As Seen On TV

I love the point Bill Simmons made on his Twitter account yesterday.  To paraphrase, if the Colts decided their starters would only play a half, why not the second half?  I felt terrible for Curtis Painter yesterday.  I mean, he should have been able to do something, but he now has he weight of destroying the Colts perfect season on his shoulders.  If nothing else, Painter is the victim here.

Anyway, here is what I saw while watching the slate of NFL games in Week 16.

Sean Payton may just have a two back philosophy.  When Pierre Thomas was hurt yesterday in the second quarter I figured Mike Bell would take over his carries and have a big game.  Instead, Lynell Hamilton pretty much took the Thomas carries, keeping their running back rotation intact.  I'm not going to be a fan of any Saints runner in 2010.

Buffalo is a long way away from fantasy relevance.

Jerome Harrison has done enough to start in Cleveland in 2010.  I actually think this team is further ahead than the Bills, Rams, Bears, Lions, or Seahawks at this point.

Matt Schaub is the greatest first half quarterback of all time.

Guys who didn't win any 2010 points yesterday:  Julius Jones, Quinton Ganther.

The guy most likely to swing Week 17 championships:  Jonathan Stewart.

Matt Moore is better than Jake Delhomme.

The Pats may have finally pulled the plug on Maroney after yet another fumble at the goal line.

So funny that Arian Foster put up 97 and a touch yesterday.  Also funny that the Texans finally start to play ball once their playoff hopes are finished.  Can't wait for Kubiak in 2010.

Watched some of the Chiefs game and I came away, as usual, very impressed with Jamaal Charles.  Look out if that guy gets an offensive line.

Looking for 40 yards and no fumbles out of AP tonight.

Cheers,
