When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If you live in Philly or South Jersey, you take said lemons and make the lemonade in a special way: smacking them against your head while watching the Eagles, and using them as stress balls while watching the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles lost in a disappointing game against the Chicago bears on Sunday with final score at 19-16, falling to 2-4. The offense played well, allowing one touchdown on a crucial 97 yard drive with less than 4 minutes in the 4th quarter. The offense however, should be ashamed of themselves, marching down the field as many times as they did, only to fall back to just about 2 of 13 Red-Zone possessions on the season.

The New England Patriots continued to dominate the league barely needing the Red-Zone as they bowled over Miami 49-28 to continue to 7-0 while Miami maintained the opposite record. The Miami Dolphins and St. Louis Rams are the only two winless teams in the NFL thus far. Contrary to their sub par standings, the Colts and Pats have once again proven to be the league's best teams and both seem poised for a 16-0 regular season. However, after their much anticipated November 4th meeting, only won team can continue on. As of now, 15 teams have winning records, 3 teams are at .500, and the remaining 14 have losing records. Perhaps this may be because some of the NFL's hottest teams right now face those sub par teams? Should schedules be made abased on the current season and not the previous season?

The Boston Red Sox are playing the Colorado Rockies in a minute or two for the first win of the 2007 World Series. In a related story, George Steinbrenner offered his friend Jim Torre's $5 million dollars to watch the playoffs for him. He's kind of busy right now trying to find a quality coach who he can bring in and use as a scapegoat for overpaying his players and letting out of control payrolls become his newest hobbies.

That's all for now, I'll be back on Friday to talk football.
Until then,
