Monday Morning Hangover

Hard to believe it's Monday already, the good news, since the NFL is now in full swing, I can just pretend the Syracuse football season doesn't exist.....or at least try to pretend anyway. Let's get to some links.

All of New England has been put on suicide watch, as Tom Brady bit the dust yesterday. Yahoo is reporting that he's done for the year, so the bounty on Brady that Kissing Suzy Kolber had out can finally be collected. While this is terrible news for one of my fantasy teams, I'll gladly sacrifice fake football for a wide open race in the NFL.

One other note on the Patriots game yesterday, the Chiefs should have tied it up, but got absolutely robbed by the officials, when, on their last offensive play, Dwayne Bowe was basically tackled before the ball got there, and the ref just stood there looking lost. Of course, Bowe should have caught a ball on first down that would have tied the game, so let's just say it wasn't his day.

In other action yesterday, my Philadelphia Eagles restored my faith in football by dismantling the hapless Rams, McNabb was as sharp as I've ever seen him and DeSean Jackson is the real deal. Its the Eagles and Cowboys next week on Monday Night Football, I'm slightly excited. Here's hoping the birds smash Tony Romo's face.

To get caught up on other games, you can read this round up - or spend 12 hours watching football like I did yesterday.

Let's shift into depressing mode and see what's up with SU Football. Bud says it's only a matter of when Robinson gets fired, arguing this one is like arguing that the Titanic is unsinkable. The thing about the piece that ticks me off, Bud gives a shout out to Fire Robinson Now, which apparently was just created - hey Bud, we've been murdering the guy for over a year now.

Dave Rahme breaks down the total system failure against Akron. Here's one way to prevent this from happening again, cold boot the coach.

The Daily Orange says the Akron loss is a new low for the team - just wait until the Northeastern game.....

A look at the game from an Akron perspective.

Here's a headline we won't see in Central New York this year.

Our fellow bloggers have some things to say as well - the Orange Squeeze offers a sad recap. TNIAAM asks Akron Seriously? More children are crying at Orange 44. I'm warning you now, the picture on the Sport Hump post is not for the faint of heart. Nick's Two Cents wins the best headline of the week. The Orange Fizz welcomes everyone to rock bottom, and Get Gross Out is writing open letters to Dr. Gross.

The Binghamton Press Connects has some issues with the numbers in the Express.

R is for Regression - that might not be a strong enough term.

The Palm Beach Post says Pittsburgh and Syracuse are dragging down the Big East Conference - at least we didn't have far to drag it.

Dennis Dodd thinks the Syracuse job is a coach killer. I couldn't disagree more, but with the program in shambles, I can understand why someone would say it.

Up next for SU - the Penn State Nittany Lions. Ugh. At least for Penn State it should cure their recent road issues.

Greg shoots up to number 2 on the coaches hot seat rankings.

Some advice readers - good dental health is a must.

And let me leave you all with this - no matter how much you dislike Greg Robinson, late night phone calls to his house discussing anal sex are off-limits. Leave that kind of thing to politicians.
