Well we are just ending week 3 of the fresh NFL Season, and what a load of crap it's been thus far. Don't get me wrong, the football has been great! It's everything off the field that is irritating.
We all know about Michael Vick and the dogfighting, I wrote a post about it a while back and of course all of the arrests that took place during the offseason. It was just nice to finally sit down and watch some football. So what happens during the very first game of the freaking season?!? The New England Patriots are caught video taping the Jets Defensive signs...seriously...the Jets??? This puts everything that the Pats have done over their dynasty years up in the air, did they video tape the Panthers during their Super Bowl? We'll never know, but as a Panther fan I'm saying Yes!!!
After that died down, we had Donovan McNabb come out and pull a race card. I seriously have a hard time believing that a privelaged African American kid that grew up to make millions upon millions of dollars is being more critized than Payton Manning. If he is, it's because he's not as good, not because he's black. Either way this is one more distraction in an otherwise great football season.
Lastly came DeAngelo Hall's antics against Steve Smith yesterday in the game that pit the number one receiver in the league against argueably the number one corner in the league. These two have always talked, but DeAngelo took it to another level. After a third down sack, DeAngelo started running his mouth to Steve, after the official intervened and broke it up, DeAngelo kept talking resulting in a 15 yard penalty and an automatic first down. Carolina went down and scored and won the game by a touchdown. Now I'm not saying that DeAngelo cost Atlanta the game, but it did not help the situation. Any momentum that might have been in Atlanta's favor was gone, and Carolina capitalized. By the way DeAngelo plays for Atlanta, the same team Michael Vick played for...maybe it is stupidity that they look for in players.
Regardless of the dumb ass antics off the field, and the trash talking on the field, the football has been great. I look forward to what the rest of the season has in store ON THE FIELD!!!
P.S.-GO UVA!!! Undefeated in the ACC!!!

My Illini are undefeated in the Big (ELEVEN) Ten, and very easily could be undefeated in the whole season. Actually, if comparative scoring works we could beat Louisville after the way Syracuse handled them and we destroyed the 'Cuse in the Carrier Dome.
