Every Swingin’ Dick

This kind of stuff may happen all the time, but I’ve never noticed it before. UCLA’s QB Ben Olson and K Justin Medlock both wear #7. I know with walk-ons that a college football roster can be huge, but you would think they would spread the numbers around so that their starters aren’t sharing them.

In other news, after his day today, my agreement with Chad Henne is over. 18-25, 211 yards, 2 TD in a win seems like an OK day. 3 INT though. Brutal. I watched the game, and like usual he had ZERO control over the offense, ZERO poise, ZERO awareness. Chucking it up in the air and hoping that Manningham catches it seems to be working for now, but it isn’t exactly good QB play. So…

Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny – Heiny.

Falcons reach agreement with veteran K Andersen

Morton “I’m 46 years-old” Andersen? Really? Wow. Really?

Wow.

And this is from a team that is 2-0 and has won both games in impressive fashion. I figured after Sundays FG problems that the Falcons would sign someone, but I wouldn’t have guessed Morton Andersen in a million years. I figured they would just call up last year’s kicker, Todd Peterson. But they apparently flipped through their 1996 Rolodex and a few minutes later, Old Man Morton was on his way to Atlanta.

Wow. Well, good luck to him. Let’s hope he doesn’t break a hip…

OK Chad Henne, no more “Heiny” jokes so long as you continue to play like you did in South Bend last Saturday.

(I’m guessing this will last until about the 2nd QTR of the Wisconsin game on Saturday…)

For saying what we’ve all been thinking:

NFL Football. Hooray!!!

Dolphins @ Steelers tonight on NBC. My first observation of the season? It’s that I’m already tired of the horrible re-made Joan Jett theme song by “performed” by Pink. It makes me long for the days of Hank Williams Jr.

Lions cut draft bust Rogers

Charles Rogers was a monster at MSU, and certainly had / has the ability to be a great NFL wideout. Hopefully this will be the wakeup call he needs to get his career in order. Somebody is going to give this guy a shot–he is too talented to not end up somewhere.

I admit I’ll be rooting for him. I became a big fan of his while he was at MSU, and I just can’t bear to think that he is too stupid and lazy to get himself together and become a good player for somebody.
