mnf recap

Sly Stallone is my favorite non-sport celebrity(technically he is a sports celebrity) to visit the booth to date. Those who tuned in for the pregame show were treated to two doses of Balboa. Some day I have to run up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in a bad gray sweat suit with, Eye of the Tiger blasting on the ipod.

It was great to hear Sly bellow, "Yo Adrian!". I just hope he's not doing it for quarters in the Poconos in a few years.

Worst use of the English language

"Donovan McNabbless Philly offense" ~Mike Tirico

I wonder if Philadelphia is going to draft a quaterback next year. When D Mac is on the field he is one of the best but his durability is definitely in question. McNabb has missed significant time in three out of the last five seasons. In 2002, he missed six games due to a broken ankle. In 2005, a hernia that required surgery forced him to shut down his season before Thanksgiving. This year McNabb suffered a torn ACL in week twelve.

Non MNF Thoughts

Rough loss for the horses on Sunday night. I don't think Jessica Simpson will be leaving Tony Romo for Jay Cutler.

NCAA Thoughts

In case you missed it, while USC was tripping on their way to Glendale the Minutemen got it done.

UMass Tops UNH 24-17, Advances To NCAA Semifinals
No. 3 Minutemen to face No. 2 Montana on the road
UMASS WILL PLAY MONTANA AT 7:30 p.m.(ET)/5:30 p.m. (MT) ON FRIDAY NIGHT. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2 in HD.

I would have liked to see an Ohio State vs. Michigan rematch for the National Championship. Do you think Michigan will schedule a game at the end of the year next season? I think the Rose Bowl (USC vs. Michigan) might be the better game.

Florida's selection over Michigan highlights the need for a four team playoff.

I can't believe that UCLA at 7-5 and with a four game loosing streak is going to a bowl game.
