NFL Week 4 Recap
Mike Vick got hurt trying to rush for a score. He could be out ½ weeks, this is a big blow to Philly… The Eagles were able to hold on and McNabb beat his old team in Philly. He did receive a standing ovation at the beginning of the game.
The Falcons got another W they didn’t deserve. They should be 1-3 not 3-1. Nate Clements, $9M per (I think $13M this year) whom I told you all he was overrated a while ago (check the rankings posts), intercepted “Matty Ice” and then allowed Roddy White to strip him at the end of the 4th quarter. That loss is all on Clements and his bloated contract. I’m tired of hearing about the Falcons, their like the Broncos last year, can’t wait for them to get knocked off.
The Ravens beat the Steelers on a clutch play by Joe Flacco followed by a clutch INT by Ray Lewis. Just think, the Colts wish Kelvin Hayden caught his possible game winning INT but he didn’t, and they lost… The Ravens are 3-1 and Ed Reed hasn’t stepped on the field yet and Mount Cody is still rehabbing his knee.The Steelers are 3-1 and almost went 4-0 without Big Ben… Now things get interesting, how will the team respond to him coming back and taking command?
The Bengals lost to the Browns… T.O. had 10 for 220 and a TD. Carson Palmer played better but he needs to step it up. What happened to the Bengals’ D? They obviously miss their run game from a year ago.
The Colts lost on a last second 59/60 yrd FG. The Jags are 1 of the many inconsistent teams in the NFL. I do have to say that Gerrards possible game losing INT was not as bad as some on TV have made it seem. If he took a sack they are way out of FG range, if it’s intentional grounding same thing. He had to throw the ball and he was falling backwards. He probably should have 1 hopped it though.
The Bears got killed by the Giants. The Giants D Line beat down Jay Cutler who had a concussion by halftime…
The Patriots killed the Dolphins in the 2nd half of their game with blocked kicks, kick returns, INTs, etc. Randy Moss had 0 catches… Chad Henne clearly isn’t as good as everyone on TV has been saying.
The Titans lost to the Broncos by not fielding a kickoff… No it wasn’t an onside kick…
Other Games:
Saints beat the Panthers
Jets beat the Bills
Texans beat the Raiders
Chargers beat down the Cardinals
Rams beat the Seahawks
Packers beat the Lions
Idle:
Boys
Chiefs
Vikes
Bucs
ESPN Power Ranking Issues:
1. Steelers; They lose and remain on top because they get Ben back?
4. Jets; They beat the Bills…
5. Falcons; Really? See above
10. Chiefs; Stop…
Next Week:
Packers @ Skins
Giants @ Texans
Titans @ Boys
Vikes @ Jets
I will refrain from adding fantasy scores this week. Not because Trey requested it but because I don't have different names for everyone this week.

Interesting per-capita rate of NFL player
The two biggest states in America are also the two biggest producers of NFL talent. A recent study on which states have the most former high school football players in the NFL revealed, unsurprisingly, that California and Texas are the best producers of talent, with Florida close behind.
The most impressive showing is by Louisiana, which ranked 25th in total population but has the sixth-most high school players in the NFL. The Pelican State has the highest per-capita rate of NFL players (1 in 65,720) followed by Mississippi (1 in 76,883). By comparison, California's rate is 1 in 175,163.
There's an obvious correlation between high total populations and high NFL player totals. Seven of the top 10 biggest states also are in the top 10 of the list above. Somewhat surprisingly, New York is the biggest exception. The third-most populous state isn't represented well in the NFL, failing to appear in the top 15 of talent production. A lot of that is due to the fact that 40 percent of residents live in New York City, an area not known to produce football stars. But it's a big state and it's surprising that there isn't enough high school talent to compete with, say, New Jersey.
Populations of each state:

How Cool is Pres Obama... He Bumps Nas!!!!
Who knew Obama bump'd Nasty Nas aka "God's Son", I wonder which Nas track he has on rotation... **dream bubble** "black zombies" or maybe "tick tock" shout out to Alchemist on that sick beat!!!!
What music have you been listening to lately? What have you discovered, what speaks to you these days?
My iPod now has about 2,000 songs, and it is a source of great pleasure to me. I am probably still more heavily weighted toward the music of my childhood than I am the new stuff. There's still a lot of Stevie Wonder, a lot of Bob Dylan, a lot of Rolling Stones, a lot of R&B, a lot of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Those are the old standards.
A lot of classical music. I'm not a big opera buff in terms of going to opera, but there are days where Maria Callas is exactly what I need.
Thanks to Reggie [Love, the president's personal aide], my rap palate has greatly improved. Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I've got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert. Malia and Sasha are now getting old enough to where they start hipping me to things. Music is still a great source of joy and occasional solace in the midst of what can be some difficult days.
