Random Observations...

I hear plenty of people saying the J-E-T-S are D-O-N-E. They're not.
Stop whining and get to work. Just like Herm Edwards is doing.

Note to John Madden: Manute Bol called and wants his tie back.
Did you see that thing he was wearing Monday night?!

Denver coach Mike Shanahan was fined $20,000 for his comments about the week two officiating in his game. A week one brawl on the 50 yard line earned Jeremiah Trotter and Kevin Mathis $5,000 fines. Yeah, that sounds about right.

To paraphrase Ferris Bueller "the NFL moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around, you could miss it"... The Bengals offense is the Greatest Show on Turf and the Colts defense looks like the Steel Curtain. At least we can count on Denver owning Kansas City at Mile High.

Would you have believed me in August if I'd told you that three weeks into the regular season, Eli would have more than twice as many touchdown passes as Peyton? Yeah I wouldn't have believed me either.

Peyton Manning owners: I know things seem bleak but don't panic. The Colts new-found defense is changing the offensive plan somewhat, but unless you think the 2004 offense hinged on Marcus Pollard, this is the same offense.

Watching TV this weekend I'm now convinced that I'm officially the last guy in America without a tattoo.

I wonder if the Browns were worried about facing Dwight Freeney on Sunday. On one play, Trent Dilfer lined up under guard Joe Andruzzi before being "shooed" away.

Something you may not know about referees – They get bye weeks too.

In case you were wondering if that preseason spat between D-McNasty and TO was going to affect their chemistry on offense, check out this series from Sunday's game vs. the Raiders...
*1st-10 from the OAK 19 D.McNabb pass to T.Owens to the OAK 9 for 10 yards
*1st-9 from the OAK 9 D.McNabb pass to T.Owens to the OAK 4 for 5 yards
*2nd-4 from the OAK 4 D.McNabb pass to T.Owens for 4 yards for a TOUCHDOWN.
The soap opera is officially ov... well it's on a commercial break.

Julius Jones vultured two touchdowns away from Keyshawn Johnson on Sunday. On two separate trips to the red zone, Keyshawn caught a pass of 10+ yards and was tackled at the 1-yard line. Jones scored both times on the very next play. From a fantasy standpoint, a matchup between two teams with Julius Jones vs. Keyshawn Johnson, that's a 24 point spread on 4 plays.

You won't hear about this on ESPN, but Patriots coach Bill Belichick surprised veteran Steelers trainer John Norwig who rushed onto the field when Patriots tackle Matt Light was seriously injured. Belichick told Norwig to "get away from my f***ing player!"

Quote of the week: New York's Vinny Testaverde was addressing a large group of reporters and writers after arriving at the Jets complex: "For those of you who don't know, my name's Vinny Testaverde."

Vinny later said that several of his teammates said they remember him from the Tecmo Bowl video game.
