What say ye? The season is off and running, and we never got an HRC fantasy league going, argh!

Steelers looked good, gotta give it to Big Ben, looked decent (OK, fortymile, I said it) Troy Palamalu is a bada$$! Minnesota looked decent, that Percy Harvin guy might really become something...Packers/Bears was boooooring...

Niners got a win, but I didn't get to watch... I think I would've been frustrated considering what I read in the paper. Niners have a new play by play guy on the radio. So far, I'm not a fan...

also, ever since TV went digital, I can only get CBS and PBS and some VHS stations (we don't get cable). That means I can't get the NFC games that air on FOX... so no Niners on TV this year I think...

Ya, I didn't get to watch either. Listened a bit on the radio. Glad the vikes came out with a win. Time will tell on that.

oh, he can't play until week three? Why? Something to do with murdering dogs and stuff or is it something else?

roethlisberger on pace to beat elway and marino in comebacks...

www.post-gazette.com/pg/09260/998664-66.stm

"Either way, he said, Marino is the champ, no matter how you count them.

"Semantics are exactly why the Broncos have fooled people into thinking John Elway has 47 comebacks, when he only has 34," Kacsmar said. "They count all these games where it was tied and the team never trailed in the fourth.

"Meanwhile, the Dolphins didn't do that when Marino played, so they make you think he only had 37. But, if you apply the same standard to Marino's career as was used with Elway, you'll see he leads Elway, 51-49, in overall fourth-quarter wins (36 to 34 in comebacks). No matter what you want to label them as, Marino has the most in history, though Ben's putting himself on a nice pace to claim that record."

In five seasons and one game, Roethlisberger has 18 "game-winning drives" plus two more in the playoffs. If only comebacks count, he has 16 total (four games were tied in the fourth quarter when he brought them back, technically not "comeback" victories).
