Football's Back!!!

We had a boring Thursday Night opener, except for Brandon Jacobs smashing Laron Landry...hard! Sunday was a lot better, action-wise, with some really entertaining games.  Favre made his debut, Brady went bye-bye (not that that was entertaining or was it...), and Carolina had the rare walk-off TD victory.  Sunday Night Football wasn't very exciting, but that was okay because it left more time for me to watch Serena do her thing and win the U.S. Open.  Now I'm 3 and a 1/2 hours from seeing how my Raider Nation starts and I can't wait.

Besides the best of the Sunday action my favorite part of the opening week was the premiere of "America's Game- 2007 NY Giants."  It's a good story; maligned coach and quarterback, 0-2 start, 11 straight road wins, culminating in beating the 18-0 Patriots with the help of the "Greatest Superbowl Play Ever".  What makes this episode of the always great "America's Game" really fun is that the season's story is told by Tom Coughlin, Michael Stahan and Eli Manning.  Manning and Strahan are especially funny; Manning in a dry "aw shucks" kind of way and Strahan in an exhuberant, class clown kind of way.  It's great TV!  "America's Game" isn't going to stop there though.  Soon the tales of the biggest NFL losers is coming when "America's Game, the Lost Rings" premieres...
