--JS has some good insight here. Does NU stand a chance against Texas with a 'faster Joe Dailey' at QB? Taylor Martinez has a long way to go to be Eric Crouch. A long way backward. The only reason to aspire to be Crouch is if you want to put your name in the hat as the most overrated, selfish player in Nebraska history who couldn't win big games.
--Brooks Conrad wins the Jake Opitz award for Worst Time for Whiffing on a Routine Ground Ball. Worse than the error here, is the fact that he forced his team to call Kyle Farnsworth in from the bullpen. Ike Cox looks to be going out of another playoff series with a whimper...
--Dallas' Cowgirls go to 1-3, while Kevin Kolb leads Philly's Birds to a share of first place. Questions: How the fuck do Wade Phillips and Alexis Smith still have their respective jobs? Tony Romo didn't help Phillips' cause, who again lacked the ability to make game-winning plays despite throwing for more than 400 yards. You can also add Jason Witten to the dumbass list, for his hand in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty that sparked Tennessee's game-winning score.
--The Max Hall era has begun in AZ. Sure, his numbers weren't great, but he showed a knack to get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald in big situations (despite the Cardinals' #2 and #3 WRs being out) and obviously had the respect of his teammates after taking a couple nasty hits and staying in the game.
--And Philip Rivers adds another signature game to his anthology. More than 400 yards passing but enough bad plays to lose the game to the Oakland Raiders. Is it January already?
--Nebraska -8 over Texas Saturday. Bettors, load up. Stay tuned.
