As Seen on TV

Sunday was just a bizarre day.  We had bizarre coaches making bizarre decisions and we has bizarre outcomes in some games.  Still, the most puzzling thing about the whole day had to be the mystical hypnotic powers of the Creamsicle.  Not only did I hear the word Creamsicle over 50 times Sunday, creating a gratis marketing bonanza for the parent company, we saw that the uniforms actually turn some of the Bucs players into real NFL talent as well.  Who knew?

By the way, is it just me, or did no one used to call those uniforms creamsicles until they stopped wearing them.  I was shcoked by the fact that every person on TV felt the need to pile on the same joke.

Anyway, here is what else I noticed during the Week 9 football action.

The Chiefs backfield is a mess.  I saw Kolby Smith and Jamaal Charles both in the game at different times inside the 10 yard line.  Dontrell Savage was in the mix too.  Gee, I'm so happy we have another coach who is going to try and be smarter than everyone else (except for the part that these overcoaching backfield moves are more in the box than out these days, and the fact that it doesn't work).

Can't wait for the third installment of the Kubiak experience after the Texans bye week.  In addition to a brutally prepared team in the first half and a game-costing decision to not run a play before the Colts could see a replay of a Ryan Moats fumble at the two minute warning, Kubiak now has a situation on his hands.  Did you catch it?  Moats fumbled, and it cost them the game.  That's exactly why Slaton was benched, other than the fact that Slaton's fumble last week didn't cost Houston anything.  Now whatcha gonna do Gary?  Can't wait.

I've got the running back rankings like this. 

1. AP
2. CJ
3.  MoJo
4. Ray Rice
5. Everybody else.

Chris Johnson was getting goal line carries Sunday.  Stick a fork in LenDale Wh....well, at the risk of inspiring an act of self-cannibalism, let's just say LenDale has no more fantasy value.

The ol' number one wideout rule comes through again.  Tony Romo was ignoring a single covered Miles Austin Sunday night to force the ball to his diva, Roy Williams.

Derrick Ward looks like he's put on 20 pounds from last year.  He's slower and running nothing like the guy that was arguably the best back the Giants had in 2008.
