I like Javhid Best, but how many carries can he handle?

I think Suh will be a star too. He may not get 12 sacks or anything crazy like that, but he’s going to soak up blockers and still get a push up the middle.

Rimbo:

The real problem the Lions have, though, is that they’re in the same division as the Vikings and Packers.

FTFY.

Mark Asher:

Heh. It struck me as odd that the passenger wasn’t identified by gender. And now after looking at a few other stories elsewhere, there’s no mention of a passenger. Maybe the story linked to is wrong.

It wasn’t a passenger, it was a pedestrian that fell down trying to avoid the accident.

And that Audi looks like an R8, which is pretty awesome.

Hope everyone is alright. The passenger in the minivan had to be taken out with the jaws of life, and is in ‘serious’ condition.

If Suh doesn’t wind up getting half of his games suspended for killing people on the field that is…

Ha ha – yeah, he tried to see how far Delhomme’s neck could twist before his head popped off.

Maybe he’s a closet Browns fan and was merely trying to help.

Matt_Perkins · 2010-09-09T15:30:06.000Z

KISS says Mr. Bowyer is obviously right.

Cubit · 2010-09-09T17:42:23.000Z

Here we go, boys!

Peterson is looking pretty good tonight. Favre is meh so far - nothing awful; nothing great.

Saints had a great first drive, since then it doesn’t seem like they’re moving quite as effectively.

sinfony · 2010-09-09T18:51:53.000Z

It’s so good to see Favre throw an interception. That, plus the finally-reasonable weather, makes it feel like autumn again.

jeffd · 2010-09-09T18:53:30.000Z

Haha yeah.

Minnesota’s defense has really stepped it up though. NBC just threw up some stats - the first drive went for 77 yards; since then New Orleans has gained 68 yards.

Yeah, it looked like the Saints were going to blow the Vikes out of the building early for awhile there. Instead we are getting a much better game.

jeffd · 2010-09-09T19:21:44.000Z

The Saints offense has really settled down in the second half. They’re able to run the ball effectively on this latest drive (so far); which they couldn’t do at all in the first half.

Omniscia · 2010-09-09T19:39:25.000Z

Holy $&@!, Ray Rice just blew up Saturn.

Sarkus · 2010-09-09T19:45:07.000Z

This is Drew Brees fifth season in New Orleans. He was the MVP of the Superbowl last year.

How many times do the announcers think we need to hear the story of how he went from San Diego to New Orleans instead of Miami?

Jeesh.

Matt_Bowyer · 2010-09-09T19:55:44.000Z

I really like how dumb they made Miami sound. Sure, Miami made the wrong call, but Drew did have his shoulder ripped up in that last game. Did Cris mention that? Noooooo.

Omniscia · 2010-09-09T20:05:09.000Z

Woooooooow, Hartley is blowing it tonight. Super Bowl hangover?

Matt_Bowyer · 2010-09-09T20:06:52.000Z

Someone’s going to be jobhunting Monday.

seventimessix · 2010-09-09T20:10:08.000Z

New Orleans is now double and triple teaming Shianco. I guess I’ll have to be happy with his 13 fantasy points and the knowledge that I currently have the best TE in the league.

robsam · 2010-09-09T20:13:14.000Z

I’m just glad the college game and US Open match are over so I can devote my full attention to this game.

It’s gonna be great to see the ‘ol gunslinger fling the ball around and watch him play the game because he just loves slingin’ the ball around and playin’ the game.
