-the NFL network thursday night game definitely was an interesting one. Both teams lost their starting QB with what appears to be severe knee injuries. You just have to feel good for the Redskins right now. People forget that not only have they lost Sean Taylor this season but starting CB Shawn Springs is dealing with the painful situation of his comatose father, former NFL RB Ron Springs. Those off the field issues coupled with plenty of injury woes makes the Redskins the 2007 version of the 2006 Saints. I may be a Jet fan and will always root for the hometown Giants over the Redskins, this season is just different. Final score, 24-16 Skins. (NFL.com)

-People need to calm down with the Newman-Kitna Hype. The 'boys are going to blow the resurgent Lions out. the Lions lost leading wide receiver Roy Williams this week for the season and although they have Calvin Johnson, Martz has seemed to forget about him in the offense opting to throw to Shaun Mcdonald (who he had in St. Louis) more. Kitna said those remarks at the end of a poor 2006 season and Newman still holds a grudge? First off, talk like this isn't uncommon; Bart Scott got into some trouble last year for making similar remarks. Second, this is very unusual for Newman to get so angry and be so vocal. Newman has always let his play speak for himself so maybe he should keep doing whats working for him. (USA Today)

-This is a joke so I'm not even going to comment on it. Don't even get angry, just let the video speak for itself.


-Astros are having serious talks regard Miggy Tejada so if he was the Angels backup plan, they might want to act upon that quickly. (RealGM)
