewis."

New York Jets coach Rex Ryan makes an appearance in an upcoming Adam Sandler movie. Ryan plays a Boston-based lawyer and big-time New England Patriots fan. That should be fun.
The San Francisco 49ers are the first team since 1920 to score a rushing touchdown in each of their first seven games without allowing one.
I don't believe in curses but this Madden thing is a little freaky. Usually an injury strikes the unfortunate featured player. Peyton Hillis has something entirely different. Only the Browns know the whole story but it might take down a promising career.
If you enjoy football, the Alabama-LSU game was the game for you. If you only like half the game, the Oklahoma St-Kansas St game might have been a better choice.
It was great to see Joe Kapp's kid, Will, score the first touchdown of his Cal career. A nifty 43-yarder on 4th and 1. Will Kapp is a "do all the dirty work never get any credit" fullback and special teams player. His celebration and his teammates celebration shows how much this touchdown meant.
There sure isn't much middle ground with Cal. They either play brilliant or terrible. Somewhere in the middle might have gotten them wins against Washington and UCLA. After thumping Washington St. 30-7, they are 5-4. Even with those terrible games Cal is a borderline bowl team that doesn't really deserve one.
Yesterday's Brown-Yale game didn't draw the attention of LSU-Alabama but it sure was fun.
With the Vikings on bye, I'm looking at an open slate of games today. I think Jets-Bills and Buccaneers-Saints look tasty in the morning. Packers-Chargers and Giants-Patriots in the afternoon.
Baltimore-Pittsburgh in the night cap is always a tough game. Baltimore took Pittsburgh apart in week one. I don't see a repeat.
Seeing as the Vikings return next week to shatter the Packers' dreams on Monday night, next Sunday is open too.
