Highs and Lows- NFL Week 1

I know what it says in the "About Me" section of the blog layout. But I'm going to do some complaining in this post.

I just cannot believe how badly my beloved St. Louis Rams played today. they just plain sucked. Let me quote that "Pin Pals" episode of "The Simpsons": "Those guys sure did suck...They were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked." Losing 38-3 to the Philly Eagles today was just inexcusable. Not that there's any shame in losing to this Eagles team in and of itself. But to lose by that much and to play with no real sense of team effort was just painful to watch. After that game today, I am curious as to how these guys can think that they are worth every penny they're paid. And I have nothing against athletes being paid what they are. It's a free market, and if someone thinks they're worth that, I've got zero problems with that. And I'll gladly contribute it by going tot he games and buying the gear. But come on Rams, do you really think you earned it today?

But all is not lost! It's hard to live in Western NY and not fall in love with the Buffalo Bills. What a game they had! They crushed the Seattle Seahawks, a Rams division rival. I turned off the Rams game once it got completely out of hand and switched to the Buffalo game. I made my choice and I stand by it.

Another positive note is that I am able to track my fantasy team players on DirecTV. I am a proud subscriber of DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket package. Kudos to DirecTV!
