The Mighty Saints Have Lost...

Drew Brees and his bad hair

...their first game since winning the Superbowl last year. Sigh. Atlanta Falcons' QB Matt Ryan and his team beat the Saints 27-24 in overtime (OT) on Sunday. Maybe the Saint's QB, Drew "Bad Hair Day Everyday" Brees finally let his comb-over get the best of him. The Saint's kicker, Garrett Hartley, missed an OT field goal which obviously didn't help matters.

#2- Our favorite "changed man," former dog-killer Michael Vick DID start this week and crushed the Jacksonville Jaguars with 4 touchdowns and 291 yards. If you remember from last week, the Philadelphia Eagles coach, Andy Reid, was getting pressure from all sides to start Vick over Kolb (pronounced "Cobb"). Last we heard, Kolb was scheduled to start, then mid-week, Reid changed his mind. I'm guessing he was happy with his choice. (Although it seemed pretty obvious to everyone else.)

#3- Brett "Gramps" Favre and his Vikings finally won a game this week! However, it really had nothing to do with Favre. It had everything to do with RB"All Day" Adrian Peterson. Peterson is super fast and Favre seems to be doing nothing more than throwing interceptions these days (this is bad). They beat the Lions who are now 0-3 (this is also bad). In any case, it must be nice for Gramps to finally win one.

#4- The Dallas Cowboys finally won a game as well. They defeated the Houston Texans in a battle for bragging rights in Texas.

#5- Chris Johnson is great once again this week after having a rough game last week. His Tennessee Titans beat the NY Giants 29-10.

#6- The Oakland Raiders lost...because their kicker absolutely choked. Three times! The guy (Sebastian Janikowski) missed three (count them) three field goals including one at the last minute that could have won them the game. Yikes. I'm sure he's getting hate mail and eggs thrown at him today.  The Raiders lost to the Cardinals by one point.

#7- And last but not least, there are only 2 teams so far that are undefeated (3-0) record. They are the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers are both 2-0. They are also both in the NFC North (read more about divisions at the top of the page in the tabs) and are division rivals. Luckily, they are playing each other tonight for Monday Night Football!

Kristin's date, Jay

Some things to watch tonight: Remember Jay Cutler (Gay Butler), QB for the Bears? Apparently, he's now dating Kristin Cavallari...we'll have to see how it affects his game. However, he's up against Packers QB, Aaron Rodgers who is really really good. He's one of the "top 4" QBs. (The other ones are Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew "my hair sucks" Brees.) This is a great statistic to impress the guys.

Week 2: Battle of the Hot QBs

Mark Sanchez - Hot QB

It was a battle of hotness when the NY Jet's played the New England Patriots this past Sunday. Jet's QB, Mark Sanchez, went head to head against Pats QB, the always pretty Tom Brady in the new stadium that the Jets share with the Giants. He completed a pass to WR Braylon Edwards**, who scored a touchdown and then proceeded to dance in the face of one of the guys on the other team. Although this incurred a "taunting" penalty of 15 yards, it didn't really matter. Sanchez and his boys continued on to victory over the Pats 28-14.

Also of note in this game: Patriots' Randy Moss became the 4th WR in history to catch 150 TD passes in his career. This is a big deal. Impress your football friends with this one.

Braylon Edwards....busted!

(**Apparently Edwards got a little TOO excited from their win as he was arrested this morning for a DWI with four people in his car and a blood alcohol level of .16--twice the legal limit. Oopsie. Read more about it in "What's Hot This Week..." in the right-hand column.)

In other news, Brett Favre is getting old. Well, we all knew this but on Sunday he threw three interceptions and helped the Vikings get to a 0-2 start to the season. Yep, he officially should have retired last year.

Kim Kardashians ex, Saints' Reggie Bush got injured (knee) during last night's game against the SF 49ers. He was taken off the field and will get x-rays as soon as the team gets back to New Orleans. The Saints won the game by a last second field goal.

Kenny McKinley - RIP

On a very sad note, it seems that the Broncos' Kenny McKinley was found dead in his apartment yesterday after an apparent suicide. This is the third player in only a few years to die on the Denver Broncos. (Their deaths are unrelated.)

The Eagles' Michael Vick, everybody's favorite dog-killer, started his first game since 2006 and did a great job. However, the coach will be starting Kevin Kolb next week now that he has been cleared to play after his concussion last week. This is kind of a hot topic...ask your dude who he thinks should start, Kolb (pronounced "Cobb") or Vick?


Other bits: Chris Johnson and the Tennessee Titans did terribly (even though I told you last week that Johnson was amazing.)

Tony Romo and his Cowboys are still not doing well.

That's about it for this week. Enjoy!
