Are You Ready For Some Football?

Tonight's game is Payton vs Eli (Colts vs Giants). Archie will see one of the boys win tonight!

It must be tough on him, but it only happens once every 4 years. They showed Archie and his wife waiting for & consoling Eli after the game... and I have to admit that we were making a few jokes about him saying "Dad! Peyton is picking on me again!"

One thing I noticed, though... during the pre-game and during the game, they mentioned more than a few times that there is (was) an older brother who was a running back in college, but suffered a career ending injury. You never see him, though. Wonder why?

Dallas is 0-2 (w00t!), but the 'Skins blew a 17 point lead to lose to the Texans by a FG in OT. Watch out for those guys (Houston) ... Schaub put up over 500 yards passing today against a pretty decent defense, and they have some serious talent on that squad. McNabb threw for well over 400 yards, and still managed a loss. So much for his 16th comeback victory ...

The Eagles may end up regretting their decision to push McNabb out the door.

I think the big surprise is the Steelers going 2 - 0 with a crappy offense and mediocre quarterbacks. The predictions were that they'd be 2 - 2 by the time the bye week & Baby Ben's suspension were up. And as expected, with the offense sputtering, Baby Ben's indiscretions are quickly being conveniently forgotten because they need him back at QB... feh

That has to be incredibly difficult on him (Cooper). He sees Peyton and Eli with all the fame and glamor and likely dwells on what could have been, would you want to be there?

Thankfully both my sister and I are equally unsuccessful, so I have nothing to live up to.

By the way, who names their children Cooper, Peyton, and Eli? You figure Sarah Palin might know the Mannings?

Thank you, for some reason I couldn't remember Cooper's name.

I don't know if he dwells on it or not. Can't say I'd blame him if it did. For all we know, he may simply not wish to be in the limelight anymore, but he's there cheering his brothers on. If I were in his circumstances, I'd like to think that I'd be doing that.
