Brady And Giselle To Split?

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:03:37 -0500

It seems that New England Patriot Tom Brady is leaving his second high profile woman…I still think Bridgette Moynahan is the hotter of the two and can you believe she named their kid Jet? Classic! So now it is Giselle's turn to feel the heart attack of love squashed by Brady. The new girlfriend squeeze? None [...]

I Finally Talk About Favre

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 01:08:33 -0500

It isn't like I haven't been paying attention to the rumors about Brett Favre lately. It isn't as though I don't care either way. My main issue with talking about this scenario is, I'm so adamant that one particular course of action is the correct one, that I have been trying to avoid hyping up something that I still see as a remote chance of happening. All the rumors about our interest in Favre culminated in yesterday's Chris Simms quote about Favre: "He asked me questions about Brett Favre," Simms said. "He asked if I felt Brett would be able to come back and be good here if he didn't have a lot of reps in training camp. I said I thought he would but there would have to be some compromise with coach [Jon] Gruden. He'll just want the play called and to drop back and throw it in there." This is a no brainer. Are we really pondering whether or not this move makes sense for us. A…It's Brett freaking Favre. One of the best QB's of our generation, a true leader, and a guy who if Tom Brady hadn't thrown for 6 million touchdowns last season, probably would have won his 4th MVP award. He threw for 4100 yards last year and completed 66% of his passes. Let's take a look at the comparison between Mrs. Garcia, and Sir Brett Favre's numbers from last season. Passing Player G GS Comp Att Pct Yds Avg TD Int Sck SckY Rate Sir Favre 16 16 356 535 66.5 4,155 7.8 28 15 15 93 95.7 Whiny 13 13 209 327 63.9 2,440 7.5 13 4 19 104 94.6 Favre has the ability, arm strength, leadership, and just general skill level to take our team from what I believe is a definete playoff and division winning contender, to a Super Bowl contender. The positives of Favre, I think are endless, and the potential upgrade and affect of said upgrade on our team are unquantifiable. Problem is, I don't think Thompson would deal him to us. He admitted today that we were one of the 4 teams that were potential trade partners for Favre. I could see him moving Favre to ATL. They're garbage and I don't think he would have to worry about Favre leading them to the Super Bowl and essentially ending the career for Thompson. The other 3 teams on this list though, us included are playoff caliber teams. I personally think, we are the best of those remaining 3 teams. We also play the Pack in week 4 this year. Thompson will have an impossible PR task ahead of him, if any team he trades Favre to succeeds, and even more so, if that team beats the Pack at any time throughout the season. I will say this though, if Brett is available for draft picks, and I don't see what else they would particularly want (John Clayton today mentioned a possible 4th round pick), we should send Green Bay our 2nd rounder, and get prepared to play the Super Bowl in our hometown. I'm so giddy about this possibility, that I spent my vacation two weeks ago in West Palm Beach, talking about nothing more than Lord Favre, in a number 4 jersey, a beautiful red 4 jersey!

9 > 81

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:03:06 -0500

I enjoy watching Jeffri Chadiha verbally battle Skip Bayless on ESPN's 1st and 10. I especially give credence to anyone that can hand Bayless his hat in those contrived arguments. However, Chadiha's latest bit of information does not sit so well with me, and it may be the same for other Cowboy fans. Jeffri, a Senior NFL writer for ESPN, gave his list of the 10 most indispensable players in the league. Just as every other top 10 list this off-season, the Cowboys have a contribution. The oft misunderstood but never undervalued Terrell Owens comes in at number three, behind Fly-Guy Tom Brady and the heir to Brett Favre's throne (in the record books), Peyton Manning. Though I am not disagreeing that TO is a commodity that Phillips can ill afford to be without, I would argue that Tony Romo is way more indispensable to the team than "The Receiver." Value cannot solely be measured in touchdowns, but it's a good start. The Real 81 found the endzone 15 times. That accounts for about 42% of the receiving touchdowns and more than a quarter of the total TDs. Those are big numbers, but Tony Romo was responsible for 100% of Owens' scores. He was also responsible for 100% of the team's 36 passing touchdowns. Lest we not forget he ran for two scores and set up countless field goals. Not to say that Brad Johnson couldn't throw the ball deep for Terrell to go up and get it, but think about how many plays The Talented Mr. Romo made with his legs. If Owens goes down (knock on wood) I am supremely confident that our quarterback will be able to manufacture victories. Conversely, If BJ is forced to take the helm we will quickly find out why Mike Morgan thinks we need a "younger backup." It's a great thing to have so much knowledge and experience backing up your budding QB (ahem Favre), but I think Max is the only person that wants to see Brad get more playing time. Out of 16 games, Mr. Owens failed to score in 5 of them. Romo was held to zero touchdowns in only 2 games, and one was the final game of the season where he played about two quarters. 81 is a boisterous leader on the sideline, but Tony can put the team on his back and carry them to the promise land (see the agonizing Buffalo Bills game last year). The Cowboys' number 1 receiver is arguably number 1 in the league, but Tony Romo means more to Dallas right now, and for the future, than the 34 year old Owens. Let's just hope to see much more from the Romo-Owens connection this year. Thank you, Jeffri Chadiha for acknowledging that the Cowboys have one of the most indispensable players in the league, but I beseech you to reconsider whom it is.

First round choices: Brady or a RB?

Is Tom Brady worth a first-round draft choice, or should you opt for a running back instead? John Juhasz examines the decision.

Fantasy Football QB Preview

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:54:13 -0500

It's late July and that can only mean one thing; People are already signed up for fantasy football. Most drafts run in late August, but many looney fantasy owners start researching well before that. This is the first in a string of articles previewing each position from Quarterback to Team Defense. This week, I am going to take a look at the point men for your fantasy football team, the QB. While most fantasy football leagues lean heavily towards running backs, the value of a solid quarterback can not go unnoticed. Here are the top 20 Quarterbacks for the 2008 fantasy football season: 1. Tom Brady NE 2. Peyton Manning IND 3. Tony Romo DAL 4. Drew Brees NO 5. Carson Palmer CIN 6. Ben Roethlisberger PIT 7. Matt Hasslebeck SEA 8. Derek Anderson CLE 9. Marc Bulger STL 10. Donovan Mcnabb PHI 11. Matt Schaub HOU 12. David Garrard JAX 13. Jake Delhomme CAR 14. Jay Cutler DEN 15. Phillip Rivers SD 16. Eli Manning NYG 17. Jason Campbell WAS 18. Aaron Rodgers GB 19. Vince Young TEN 20. Matt Leinart ARZ Now let's take a closer look at this list. At the top of the list, the first 5 guys named are all pretty obvious. While Tom Brady probably won't repeat last year's record-breaking performance, he will have another outstanding year. Manning, Romo, and Brees should put up similar stats with Manning doing slightly better than Romo and Brees. With the addition of Jeremy Shockey, don't be surprised to see Brees leapfrog Romo. As you go down the list it's interesting to see Derek Anderson down at the 8 spot. Most fantasy football experts have him rated 6th or 7th but i do not agree. Anderson was very inconsistent in college and in his first year with the Browns. I wouldn't be surprised to see Anderson struggle a bit this year, especially if one of his top 2 targets, Braylon Edwards or Kellen Winslow, goes down with an injury, which is something both players have a history of. With Orlando Pace healthy, Rams QB Marc Bulger should have a very solid season. Without any protection last year, Bulger struggled and was getting hit from every side imaginable. He threw 15 INT last season, which is something that will not happen again. With RT Alex Barron going into his 3rd season with the Rams, he will have to prove his worth this year by keeping Bulger clean. I expect Bulger to stay healthy for most of the season and for his TD's to go out (11 last year) and his INT's to go down. Jake Delhomme is coming off of Tommy John surgery, but with over a year of rehab and his coach John Fox extremely confident in him, I wouldn't be surprised to see Delhomme have a balanced stat sheet at the end of the year. Oh, and there's this guy named Steve Smith who may have something to say about Delhomme's number this year. As the rest of the list goes down, there aren't really any surprises. Someone left off this list that may surprise some is Detroit Lions QB Jon Kitna. Kitna has been the cause of many fantasy owner's deaths in the past 2 seasons. He has throw 42 INT over the past 2 seasons, and it appears the Lions will be going with a more balanced offense this season, according to head coach Rod Marinelli. Look for Kitna to throw a lot more this year and perhaps have a nice season in terms of yards and TD's. However, don't expect him to play a big role in helping your team make the playoffs. Here are 3 guys who can have surprise breakout seasons: JaMarcus Russell OAK- The number 1 overall pick in last years draft will finally get his chance to start every game for his team. Russell comes in with very little experience, but has a lot of offensive talent around him. Never known to be a pocket passer, Russell will need to use his legs with that make-shift offensive line by the bay. At the skill position, Russell can lean on rookie RB Darren McFadden. McFadden will make a big difference both in the running game and in the passing game. Veteran WR Javon Walker will be another security blanket for Russell to use. Tarvaris Jackson MIN- Another speedy guy who got help in the off-season on his side of the ball, Jackson can become a multi-dimensional threat up in 'Sota. With one of the best O-Line''s in the game, Jackson won't need to worry about who's coming after him. Phenom RB Adrian Peterson is the ultimate plan A, while plan B isn't looking too shabby for the Vikings. WR Bernard Berrian will be the team's go-to guy on the deep ball and will help Jackson more than any receiver helped him last year. Also that defense will help create turnovers like they did last year and give Jackson more opportunities to score. Sage Rosenfelds HOU- I know it's hard to put a backup on this list, but Rosenfelds always delivers when his fantasy owners need him the most. With Schuab having some injury history, it appears Rosenfelds will get some snaps this season. He had 16 total TD in 9 games last year, versus 12 INT, which for a backup isn't too bad. I am not telling you to draft Rosenfelds, I am just giving forewarning that you should pay attention to those Texans in Houston, because i think they will shock people with the offense they are going to put up this season. By the way, keep an eye on that old number 4, just not in green this season…

PTI And ATH Go Black For The Week

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:49:38 -0500

I don't know if this is an experiment, or the network is trying to ramp up for the new Sports Center format in August, but today's absence of PTI and Around the Horn definitely caught me off guard. I tuned in for my nightly fast forwarding, er viewing of ATH and noticed a random Sports Center Special with Chris McKendry airing. My first thought was that something crazy in the Sports World had gone down, but that wasn't it. I next assumed that I was on ESPN2 for some reason....nope. Lastly, I figured that they had finally cancelled ATH! No such luck.

So what the heck was up? There hadn't been an official press release about the "Special" Sports Centers, but I figured I'd go back and check. And there, buried in a week long "this week in ESPN" release (that mainly includes NASCAR News), was this tidbit....

ESPN will present a week of special one-hour SportsCenter programs Monday-Friday, July 21-25, at 5 p.m. These SportsCenters will feature elements from different ESPN platforms, including ESPN Radio, ESPN.com, ESPN The Magazine, ESPN Fantasy Sports and content from SportsCenter. Hosting the specials will be Chris McKendry (Monday), Dari Nowkhah (Tuesday-Thursday) and Josh Elliott (Friday). Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption will return Monday, July 28.

I also did some searching and found this little message from Michael Wilbon about halfway through the 5pm show....

Hmmm. That's curious isn't it? Since when does a show that replaces both of its regular hosts with random people on a regular basis take a hiatus? Tony Kornheiser has been absent for weeks from PTI and that press release is dated today. I'm not going to make a ton of conspiracy theory type guesses about things (you're welcome to do so in the comments), but just in case someone is reading.....two hours of Sports Center in the evening is waaaaay too much. Hell an hour is too long, but let's just focus on this "Special" Sports Center.

Chris McKendry seriously counted down plays #50-41 of the "year so far". No no....not Baseball. The ENTIRE year of 2008. Tom Brady to Randy Moss in the Super Bowl was #48 and Josh Hamilton's HR Derby performance was #49 (which isn't even technically a "play"). I'm not sure what the experiment is, or what is going on, but I'm not a fan. I need Dan LeBatard talking about David Hasselhoff's crotch every night or I'll go crazy.

It's an interesting choice to say the least, and I'll try to keep you updated.

New England Patriots Big Favorites to Win Super Bowl XLIII

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:50:03 -0500

If you check out the early lines on betsportsweb's 2008 NFL football propositions you'll see that the Patriots once again are the big favorites to win Super Bowl XLIII. Unless you were born under a rock you couldn't miss the fact that New England blazed into last years Super Bowl with a 19-0 record. Odds makers understand this when they compiled this years lines. Both Tom Brady and Randy Moss return after a record shattering 2007 that won many a fantasy football league. Brady threw for a record 50 TD's while registering only 8 interceptions. While Randy Moss's 2007 numbers were equally mind boggling. Moss caught 98 catches for 1,493 yards, yielding 15.2 yards per catch, and 23 TD's. Those numbers are solid in any division, but New England plays in the week AFC East which nearly makes them a lock for the playoffs. If New England can combine lofty numbers like those with a solid run game fans can buy Super Bowl tickets now. The biggest question facing the Patriots has to be its secondary which saw a major exodus this year. The NFL's biggest free agent, Asante Samuel signed on with Philadelphia followed by Tampa Bay's Eugene Wilson, and New Orland's Randall Gay. All three of these players have moved on leaving a void which would cripple most NFL teams and leaves us with one question. Can Rodney Harrison and company carry the load this year?

NFL Vs. The Dark Night

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:36:22 -0500

NFL vs. Dark Knight The Air Assault Begins: 7/21/2008: www.passitdeep.com Summer is about the -ions. By -ions of course I mean Relaxation and Anticipation. The kids are out of school, and most likely are just mentally rotting with all the partying they are doing and all the Wiffle Ball they are playing. The company you work for most likely has gone to a nice, relaxed dress code and you and your spouse have saved up your vacation time for the week long trip your taking to LBI or Hawaii if you're so blessed. Summer is the time of year that flat out makes people's lives worth while. Everything is more laid back, everything is just relaxed. But another thing happens during the summer, when a strange smell begins to form in the air. What's that smell you ask? Football. The countdown to Week 1 has begun and we, as loyal sport's fans, are sick with anticipation. Colin Cowherd would contend, with sharp objection to Antonio Vivaldi, "There are two seasons a year: Football season, and waiting for Football season." There's something different about 2008 though. You see, something else happens during summer time every year. Summer marks the release of the mega blockbusters, namely the comic book, fantasy hero movies. Most of them are stupid, overhyped sequels that spend way too much money and make you so angry you stayed up until midnight on a Thursday to be the first to see it. But 2008 is different. As the NFL lingers, with all the fascinating stories popping up as training camp grows near, the only thing on my mind 24 hours a day is an animal. But it's not a Dolphin, a Bear, a Bengal or any other animal for that matter that is so well represented by various NFL teams. Damnit, I've got Bat Fever! Just admit it. The Dark Knight looks like it's going to be the best movie you've ever seen (ever). I've already put the trailer for it in my Top 6 favorite movies ever (Somewhere in there around Punisher, Rocky IV, 300, Rock star and Super Troopers). By the way, what does it mean when a consistent component of my favorite movies is either Mark Wahlberg or the half naked muscle man factor? Ehh, better forget I said anything. Any who, you can't tell me that you haven't had flashbacks to yourself at age 13 when you experience all the "changes" your body goes through when you watch that trailer. God, this article is full of Freudian slips. I better balance this out... Jessica Alba is hot! Megan Fox is super hot! Oh the things I would do to Carrie Underwood! Okay. That should get me back in good with the Catholics. Here's the dilemma. What should you be more excited for? Let's break it down. We'll compare the upcoming NFL season with The Dark Knight by sorting them into several key dramatic categories. Whichever wins the most categories gets the nod. Let's hire that computer girl who only will show her fire red lips on screen as she does the announcing for the MTV Movie Awards. She's so Resident Evil she's the only person that can scare me when she says, "Best Female Performance." BEST VILLAIN: NFL: Bill Belichick. Bill Belicheat, the evil mastermind of the NFL. He runs parallel with the typical Mob Boss villain, but he's also a criminal genius. You know the type. He commits his crimes in plain sight of everyone but does just enough so that people still think he's a good guy. South Park put it best: "This is Bill Belichick, coach of the New England Patriots. He's won three Super Bowls. How? He cheated. He even got caught cheating, and nobody cared." Belichick is one of those villains that never seem to go away. You think you've beaten him, but he just comes back bigger, better and meaner. Dark Knight: The Joker. He's the most notable and most recognizable Batman villain. His one and only goal is to kill the hero. He is dark, mysterious, and sadistic. The guy flat out has a screw loose. A very complex character that takes a truly Class A performance to pull off. To date we haven't been disappointed. Advantage: Tight one, but I have to go Belichick and the NFL. The Joker is great, but I tried to keep how remarkable Heath Ledger looks as the Joker outside of my judgment. I guess the real tipping point is the morality tale angle. In the movies, the bad guy can't win, good has to triumph over evil, but in the NFL, even though he got knocked backward this year, you know Belichick is going to win in the end. His evils transcend the arts. BEST MARQUEE EVENT: NFL: The Super bowl. The Super bowl is the biggest event in all of American sports. It's the ultimate showdown. The Super bowl is littered with celebrities, $1 million commercials, epic video packages and Joe Buck. It's a week long event that's always in a hot climate and makes January in Miami look like Spring Break in Cancun. Each night is highlighted with a different rapper's party and Bill Belichick spends the whole week taping practices regardless of if he's participating or not. Dark Knight: I was torn on which event to talk about. I had to decide between the premiere and the opening night Midnight showing at your local theatre. I guess, since it is tradition, I have to go premiere. It's the opening night extravaganza, the cast and crew as well as all the A-List celebrities will be out for a Monday night of fun in New York. You roll out the red carpet. Access Hollywood, Inside Edition, and E!, they'll all be there. No doubt they'll be some pointless activist group out there trying to protest something the Director did wrong, maybe cruelty to bats and Ferrari's. Don't worry, no one will be listening to them, they will just get in the way of paparazzi trying to sneak in. Afterwards, there is sure to be an all night after party none of us have any chance of ever getting into and the viewing of the masterpiece is going to be watered down with Cristal and Cocaine bought on Lindsey Lohan's tab. Advantage: NFL again, jumping out to a big lead early. Nothing compares to the Super bowl. Though I personally will get more enjoyment out of seeing the nerds dressed up like Batman and Joker while I wait in line for the Midnight showing, disgracing the Super bowl is in fact a sacrilege and God will show no mercy on my soul. LEAST LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED BY THE LOSS OF A STAR: NFL: The NFL lost two big stars after last year, Michael Strahan and Brett Favre. Favre might return, but it's doubtful he will be with the Packers. So, for the first time in like 45 years the original jewel of the NFL will have another QB under center. The league will survive, but it's definitely taking a hit from this. Favre can throw 5 interceptions in a game and The Packers could lose by 40 and he'll still be a more compelling story than Spy gate or Pac man Jones. Dark Knight: Most of the surviving cast is returning, with the exception of Mrs. Tom Cruise. I'm actually going to go out on a little bit of limb here and say that the movie takes a hit because of this. I thought she was perfect for the role. She has that whole nice, loveable, girl next door quality to her and she's certainly the hottest girl to ever climb a ladder into a bedroom overlooking a creek. At the same time, she's a scientologist so you know she can go Travolta on your ass and Saturday Night Fever all over your face until you Grease her all of your money. Advantage: Dark Knight. Missing Holmes I think is being overlooked in the pre-release hype of Dark Knight, but the NFL lost its biggest hero here, on top of losing the creator of the "Ballin'!" sack dance. LEGEND MAKING POTENTIAL: NFL: There are very few stars left in the NFL that have the opportunity to turn in their first legendary performance. Of the four big contenders, the Pats, Colts, Cowboys and Giants, three out of the four quarterbacks have already made their mark. Brady and Peyton are two of the best QB's of all-time and they already have their rings. Eli got his ring by beating Brady and overcoming his big brother's shadow, so the only legend left to write really would be Tony Romo actually winning a playoff game with a hot blonde there to see him. He's 0-2 so far, I think this year should be Britney's year, she's getting better (I guess?). Dark Knight: This one is easy. Heath Ledger, who's always been a shared spotlight or B-list actor, straps on the Joker's boots once filled by Big Jack himself. Not only that, Ledger died soon after filming was completed. And now it's looking like he's going to clean up post mortem at the Oscar's, Golden Globes, and even the Valhalla TV Lifetime Achievement Awards live from the Pearly Gates. Ledger could join Bach, Thoreau, Van Gogh and Emily Dickinson on the short list of people whose work achieved legendary status after death. Advantage: Dark Knight by a mile. Seeing Ledger as Joker is what I'm most pumped about. Somehow, after the performance Christian Bale turned in for Batman Begins, people are more excited about seeing Heath Ledger. Sorry Romo, go cry with your face in Jessica Simpson's large bust, which is an acceptable consolation prize I feel. MOMENTUM BUILT FROM HOW LAST EPISODE ENDED: NFL: Super bowl XLII ended as sort of a culmination of sorts. We got to see one of the greatest upsets in professional sports history. I mean come on, there were people saying that the Giants couldn't beat the Bills in Week 16 just to get into the playoffs. They lose by a nose to the Pats in Week 17, then turn around and win three road games, two of them in Dallas and Green Bay, and my God the "Little Giants that could" are in the Super bowl! And it didn't stop there. Those "Little Giants" overcame all odds and actually beat the De Facto best team to ever play on the game's biggest stage. You can't write that any better. Here's the problem. The story plays like the end of an epic movie, one of those movies you don't make a sequel for. It's like if they made a sequel to Miracle, the first one was such an inspiring true story that the second one would have no chance to compare. There's no doubt that this year's NFL will be suspenseful, that's what a salary cap does, but I'm really not working off anything that happened in 2007. Dark Knight: Batman Begins was set up as a typical first installment of a comic book series. You give the background of your hero, cover all the bases established by years and years of comic books, make him question what his purpose is, and then just throw him right in with an enemy that he dispatches relatively easily. Comic book movies are the best at setting up sequels, and I thought Batman Begins did its job, but I wasn't super pumped for Dark Knight until I saw what Ledger looked like as the Joker. Advantage: Push. Neither of them spent too much time or had anything spectacular happen that set up the sequel. Sure, the Joker card was sick at the end of the movie, but you weren't even sure they were going to make another one. And the NFL, well NFL Films always finds a way to get you pumped for the next season. GREATEST CHANCE OF LEAVING ME WANTING MORE: NFL: There is one thing about professional sports that you sometimes wish you could change: Everything is symmetrical, nothing carries over. I mean, the media will definitely play up story lines in between seasons and build up rivalries with pure here say, but the players don't care. If you win the Super bowl, you do your celebrating on the field, and then in the locker room, then you have your parade, get your keys to the city and move on to the next season. There is very little carryover from year to year. And with free agency, you usually see massive turnover from championship teams from year to year. It's times like this that you wish the NFL could take a page from the WWE, and just be a little scripted every now and then. Dark Knight: One of the cool things about movies is: they are scripted. It's funny; there are always two sides to these things. In another column I might say, "One of the cool things about sports is: it's not scripted." It's one of those little tricks you can use to make your points sound better, it's all about context. Anyway, Dark Knight is obviously scripted. And you know that if the movie does well, which it's guaranteed to do, Warner Brothers will be foaming at the mouth to pump out a third. So, you know the ending is going to leave you saying, "Holy sh**! When is the next one coming out?" And then two years of anticipation begins and reaches its pinnacle when that first teaser trailer comes out. From there, you openly weep with passion and you furiously try to find your DVD of the Dark Knight that you haven't touched since you watched it the day it came out. Advantage: Dark Knight. I'm going to get home from this movie at 3am and not even think about the fact that I have to leave for work in three and a half hours and try to stay awake for a lunch with the COO of the Fortune 500 Company I work for. Well, at least I have another year of college to find a job. Moving on… LOWEST DISAPPOINTMENT POTENTIAL: NFL: Even if the Super bowl is the Seahawks vs. the Steelers, and you spend the whole time playing Ping Pong and eating Wings that will take you months to work off (true story), there is always something that makes your religious following of the NFL worth while. It's all about the journey in the NFL; your overall enjoyment doesn't rest on the Super bowl. That's the great thing about sports whose playoffs are single elimination. You're almost guaranteed to see a game you'll never forget. You're almost guaranteed to see a team win a game they had no business winning. In the NFL, a team just winning a playoff game is an accomplishment that can make a career, so every time you turn on a football game, you're in for something special. Dark Knight: I know for a cold hard fact I'm way too excited about Dark Knight. It's nearly impossible for it to amount to everything I think it will. Now, I know Heath Ledger is going to be amazing, and there's no doubt Christian Bale is great, and Michael Caine as Alfred was some of the most brilliant casting I've ever seen. But, I've set the bar so high not just for the movie but also for how crazy the Midnight showing is going to be there's a really good chance I'm going to be disappointed with some aspect of the movie. Prediction on disappointment: Maggie Gyllenhaal. Advantage: NFL. There are a few things in life that are for certain. Death, taxes, Patriots going undefeated (whoops), USA Basketball winning the Gold (let us pray) and the NFL season not disappointing. Alright, well, we seem to have a good old fashioned, communist tie. There are three categories for the NFL, three for Dark Knight and a push. Well, at least we can find solace in the fact that you don't have to choose one over the other. Hell, I have 2 TV's in the same room of my apartment. I could watch them both at the same time when Dark Knight comes out on DVD!

Peter Griffin is sexy.
