What Do I Think I Learned on NFL Week 2 Sunday

• You must check your fantasy football teams when a hurricane hits an NFL city.  oops!
• Darren McFadden is every bit as good as we thought he was.  164 yards rushing and a TD in shared duty.
• The Raiders are going to see a lot of blitzes being run at Zach Miller.  Those blitzes will keep the only receiver JaMarcus Russell has confidence in as a blocker instead of a receiver running his route.
• Mike Shannahan's deal with the devil is paying dividends again.  First the replay system failed at the most opportune moment and then the premature whistle on the Cutler fumble.
• Guess the NFL hasn't stopped all of the electronic cheating Denver.  Strange how the replay system works when it's -20 and snowing in Green Bay, but can't work on a nice clear day in Denver?
• The Seattle Seaturkeys fooled all of us. They really suck.
• Reggie Bush still has a little growing up to do as a football player.  I bet the wave seemed really stupid while sitting on that charter flight back to the Big Easy.
• The Marvin Lewis coached Bengals have re-taken their position as the Bungles.
• Rob Ryan learned blitzing bad teams works really well.
• Michael Bush is going to be a stud, 90 yards in short duty.
• Justin "Huggy Bear" Fargas while always be a part time player.  I mean no knock on him, but he takes a pounding and breaks his body.
• Someone outside of the Raider Nation remembers that Ray Guy was a great punter.  Thanks Deion Sanders.
• Ocho Cinco is only making news for his botched name change, not his play on the field.
• People who said Miami was now seven wins better sound a lot like the same people who picked them to win the AFC three years ago.
• I think Matt Ryan learned it may not be as easy as he thought it was last week.
• LT is the league MVP.  The Chargers without LT look like a quite average team.
• Brett Favre completed 18 of 26 for 181 yards and 1 TD and 1 INT.  Not scintillating.  3000 overeager Jets fans are trying to get refunds for the plane tickets that they bought from Newark to Tampa on the first weekend in Feb.
• Since you might be curious... Aaron Rodgers threw 24 completions on 38 attempts, 328 yards, 3 TDs and no INTs.  The Packers offense looks as crisp as ever.  Happy now Packer fan?
• The two stud QBs from the '05 Rose Bowl game between SC & Texas are going to have a hard time getting their starting jobs back.  Leinart is going to be seeing many snaps when Kurt Warner goes 19/24 for 361 yards and 3 TDs.  Young's challenges are well documented and while his fill-in Kerry Collins didn't light up the stadium on a windy day, the Titans did win and you're momma was fibbing when she told you it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game...  it's all about the wins.
• Rams coach Scott Linehan is ready for a job on Fox or CBS.  Not ready for his job with the Rams though.
• You have been sitting pretty comfortable betting the over on games involving the Rams.
• I found a market in Sacramento that sells Coopers Sparkling Ale from Australia.  It's brewed in Adelaide, where it gets screaming hot in the summer and has a wonderfully crisp flavor on a warm day.  I'm not telling you which one, because I don't want them to run out, but if you're a foodie in Sacramento, you know where I am talking about.
• When I think I have the Bears figured out and am ready to put them back into the chase, they show me I have no frickin' clue.
• Dan Patrick & Keith Olbermann on NBC have gotten old & boring compared to the Big Show days.
• Detroit Lions president Matt Millen, great linebacker, shit personnel guy.  How do you have all of these first round draft pick wide receivers and Jon Kitna at QB?
• DeAngelo Hall got all the guaranteed money and Nnamdi Asomugha got the dreaded franchise tag.  Which one is playing better?  Asomugha.
• Hey Buckeye Fan... you think Beanie Wells would have made any difference Saturday Night?
• Regardless of the 35-3 ass whooping that Ohio State got handed, they will still win the Big Ten.  Seeing Wisconsin escape by their fingernails in Fresno last night and the disaster in Ann Arbor, OSU will still finish 11-1, win the conference and have a better shot at the BCS Title Game than an 11-1 USC team would.  That's why the BCS is a fuck-up.
• It must take a lot for Kirk Herbstreit's head to explode, because it should have been while he was in the press box at the LA Coliseum last night.
• All teams that play in stadiums with retractable roofs should be required to have the roof open on game days unless there is precipitation or sub-freezing weather.  If the roof is closed all the time, why did you bother with the extra-millions for the retractable roof?  And we're supposed to be sympathetic to the owners complaints that building these
  new stadiums is really expensive when they add an extra $100 million to the cost of the building for a feature they don't use?
  
  
• NBC must be considering Michael Phelps for a prime time show of his own.  A new meaning to Must See TV.  Tomorrow, MSNBC will helicopters up over Cleveland covering his drive home to Baltimore.  Phelps will also be doing a segment with financial news hottie Erin Burnett & Jim Cramer on CNBC.
