Man, this season needs to slow down. Week 2 is already in the rear-view mirror, and the Jets are already in full-choke mode. Eli is still stuck on the struggle bus, and Roger Goodell is still on the hot seat. Here's what stood out for us this week.
Adrian Peterson Indicted on Charges of Child Abuse:
Yet another blemish on the NFL record. The world did learn a few things. White America learned what a "switch" is, and Black America learned that the entire black population suffered from parental abuse...who knew? Not to defend the whooping AP put on his son, but godammit, if this is the straw that makes Condoleezza Rice the new NFL Commissioner, I will never forgive you Mr. Peterson...NEVER!
Jets' Assistant Gives The Packers a Gift:
It's 4th and 4. The Jets are down by 7 to Green Bay with a little under 5 minutes left to play. Quarterback Geno Smith steps back and and connects with Jeremy Kerley on a 37 yard touchdown pass. And the crowd goes wild! Wait, no, they're playing in Green Bay and the Jets' dumb-ass offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg called a timeout right before the ball was hiked, nullifying the TD. The Packers go on to win. On the bright side, Rex Ryan can't be blamed for this one. I still like to blame Mark Sanchez.
Huge Upsets:
My Bears beat the Niners. The Browns beat the Saints. The Chargers beat the Seahawks. Is the league leveling out? Nope, wait, the Giants and the Raiders still suck. Carry on.
Big Dogs Go Down:
Nope, that's not the working title of Michael Vick's memoirs. Week 2 saw some big offensive weapons go down with injuries. Jamaal Charles, RGIII, Mark Ingram, and AJ Green are some heavy-hitters that headline this list. The waiver wires in fantasy leagues across the nation are showing more movement this week than the Nasdaq. Stay tuned.
Godspeed, Peanut:
Charles Tillman, possibly the greatest defensive back in Chicago Bears' history, re-tore the same bicep he had surgically repaired last season, tragically ending his 2014 NFL campaign. It's too early to say, but many believe this injury might possibly end his career. From his facial expressions on the sidelines Sunday night, it looks like Peanut sees the curtain closing too.
I would like to take this time to say thank you to the originator of the "Peanut Punch" for 11 seasons of not only inspiring play on the field, but inspiring and charitable work off the field. You will be missed on the gridiron #33.
The games re-up on Thursday with the Atlanta Falcons hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 'Til next week my friends. You're welcome.
