NFL Sunday Wrap-up - Week One

Well, the first week of the NFL 2007-2008 season is all but concluded, and its time to review the first sabbath day of our holy sport of god-emperors....
....
LaDainian Tomlinson was held to a relatively quiet game by the Chicago Bears defense on Sunday, which would have been a tremendous accomplishment had he not finally broken out in the last stages of the game to score his first running touchdown of the season. Additionally, L.T. threw for a touchdown, but was held to only 25 rushing yards.
....
Randy Moss returned to old form in the Patriots defeat of the Jets on Sunday, amassing 183 receiving yards and a touchdown as Tom Brady and the Patriots trounced the Jets, 38 - 14.
....
Three games were concluded by a last-play field goal, as the Broncos overcame the Bills at the finish for a 15 - 14 victory; Washington bested Miami, 16 - 13; and Green Bay thankfully broke the Eagles hearts, 16 - 13, as well.
....
Finally, the New York Giants held on for as long as possible Sunday night against the Cowboys, despite several key injuries. Eventually, however, they succumbed in a game that showcased both New York's and Dallas' lack of defense, losing the game 45 - 35. Starting running back, Brandon Jacobs, as well as quarterback, Eli Manning, were both knocked out of the game, and will have announcements made on their conditions sometime today or tomorrow.
.....
The John Mellancamp song, "This is Our Country", was played a total of 13 times thus far this season.
.....
John Madden has attracted two small moons into orbit around his waistline thus far this season.
.....
So, rounding it up, with total scores to follow, week one was as nutty as it always tends to be. Both my Giants and Bills got themselves beat, but both the Chargers and Colts confirmed that they are still forces to reckoned with in the AFC. Which, of course, only provides me with the solace that they may beat the Patriots later this year when it matters. Oh, how fun football is when you're only option is to follow it purely for fantasy football reasons, and hoping to see the Pats and Eagles lose as often as possible. And later, when you're watching the inexplicable Superbowl matchup of the Pats and Eagles, look for a crazed, naked fan running in at the kickoff to detonate a large, pressurized canister strapped to his chest and filled with 63 gallons of human excrement. Boom! Touch Actin' Tinactin!
