Matt Cassel extended his games with a touchdown pass streak to four with Sunday's throws to Mike Vrabel and Dwayne Bowe, a career-high. He was also sacked four times and seemingly hit 40 more. As we mentioned during the game, Cassel showed some mobility we didn't know he had, and it caught Jay Ratliff by surrpise, too. "You mean how he kept eluding us?" Ratliff said. "I don't know, he might be as hard as [Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger] to bring down. He can create sometimes and make plays down the field. He did that today. My hat's off to him."

What will Jerry do?

Via Dallas Cowboys And The NFL  |  October 11, 2009
KANSAS CITY - We still have a half to go, but even if the Cowboys pull this one out, you got to figure Jerry Jones isn't going to be happy. This team, as it stands now, is headed for a 7-9 finish. If the Chiefs pull off the upset, does Jones make a coaching change? He said last week he'd stick with Wade Phillips, but losing to an 0-4 team just might anger him enough to...

KYLE TURLEY IS NOT A HUMAN DOGFIGHTER

Via With Leather  |  October 12, 2009
Noted writer Malcolm Gladwell tried to compare America’s thirst for pro football to Michael Vick’s penchant for dogfighting…or something. Gladwell takes the angle that a typical offensive lineman, like former NFL lineman Kyle Turley, is left as battered and as physically damaged as a fighting dog from Vick’s former Bad Newz Kennels.
