September 4th- Hey, if you're like me, Labor Day weekend meeans one thing... FOUR HOUR SALE AT WAL-MART, BABY!! Actually, I'm glad the NFL wised up and moved their opening day back to Labor Day Weekend. Every six years or so they try to knock it back a week. But then, players and fans bitch about playing their final regular season games on Jan 3rd. By scheduling it on Labor day, it made this Goats-Donkies game seem like a special occassion.

It was like a freaking Nintendo game. You know the type. You run up the score something like 46-40 between the Saints and the Bengals. Scrubs like Corey Dillon run for 300 yards and the Saints have ten sacks. You run your fullback up the middle on 3rd and 2 and... BAM, he makes like John Riggins and bust 87 yards for a touchdown. THAT'S the type of game the Donkies and Goats has last night. How else do you explain a two yard quick out turning into an 80 yard TD? I mean, 41-36? Criminy!

Still the Donkies hung in there and will probably score more points than most teams will against the Goats. Griese did have his chance, but as always, he found a way to hit the turf and save himself the agony of having to run down field and stop the clock. Good move, actually. Save yourself the stress of trying to make the right read or try to figure out the nuances of clock management. Just find the nearest big dude in a Rams jersey and let him give you a hug. The game will be over much quicker and you'll have more time to "study your mistakes for last year". But, he knows he can play this game...

When did ABC hire Mushmouth from "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" as their sideline reporter? I'm so glad to see that Mushmouth found some work... I haven't seen that kid since the late 70's and I was legitimately worried.

I'm sure I'm not the only guy saying this, but: that Melissa Stark is a little package!!! And if I AM the only guy saying this, then all I can say is "Dude, I got dibs!!".

A serious concern popped up in the fourth quarter. Al Wilson went out with a bum shoulder and could be out until the presidential elections. The Donkies, who had all sorts of linebacker depth about a month ago, now have a predicament. Ian Gold is not ready for every down duty. Gizzi and Wayne have departed. Cadrez is the only savior, but for some reason he doesn't impress me.

Didn't I express some concern over how easily Matt Hasselbeck passed through the Donkies' secondary, about three weeks ago? Hell, it's over and they probably won't see this team again. I imagine alot of teams will look at how the Broncos' offense moved against the Rams defense, and capitalize on it. It's a league of cheaters. Oh well, Dan Reeves is in town next weekend and that should enable the Donkies to get back on track. "Aht-standin..."

FINAL CUTS
I saw Andre Cooper is back on the roster?? What happened to Andre Reed? ... || ... I copyrighted my official Kurt Warner Quarterback Sack call. When he gets hit, you make a sound like a grocery store speaker system and go "SQUAWK.. Clean up on aisle three.. SQUAWK". It's funny, trust me ... ||... I feel sorry for Warner. See that skank he's hooked up with? Dang, dude couldn't waited until after he won the Super Bowl and had his pick of any bimbo... || .. Yeah, yeah..but you can't have a football column without a little male chauvanism!
