Hail to the Chiefs

That's very likely the song the Redskins will be singing if they give their third team its first win of the season. The Lions and Panthers each have one win and the Chiefs are looking for their first. The Jim Zorn job watch is officially on right now.

Man, what a weekend we have in football. The 'Boys are off but there area still plenty of great games, including the Red River Shootout between Texas and Oklahoma. That heated rivalry is as hot as ever, especially since the Longhorns were clearly the better team, knocking of the Sooners 45-35 a year ago and some computers ran numbers together and some how Oklahoma was got to be embarrassed against the Gators in the final game of the year.

I think the Longhorns have had enough. Colt McCoy should have won the heisman last year and his team should have been in the national championship. Now, the Longhorns want to prove themselves worthy. Not to mention it's not going to be easy for OU without Bradford lined up behind center. TEXAS WINS.

Alright fine, so I'm a homer, but that doesn't neglect the fact the Longhorns beat the Sooners last year 45-35 and they're going to do the same this year.

It's going to be an emotional game for the already emotional Jeremy Shockey as the Saints host his former team, the New York Giants. Shockey, one of the most overrated and most vocal tightends in the history of the NFL has recently made remarks about how much he hated the Big Apple. Maybe he should call that receiver in Buffalo and ask for his help to write a book. Someone's up for the drama queen award.

Shockey aside, I have a strong hunch the Saints are going to win this game. Brees and Manning have both been putting up ridiculous numbers but in the end, I say New Orleans comes away with the victory but it's going to be their defense that makes the difference. No, I've got nothing to back that up but like I said, I just have a hunch.

Oh by the way, early congratulations are in order for Matt Cassel on his first victory with his new team.
