- On Sunday I commented that although the NFL slate of games for Thanksgiving was pretty lackluster, I was at least thankful that I no longer had to watch Joey Harrington on Thanksgiving. At the time I didn't know there was a third game with Harrinton's Falcons taking on the Colts. Still I was safe as Harrington had been so bad, he had been benched for maybe the 15th time in his career or so. I spoke to early as it was announced yesterday that Harrington will start vs. the Colts tomorrow. Maybe next year?
- There is a lot of talk about who will win the NFL MVP. The three front runners are Tom Brady, Terrel Owens, and Randy Moss. Don't involve yourself in arguing with anyone over this. Brady has it and barring injury will run away with this one. A receiver would only get this award over his QB, if he had a massive share of the TD's and catches and the quarterback threw a lot of picks to dampen his case. This is not the case with Brady and while Owens is having a great season, one that will likely be rewarded with a lot of NFC awards, he has no shot in overtaking Brady.
- I recently engaged some friends about what's more entertaining between NFL and College. I used to be an NFL guy, but my love for my alma mater and how intense this 2007 college season has been has put me fully behind college. For many it boils down to the fact that NFL is the pro league with names they recognize. Very understandable. However if you look at the quality of games, intriguing story lines, and the pure passion behind the team's you have to give the nod to college. Just take a look at the NFL's slate of games this weekend and tell me what sticks out as being a can't miss. On the college side there is a nice assortment of intriguing games with 4 games having top 25 team's facing off in addition to some great rivalry games. With more college games being broadcasted than NFL, and a MUCH wider distribution of the ESPN Gameplan package compared to NFL Sunday Ticket, I think college football is in great position to grow their fan base at a faster rate than the NFL
