Hell has begun to freeze

There wasn't one soul in  America (or the world) that picked the Dolphins to top the Patriots this weekend. If you did then you are lying. We knew that they would be worse without Tom Brady but no one expected this beat-down. 38-13. 38-13! A team that only won one game last year.

Hell will be completely frozen if the Cubs win the World Series, but that still would be less shocking than this.

Matt Cassel the next Tom Brady?

Doubtful. But if you remember when Drew Bledsoe went out for the Pats 6th round pick Tom Brady took his place and stole the show. Cassel hasn't started a game for over eight years so lightning striking twice is not likely. Personally, they should get another QB. That's just me. Here are the notable options:

Daunte Culpepper
Tim Hasselbeck
Jared Lorenzen
Tim Rattay
Chris Weinke

And the winner is.............................................

Tyree play should not have counted

While reading the article in Sports Illustrated about the Tyree play, I noticed that in picture sequence there was something fishy. I have highlighted the problem areas.
There were possibly two blocks in the back on the same play.
The first picture there is not too much contact. It seems from the video that he just brushed the back of the other player.This is a screen-shot of the YouTube video. It happened right before the second image above. The lineman apparently followed through with his block in the back.

Examining footage of the play:

For the second picture pause the first video below at 17 seconds in or just watch the movement of the lineman #67 Kareem McKenzie.

Who, me?

You see that it is an obvious block in the back.


Different view pause at 10 seconds in.


Don't get me wrong, penalties go unnoticed on every play but I had to put this one out there.
