Power Ranking Bonanza

The first week of games is in the books, so you know what that means: POWER RANKINGS!!!

Notice a trend? We're #15 in 3 and #16 in the other having barely moved from where we started in the preseason. This is about fair. The 57 minutes of lackluster play were overshadowed by the frenzy of the last 3. But does anyone feel like they know more about this team than they did on Monday afternoon? Clearly the Nattering Nabobs don't and I can't say that I do either. What's clear is that the NFC is for the taking by damn-near anyone. Dr. Z (SI) has the Aints ranked a spot behind us. This may be slightly punitive but makes a point.

Aside from the Bears, not a single NFC team has reason to think it's a front-runner. The other conference favorite (Saints) got whooped on. The Cowboys gave up 35 points to a Jints team that needed a MASH unit by the end. The Eagles couldn't put away an over-the-hill Pack at Lambeau. The Lambs got handled by the Panthers. And the Seachickens hardly acquitted themselves in a lackluster win over a Bucs team that lost Cadillac Williams early. All I'm saying is, this conference is wide open. Granted whoever takes it will become a sacrificial lamb at the altar of the football gods. And one of this almighty and powerful trio will be holding the knife.

Although that may be down to two if The Commish comes down hard on the Pats for CHEATING LIKE A BUNCH OF BITCHES.

It's too bad for Belichick that T's a Jets fan - these gangsters deserve each other. Also Tony so much more style than Mr. Cutoff Hoodie that they can't be seen in public together.

Even the Sports Guy has removed his lips from Belichick's sphincter to vilify what the coach has done. And rightfully so. I'm pretty wound up (and kind of busy at work) so I'm going to defer my post on this to tomorrow.
