NFL '06 - Week 1

What is it about NFL season that makes every day seem a little bit brighter? :P I didn't know if I was going to like Monday Night Football on ESPN, but I have to say that I'm impressed. They have some nice bottom thirds and the announcers aren't too annoying, except for that guy from Pardon the Interruption... How about some scores? I don't have the express written consent of the broadcasters or the NFL, so I hope they don't bust in here and shoot up my laptop...

I managed to come out all right in this first week of TV.com's Football Smashup... 13 for 15. The Jets/Titans game was a toss-up, and I picked Tennessee. I thought that they were actually going to be able to pull it out right at the end. The only thing that really surprised me was 2005's 8th worst offense rolling over 2005's 8th best defense for a 27 point shut-out... Crazy. I almost picked Baltimore for no better reason than I don't like Jon Gruden. But what are you gonna do? Tampa was the 2005 NFC South champion after all. And I'm really glad that my Falcons ran all over Carolina and only 27% of the Smashup voters thought they would win.
