I've gotta say I didn't see the Browns win coming. I don't have much faith in the coaching (look at the penalties) but the offensive and defensive coordinators really stepped up on this one - even a bit of that Flash offense Miami is using to such great effect. Delightfully surprised by the whole thing.
College ball gets weirder all the time - Toledo over That School Up North - wow.

>>At the 2 minute warning the Browns are up over the Giants by 3 touchdowns.

>>Underdogs everywhere, take heart.

>I am not shocked by that. I thought the Browns are better than their record, and the Giants not as good. Maybe this will be the kick start the Browns need.

>Here there is a great gnashing of teeth about the Bears' decision to squib kick with 11 seconds left and a one point lead. The Falcons completed a sideline route (GREAT game by rookie QB Matt Ryan), then kicked the game winner with 1 second left. It was an absolutely perfect pass -- any longer and time would have run out, any shorter and it would have been out of field goal range. It was the first Bears game I have seen this season and very exciting, although obviously I would have liked the opposite outcome.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
