It's Football Time

Saints-Colts, I'm liking it. A few thoughts from the weekend: if the Jets can get a good WR, they're going to be pretty good next year, the Saints need to play better to have a shot in the Super Bowl--the Vikings handed them that game, and I pray that Favre announces his retirement withing 3 days.

Colts-Jets

I saw most of the game, the reason I missed part of it was due to a venue switch mid game (went from low def, to hi def TV). You know the Colts have something special when they put up a fairly dominant win and you barely hear Reggie Wayne's name called. Garcon and Collie are legit and it will be interesting to see which one pulls ahead next year. The Jets aren't bad, I'll give them that, but they need someone to compliment Braylon Edwards, dude is a good football player, but he's not exactly the best receiver.

Saints-Vikings

I'm glad they won, but the Saints didn't deserve to win that game. The Vikings shot themselves in the foot with all of those turnovers and it could have been worse if the Saints knew how to recover a football. I heard an analyst praising the Saints today because they pick up and run fumbles, I couldn't believe it! Twice yesterday the Saints had a chance to recover a fumble and blew it because they tried to pick it up and run instead of just diving on it. Sure it's great if you can do it, but take the safe play and fall on the ball.

Prediction: Saints 27-Colts 24

The Saints put Brett Favre on the ground yesterday and if they can do the same to Peyton they can win the Super Bowl. Sean Payton needs to find someone to pick on in the Colts offensive line and not let up, if they can get a crack that could be all it takes to get Manning frustrated. An aside, all this talk about Archie Manning being conflicted seems like a bit of baloney. I understand he has a strong connection to NO, but it's his kid in the Super Bowl, you think he's not going to root for him?


Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey:

My girlfriend had a birthday party this Saturday night and a bunch of people crashed at her place. On Sunday we went to a diner in Plymouth Meeting to grab some breakfast. While we're eating we suddenly see Terrence Howard (Crash, Hustle and Flow, Iron Man) walk in with his family. They were dressed up so I can only assume they were coming from church. Apparently he ordered a shit ton of food (at least two orders of grits, pancakes, and some other unknown stuff), dude must have an appetite. He seemed decent enough and didn't draw attention to himself though I think he had 6 different waiters/waitresses trying to serve him, haha.
