He's done it before and he's only 77 years old, maybe they get ahold of Earl Morrall: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Morrall

I was thinking George Blanda, but he passed away last year. :(

Packers beat the Saints in a wild shootout, 42-34... What a way to kickoff the NFL season. :applaud:

Couldn't watch the game because of the county-wide power outage in my area. :shakehead:

Tried listening to the game on radio but the reception for that channel was bad, so I spent the evening sitting in the patio, bathed in moonlight.

Best back-up QB in NFL history.

Wonder why Manning waited until May to have the initial surgery when he could have done it earlier?

The defenses didn't show up.

The Packer defense showed up on the last play of the game. :P

Terrific second weekend of college football. Lots of contests came down to the very end of the game.

Michigan--Notre Dame: It wasn't a well played game, but it sure was a 10 in terms of entertainment. Denard Robinson, whether making good plays or bad plays, is one exciting sonofagun to watch. I'm sure 114,000 people at the Big House and a national TV audience will agree.

Iowa--Iowa State: The Cyclones won on the last play of triple overtime. Then in their exuberant post-game celebration, they proceeded to break the interim CyHawk trophy given to the winner of this intrastate rivalry. It was an interim trophy because officials had taken back the previous trophy because of so many complaints about how ugly it looked.

Utah--USC: The Trojans blocked a FG on the last play of the game to preserve their victory. Utah showed it could compete in the Pac 12, but USC, despite the sanctions leveled against them, still has superior talent in comparison to their opponents.

Auburn--Mississippi State: Tigers managed to win another game they probably should have lost when a back-up safety tackled the Bulldogs' 240 lb. QB inches from the goal line on the last play of the game.

South Carolina--Georgia: The other USC beat an embattled Mark Richt and Georgia in a very entertaining game. The Gamecocks' Melvin Ingram, a defensive lineman, had a memorable game, scoring one TD on a 68-yard fake punt run, scoring a second TD on a fumble recovery, and successfully fielding an onside kick at the end of the game to help preserve the victory.

Rice--Purdue: The Owls blocked a Purdue FG attempt on the last play of the game to win by two points. The last time Rice had beaten a Big 10 team was in 1997, when America was a much different place back then.

Ravens crush the Steelers, 35-7... Thanks to seven Pittsburgh turnovers.

The Manning-less Colts get routed by the Texans, 34-7. :sweat:

Jets beat the Cowboys in the Sunday night game, 27-24.

A Cowboy loss is always a good day in football.

Ravens' defense looked strong. They were just taking it to the Steelers.

Romo really did his part for the Cowboys' loss. :shakehead:

They were at home and fired up, particularly after blowing that playoff game back in January.

Patriots beat the Jets in a shootout, 38-24.

Tom Brady throws for over 500 yards and Chad Henne throws for over 400.

It was the Dolphins. :mrgreen:

The offense was solid. Great job by the offensive line. I loved the use of the TEs.
Defense needs some work.
