The American Pastime

Jets vs. Bengals last Sunday

Posted in Uncategorized by theamericanpastime on January 16, 2010

Since it’s my first post on this blog, I think I’ll start things off with a riddle to break the ice.

Q. What’s the difference between a football, and the common cold?

A. Braylon Edwards can catch the common cold.

Really though, what a money pass from Senor Sanchez that Edwards dropped in the Endzone, which could have made Sanchez’ already impressive line (12/15, 182 yards, and a TD), even better, in the USC alum’s first ever playoff game.

Talk about rookies, what was Frank Gore doing on the Jets on Sunday? Oh wait, that was Shonn Greene, rookie outta Iowa. Dude got barely over 100 carries all year, then goes for 135 yards on 21 in the postseason. The man is a beast. 5’11′, 226 with some serious speed outta the backfield.

A lot of people own Chad Ochocinco in fantasy football; Darrelle Revis owns him in real life.

Can you say shutdown corner? With Revis on him in week 17 of the regular season, and the opening playoff game, Chad managed a total of two catches for a laughable 28 yards. To put that into perspective, Revis had nearly as many yards on his interception return as Ochocinco had receiving in two games.

That’s all I got for the game. Thanks for reading, and look out for my upcoming stories on the world of soccer. Just kidding, I only write about sports people like.
