Kenny M. On The NFL At The Halfway Mark
Posted by kennym on
Same old same old in the NFL? Not even close this season.
Sure, the Indianapolis Colts ripped through the first half of their schedule for the fourth time in five seasons, and the New England Patriots are dominating the AFC East. Yes, Adrian Peterson is running away from defences and the New Orleans Saints are passing over them. The Pittsburgh Steelers are their usual stingy selves and the Lions as incompetent as ever.
Still, this has been a year of disparity and uncertainty.HALFWAY TO MVP: Drew Brees, Andre Johnson, Peyton Manning, Adrian Peterson, Cedric Benson.
NOT HALF BAD, ROOK: Texans rookie linebacker Brian Cushing’s 66 tackles and the Vikes’ Percy Harvin’s 28 catches.
HALFWAY TO MY TURKEYS OF THE YEAR LIST: Raiders tight end Jeremy Brigham is being investigated for an altercation after a peewee football practice.
HALFWAY TO SWEEPING THE AFC EAST: The Dolphins, as weird as that sounds.
HALFHEARTED: What Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell sounds like every time he lines up under center.
