Geez...I've never been a fantasy league's whipping boy before. Unless Rich Gannon throws for about 400 yards and 6 touchdowns tonight, I can look forward to a 1-5 record and adding (?) to my league-lowest score. On paper, things looked pretty good at the beginning of the season.

Games 1 and 2 of the World Series have had no moments of compelling play, and this is exactly why a typical baseball fan should be pissed at Dusty and Grady for not being able to manage correctly the LCS games and putting two perennial losers in the World Series. These 2 games could have been played exactly the same way between the Cubs and Red Sox and it would already be 10 times more dramatic. In Game 1, we had all the scoring in the first few innings, then the bullpens shut down everything. And the same goes for Game 2. Could it be possible that the Eagles-Giants game was more interesting? Well, no, but it at least brings up the question.

Although the Titans are now 5-2 and have the media gushing about Steve McNair (deservedly, and finally) and how this team ranks in the league, I still worry about their occasional mental lapses on defense. They gave up some fairly big pass plays, and you can say it was during the so-called "garbage" time of the game, but during the garbage time there were still key starters playing, and you saw people slipping, missing tackles, and at one point of the game nearly unable to restrain themselves (particularly Albert Haynesworth) when Stephen Davis started trying to retaliate for what he perceived as after-the-whistle cheap shots. I will give credit to them, because in week 1 they probably don't restrain themselves and cost themselves 15 yards. Also, I think we can definitely sit back and enjoy Haynesworth getting hurt every year for significant amounts of time because he is simply out of shape. Already spending time hurt this year, I saw him lying on the ground in pain twice yesterday. It will be an interesting test, I believe, when they play Jacksonville, as to whether they are ready to be consistent with their so-far good play over the last two weeks. Because that's the type of game where, after you've destroyed 2 straight opponents, you wonder why it's so close in the third quarter (if you don't take the necessary steps to put them away early).
