Football Edition

Seems like Monday and Tuesday are starting to be difficult to make time to post.
Work has gotten a bit more difficult,so those days are starting to take time away.
Now if anyone wants to send a laptop for me to use at the ol' grindstone,this blog would really flourish!!!LOL!!

Anyway a few words on the Browns and Seahawks wins and some thoughts on football issues,followed by a pretty exciting announcement that any of you out there can participate in,if you like.

I thought the Browns did not play at their best on offense ,but the defense came up with their best effort of the season in their 27-17 win over Houston.
The complete shutdown of Andre Johnson by rookie reserve Brandon McDonald likely was the huge difference in the game and the fact that the Browns developed a pass rush was an encouraging sign as well.
This weeks Cleveland trip to Arizona is a biggie for the blog teams.
A Browns win keeps the Browns wild card hopes healthy and the resulting Cardinal loss could help the Seahawks NFC West title hopes.

The Seahawks played a lousy first half and not much better in the second half against the St.Louis Rams,but thanks to blind luck and Gus Frerotte's butter fingers-the Hawks grabbed an ugly 24-19 win in the Arch city.
The defense stepped up and held the Rams to a 4th and goal from the one,but Frerottes botching of the snap saved the day for Seattle.
Seattle really needs to get it together or their playoff time will be very limited.
They are doing enough to get by,but the road struggles continue and they will be tested this week by a trip to the lovely city of Brotherly Love against the Eagles.

As sad as the tragic death of Redskin safety Sean Taylor is.one question that I have wondered is this.
What was he doing in Miami in the first place?
I realize that he was injured,but shouldn't the Redskins have made sure he was rehabbing at the teams facility?
The season is going on,so wouldn't it make sense for the team to help him heal ASAP by having him there every day?
Just a thought (that I would wager) that more pro sports teams will be considering privately.

The main thing that is so sad about this is that from parties involved is the talented Taylor seemed to finally being able to get his career and personal life in order before this happened.
Sad all around......

Before anyone hands the MVP for this season to Tom Brady or Randy Moss,here is our vote.
If the Packers are the top seed in the NFC-my vote goes to Brett Favre.
Favre has been super this season and he doesn't have any offensive weapons to speak except for Donald Driver and Driver is no Moss.

Think the Packer front office have any regrets on not listening to Favre's pleadings to trade for Randy Moss now?
If that deal gets made,the Packers might be my pick to win it all.

Did not take long for Houston Nutt to pay back the boosters at Arkansas long for causing his problems at Arkansas.
Nutt beat the top team in the country,quit his job and returned at a division rival's head coacing job all in five days!
Nutt is now the boss of Ole Miss and will get a shot at the Hogs every year from here on out.
This looks like a possible disaster in the making for Arkansas.

Former Buckeye,Brown and NFL Hall of Famer Bill Willis passed away at 86.
Willis just had his number retired at Ohio State a few weeks back and that was great that the Buckeyes were able to do that for him before his death.

I have finished up on getting an interview done with Erik Arnesen for the blog.
If any of you have any questions that you would like me to ask Erik,LMK and I will do my best to get them asked.
Until later tonight or tomorrow with the Devils vs Stars and likely some baseball talk
