NFl: Halfway Point

The NFL season is at the midway point and some things have become crystal clear:

--New England is maybe the scariest team in all of professional sports. They seem to hang 40 or 50 points on everybody they play. This weekends game is going to go a long way to find out who is the king of the NFL.

--Indianapolis has almost quietly also undfeated and just keeps winning football games. Peyton Manning keeps adding to his Hall of Fame resume and the Colts defense is playing smash-mouth, agressive football. At least the second best team in the NFL, and maybe after this weekend the best.

--Forget the five year waiting period. Cast the bust and put Brett Favre in the Hall RIGHT NOW!! The guy is 38 yrs. old, still throws the ball 60 yds. downfield, burned two of the fastest corners in the NFL tonight and his team is 6-1. You coach heart, intensity, guts and determination and Favre leads the league in these every year. Who else do you want when the game is on the line? I'll take the kid from Kiln, MS everytime.

--Outside of the whopping they got from New England, Dallas has rolled over most of their competition (except for that nightmare in Buffalo where the kicker bailed them out). The game against the Packers in four weeks could be an NFC championship preview.

--The Rams and the Dolphins have to be the biggest disappointments in the league right now. The Rams have been absolutely decimated by injuries but the Dolphins just plain stink. I can see Cam being 1 and out in Miami if something doesn't change especially if Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas continuing talking about wanting out of Miami. IM to Wayne Huizenga: Marty Schottenheimer is available.

--San Diego has awaken and should be a factor down the stretch in the run to the playoffs. Yesterday their defense carried the load and if Philip Rivers will turn around, hand the ball to L.T. and complete the passes he should complete, the Chargers will be a force come playoff time. Norv, don't try to overcoach this team, it will be better for you, trust me on this one.

--I bought NFL Sunday Ticket this year just to be able to watch my Broncos AND every Green Bay Packer game. Best money I've ever spent.

--If Marc Bulger and Tony Romo are worth 11 to 12 million dollars a year, what is Brady, Manning and Favre worth? In 2006, Manning and Favre both made 10 million and Brady made 16 million. I think those numbers need some adjusting.

--The Detroit Lions are 5-2. Mike Martz, please come back to St. Louis, for our coach is an idiot who doesn't understand the concept of SCORING SOME FUCKING POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
