Sporty Sparty

The sparrow's chirp spliced with a squirrel's squeal creates an uncanny, natural ensemble. Replace the elements with a trumpet and saxophone, and the fusion of sounds become melodic.

   "Touchdown, Langford...!", was music to the ears of owners who were lucky enough to have Chicago Bears (4-5) running back Jeremy Langford in their starting lineup Sunday. The rookie from Michigan State was vital for victory to owners, especially for those who to started the season 1-7. Langford was also a key component for the Bears, with a 182 scrimmage yard - two touchdown (one rushing, one receiving) performance as they mauled the St. Louis Rams 37-13. The 6 foot, 208 pound tailback has filled in nicely for Matt Forte, who is currently sidelined with an MCL sprain. Looking ahead to week eleven...

AB84

Being overlooked can be discouraging, especially when you feel your level of performance is elite. Antonio Brown was overlooked by most of the nation as a high school recruit, coming out of Miami, Florida. He attended Central Michigan with a gigantic chip on his shoulder.

No one is ignoring the twenty-seven year-old multi-purpose Swiss Army knife anymore as Brown tests the discipline of defensive units each week. He clearly earned top Fantasy honors for week nine, hauling in seventeen receptions for 284 yards as the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4) squeaked by the Oakland Raiders (4-4) with the score of 38-35 on Sunday.
Brown has sixty-nine catches and 1,002 receiving yards through nine games. He will face a Joe Haden-less Cleveland (2-7) secondary with Landry Jones under center for Pittsburgh.

Look past him at your own risk.

One Win

Although the Big Twelve championship isn't scheduled until December, the most accurate precursor of the collegiate contest was Sunday afternoon. Quarterback Drew Brees led the New Orleans Saints (4-4) to a 52-49 victory over the New York Giants (4-4), extending their winning streak to three consecutive after a 1-4 start.

The Purdue alumnus put on a rather video game-like display in week eight, logging 505 passing yards while tossing seven touchdown scores. Brees' counterpart, Eli Manning threw six touchdowns in a losing effort. Drew-Orleans will take on a dismal Tennessee Titans (1-6) unit desperate for success in week nine. One win at a time...
