The Steelers brought back their Jersey from 1934 and they looked amazing. Now I might be the only person out there who actual liked them but they were very cool. How often do you see strips on football jerseys? The Steelers played the Redskins this past Sunday. To put it kindly, the Skins were stepped over and left in the dust. Nothing seemed to go right for them from the start, Griffin was fine but the receivers couldn't catch a thing. Their gloves must have been greased or something before the game. Oh, while I'm on the topic, the Skins have brought back Chris Cooley. I am mildly peeved at the Skins for letting him go and than bring him back part way into the season. If the only reason they cut him was to reduce his pay is just plain ridiculous. Yet again this is sports, people not politics. If you want mess with politics go somewhere else and stop messing with the sports world. Yes I'm glad Cooley's back but I almost wish he was on a better team. The Skins, after a good start to the season but have started to slip into the old ways of the team. The defence needs work and the offence definitely needs help to keep the rookie QB safe. Possibly if they can pull their act together they can have a decent season for once this year. DeAngelo Hall was ejected from Sunday's game and is facing a possible fine and/or suspension. It took Big Ben as well as several Redskin players to get him to head to towards the bench. He still "tried to explain" his side to the refs before being ejected. He just didn't know when to cool it. Here's a Pic of the Steeler's uniforms in case you didn't see them.
The Patriots played the St. Louis Rams in London, England. The English must have a soft spot for the Pats since their are banners from all over London (This is slightly biased since I just see things from the Pats on my feed and nothing from the Rams. There could be just as many Rams signs as Pats). I did not see this game but from the highlights it was very event that the Rams were out matched. Rob Gronkowski may have taking the end zone dance a bit to far during the game although it did make for great entertainment for us. I always like to watch the London game and it's great that we're sharing our sport but, this is one thing that I don't think will catch on besides more fans. I don't think that there's enough people out there who would be willing to play. I diffidently do not want this to become an Olympic sport like commissioner Goodell wants. It just wouldn't be fair to the other countries since we've had a several years experience in how the sport is played and actual playing it. The only other country to my knowledge that plays American football is Canada and they play it on a shorter flied that's also wider. I just don't think it would be a good sport to add to the Olympics. I love football and all but just not in the Olympics.
Now I don't talk about college football that often but in this case I felt I needed to. The UMD Terps' have lost four of their four quarterbacks. No that's not a type-o. All four of the QB they recruited to play are now out with season ending injuries. Junior C.J. Brown who was supposed to be the starter this year tore his ACL during an preseason drill. Freshman Perry Hills tore his ACL trying to make a tackle in the N.C State game on Oct. 20. Sophomore Devin Burns took over for Hills after he was injured until he broke his foot later in the game. Finally Freshman Caleb Rowe tore his ACL in the Boston College game Oct. 27. So the Terps have no option but to turn to two former quarterbacks. Freshmen: Shawn Petty, who was recruited as a linebacker; and Brian McMahon who plays tight end. They both played quarterback in high school and were good at it. Just not enough to get recruited as one. Petty will start Saturday against Georgia Tech for his first college QB debut and McMahon will be his back-up. They don't have a third string quarterback. I don't know if it's just dumb luck or a curse but most teams have a lot of injuries just not all to quarterbacks. Or at least this many in one season. Hopefully they won't need a third string, because they might be hard pressed to find one. They're probably lucky that they had two players who played quarterback in high school. Otherwise they may have been walking around the locker room with a clip board asking if anyone had played quarterback when they were younger. Maybe this will be the end of bad luck for the Terps or at least as far as quarterbacks go.
Adam LaRoche received a Gold Glove and is now a free agent. I hope he decides to come back to the Nationals or finds another good team to play on were his skills will be used to the fullest of their potential.
