Well Week 1 of the NFL season is behind us and boy was it dominated by sloppy play. Every game I watched had at least two turnovers and that might not seem like a lot, but it really does make a difference.
There were some good moments for some teams such as the Patriots, Steelers, Colts, Cowboys and even the Lions.
Outside those teams, many games were ugly defensive struggles decided by only a touchdown or field goal or so. Of course it could be some what acceptable since it is the first game that the first string teams play the whole game. But overall I think many defenses looked better than the offenses. There were a few stand out stars, such as the return of Randy Moss who piled up 183 receiving yards in his debut in New England. Of course there is the usual performance of Peyton Manning and company.
The surprise rookie of the week was Minnesota Running Back Adrian Peterson. He had a one hundred yard rushing game and also looked good receiving. Lions Receiver Calvin Johnson also had a good game that included his first receiving touchdown.
But besides NFL football, a couple usual names continued their dominance of their sport. Tennis Champ Roger Federer won his fourth straight US Open Championship giving him a total of 12 major wins overall, only trailing leader Pete Sampras (14) by two. If Federer stays healthy he will most likely tie or even break that record mark in next years season. I mean the guy just turned 26 and is on the verge of breaking a mark that Sampras reestablished just a few years ago. Federer is in his prime now and is clearly the most dominate tennis player in the world and will surely blow past Sampras' mark of 14.
Also getting another win was Tiger Woods. It was Tiger's 60th career victory and gave him the overall lead in the FedEx Cup standings with only this weekends Tour Championship remaining to decide the first FedEx Cup Champion as Tiger looks poised to bring home another title.
All in all I am just excited that it's football season and I am ready for my 49ers to have a big season.
Peace,
Out.
