The Red Zone Channel: Dallas 13 Tampa Bay 7

I’m watching the Red Zone channel now, and while it’s freaking fantastic for staying on top of all the action, the host is the equivalent of Adam Schefter reporting on methamphetamines. (Or rather, more methamphetamines.)

Let’s take you to Jacksonville! Nowwww let’s go to Detroit! Let’s take a peek at the action in Houston! Okay, then: back to Carolina, where Jake Delhomme is trying preserve a shred of dignity. WAIT! Let’s go to Cleveland!

I’m not sure I can handle this for an entire three hours. In any case, Tampa Bay K Mike Nugent missed a 46-yard field goal before the half--after Byron Leftwich overthrew a pass by a solid 8 yards, missing a wide open Antonio Bryant in the endzone--making it a 13-7 ballgame. Tampa will get the ball first after halftime.
