The Falcons curb stomp the hell out of the Cardinals, but the Jags are beaten in a pretty sweet game against the Redskins. I can deal with that.

Overall, very interesting Sunday. I never expected the Ravens to be able to hang with the Chargers.

Did anyone see the Haynesworth incident?

That was so bad that even Haynesworth was disgusted with himself. He deserves the fines and suspensions that are coming his way.

I can't believe he'd do something like that. He's always seemed like such a decent guy. Never thought he'd sink that low in a game

Well, as I see it, there are two explanations.

1) Haynesworth had been held or something earlier and he exploded, for no good reason.

2) Dude's on roids and he had a bout of roid rage.

I don't see any other logical explanation for why you would stomp on a guy's face. It's disgusting.

Gurode said in the Press Conference that nothing happened between the two. But it didn't look like "Rage," at least to me it didn't

Hard to say, really. Hopefully he'll learn from it.

3) He plays for the Titans and had a moment of clarity and realized that they are awful.

Yeah, but that's no reason to face stomp....THE OTHER TEAM!

I would if I realized Vince Young was the starting QB of my team.

Rooting for the team that Kellen Winslow is on is almost enough to make me want to face stomp someone.

Still can't believe the 49ers were shutout yesterday. That's something that doesn't occur very often.

I think S.F. has a good core of young players. They've at least rebounded from being the worst team in the league pretty quickly.

They've played really well offensively against Arizona, St. Louis, and Philly.. They just need to improve their defense.

Yeah, they still have Bryant Young starting on their line. He's like the Larry Allen of defense. And hey they have Larry Allen too.

I like Frank Gore quite a bit. Kid's got a lot of talent.

He's got talent, but he just needs to hold on to the ball better.

So Haynesworth got 5 games. Can't say I'm thrilled with that. I think they should've suspended him for the rest of the season.

I think 5 is just about right. Obviously, a stupid move to do in open viewing like that.

But, 1) Cheap shots like that happen all the time in football and that will never be stopped, and 2) I don't think he had intent to injure. He wasn't kicking Gurode hard at all.

Drug busts get you four games. Stomping gets you five. So what's the NFL saying there?

Even worse, we'll be subjected to 12 weeks of shitty "stomp" jokes everytime the Titans are on.

He totally had intent to injure with this. He ripped his helmet off before doing it. Had he just stomped on some guy I would say 5 is fair.

There's a difference between the regular cheap shots and losing your temper like that. Refs are told to give penalties for cheap shots (tripping, blatant clip, any block by the Broncos' offensive line in the open field, etc). When a guy loses his cool and carries on like that, it's an ejection. Wasn't it after the whistle? There ya' go.

My bro got kicked out of a game for kicking someone while a pile was clearing up. I got kicked out for goring a guy into the ground (questionable... my team protested and the ejecting ref was canned). A guy I coached would cheap shot almost every play. But he PUNCHED a ref, after the whistle, and got two games "off".

Even with all the changes in Monday Night Football production over the past 8 years, I haven't been offended to the point where I was thinking "fuck, turn these guys OFF already". So way to go, ESPN... I can no longer watch MNF with audio.

I'm searching for someone who finds Tony Kornholer amusing. His opening "joke" for Monday's game in Denver: "there's nothing else here but sheep!". Huh? That's like saying: "there's nothing to do in Miami but FISH!". Also, there are very few sheep in Colorado. About as many sheep as there are llamas. I suppose it was either that or a "trendy and witty" joke about Brokeback Mountain.

I strongly recommend ESPN dig up Buffalo Bob, Howdy Doody and Clarabell. Buffalo Bob (even if he's a corpse nowadays) would definitely fill the shoes of the rambling Joe Theezman. Howdy Doody, the wooden inanimate object, would be an upgrade over Mike Tirico. Clarabell wouldn't be funny.. but at least he could honk his horn once an hour to make me chuckle.

I really think Kornheiser would be better if he didn't have to work with Theismann.

I think we'd all be better if Tony Kornheiser didn't have to work.

Cheering for your fantasy team on MNF? I don't see how Theezman is responsible for Kornholer saying shit like that.

The Bengals got fucked over royally this week. They sacked the Tampa QB on 3rd down and got flagged for roughing the passer. I guess any contact with the QB is out of bounds now.

You see the hit Antonio Pierce laid on Mike Vick? Now THAT'S a late hit.

It wasn't even dirty during the Bengals game. Justin Smith just rolled him up like you do on a sack and they flagged him for it.

You know how the NFL is these days. Gotta protect the QB at all costs.

Here's the play so you can see it in all it's glory:

Kornheiser is a moron. Just watch Pardon the Interruption. He's constantly saying stupid shit like that, knocking Soccer and Tennis, and all other sports he'd suck completely at.

From the AP:
I don't see what this story has to do with Terrell Owens, but try telling that to the guy who wrote it.

Really....how the HELL does "coach finds rat in McDonalds salad" relate to Terrell Owens?

Maybe T.O. planted the rat? :D
