Patrick Crayton needs to shut up.  He has almost nothing to do with the Cowboys record and nobody is interested in what he has to say. Tony Romo and Terrell Owens can all talk as much as they want, but Crayton is an average player who is benefiting from Owens’ presence on the other side of the field. The two teams may be “on different levels,” but it isn’t because of Romo’s number three receiving option. Crayton bragging about the Cowboys’ offense is a bit like the delivery guy bragging about Pizza Hut's market share.

Brandon Jacobs responded to Crayton’s criticism of the Giants by saying it wasn’t a fair assessment because Crayton “sucks.”   While that’s funny stuff, his lack of talent is unrelated to his assessment of the two teams. What Crayton said, while ill advised and irritating, was also probably true.

My favorite sports radio guy, John Renshaw, has resurfaced in Louisville at 1570 the Zone.  The Freak’s career has been intermittently derailed by personal problems, but the guy is talented and fun to listen to.  There isn’t a more knowledgeable college basketball guy and he loves the fans.  He’s a self-effacing man of the people – He’s the anti-Jim Rome. If you’re an old Freakshow guy from his One on One Sports days, catch his show from the ‘Ville on the web. He hasn't lost a step.  (No, this wasn’t a paid endorsement.)

A German stripped naked in the courtroom at his appeal hearing in Berlin last week.  He was appealing a conviction for streaking through a girls soccer match.  Getting naked in court was not a great legal maneuver.

I can’t figure out how in the heck Maurice Jones-Drew maintains fantasy value when he’s sharing carries with Fred Taylor and giving up goal line work to Greg Jones. The guy continues to pan out most weeks.

Damon Huard and Steve McNair just ended their careers as starters in the National Football League.  Kyle Boller should be an upgrade for the Ravens, and the wide receivers there ought to benefit a little, but inserting Brodie Croyle into the Chiefs’ lineup will hurt Tony Gonzalez’s numbers.  Expect a lot more targets to the receivers in KC, but not much production from the offense regardless of who is under center.

I like Drew Carey, but I really could do without the talk show style interviews in the middle of the Monday Night Football games.

My favorite quote of the week came from Bill Parcells.  He said that in the NFL, running back is a "disposable position."  He was arguing that teams shouldn’t spend much money on backs because they don't last and they are easy to replace.  Looking at Seattle and KC, or at about any NFL team, I’d say he's probably right.  Then again if your Minnesota or San Diego, go ahead and pay up.

The Wendy’s Commercials with the dudes wearing the red wigs make me want to eat at Burger King.

I’m still a believer when it comes to Kurt Warner and the Cardinals.  There is just too much offensive talent on that team.  I think they’re on the upswing.

Adrian Peterson has what is being reported as a “mild ligament tear” in his knee.  I didn’t know there was such a thing as a “minor” tear.  They must be grading the injury on the curve. It’s not season ending, so it’s "minor."

Why doesn’t Brian Westbrook get any pub?  He is doing what Reggie Bush is supposed to be doing, but you don’t see him on any spots ordering up a bathtub full of chili or wearing a fake porn-style mustache.
