Some Thoughts on Opening Night...

Friday, September 9, 2005 | Jeff

Please, lose the bands next year and start the game at 8:00. I don't need to listen to Mick Jagger's ragged bones singing START ME UP to get me bumped for the football season. I've been waiting eight months.

Was John Madden brutal last night or what? Did he have any idea what teams were playing? He did three minutes on Derrick Burgess before realizing Burgess wasn't on the field for the play.

Enough with the wristbands.

Are they seriously planning to do that Tim McGraw thing every week? Other than the one cute chick behind the bar who mouths I LIKE IT and gives me a serious hard-on...it sucked.

Tom Brady is just getting better and better. This might be the year he has the numbers to go with the ring.

Did you see how old the coordinators are for the Patriots now? They're a combined 29 years. Is Bellichick growing these guys in a little green house in his backyard?

Saying Kerry Collins has had "a little problem" with fumbling is like saying Hitler had "a little problem" with Jews.

I think Paul Tagliabue has three numbers on his speed-dial. (1) God (2) The President (3) Rodney Harrison's accountant.

I have to say it. Now that he's not on the Vikings, I found myself seriously rooting for Randy Moss.

FOOTBALL NOTE: The Raiders switching to a 4-3 was a terrific move. Go Ravens and put the two big bodies, Washington and Sapp, right up the gut. Unfortunately this team doesn't have the linebackers to really capitalize.

Tim Dwight catching touchdown passes makes me smile.

I knew Hitler would make an appearance on this blog...I didn't think it would be this early.
