In case you missed the Emmys last night (and I don't blame you for skipping through typical Hollywood blather even with 1000% more Neil Patrick Harris), the Dr. Horrible bit. Even at a modest 2:30, it's more than I was expecting.
I forgot the onside kick -- if whoever'd had the ball kicked right the hell to him hadn't gone all skillet-mitts that second, it'd been a whole new ball-game. And Cassell had one play I remember where he moved out of the pocket directly toward a blitzer like he was the whale falling toward the ground in Hitchhiker's Guide to the point I was beginning to think he had LT's smoked visor snapped in or something, and he still would've been better than JaMarcus "Muscle Relaxant" Russell (Jesus, 7/24 and it was worse than that). LJ decided to play a few downs, apparently keeping some in the tank for a free-agency showing later in the season, I guess -- he can still go either way, but it's up to him to decide to show the hell up.
Still a lot of potential. They shouldn't be 1-1, much less 0-2, but them's the breaks.
And we have a monster non-con draw this year. Cripes, the NFC East back-to-back (the tour starts this weekend in Philly) and the Steelers, but luckily we finish out the season with the not-so-killer-B's: Broncos, Bills, Browns, Bengals, and Broncos again. It's definitely a trial-by-fire season for Haley and Cassell.
Maurice Leggett had the ball on that onside, but was apparently the first victim of the new push-out rules, or that's what it looked like from the upper deck.
