Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

How refreshing to see that little has changed in the NFL.

Jake Delhomme made his return for Carolina and looked…well, like a quarterback coming off an injury.&#160 IOW, he didn’t suck, but he wasn’t all that great, either.

A lightning storm chased the players off the field during the first quarter.&#160 Mother Shitcan would’ve called it “a little wind & rain”.

…

We have ourselves a JoMarcus Russell sighting!

Russell started for Oakland – and looked pretty good at times.&#160 On one touchdown drive, he rolled left, then fired a bullet back across to the right to a not-too-terribly-covered Zach Miller.

He was only 10 of 17 for 75 yards – but I imagine that’ll get better as he goes along.

…

Memo to Green Bay:&#160 Yes, I know you wanted to go with Aaron Rodgers – but His Almighty Favreness still has something in the tank.

Just 10 days after being acquired from Green Bay, Favre finished 5-of-6 for 48 yards and the touchdown. He said his arm felt fatigued early in the week, but looked strong in his two series. He lasted 14 plays after coach Eric Mangini said he expected Favre to take 8-12 snaps.

“I felt like I threw the ball well, moved around OK,” he said. “Ten days ago, I was doing yard work.”

The other Brett, Ratliff, threw for 148 yards, including 71 on the final drive.&#160 Mike Nugent’s 23-yard FG attempt hit the upright as time ran out.

…

The post-Super Bowl hangover continues for the New England Pansies.&#160 Brady didn’t make the trip, and Matt Cassel flat-out sucked.

With the 2007 MVP [Tom Brady&#160 -Ed.] sitting out for the second straight week, the defending AFC champions sputtered with backup Matt Cassel running the show in a 27-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.

“I think it was pretty obvious we’ve got a lot of work to do, based on tonight, in all three phases of the game,” said Belichick, who played down the significance of Brady not playing.

Brady remained at home, reportedly to rest a sore foot, and Cassel had limited success moving the ball against a feisty Bucs defense that scored on his third-quarter fumble and intercepted the first pass thrown by successor, Kevin O’Connell.

…

The zebras are still slurping the balls of the Douchebags; Brandi Jackoff is still a pussy and a hot-shit wannabe; the D-bags’ O-line still holds on every friggin’ play, and Ewi is still a pansy.

Problem was, Cleveland played worse.&#160 A lot&#160 worse.

New York’s 37-34 exhibition victory Monday night was made easier by the Cleveland Browns, who had a season’s worth of mistakes in little more than a quarter, including 98 penalty yards and a fumble that resulted in a 95-yard TD for the Giants.

That return gave New York (1-1) a 30-3 lead less than a minute into the second quarter, one that second- and third-stringers barely managed to maintain.

That return came after Cleveland’s Syndric Steptoe brought back a kickoff 90 yards for a near score.&#160 Nothing went right for the Browns last night, and that sequence typified it.

The bad news is that the D-bags won’t be as bad as their third-stringers.&#160 The good news is that they’re nowhere near that good to begin with.

And as soon as the zebras start calling the games properly&#160 last year’s fluke factor will be evident to all.

…

I’m not all that concerned over the Cowboys’ suddenly woeful offense.&#160 I’m only minorly pissed that an undersized Denver outfit pushed them around, both offensively & defensively.&#160 And I’m hacked that the special teams did only marginally better than last week.

But this is what worries the hell outta me:&#160 Tony Romo has stopped running.

Case in point:&#160 2nd quarter, C’boys ball, 3rd-and-4 at their 26.&#160 Romo evades the rush, scrambles to his right, where he’s got all day to run – then pulls up short and badly overthrows Sam Hurd running a post.

The old Romo would have run for the first down.&#160 I dunno who&#160 this guy is.&#160 But I do know that when Romo doesn’t run, the C’boys don’t win.&#160 Keep your eyes on that going forward.

The officiating sucked as badly for us as they did for Cleveland.&#160 There were more phantom pass-interference calls, as well as a couple of bogus personal-foul calls.&#160 Meanwhile, Denver’s shit didn’t stink as far as the zebras were concerned.&#160 Ed Hochuli – if you paid as much attention to your eyesight as you do your biceps, you might&#160 make a halfway-decent referee.

Bruce Read needs to go as special teams coach.&#160 Even when the C’boys do something right – they blocked a punt in the third quarter – they found a way to fuck it right back up (the punter caught his own blocked punt and raced 29 yards up the backs of the Cowboy punting unit which was setting up a return).&#160 Read just needs to go.

And why the Hell&#153 are we still lining corners up 15-20 yards off the receiver?&#160 Do we really want our opponents playing fucking pitch-and-catch all day long?&#160 Dave Campo, are you listening?

The PFW returns on Thursday.

Denizens, the Line Of The Day&#153 comes from this comment by “catchem” from an Obambi thread over at Free Republic:

A friend just notified me that after a speech to a gathering of Native Americans, Obama was presented with a plaque stating that his name would henceforth be ‘Walking Eagle’.

When asked the significance of the name, a spokesman said it signified a ‘stutting bird too full of shit to fly’.
