No run today. So, instead, I'll share some thoughts on the first full week of college and pro football:
NFL:
1) Three quarters into their season, Jay Cutler looks like one of the two or three best QBs in the NFL. So far, this really feels like a torch-passing season for QBs. Brady's out. Peyton Manning looks uncharacteristically unprepared and confused. Granted, McNabb looks great, but he's always an injury risk (I hope he stays healthy. Inasmuch as any player deserves to win a Superbowl, Don McNabb does). But, there are several emerging young stars who will very likely be the next superstars. Cutler has to be the favorite. Ryan and Flacco looked really solid as well.
2) The Raiders will go 0-16. There is something terribly wrong there. Do they have coaches?
3) The Bills will be the best in the AFC East.
4) The Redskins are a total mess. I wonder how long a sudden-death match between The Skins and Raiders would take? It would likely be as intriguing as a McCain speech.
5) The Bears are actually going to be good if Kyle Orton can continue to not suck.
College:
1) What's going on in Southbend? Do they really think that installing Klaus Kinksi behind center is going to make a difference? How can a team with top 10 recruiting classes manage to be so slow, weak and small? Are these top 10 academic classes?
2) College sports needs more afro'd dudes called Boo.
3) BCS Championship game: USC 35, Oakland Raiders 0
The Red Sox are 1/2 game out of the East. Although I'd like to see The Rays win the division, I don't think it's going to happen.

Knew I any football, I'd like to think that my thoughts could be as thoughtful as yours. But I don't, and I don't, and they're not.
I wonder whether in your previous post you used the word "stomach" euphemistically, as I have done on my own blog. Actually, since that post featured a visit to Red Robin, your entire digestive system could now be shutting down.
