I couldn’t believe … actually, I could… that he did it, again.

So, Tony Romo has agreed to a six-year, $67 million deal.  Alas, the Cowboys have a franchise QB.  For years, I thought that they forgot their formula.  Romo is the first QB that they have had since Aikman.  Kudos to them on getting Romo signed.

I usually laugh when people say things like this… but, after this week, we just have to ask… are the Pats the best team in history?  After the 52-7 win over the ‘Skins and the dismantling of the Dolphins, it just seems to me that these guys are that much better than everyone else…. and, yes, I know what you are saying… it is the Dolphins and the Redskins… but, seriously, you have to wonder.

However, they will have their one true test of the season next week against the Colts.  If they get past these guys, well, they are are going all the way… all the way to the AFC Championship - where the Pats will, yet again, meet the Colts.  Who knows what will happen at that point in the season.  Last year, I would have given the Pats the nod in that game - given the Colts’ tendency to blow such games in the past… but, as the reigning champion … who knows how that game will go down?  I just can’t wait to see how this drama will play out, this season.

Wow, I have to say, I totally missed this one… I generally have a policy in fantasy.  I stay away from rookie running backs.  It just seems to me that they are way too succeptible to injury…and, well, they typically underperform…. I do recall how I won a league LT’s rookie year after his break-out weeks #1 and 2… but, that’s another story.

Forward the clock to 2007… I stayed away from Peterson… and boy am I sorry… 5 100 yd+  games - and, well, what he did to the Bears yesterday was simply wrong.  So, do you think he will be a top five pick next year?  I would say … more than likely.  His rookie status is not the only reason I stayed away from him… I just don’t typically buy into the Vikings running game.  This is, generally, a good policy… just not this season.

You (and I) passed on him in the draft… you think he is done, right?  WRONG.  Wow, I try not to kick myself about things like this… it is easy to make a call like this after you see how things turn out… but, WHO would have taken Favre, early?

Right now, if you have Romo or Favre, you are probably sitting pretty.  But, those of us who passed on both of these guys are - well - kicking ourselves right now… instead, I ended up with Marc Bulger… who is … well… pathetic (and perpetually hurt).

This is just a very strange season… it seems like almost every team who had anything to do with the play-offs last season has some kind of paralysis… the Chargers?  YIKES!  (I guess Norv Turner wasn’t the answer.  Why do you boot out someone performing like Shottenheimer?)  … then, there’s the Bears who weren’t good last year… yet, they made it to the Super Bowl… and then you have teams like the Pack and the Lions who are coming out of nowwhere….

And, of course… lest we mention LT…. JEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez… some of us were so glad to get the first pick in our leagues to draft this guy…. and he is an average to below average running back.

I have been thinking, lately, about how the top 3 picks in most leagues were Steven Jackson, LT, and LJ… and none of them are doing anything… yeah, this is a pretty unique season.
