Game 2 of the ALCS was an epic playoff game that did more than just go the distance, it went into extra innings, and thus late into the night. And because it went late into the night, my guess is that's the only reason this nightmare above ever happened. TBS must have just been gambling and said to themselves "I'm sure no one's watching us anymore at this hour, might as well let the guys try and sing Bon Jovi."

As Cal Ripken says at the end, "That was brutal." Oh my yes, was it ever.

Something tells me we won't see a similar postgame performance after tonight's game. Or, if we do, hopefully they'll at least be slightly more in-tune.

Here are the scores for today's late games:

Cardinals Win Crazy OT Game Over the Cowboys
: It was a bizarre game to say the least.  Early on, it looked like the Cardinals had a 14-0 lead on a fumble recovery TD, but it was called no fumble without much of an explanation.  Nick Folk gonged one off of the goal post, and it came down to the Cardinals up by 10 with 3 minutes left.  Marion Barber gets a 70 yard pass to make it a three point game.  Then, Dallas forces a punt, gets the ball back, and completes one setting up a 57 yard field goal.  But when they spiked it, Travis LaBoy was a mile offside, giving them 5 yards and making it a 52 yarder.  And the kick barely had enough to force overtime.

Dallas won the toss, which usually guarantees victory.  But they had to punt, and Sean Morey flew in and blocked the punt, and Monty Beisel picked it up for a TD to win the game.  Romo had 3 touchdowns and 3 fumbles.  Neither team could run, but Marion Barber and Steve Breaston each had 100+ receiving.  With that, both teams are now 4-2.

Jaguars Over Broncos 24-17
: Both starting running backs were injured.  However, Maurice Jones-Drew and Michael Pittman each had 100 yards.  The Jaguars D was very strong against the pass, as Denver only averaged 5.2 a pass.  Garrard was 25-34 for 276 yards.  Jones-Drew had two touchdowns.  Jaguars are now 3-3 and the Broncos are now 4-2.

Eagles Get Road Win 40-26 Over 49ers
: Statistically this game wasn't too lopsided.  The 49ers had a chance late too.  With less than a minute left, down by a possession, J.T. O'Sullivan threw an interception to DE Juqua Parker who took it to the endzone to end the game.  O'Sullivan threw two interceptions and fumbled once.   23 points were scored by Philly in the 4th quarter, who came into it down by 9.  With that, the Eagles are 3-3 and the 49ers are 2-4.  You also wonder a bit if Mike Nolan is running out of time.

Packers Beat Seahawks 27-17: The Packers had almost double the yardage of the Seahawks despite the struggles of the running game.  Ryan Grant had 90 yards, but it took a crazy 33 carries to get it.   Time of possession was all Packers however.  The mighty Charlie Frye, as expected, was mediocre.  2 touchdowns, but 83 yards and two picks.  Packers are 3-3, and Seahawks are a sorry 1-4.

So after six afternoons of football, things are as screwy as ever.  In the NFC, the Giants are 4-0 (soon to be 5-0) and then you have a plethora of 4-2.  Dallas, Washington, Arizona, Tampa, Atlanta, Carolina are ALL 4-2.  Not to mention 5 teams at 3-3. 

Then in the AFC, you have the 5-0 Titans on bye, along with the 4-1 Steelers and Bills on bye.  The Broncos are 4-2, and perhaps should be 3-3.  The Patriots are 3-1, San Diego at 2-3 playing tonight.  The Colts and Jets are 3-2, the Jaguars are 3-3 and then you have the rest.

Ah NFL football, you never cease to shock and confuse us.

Manny Being Manny:

Game 3 of the NLCS is tonight. The Dodgers are down 2-0 in the series so far to the Phillies, and Hiroki Kuroda (9-10, 3.73) will try to give the Dodgers a chance against 46-year old Jamie Moyer (16-7, 3.71).

The Phillies took the first two games at home, but will now have to take their show on the road to LA. Moyer's postseason record is 3-2, with a 2.67 ERA. Kuroda went 6+ scoreless innings in his postseason debut against the Cubs.

69% of FanIQ picked the Dodgers to win. They'll need to, because only one team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best of 7 series in MLB history. I also think the Dodgers will win, and think that this will be a high-scoring affair, much like Friday's 8-5 Phillies win.

My prediction: Dodgers win, 9-7

Discuss it here, or on the game page. Enjoy. Because as you've probably heard a few thousand times, there's only one October.

The New England Patriots and San Diego Chargers have suffered possibly the worst injuries in the entire NFL this year. The Patriots lost Tom Brady for the year, and the Chargers lost Shawne Merriman.

Now, the teams will meet in Sunday Night Football in a rematch of last year's AFC Championship game. Both teams have had a hugely disappointing loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Patriots lost to them 38-13 in week 3, and followed it with a bye, and then a win against the 49ers. The Chargers lost to the 'Phins 17-10 last week. Both teams have been a little disappointing, but the Patriots still only have one loss, albeit against a horribly weak schedule thus far. The Chargers are 2-3, and already 2 games behind the Broncos in their division, but have a chance to pick up a game after the Broncos lost to the Jaguars.

64% of FanIQ picked the Chargers. Can't say I blame them, since Tom Brady is the key to the Patriots' offense. But since I have faith in my team, I'll say Patriots 20, Chargers 19.

Discuss the game here or on the game page.

Well, you figured it was bound to happen. Roger Goodell is apparently going to discipline Pacman Jones on Monday or Tuesday according to multiple sources.

I hope "discipline" is code for "kick his ass out of the league" but we'll see what happens. Apparently it's not known whether Pacman will be fined or actually suspended. But either way, it would appear that he's not actually going to get kicked out of the NFL...yet.

Ed Werder of ESPN also reported this morning on ESPN that the hotel bathroom beat down involving Pacman and his bodyguard was apparently more violent than has been previously reported. Guess who the source was, by the way. It was Pacman, who apparently has been telling his teammates about it all week long. What a dumbass.

As you're probably well aware of, Jerry Jones tried to defend Pacman late this week by saying that had there not been bodyguards with Pacman, this whole incident never would have happened. Although had Pacman not had bodyguards with him, it's probably safe to say he would have left a trail of dead bodies in his wake.

But as for Goodell's decision, we'll have to wait and see what happens. As far as I'm concerned, if Goodell doesn't kick Pacman out of the league, Goodell's just as much of a joke as Pacman is. Goodell already stated that if Pacman screwed up in any way shape or form after his year long suspension, he'd be done. Let's see if Goodell sticks to that, although I doubt it.
