(This has been attempted three times now, so I'm glad it's finally going through! Looks like the blog bugs have been worked out...?)
Football season is back (hence my change in image!) and while both of my teams had rocky starts, things are looking up after Week 3. The Washington Redskins, with a new head coach and coming off a very shaky 2007 season, are back with two consecutive wins following a loss to the Super Bowl champ Giants. They beat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, 24-17 in a game where both teams seemed to lose interest by the end of the third quarter. Jason Campbell has been looking good, and Clinton Portis had a very good game. Next week is Satan's Minions - the Dallas Cowboys.
Meanwhile, my Yahoo Fantasy Football team started out the season 0-2, but we had a big win on Sunday to put one in the "W" column. I'm currently ranked 8th out of 10 teams in my league, but I'm hoping for another big win this week to boost my point total and hopefully bump me up a few slots.
And, football means fall which means new TV! I've written and reviewed Fringe, which is my pick for best new series. But I've also been watching House (because my wife still likes it...I think it jumped the shark with Season 3) and we both watched the return of Heroes. After a rough second season, I thought the premiere was fantastic, even if the ratings are off. Other than that, I'm waiting for the returns of The Office and 30 Rock after some great Emmy wins. For some reason, I watched the Knight Rider pilot on Hulu and turned it off after 10 minutes. I'm all for light adventure in this age of too-serious drama, but this is the biggest piece of crap network TV has rolled out in the non-reality category in years.
