Sunday Bloody Sunday

Today kind of really sucked, football-wise, didn't it? And the weekend started off so promising, what with Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg.

But today. I mean, Jesus. The Patriots lost, for one.

Then the BCS rankings screwed Texas. This sums it up for me:
The Sooners (11-1), who lost to Texas 45-35 in October, barely edged the Longhorns. Oklahoma has a .9351 BCS average. Texas' BCS average is .9223. Oklahoma will play Missouri for the Big 12 title. So the Longhorns will be watching two teams they beat play for the conference title.
The BCS can go and drown itself in a lake.

And, on a more personal level, my fantasy team was eliminated from playoff contention put out of its misery. This underwhelming crew was devastated by injuries to Nate Burleson and Reggie Bush. LaDanian Tomlinson did his best to emulate Shaun Alexander's career arc/spectacular decline. For someone with such (deceiving) great stats, Phil "Marmalard" Rivers' douchiness was almost matched by his inconsistency. And special thanks to Marvin "The Invisible Man" Harrison and Hines "My Team Won't Put the Ball in the Air" Ward.

I guess I should be at fault, for running a worst draft than the Jets. But hey. At least we're not the Lions.
