There was two undefeated teams coming into to NFL Week 9, but after the one o’clock games today there is now only one, the Indianapolis Colts. The Chicago Bears no longer are undefeated after being embarassed today in front of their home town fans against the Miami Dolphins. Jason Taylor forced a fumble and returned an interception for a touchdown to helo Miami stun the Bears 31-13. Ronnnie Brown controlled the ground game with 157 yards for the Fish. It’s bad enough the Bears no longer have an undefeated season, but it was ended by the previously 1-6 Dolphins. I think the spirits from the 1972 undefeated Dolphins team were in attendance at Soldier Field today.
Game Summary: Chicago Bears Upset by Dolphins
Is this guy for real? Pacman Jones of the Tennessee Titans and formerly of the West Virginia Mountaineers is so talented, but he could care less I think. He has already been in tons of trouble and today comes announcement of a one game suspension handed down by the NFL. The suspension comes after a disgusting display of actions Jones took against a 21 year old this past week. The young lady named Krystal Webb reported Pacman for an incident at a private party last Thursday at a nightclub. The police report states that Jones became verbally abusive and “spit a huge amount of mucus on Ms. Webb’s face and hair, which she preserved for evidence.” Dude, I know you get mad at your hoes, but do you have to resort to spitting?
Shawne Merriman has decided to drop his appeal against the four game suspension he received from the NFL due to testing positive to steroids. San Diego has to know playing without this stud outside linebacker will be a significant downgrade in one of the AFC’s better defenses. Merriman was appealing the suspension because he and his lawyer felt he ingested a tainted supplement. I am a Chargers fan and love to watch Merriman play, but Shawn…you took a tainted supplement??? Yes you did and it was only tainted because you shot it on your A$$! Stay away from the roids because you are too good.
Marcus Vick was recently added to the Dolphins roster after playing six weeks with the practice squad. “New Mexico” will more than likely be a reserve wide receiver and also return kicks for Miami. I am by no means a fan of Marcus, but he does have potential to be an Randle-El type player unless he decides to pull a gun again in a McDonald’s parking lot.
The word is that Tiki Barber will retire at the end of the year from the New York Giants. Tiki has played his entire career in New York and had close to 15,000 total yards and 62 touchdowns. I really respect a player going out on top rather than waiting until he withers away like some professional athletes. I think the one thing he might miss out on is the Hall of Fame. Read the article below for more on this topic.
We might finally be blessed with no longer hearing Lawrence Phillips name in the news now that he was sentenced to jail yesterday. Phillips faces 20 years in the clink for his role in driving his car onto a field in 2005 and running over people he was playing with in a pickup football game. He hit three people who were all teenagers and nearly hit three more because his team was losing the pickup game. Lawrence…a pickup game with teenagers??? This is the same man who repeatedly has been accused of beating women while playing with the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Miami Dolphins. Have fun in jail Lawrence because it’s one thing you truly deserve.
Sandy Sullivan a 65 year old republican is in a race for the secretary of state in Wisconsin and letting it all hang out. She is the author of “Green Bay Love Stories and Other Affairs” from 2004 that details her sexual escapades with specific Green Bay Packers from the Lombardi days. Sullivan is referencing it every chance she gets even on her campaign website. She claims to be the old girlfriend of Packer greats Paul Hornung and Dan Currie and called them “fast, sleek and clean.” Can this really win her the race for secretary of the state? I say if by chance she does then they really are cheeseheads in Wisconsin.
This week it was actually a close call between Jimmie Johnson and Terrell Owens for our prestigious award. Jimmie Johnson appeared to take out Dale Earnhardt Jr. on purpose yesterday at Talladega therefore pretty much eliminating any chances of “Little E” winning the Nextel Cup. While we would love to give the award to anyone associated within the “Rainbow Warrior” entourage we can’t do it this week. Terrell “Overdose” Owens ends up taking the cake as the Dumba$$ of this week. TO after much hoopla and smack talk rolled into Philly yesterday as a Dallas Cowboy and laid an egg. Owens had no catches at halftime and ended up with 3 for 45 yards while his arch enemy Donovan McNabb went off for 354 yards and a big 38-24 win for the Philadelphia Eagles. Hat tip McNabb and thumbs down Owens.
