NFL Quick Hits

Monday Night’s game was the lowest scoring game in MNF history. This was partially due to the terrible field conditions (4 high school playoff games Friday, Pitt-USF Saturday, and torrential downpours) and partially due to the inept offenses of the Steelers and Fins.

Ricky “toke ‘em if you got ‘em” Williams returned to action on MNF, carrying 6 time for 15 yards. Guess he doesn’t like his grass that wet.

Thursday’s Packers-Cowboys game…Brett Favre is 0-8 lifetime at Texas Stadium.

David Garrard still hasn’t thrown an INT all year and has a passer rating of 103.1.

Justin Fargas (son of Antonio “Huggy Bear” Fargas of Starsky & Hutch fame) ran for 139 yards against KC. He’s the first Raider back to eclipse 100 yards against the Chiefs in 29 years (Arthur Whittington, 134 yards, November 5, 1978).

LT joined the 10,000 yard club with 77 yards on 24 carries.

Note to Mike Shanahan… Devin Hester is good, real good. Do not kick to him, ever.

Note to all remaining Pats opponents… Asante Samuel is good, real good. Do not throw near him, ever.

Archie and Peyton should have beat on Eli a little more when he was a kid and toughened him up. What a wimp. Note to Giants front office… Philip Rivers went 25-of-34 for 249 yards and 3 TDs. Ouch.

For any PAC-10 AD’s looking to fill out their schedules…check with the NFL. The AFC West and NFC West have only two NFL-caliber teams…the rest might be good early season tune-ups for most PAC-10 teams.

Rumor is that Big East Commish Mike Tranghese is looking to upgrade the conference by adding the Jets and Dolphins. Problem is the Fins may only be the third best football team in the state behind UF and USF. And the Jets might be the third best team that plays in New Jersey behind the Giants and Rutgers. Geez, maybe he should bring back Temple. The Owls have twice as many wins this year as The Jets and Fins combined.
