- It may be time to harping on the fact that Tony Romo is 0-2 in the playoffs, and a particularly disastrous 0-2 at that. Not since the early years of Peyton Manning’s career have we had the opportunity to label someone a choker with such a small amount of evidence. Tony Romo is physically incapable of winning a playoff game.
- After Billy Volek led the San Diego Chargers to victory against the Indianapolis Colts, Philip Rivers got into a shouting match with some Colts fans. And so, even though Rivers actually had a pretty good game, he still came off looking like a complete jackass.
- Phil Luckett, of the coin-flip infamy, again returned to the spotlight, as he nullified an Antonio Cromartie return for a touchdown with a phantom holding call. (The person who was being blocked was actually doing the holding.) Luckily for him, the Chargers prevailed.
- The Terrell Owens cry-fest seemed hollow to me, or at least unlikely, especially when he let go this little gem of irony.
It’s really unfair. That’s my teammate. That’s my quarterback. You guys do that, it’s not fair. We lost as a team. We lost as a team, man.
Does anyone else picture Donovan McNabb and Jeff Garcia standing jaws agape upon hearing that soundbite?
- The Patriots and Packers both looked very, very, very good in ways completely unsurprising.
- The Chargers have a remarkable amount of depth at running back for a team that does not split time at the running back position.

Fake Jessica Simpson, oddly, just doesn’t do it for Joe Simpson.
- The New York Post sent a Jessica Simpson lookalike to the Cowboys – Giants game. This is exactly why the New York Post is awesome.
