I haven't been keeping as close tally as to how my predictions have been faring, but I was 3-6 this week. The surprise to me was how close most of these games were. The Bengals have won 4 of their last 5 games... were did that come from? Denver is 5-0??? That game was a great game to watch. I loved all the plays the Jets and Dolphins threw at each other. It was also fun to watch. That wildcat offense kept things pretty interesting a few times. Why don't teams do stuff like that more often? It is good for the game and so fun to watch!
I am distressed by all the unnecessary and unbelievable coverage regarding Rush Limbaugh and his bidding on the Rams. Details at this point, to me, are pointless. The smearing of his name and frank out and out lies about what he said are insane. These so called quotes were posted on his Wikipedia page from a single, unsourced blogger. The media, who really don't even know what true journalism is, took it as gospel truth and ran with it. But beyond all that, Limbaugh is a private citizen who has any right as anyone to bid and potentially own a NFL team. My blood really started to boil when I start reading "black NFL players against Limbaugh" articles who throw quotes that are out of context or not even true. Jason Whitlock, who is really is a whiner more than a reporter, wrote an embarrassing column for FoxSports about how Limbaugh is doing this for a publicity stunt. Most of these people don't listen to Limbaugh cuz he's *gasp* conservative and therefore don't get what he's saying nor do they care. As long as they can report their ugly, scathing "news", who cares who the source is, right? In the mean time, we won't bring up President Obama's skeletons, Pelosi's skeletons... cuz they're on "our" side. The frank media bias is sickening and when they drag it into the sports arena, I start to get worried. Let Limbaugh's peers decide if he is able to go into partnership of owning a NFL team. If these so called journalists would look at this objectively, they'd see he is a brilliant businessman, and most of the people who started working for him in the late '80s, are still with him... and many of them are black. WEIRD!
