Anyone notice that the guy leading the Skysports fantasy league's name is Sean Boylan, and his team name is Meath.

Great win for the Falcons today, lucky but so what. mike smith's play calling still a bit strange at times but we got the win, beat the champs and are in a good position to win the NFC South as the Bucs and Panthers are looking poor enough.

Should have an easy win next week anyway juice the way things are going

Chargers fumbling.

ONeill · September 26, 2010, 11:09:58 PM

17-0 down. Nightmare. Fumbles.

ONeill · September 27, 2010, 12:19:32 AM

20-20. 6 mins left.

Last last play saw Rivers throw a TD only for it to be overruled, so he threw another one. Then he threw for a 2-point conversion - got it - overruled - got it again.

Seattle return the punt for a 99-yard TD!

20-27.

ONeill · September 27, 2010, 12:36:38 AM

Still 20-27. 2 mins. Seattle pinned back.

ONeill · September 27, 2010, 12:38:18 AM

Last play probably. Chargers around midfield. First down. 90 seconds.

ONeill · September 27, 2010, 12:43:05 AM

Feck...the one Raiders' player you can usually rely on as well

Nevada ranked in AP Poll for first time since 1948

Big news in Nevada this weekend for sure. I don't care what AZ says about the Nevada WAC schedule - going into BYU and coming out with a win is a big statement for a smaller school. 4-0 - hopefully no slip ups (especially against Vegas) and thanksgiving weekend in Reno against Boise should be a cracker with both teams perhaps undefeated.

While its nice to have that national ranking - I am sure the team knows it can count for shag all unless you build on it.

Massive win for da Bears on Monday night. Only 3-0 side in the NFC and a crucial win against a division rival. Still no running game but the D is looking like its old self (even if I lost worried pre-game and changed horses this week in fantasy - luckily it didn't cost me). Brian Urlacher was some loss last season, awesome and Peppers is a huge addition.

Big game next week at NYG. Neither team will be able to run the ball in that one either so should be a contest between Culter and Manning and the opposing defenses.

I'm neither a GB or Bears fan but frig it was a great game to watch. Have some mates flying over later this year to go to the Bears Vikings (think its nov) in Chicago.

I expect the Bears to beat the NYG - all in all its been a very interesting opening 3 weeks!!!

thejuice · October 02, 2010, 10:36:42 AM

Jees the 49ers are in a bad way, and just at the right time too!!!

Singletary fired his OC and will be running the Offence himself this weekend. I was worried about a backlash from them this week but with that news, that backlash might take a while yet.

Puckoon · October 04, 2010, 01:40:30 AM

Ahem. 5-0 and #21 in the nation...

Not bad on a WAC schedule AZ?

The Iceman · October 04, 2010, 01:54:00 AM

College football was immense this weekend. First season really watching it and I'm addicted.
