Welcome to the Realm™ - Version 5.0...

Denizens, any of you remember a li’l punk named Maurice Clarett?&#160 You know, the snot nose that sued the NFL for the right to enter the league despite not being old enough?

If you’ll recall, I had a little something to say about it.&#160 Part of which was:

Actually, I’m hoping that whatever team drafts him, makes him a fuckin’ fourth-stringer. What’s he gonna do then? Sue the team for the starting back’s job?

Well, he finally grew up – chronologically, anyway – and got drafted by the Denver Broncos, a team known for cranking out great running backs.&#160 Of which Boy Maurice would be the next one, right?

Wrong.&#160 Denver’s gonna cut his ass tomorrow, Clarett never having risen above third string.

Guess you weren’t all that and a bag o’ chips after all, were you, Boy Maurice?&#160 I’d keep that attorney’s number on standby if I were you.

Arlington Heights 24, Azle 21
Atlanta 23, Jacksonville 7
Washington 17, Pittsburgh 10
Dallas 21, Houston 9
St. Louis 37, Detroit 13

Down 21-7 in the third quarter, Arlington Heights scored 17 unanswered points to defeat the Hornets.&#160 Coach Duke Christian can breathe easy for another week. (grin)

Bill Cowher needs to do something about Ben Roethelisberger, or else the sophomore jinx is gonna get him.&#160 He’s overthrowing everyone and everything.&#160 He needs to have a good year because Jerome Bettis blew something out in the loss to the ‘Skins.

Detroit introduced their new black home jerseys last night vs. the Rams.&#160 Jerry Jones should take notice and do something similar, because the Lions looked very good in them.

Trouble was, the unis were the only thing that looked good for the Lions last night.&#160 Joey Harrington is inching closer & closer to official “bust” status; the Detroit running game is non-existent, and the defense is worse, at one point allowing a Marc Bulger 10-yard run up the middle for a score. (For the Uninitiated&#153, Bulger’s the quarterback – he took a snap from under&#160 center, stepped around him and strolled, untouched,&#160 into the end zone.&#160 Pathetic.)

Fortunately, the Rams won’t need Bulger to carry the running load.&#160 Stephen Jackson is the real deal – a big speedball who can either run around you or over you.&#160 If the Rams play a modicum of defense this year – watch out.

And don’t look now, but the Cowboys actually – dare I say it? – played well Saturday night.&#160 The offensive line kept the Texans off Drew Bledsoe for the most part, and he responded with a very nice game (11-18, 133, no picks).&#160 Julius Jones had 10 rushes for 50 yards and a touch, Tyson Thompson added a TD, and even expected Tuesday cut Quincy Morgan got into the act, catching a Tony Romo TD pass.

Patrick Crayton had 3 catches for 63 yards, and you fantasy guys may want to snap him up but quick.&#160 Your obdt. svt. (a little Blackie Sherrod lingo, there) thinks this is Crayton’s breakout year, which would give Dallas a nice receiving corps.

The defense, while not all that great yet, is starting to look like it won’t be the swiss-cheese unit it was last year, and it turned in a workmanlike effort in easily handling the Texans.&#160 They had two picks and a fumble recovery, and seem to be adapting to the 3-4 fairly well.

In fact, the only thing wrong with the game Saturday night is that it was too damned hot inside the stadium.&#160 Jerry Jones, I know you want to invest all your $$$$ into your new digs in Arlington – but could we get at least a little bit of air conditioning in that place?

The PFW will make an attempt at returning on Thursday.&#160 That’s moving day, though, so no guarantees.
