With a great day of football on tap, as well as America actually leading in the Ryder Cup for a change, I have the great pleasure of introducing a new feature to NewsBusters.
Joe Concha is a freelance writer who's contributed to FoxSports.com, NBCSports.com, as well as the New York Sun.
Every Sunday, Joe will get us ready for some football with his own unique style of mixing sports with politics and liberal media bias. Enjoy:
Politics and Pigskin: Week 3 in the NFL
Joe Concha
An unscientific NewsBusters poll says that 82.7% of our readers love the NFL, so why not offer a weekly preview on weekends while MSNBC is mostly in prison doc mode (thereby taking away an avalanche of comedic material that is so biased it practically writes itself)?
As Jody Miller says at the top of her NewsBusted webcasts, let's get started.
Gus Frerotte gets the nod at QB for the Vikings this week, benching Tavaris Jackson who is as effective as the Dems' offshore drilling plan that calls for exploring for oil fifty miles or more off the coast (where, of course, there is none).
Jack Cafferty -- the Olbermann of CNN with the exception that he thankfully only gets to run 2-minute drills as opposed to KO's hour of Obama infomercials -- would likely see racism in Gus getting the nod. Let's just take what Smilin' Jack said on Wednesday and replace "McCain" with "Frerotte" and "Obama" with "Jackson":
"The differences between Tavaris Jackson and Gus Frerotte couldn't be better defined. Tavaris wants to change the Vikings one-dimensional attack. Frerotte used to play for Washington and is a Bush-league quarterback. Yet the coaches bench Jackson. Doesn't make sense unless it's race".
See? You can make anything about race if you really want to.
The Giants host the retro-bad-Bengals at the Meadowlands on Sunday. In other words, the defending Super Bowl champs move to 3-0 without a sweat. And they've done it without the services of their Super Bowl hero, David Tyree.
You remember him? The guy who caught Eli's desperation pass on the Giants against his helmet winning drive during the Super Bowl?
Well, he's now the Aaron Boone of New York sports lore. Greatness bestowed upon him one minute...on the back of a milk carton next to Dan Abrams' picture the next.
Good to see Eli's brother get back on track last week late in a must-win against the Vikes, but it's impossible not to say that Peyton suddenly looks as old as Archie Manning these days.
And who would think even nine months ago that Peyton would be referred to as, "Eli's brother"?
So who has more job security?
Raiders Head coach Lane "I could be flipping burgers tomorrow" Kiffin or Joe "Hillary, take my job...please!" Biden?
Despite some in the media following Obama's lead in declaring our economy is the same as it was during the Great Depression (funny...I must not walk to work where all the soup lines are, and how do all those NFL games keep selling out if everyone is broke?), it appears that the video game industry is AIG-proof.
The latest numbers say sales of video game hardware and software were up again last month to the tune of nearly one billion dollars in revenue. The rise is primarily due to the popularity of the newly released game "Madden NFL 09" by EIA Sports.
So maybe instead of paying off that pesky mortgage, sub-prime recipients are making their thumbs arthritic by pretending to play so much football on games they can ill-afford.
Speaking of arthritic thumbs, it's nice to know that the media thinks that only McCain is running negative ads on Obama.
It appears that whole ad about McCain not being able to type due to his injuries while in captivity never happened...
...much like that whole Aaron Rodgers implosion never happening like it was supposed to in Green Bay.
Can you believe this guy? He steps right into quarterbacking the Packers, which is kind of like being a community organizer except that you have actual responsibilities, and all he's done is make everyone forget about the great Brett Favre in two games (4 TDs, 0 INTs, 117.8 passer rating). Rodgers is not unlike Favre in terms of his ability to improvise...
and is very unlike Favre in terms of throwing the ball to the wrong team.
Big test against the Cowboys at home this week, who look unstoppable on offense but as clueless as the militants on The View on defense (except not quite as angry). Either way, this game will likely break all Sunday Night football ratings records for NBC, which Olbermann will naturally use as leverage to get Rachel Maddow her own post-game show. Rachel's first topic? A cynical analysis of the Arizona Cardinals never winning a Super Bowl during John McCain's tenure in the Senate...
Speaking of NBC, loved the SNL skit with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin (it saved an otherwise-unwatchable show with Michael Phelps hosting...who should clearly consider teaching swimming lessons at the local YMCA instead).
It begs the question: Does Fey -- a huge Hillary fan -- want the eeeevil Republicans to win in November? A GOP victory could do for her career what George H.W. Bush did for Dana Carvey's and what eight years of Bill Clinton did for Darrell Hammond's W-2. Does money trump principles like it does with most free agents in sports?
Whoever wins the Presidency, his first order of business should not be the economy or education. Rather, it should be to immediately demand that the Rams go back to wearing the coolest uniforms on earth. The switch to navy and gold from blue and yellow made absolutely zero sense. I mean, they won a Super Bowl with those classic unis, but allowed some marketing genius to change their entire identity since then. The result: Choking away the Super Bowl the following season after the switch, followed by early exits in the playoffs and now what we're currently seeing (See: The worst team in all of sports who will win as many games against playoff teams as the completely-unlikable Chris Kofinis will win as anyone's communications director).
The message: Never, ever mess with karma.
Week 3 not-for-profit predictions:
Giants -13 over Bengals
Chiefs +5.5 over Atlanta
Bills -8.5 over Raiders
Texans +5 over Titans
Redskins -3 over Cardinals
Dolphins +12.5 over Patriots
Bears -3 over Bucs
Vikings -3 over Panthers
Rams +10 over Seahawks
49ers -4 over Lions
Broncos -5.5 over Saints
Eagles -3 over Steelers
Jags +5 over Colts
Browns +2 over Ravens
Packers +3 over Cowboys
Jets +9 over Chargers (and condolences to the millions who took Tomlinson first in their Fantasy drafts)
The first two weeks of the NFL season have already been the most exciting in recent memory. So if you're suffering from election fatigue, or those hacked Sarah Palin emails aren't doing it for you from a scandalous-entertainment perspective, sit back and enjoy watching something on TV without, for once, being told how to think.

Tradgedy in Greenville
September 21, 2008 - 10:11 ET by ricklailSaturday evening I commented on the sports thread that there was no joy in Greenville after the ECU loss to NCSU. Little did I know at that time there was something that caused greater sadness throughout the city than a Pirate’s loss. Jequan Walker, running back for J H Rose HS collapsed after coming off the field in the Friday night game against Hoggard of Wilmington. He was rushed to Pitt Memorial Hospital. He died just before noon on Saturday after his parents had his life support removed. So far there hasn’t been a reason given for his death. It struck the whole city because Rose is the only HS in Greenville proper. Many ECU players are grads of Rose.
If pro is the opposite of con what is the opposite of progress? Congress!

September 21, 2008 - 11:14 ET by sublight68As much of a dyed-in-the-wool, red-white-and-blue, patriotic conservative that I am, for some reason I always find myself rooting for the Euros in the Ryder Cup.
I don't know if it's because the European team members seem more like real people I could hang out and have a beer with or what.
Some of the American team members are my favorites during normal tour events (Furyk, Leonard, Perry, Kim...though I actively dislike Mickelson), but when they come together as a team I find myself pulling for the other guys. This is the only international event where I actively cheer for someone to beat the US.
Am I the only one?

September 21, 2008 - 11:54 ET by Jay in NHSubl,
No, as I was discussing on the course this am w/ others, I have historically rooted for the Euros. They were always eminently more likeable, with better eitquestte, and cared more for the game and its history. Also, there was David Duval who, several years back, agitated, with some others, for better compensation for players, and griped about other amenities thay should receive. So sad his game went into the crapper. Now though the dynamic has changes, Europe has euroweenies, and I love the american youngsters, Kim, Holmes, Boo, et al. All in all, if fisticuffs don't erupt, and nobody is struck by lightening, it's great stuff.

September 21, 2008 - 15:32 ET by bloolooDolphins 38 - Patriots 13!!!
My, how the mighty have fallen... So, who do you like in the AFC now? Everybody moved up a notch after Brady went down. Now, there's an even bigger chink in the Patriot's armor. And, the Colt's just don't seem to be their same old selves. This thing is wide open! Woo Hoo! I have to confess I'm a Charger's fan, but, the berth at the top of the AFC is anybody's for the taking...!
blooblo...I agree this
September 21, 2008 - 15:56 ET by bigtimerblooloo...
I agree this is wide open..
I also am a Chargers fan have been forever...I don't even want to talk about last week...
Nevertheless this should be a fun season...
Watching the Seahawks/Rams game at the moment...I sure hope the Seahawks don't screw it up...like they're prone to do...I also like the Rams, but since Warner left...it hasn't been the same, although I like Bolger too..speaking of Warner did the Cardinals win their game...does anyone know off-hand..
I'll look it up later if not.

No way
September 21, 2008 - 22:34 ET by MichelleCAs a life-long Hawk fan, there was no way this game was getting away from us. We don't screw up too often at home and we own the Lambs right now. The road is, admittedly, another story.
Our secondary killed us last week and Mora probably gave them the tongue-lashing they deserved. I cannot wait until Mora takes over and replaces John Marshall as DC because his "bend don't break" defensive philosophy drives us batty (not that I want Holmgren gone, just Marshall). Also, our WR corps has been all but wiped out. Even Koren Robinson got hurt after we picked him up to tide us over till our starters came back! It's to the point where all we can do is laugh now.
We needed this game and good timing to have it against the Lambs (we've beaten them seven consecutive games). We'll win the division (like that's hard) and hopefully make it past round one of the playoffs this year. Oh, and Joe, good thing your prediction was "not for profit" ;-)

Another unBEARable loss
September 21, 2008 - 16:18 ET by LionKingFor the 2nd week in a row, the Bears lose because they tried to "manage the game". In other words, they started playing NOT to lose and in fact, lost.
Playing not to lose is not the same as playing to WIN!!!
Ryder
September 21, 2008 - 16:25 ET by Noel SheppardThe Cup's back in America where it belongs! ns
RYDER CUP...
September 21, 2008 - 19:21 ET by danybhoyWhat was odd is where many in the UK were pointing the finger of blame. I'm watching SkySportsNews(fox)on FoxSoccerChannel, & the e-mails/texts were blaming Fldo for not picking Clarke & Monty. Blame Faldo where he slotted some people in the Sunday lineups, but Monty? Poulter had Monty's spot, & kicked butt. It was Europe's Big3 that sucked. Harrington, Westwood, & Garcia brought nothing, & won no points this weekend. Westwood does'nt enjoy playing here, was upset his buddy Darren Clarke(1 of my favorite golfers)was'nt on the team, & complained about being abused by some fans. I'll wait to here more on that before I pass judgement. If it happened, that is sad.
The other thing is, America's kids came through, Kim, Mahan, Weekly, & Holmes were huge. Also, Kenny Perry was great this weekend. After he won his match, & his family came out to great him was cool. His 84-85 year old dad comes out & he's wearing bib overalls. I thought how perfect for 1 of Kentucky's own in Kentucky. It was priceless...

September 21, 2008 - 19:56 ET by Noel Shepparddany,
I agree. Poulter was the star of the Euro team. In fact, you could make the case that he was the star of the entire tournament.
Can't blame Faldo for how Harrington, Garcia, and Westwood performed.
On a different note, is it time for America to just not let Phil Mickelson be on Ryder Cup teams? This guy's record since 1999 is atrocious. ns
LEFTY...
September 21, 2008 - 21:25 ET by danybhoynoel, I am no Mickelson fan by any stretch, even though he is a Callaway guy like me(I was using them 1st)but as long as he qualifies for the team through whatever point system they have use to form a team, he's in. If he sucks during the season & has to rely on being a captain's pick, like saaaay, Monty, then you might have a case. The guy does not come through too often in he Ryder Cup. He was ok on Friday when paired with Kim, but he was his normal disappointing self after that.

Ryder Cup
September 21, 2008 - 21:07 ET by dboThe other thing is, America's kids came through, Kim, Mahan, Weekly, & Holmes were huge
I think this was my favorite Ryder Cup ever. 1999 was also great but that was mainly because of one day only. All 3 days this year were highly entertaining. I never recall seeing so many close matches before. I don't have any fingernails left.
The American rookies were huge (Boo for President) and a lot of the credit has to go to captain Azinger.Two years ago Azinger took on the PGA of America to change the selection process. Instead of 2 captain picks this year there was 4. Azinger also managed to have the date pushed back 3 weeks on when the team had to be announced. This combination made it possible to field a team that was more on top of their game than in previous years. But regardless of Azinger's leadership, the boys still had to hit the shots.
Noel, I know it's no excuse this year that Phil didn't elevate his play (or even play to his potential) but I did one to make one point that I haven't heard any of the pundits make. Because the PGA Tour changed its schedule last year, this is the first time the Ryder Cup has been contested while the PGA tour is still in the height of their season. In previous years many of the American golfers would, for all intents and purposes, shut their games down after the PGA Championship in August. By the time the Ryder Cup came along in the 3rd week of September their games were reallly rusty. Tiger and Phil and many others would continually underachieve. Hopefully this will be a good omen for the future now that the Cup is played during the heart of the PGA playoffs.

September 21, 2008 - 21:32 ET by Noel Shepparddbo,
Was this my favorite Ryder? I don't know. In '99, I was on vacation in Hawaii, and watched the miraculous comeback Sunday from a tiki bar with a bunch of drunk tourists. It was a blast.
On the other hand, the caliber of golf this week was amazing. And the crowds were great. ns
Thanks great-great grandad for getting out of dodge
September 21, 2008 - 23:29 ET by dboThe '99 comeback was an amazing day. What made it even sweeter for me was the unbelievable sour grapes from the European team afterwards. Wisconsin could not produce enough cheese to go with that European whine. :-)
THANKS NOEL!!!

My Old Kentucky Home
September 21, 2008 - 19:13 ET by Copperhead RidgeI was glad to see the two Kentucky boys do so well at Valhalla.
I used to hunt quail where Valhalla now stands and grew up about two miles from where the course is located.
I don't know J.B., but I've heard that he's a nice guy. I've met Kenny Perry on a couple of different occassions, and he IS a nice guy.
The Browns had another stellar performance today!
September 21, 2008 - 20:24 ET by goldenthroatRavens 28 - Browns 10...downright pathetic!
Right now, the orange and brown are an unimpressive 0 for 2008! I can't help but think that Browns GM Phil Savage probably has another coach in the wings already for this uninspired team. It becomes more painful by the week to be a Browns fan but those of us in NE Ohio have to keep the faith - only because it's all we have left! We have college teams in this area that could beat the living crap out of the Browns with the way they're playing.
Don't wait until the next embarrassment - fire Crennell now, Phil! This man is not a head coach - not now, not ever.

September 21, 2008 - 20:35 ET by stratmanParts of the game were exciting, but the multiple miscues and poor judgements by players and staff continue to "dawg" the Brownies.
Very painful to watch.
What is causing this team to be so different this year?
As for Romeo, does he fashion himself a Tom Landry quiet type? If so, his silence is deafening.
Some quotes from Landry:

September 21, 2008 - 20:07 ET by UnsaneAllow me to thank the Falcons for beating up on the Chefs. A loss by an AFC West team that is NOT the Broncos is a Broncos victory!!!
I'll take the win, and I know my boys faced an amped offense, but the Broncos HAVE to get better on the D.

September 21, 2008 - 21:46 ET by UnsaneNoel - I got in from work just in time to hear Olberdork in the studio commenting on games. So he was there pregame. I was surprised (pleasantly so) to NOT see him at halftime. He is normally present for both pregame and postgame.
I know what you mean about him. Seriously, BEFORE he decided to become a hyper-Leftist shill, we probably would watch his sports broadcasts, but now? Can't do it, knowing what an idiotic boor he is.
