No Joy in Mudville

Base10 was completely disapointed this past weekend by his beloved Jets. Gang Green lost to Buffalo 22-17. What's worse, Chad Pennington separated his shoulder and will be out 2-4 weeks. The only good news in all of it was Quincy Carter's performance. He comleted a 51-yard pass to Santana Moss in the 4th quarter. As much as we all love Chad, he doesn't have the king of gun for an arm that Carter has. With speed merchants like Moss to throw to, Base10 thinks Carter and the Jets will do just fine.

The Jets weren't the only disapointed team in New York. Our crosstown cousins, the New York Giants were stunned by Chicago losing 28-21. Bear in mind that the betting line on this game had the Giants laying 9 1/2. Ouch! Well, there's always next week New York fans when the Jets meet Baltimore and the Giants play Arizona.

In other football news, how 'bout them Steelers! Riding on the shoulders of rookie QB Ben Rothlisberger (who Base10 picked up on the waiver wire in his fantasy league at the begining of the year), Pittsburgh beat Philly, the only remaining unbeaten team. This comes one week after beating the only other unbeaten team--New England. Way to go, Steelers!
