2010 September Joxygen
Arkansas had a 13 point lead on the number one team in the country and blew it. Yes you are playing the best team in the country defending their title with the defending Heisman winner, but if you are any type of good team with asupposed Heisman candidate at QB who is gonna be a first rounder next year, you do not blow that lead. Alabama is a great team and it is tough to stop from getting two touchdowns, but you gotta put some points on the board Mallett.
The Texas Longhorns got blasted by UCLA over the weekend. UCLA dropped a 34 spot on the Horns while holding them to just 12 points. Texas lost McCoy to the NFL but that does not excuse the 6 year old girl fight they put up against UCLA. The Longhorn season is over now in terms of any hope of a National Title now.
Tom Brady knocking down a pass late in the 4th quarter. This play got overlooked by everyone including the announcers doing the Patriots Bills game. It did not end up meaning anything but it very well could have. With just over 3 minutes left in the game the Patriots set up a short pass on 4th and long to try and pick up some extra yards to get a better punt off. The Bills are down 8 and are getting the ball back for one final attempt at a game tying drive. Brady threw a pass that got blocked by the D line and right back to him. Instead of catching the pass then running or even just taking a knee to keep the clock going and forcing the Bills to take their final time out, he bats it down and stops the clock. Now, the clock is stopped before the punt and the Bills have a very helpful time out in the pocket. With little time left the Bills need to save as much time as they need.
Leon Washington had two spectacular kick off returns for touchdowns in a win vs the slow starting San Diego Chargers. Two out of the three touchdowns the Seahawks scored, including the game winner, were these two kick off returns. The Hawks offense did not do too much so Washington bailed them out to get the win.
The Texas Rangers are in the playoffs. It has been 11 years since October has hosted the Rangers. The AL West has been dominated by the Angels for a while now. The Rangers used surprisingly good pitching a an always special offense on their way to a division title that cultivated over the weekend.
Anquan Boldin was a fantasy hero this weekend and more importantly a Baltimore hero in a win over the Cleveland Browns. Boldin racked up 143receivingyards and all three of Baltimore touchdowns on Sunday. Iowa charged back while everyone was sleeping thinking they got smoked, and tied the game late in the 4th quarter. Arizona took the lead with about 2 minutes left to play. Iowa had to make one drive to keep their BCS championship hopes alive. Instead, they got NFL Blitzed for 4 straight sacks to start the drive. The first came on 3 straight heavy blitzes and the final sack on 4th down came on a 4 man rush.
The Patriots second half vs the Jets resulted in 3 turnovers, no points, and very little yards. After one half of football the Patriots lead the Jets 14 10 and appeared to have no problem moving the ball on offense. Moss made an amazing touchdown grab, Welker was catching passes, and the running game was looking respectable. Once both teams came out of the tunnel for the second half things changed. Brady threw a carer high 6 straight completions including two interceptions and fumbled away a last gasp effort to make a comeback in the red zone.
The Colorado Rockies blew an early 61 lead to the Dodgers and lost in extras 76. The Rockies are in the middle of a playoff race for both the division and the wild card. They can not afford to let games get away from them at this point in the season. Every game and every inning counts. The off season could be a long and dreadful one for the Rockies if this game causes them to miss the playoffs.
Troy Tulowitzki is having the best month baseball has ever seen. In his last 16 games Tulo has whacked 14 home runs and is making a late charge at the MVP. Tulo hit three of those 14 HRs over the weekend to keep the Rockies in the playoff hunt. It is sad that so many people are in NFL and College football mode right now because the Giants, Padres, and Rockies are in quite the late season battle and Tulo is doing something you may never see again.
Jahvid Best had a week one and NFL debut to forget last week vs the Bears but more than made up for it on Sunday. Jahvid had 78 rush yards and 2 TDs to go along with 154 recieving yards and a 75 yard receiving TD. If Best can perform any where near this on a weekly basis, the Lions look to have quite the future with Stafford, Johnson, and Best on the offensive side of the ball. Jahvid did all he could do in a tough loss to the Eagles.
Michael Vick got his first start in the NFL since 2006. Boy did he take advantage of it. Not only did Vick make highlight www.shopcoltsnfljersey.com/WOMENS-MATT-HASSELBECK-JERSEY.html play after highlight play teaming up with DeSean Jackson, he also put together a 21 for 34 for 284 yard day in the air for 2 TDs and 37 yards on the ground. Vick did all he could to take over the Eagles in a victory on Sunday. ding! I mean their and Worst of the weekend portion of the show. I ll do three of each.
The fact that Calvin Johnson potential game winning Touch down was not ruled a catch and allowed the Bears to hold on for the victory. Everyone has seen the play by now and most agree that Calvin made a nice grab. Yes I guess the odd and newly implemented rule was followed in this case but the rule doesnt really seem to work when you look at the play and you know its a catch. Rules are supposed to be implemented to make sure the right thing is happening or call is made. Does not make sense to have a rule that goes against common sense.
Tashard Choice getting the ball stripped from him on the final play of the first half on Sunday Night. In a low scoring battle, DeAngelo Hall stripped Choice and then took one to the house as time expired. The Cowboys had their video game hats on while deciding to go for a last second hail Womens Matt Hasselbeck Jersey mary of sorts that resulted in a dump down to the Cowboys rb. The Skins would never find the end zone again and didn need to as they held on for a 13 7 victory.
Virginia Tech losing to Division II James Madison. James Madison is a pretty good football program, for division II. Virginia Tech is dangerously close to making what is now a verydisappointingseason into a potential program hurting season. Va Tech has to regain its swagger and go on a win streak in the coming weeks. A BCS bowl is still very possible. Va Tech needs to focus on the ACC and winning that conference.
Denard Robinson torching my Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Although he was slowed down for most of the second half, he commanded a last minute drive to send the Wolverines to 20. Robinson totaled over 500 yards of offense and should Michigan continue to win, is a heavy favorite for the early season Heisman.
Arian Foster and the Texans absolutely dominated the Colts on the ground on their way to a statement in division win on Sunday. Arian Foster rattled off 231 yards and 3 TDs as the Texans did everything perfect to open up huge running lanes for their new star in the making. The Colts rush D is definately something that needs to be fixed or they are going to have a hard time beating anyone. The Colts should be fine as long as they have Peyton but that D has got to make some changes quick.
