So, those first two games were good... right?

Hmm. Maybe if you like:

1) listening to Joe Theismann talk to himself for 3 hours, all the while making outrageous claims like, "I know LaVarr Arrington is coming back to the Redskins next year... you could just tell he was excited to be a Redskin" and, "Tampa just put together a real solid drive, although it was only for 27 yards" and, "didn't Mike Carey do an excellent job explaining that challenge review? Mike Carey did a great job explaining that the ruling on the field stood. We don't compliment the refs enough for clearly explaining their thought process";

2) Steve Young scowling at half-time, and within 1 hour stating both, "you can't win in the playoffs with only 120 yards of offense," and, "if Washington keeps playing like this, I believe they will knock-off the Seahawks next week";

3) Al Michaels and John Madden not mentioning how idiotic it was for Belicheck to have Brady, Dillon, Vrabel, and McGinest anywhere near the playing field when up by 28-3 and under 6 minutes left;

4) ABC not being able to find out anything during both games in regards to:
a. why Sean Taylor's was ejected;
b. why Clinton Portis was not playing for large portions of the game;
c. why Teddy Bruschi was not playing:
d. why Corey Dillon did not start.

5) Really, really, bad offensive football played in Tampa;

6) Really, really boring offensive football played in Foxboro (thanks, FT).

7) Oh, I almost forgot... Chris Simms being complimented by Theismann for showing up Carlos Rogers as Simms ran out-of-bounds. Seriously folks, if that is Randy Moss and Joe Buck is calling the game, Joe Buck's face woulda started melting like the evil character from Raiders of the Lost Ark, before his entire head spontaneously exploded. But when it is a Super Bowl winning, former New York QB, and member of the Press Community's son (ehem Phil Simms), showing up an opposing player gets a compliment? Double Standard? Uh, you think?

Just think if someone would have criticized young Chris? Last time that happened, Phil threatened said announcer (i.e. Steve Young) with a lifetime living together arrangement. This time? Maybe threaten the announcer by making him his partner in the booth? Torture, anyone? I mean, talking to Phil Simms must be like talking to your new barber for the first time. I mean, you can hang-in there for about 4-5 minutes through the haircut, but after that you are either rehashing material you already talked about, or talking about where you bought your new socks. Except, Phil Simms would even find a way to make that more boring. Besides, he doesn't even buy his own socks. He probably just has Steve Young fetch him a pair.

This just in: Sean Salisbury said Chris Simms was the offensive player of the weekend on ESPN. Hmm. All he did was turn the ball over twice, including the game clinching INT.

Great. Now Stuart Scott is on NFL Prime Time with Sean Salisbury. The best part about this is that Sean will completely change the way he talks when he is around Stuart Scott. If they could just add Stephen A. Smith to the format, they would have all three of the most annoying personalities from ESPN at once. Well that, and if they cut-away to Sal Paolantonio about the turmoil in the Eagles organization. I mean, does Sal Paolantonio report on anything but the Eagles? And what is with ESPN solely relying upon a Philly pipeline for its personalities?
