A THRILLER(byT)
I looked at a replay of the Denver and San Diego game along with catching the final quarter on Sunday the 14th . In the final minute of the game, the Broncos had the ball on the Chargers 1 yard line. Jay Cutler dropped the ball as he wound up to throw it and a Charger got it into his arms. Referee Ed Hochuli ruled this an incomplete pass. When the play was reviewed, it was clear that it was a fumble. The difference? The player's arm has to be moving forward with intent to pass to be considered incomplete. A fumble is a loss of the possession of the ball. Cutler's arm was cocked back when he dropped the ball. A fumble. As it goes, after Hochuli's premature call, Denver scored a touchdown and a winning two point conversion. The end result was a 39-38 win for the Broncos.
Starting off the season the Bronco's are 2-0. Cutler has thrown for 650 yards. Fantastic! Even in the toughest challenge yet, in the Chargers, the Broncos look exceptional. Their next game is the 1-1 Saints who lost to Washington in their last game, 29-24.

Digg thisDenver vs. the Raiders and More(byT)
What an opening night! The Broncos had lost seven straight road games on Monday nights, so, at the start of the game, September 8th, I didn't know what to expect. Denver had a terrible 2007 season. I'd be the first to admit that after John Elway I had no faith in Cutler. I could not see anyone filling the shoes of that great Quarterback. Monday night, Cutler made me pay attention.
Cutler appears healthier and his arm stronger. His passing was fluid and he appeared fearless. His supporting cast of wide-receivers Eddie Royal and Darrell Jackson and my favorite tight-end Tony Sheffler, were on fire throughout the game. I thought I would miss WR Ashley Lelie, now playing for the Raiders, but that position has been filled with awesomely capable athletes.
The Raiders were held scoreless until 2 minutes into the 4th quarter. The Broncos beat and bloodied the Raiders by ending the night with a score of 41-14. Their next game is at home vs. the Chargers, Sunday September 14th. I pick the Broncos because Cutler is a better Quarterback than Rivers. Cutler has a more powerful arm and his accuracy is almost scary. Cutler is also motivated by proving that he and Denver are a team to look out for.
If he plays, the Broncos will have to contain Tomlinson. L.T is beast. The Offensive line will have to work that much harder if the defense collapses and doesn't do its job at containing him. I think, at most positions, the Broncos have a better team than the Chargers.
Finally, the teams I'm looking out for, for various reasons, are the Redskins vs. the Saints. My honey loves the Skins, I'll be routing for them because of love. LOL I'll be looking out for Green-bay because I'm interested in their performance after losing one of the best QBs in history. And the Jets game vs. the Patriots. One, because of Jet Farve, and two because the Patriots have lost an awesome QB, Tom Brady, to injury, for the season.
Whoever said women just watch football for the tight pants, lied. LOL
IT'S THAT TIME(byT)
Books, check.
Pens, Paper, check.
Clothes pressed and ready, check.
Sports bag packed, check.
Car washed, check.
Tomorrow begins my early schedule back to school. I'm taking all morning c.lasses. I love that schedule. I have to get to school a bit earlier, than what is necessary to be on time for c.lass to get a great parking space.
I have a full schedule. Work, school, the basketball team and being a wife. LOL I believe that all of us women have at least a little bit of superwoman within us. Some more than others. My schedule suits me fine.
Today, TNT is airing all of the Lord of the Rings movies. I've been taking breaks here and there to watch them. It is one of my favorite movies. Rather they are three of my favorite movies.
Of course, I have to watch Sunday night football. After the game I will get into bed. Though, I should turn in at 9. That is it. That is all. Goodnight all. And for those returning to school, have a great year.
SORE(byT)
AAAAAArgh!! I'm so sore guys. I'm having a hard time straitening my right leg. It's so painful when I try to stand or walking around the house. I'm stretching it now as I sit and type. I might have to cancel my walk for tomorrow.
Today, I did a seven mile walk. I was supposed to go to the court to shoot around a bit but, when I returned home, all I could do was lye in the bed. LOL My ankles and feet were screaming at me.
I'm, of course, continuing to watch the Olympics. I haven't watched much else since it's been airing. Track and Field is, I think, my favorite event. I watch all events but Track and Field is one of the best. Jamaican runners have dominated this year.
Just a thought; For those returning back to school, especially, college because you may have already gotten your books for the semester, open them and shake off the rust from the summer. Go through the chapters of your text books just to get a feel for the lessons. When I was a child, my mother would let us have fun, sure, but not until after we studied. She would create daily work for us; reading and math and she would correct it as needed. My mother pushed reading very hard throughout our vacation. When we returned to school, there was not much of an acclamation period to the new year because we had studied throughout the summer.
NEXT WEEK, BACK TO SCHOOL(byT)
How are you all? How's the Family? LOL Monday, the 25th, begins the Fall term. Any of you returning to school? I purchased my books at the school store this past Friday. I also did a little shopping. I purchased some new digs. Calvin Klein and Polo shirts and some new bottoms.
Things I still need are;
1. A digital voice recorder. At least 500 MB, no static, should be able to record over 100 hours, should be able to recharge using my computer port(like my cell phone), high quality sound etc..
2. An office desk and chair. We have a study/office in our home that we have not furnished yet. This is our present project. This space needs a sofa, lighting, book case etc..
3. A new car. We have an Impala and a Navigator. My commute from home, to work and to school, is a bit of time on the road. So we are getting a more efficient vehicle. Yay!
4. Work out equipment. I like to work out in the nude so I need my own ½ a gym. I have to keep up my strength, stamina etc. for the basketball team.
5. A bodacious book bag. I'm probably going to a sporting goods store to purchase this. I need it to carry my lap top as well as my books. It also needs to have ample pockets and such.
6. Madden 09. I need to be able to take an awesome break from the study grind.
7. A desk top computer. Being a gaming lady and student that I am, what do you suggest?
8. More digs. I gotta keep it fresh. LOL
