The Dominator has bolted out of the gate after the first game of the season! Riding the graceful running of "Fast" Willie Parker and Ronnie "My College Teammate Got Nicknamed Cadillac and I Got Nothing" Brown, he shot to the top of the leaderboard with 30.5 points. The Spongebobs, on the strength of the Steelers D, sit second with 14 points, and the Dragons, riding the arm of Daunte Culpepper are third with 10.14 points. The Cyhawks and Plan Z had nobody involved in last night's riveting opener and are still waiting to make a dent in the scoreboard.
I didn't see much of the game last night, but did catch part of the halftime show. A few things were evident. 1) Jerome Bettis could carry Bob Costas around in his breast pocket; 2) Sterling Sharpe talks about himself only slightly less than Rick Barry (meaning only 97% of the time); and, 3) NBC lets Costas sit in one of those enourmous Dr. Phil chairs, while the rest of the crew has to sit on the little stools the SF Giants give to their balldudes. If Costas doesn't realize that America knows he's barely bigger than the average 3rd grader, letting him sit a foot above everyone else only drives the point home further.
The real scoring starts on Sunday, so park it in front of the TV and root, root, root for your guys. Then you can call Grant and Lamb on Monday afternoon and run some of your potential transactions by them, just to see what some "experts" think about your football accumen. Be careful, though, because it specifically states in their contracts that they have to put the Raiders above all else. Just because they might tell you Aaron Brooks is a better all around QB than Tom Brady, well that doesn't mean it's true. Likewise, if you see the Raiders give up 45 points to the Chargers on Monday night, hearing Artie Gigantino come on and say "except for a couple of missed tackles and blown assignments, the Raiders really shut that team down", doesn't mean you should drop your D and pick up the Silver and Black.
May your teams score many points and not leave you kicking yourself for leaving the wrong guy on the bench.
