So we have just finished off week five of the NFL season, so what have we learned. Let’s start with a team that is more incompetent then the group of prosecutors who let O.J. Simpson walk on a double homicide charge; the Detroit Lions.
The Rams should hang their heads in some sort of eternal shame for not only losing to the Detroit Lions, but being absolutely destroyed by the guys in Honolulu Blue and Silver. While it is true that Detroit has some very potent pieces on offense, and perhaps the most dangerous and underrated defensive line in the NFL, only scoring 6 points on a secondary that couldn’t stop Boy George is some sort of mortal sin.
Speaking of mortal sins, has anyone heard any good jokes about Brett Favre lately? After the photos he allegedly sent to an alleged New York Jets sideline reporter showing that he is allegedly only qualified for plays that include very short passes, this should be a guy who just turns to dust from embarrassment. On top of that he proved that his shortcomings are not just the ones in his pants. At the end of the game, with his team three points behind and one of the most potent (a word Favre is not personally acquainted with) receivers in the NFL at his disposal, what does this mediocre QB do? He throws an interception that the other team runs back for a TD. Game over.
Finally we come to the perplexing question of “America’s Team”; the Dallas Cowboys. At the moment they are playing more like Mexico’s team. Pundits and football fans were already reserving the NFC slot in the Superbowl for the Cowboy’s, but as a testament to why teams actually play the game, the guys from Dallas have not lived up to their pre-season hype. At the moment, the Rams (a team that only won 2 games last year) have a better record than them. There in-state rival, the Houston, Texans (a team with only one winning season in its history) have a better record than them. The final indictment is that they have the same number of wins as the Detroit Lions. When you are sharing the same consolatory beer as the guys from the motor city, you know things are bad. Anyway, that is probably the most interesting bits from this past weekend’s NFL action.
