Yes, hence the words early makings.

This has the early makings of a game that we should be in cruise control but instead it's going down to the end.

They are killing the Colts with their running game. So after driving the length of the field with the running game (including picking up a 2nd and 25 with back to back running plays), they throw away a chance to go up 14-0 by throwing an interception. Dumbasses.

Well then, I stand erected. Err...

Needless to say, I saved that on the DVR. Probably will watch again tonight.

Hey, who wants to look like a toilet brush?

Penis + eye glasses = John Clayton.

*24 (Have seen every episode) *Sopranos (Have seen every episode) *Rescue Me (Just watched the third season; love it. Best Buy had the first two seasons on DVD for 20 bucks a couple of weeks ago so I picked them up. Will have to get around to watching them one day.) *Entourage (Have seen every episode) *The Office (Saw last season and last night's premiere. Came home from a business trip at midnight and watched it. One of the harder laughs I've had in a long time.) *Prison Break (Have seen every episode) I'd grade 24, Sopranos, Rescue Me and The Office as A's. Entourage and Prison Break are decent, not near the quality as the others I listed. One day I'd like to see episodes of The Wire and The Shield.

Let's get Willis a 100-yard game. He has to be close.

Is there a sweeter sound than that of Dolphins fans booing?

Coy Wire...I LOVE THAT GUY! He's the Sal Fasano of the Buffalo Bills!

The guy doing color for the Colts-Texans game just said, "Marvin Harrison isn't that good of a player. He just knows how to catch the ball and get down before taking a hit."

If you can't find a deep meaning to lyrics such as Eighty degrees, when I tell that bi*ch please Raise up off these N-U-T's, cause you gets none of these At ease, as I mob with the Dogg Pound, feel the breeze Then Hops, you're no music fan.

That is so wrong. But so funny.

Hopefully, AD, you're aware that I was piling on your sarcasm.

It was basically something like, "The Patriots were flagged for just one 5-yard infraction, although there were at least four plays on which a Patriots offensive lineman wrapped both arms around a Buffalo pass-rusher, and the Flying Elvii benefited from an extremely convenient inadvertent whistle that ended a play when a Buffalo runner had 50 yards of green grass between him and the end zone. Meanwhile, the Bills were hit with seven penalties, including a ticky-tack nudge-in-the-back call that wiped out a fourth-quarter first down in New England territory and changed a scoring opportunity into a punt." I'm not sure if that was it, exactly, but it was something like that.

I thought Ike Taylor was unbelievable in the first half. Chambers got the best of him in the second half. But he was far from awful.

Yep, Thomas is good. And that's it. To say he is great is a major reach. Your assessment of him is right on the money. His flaws get overlooked because of his underdog background.

No argument there. Taylor is a very good player, as is Thomas.

I keep hearing how good the Dolphins looked last night, despite the loss. Let's see....they lost to a team using Charlie Batch as their starting quarterback. Their quarterback completed less than 50 percent of his passes, their stud running back gained two yards per carry, and the offense managed to control the clock for less than 25 minutes. Defensively, they allowed Pittsburgh to convert better than 50 percent of their third downs. Batch completed 60 percent of his passes, with three TDs and no picks. Parker averaged four yards a carry and wore them down. Zach Thomas got toasted on the game's decisive touchdown, and Jason Taylor showed up for about two plays. Their best player on the field was Wes Welker. Let that soak in for a minute or two. Yeah, they looked real good. Are they better than us? Probably. Will they beat us next week? Well, they should, seeing how they have been annointed a playoff team thanks to that six-game winning streak at the end of last season. Mind you, the streak included wins over us (a game we dominated for 50 minutes on their home field), Oakland, the Jets, Tennessee, the Chargers (the lone decent win in the streak, although they didn't make the playoffs), and a Matt Cassell/Patrick Pass-led Patriots team that took the game so seriously that they had some midget out there doing drop kicks.

You're forgeting who we are playing and where we are playing. Bills win coin toss. Belichick throws red flag. After further review, it wasn't heads, it was tails. Pats win coin toss. Pats ball at their own 23 1-10- Dillon for 6 yards 2-4-Brady passes incomplete 3-4-Brady passes incomplete. Flag...illegal contact by Nate. 5 yards, automatic first down. 1-10-Brady to Watson for 17 yards 1-10-Dillon for 1 2-9-Brady to Troy Brown for 11 yards 1-10-Brady to Caldwell for 7 yards 2-3-Dillon for 3 yards 1-10-Faulk for 13 yards 1-10-Brady to Watson for TOUCHDOWN Kickoff returned by breasts McGee to Buffalo 48. Flag. Illegal block. Drive start at Buffalo 14 1-10-Losman to Parish for 2 yards 2-8-McGahee for 2 yards 3-6-Losman to Evans for 17 yards. Flag. Illegal hands to the face. Half the distance to the goal. 3-15-Losman to Price for 43 yards. Flag. Holding on Rueben Brown. Jauron: But he's not on our team anymore. Ref: Yeah, but Belichik insisted. 3-19-Losman sacked for loss of 2 4-21-Moorman punts for 73 yards, return of -1.

Does anyone living someplace other than upstate New York get to watch the Best of 2005-06 Sabres Six To Remember series that's airing on MSG? It's supposed to air Tuesday nights and I think there are three more games on the schedule. But I have been getting the Rangers 10 To Remember (as if there were more memorable Ranger moments from this past year than Sabres...whatever). Is it accurate to say you have to live in and around Buffalo to get the Sabres games?

Not for nothing, but I don't recall the Colts having much trouble with the Patriots last year in New England on a Monday night.

While everyone's in the mood to rip Mike and Mike (who I'm OK with) and ESPN, it might also be worth mentioning that the first clip they showed (on the ESPN News simulcast of the show) as they were talking about JP was actually one of Kelly Holcomb throwing the ball.

Anyone else get a headache after reading that post?
