Sucked Into the NFL’s Black Hole, Week 7
Hines Ward Getting the Message.
Ward has already been fined twice this year for unnecessary roughness, but despite that he continues to prove this ain’t no pansy game with jaw-crushing blocks like this:↵

↵For the record, that was actually a jaw-crushing hit. Rookie Keith Rivers is out for the season with a broken jaw. Welcome to the NFL.↵
↵The Favre Mystique. Brett Favre looked like a kid out there yesterday against the Raiders. Meaning he literally played like a 12-year-old boy would against an NFL defense: 21-of-38 for 197 yards with three sacks, two interceptions and no touchdowns. He also blew several opportunities to beat the lowly Raiders, but couldn’t pull it off. On top of all that, there’s this report that Favre helped the Lions prepare for the Packers in Week 2. Not like Favre helped Detroit or anything -- they lost that game 48-25.↵
↵↵Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers beat slightly better competition, as he led the Pack to a dominating 34-14 win over the Colts. ↵

↵Shockey’s Honeymoon in New Orleans. Jeremy Shockey said after the Saints loss to the Panthers yesterday that he thinks the team mishandled his sports hernia injury and rushed him back too quickly. This is shocking news because Jeremy has always been such a model citizen. Their tight end mouthing off is the least of New Orleans’ problems at this point. They just dropped to 3-4, lost Reggie Bush for a few weeks, and must play their next “home” game in London. ↵
