tw> If you don't want to do that mess, there is a simpler formula that works.

  No, it doesn't. It's wrong.

tw> NFL Rating = 100 * (20 * Comp + Yards + 100 * TD - 80 * Int) / (24 * Att)
tw> + 50/24

  Here's the correct formula:

          100   (Yards + (COMP*20) + (TDs*80) - (INTs*100))    50
  RATE =  --- * ------------------------------------------- +  --
           24                    Attempts                      24

tw> This does not include the idiot NFL cutoffs for great or pathetic perfor-

  Therefore, by definition, it isn't correct. I know this formulation well,
  since I used to use it when posting QB ratings last season, and I also know
  that it's wrong. It's also from the book "The Hidden Game of Football", and
  unless you derived it yourself, you really ought to give credit where credit
  is due.

tw> If a QB has stats like that, you probably should use the long method.

  If you want the right stats to fall out, you *have* to use the "long method".

There was a time that this was a regular halftime feature, showing
highlights of great games from the previous Sunday.  I actually recall
running to the men's room in the dorm during the two-minute warning and
getting some popcorn so that I wouldn't miss the halftime highlights.

Rypien is a perfect example of how a brilliant system, coach, and collection
of players can make a marginally above average quarterback look like a 
Superbowl MVP.  There are probably 10-15 QBs in the league who could have
won a Superbowl in Rypien's jersey last season.  And then he asks for four
million bucks a year.  How fortune does smile on the few.

Yes, ABC used to do this until the early 1980s: the "Halftime Highlights"
segment on MNF.  I think it was discontinued because (1) the serious
football junkies have already seen the highlights on ESPN, CNN, et al.,
(2) the casual football fan is presumed not to be interested in YMPF
(Yet More Pro Football), and (3) old pompous Cosell wasn't around to
deliver his inimitable commentary any more. :-)

I wish I could've seen Howard at his peak (early 1970s); he was different,
to say the least.

Sean Jones signed wednesday.  Dishman yesterday.  BOTH are starting this
Sunday, but it remains to see how effective they can play with only a
couple of practices.  I'm sure they got a LONG workout today.

Also, Fuller is close to comming in now.  Perhaps the Oilers will
resemble a team now, maybe even one with superbowl potential.  However,
I'm leary of the Colts new defense.  Coryatt and Entman could do lots of
damage playing with virtually any team I would think.

Normally, I wouldn't respond to such a post since it'd pretty much be
pissing in the wind. However, today's Falcons/Jets game clearly showed
how badly decimated the Falcons defense is. The absence of Deion Sanders
and Brian Jordan was rather telling on the performance of Tim 
"the loudmouth" McKyer and the other members of the toasted secondary.
I mean Nagle, Moore and Carpenter might well be the next big offensive
troika but they are still essentially rookies and between them they
managed to rip the secondary to shreds. And a defense that is hardly
one of the premier ones in the NFL managed to completely bottle up
the much-vaunted 'Red Gun' for the better part of 3 quarters. 
If it hadn't been for two incredibly bad calls by the referees, plus
two FG misses the Falcons would be 0-1 tonight, as it is they'll be
lucky to have a winning season.

The Saints remain the best bet to challenge the Niners for the division
but today they showed once again that their offense is not quite
up to it. If Hebert goes down, their season is over. Otherwise they
have a good shot at a wildcard spot.

>Unlike Chris, I don't claim to be a football genius, just a big fan.  I

Well, its pretty clear you're not a football genius. Falcons "perenially
good" ? Do you even remember the last time they had a winning record
prior to 1991 ?

What are Falcons fans' sentiments toward Andre Rison these days?
After seeing him sitting smugly on the sidelines in street clothes, I
couldn't help but wonder if the fans resent him for missing all of
training camp.  How long do you suppose it will take him to get back
into form (and uniform, for that matter)?

From what I read in the papers I believe that in the final roster cut

Other sites, Wisconsin and Iowa.  I'm not sure about the Dakotas

     The main thing I noticed during the game was that, whenever Neal tried
   to run there was NO hole to run through. Except for the TD run, the OL
   never gave him a decent hole to hit. I dont know if its a coincidence or
   what, but a RB can't be effective if there is no hole to at least try to
   run through.

Well, the Lions have invested big time in the DL over the last three years: 2
#1, a #2, and a #3.  Unfortunately, the top two players there have run
stuffing as a strength, and the pass rush is Detroit's biggest D weakness.
So I guess I don't know for sure which was going on: was the bears OL just
sucking wind on the run blocking (reasonable, looking at the recent personel
moves) or was Detroit playing great run D?  I'm hoping for #2 personally.
Maybe Terry Allen can do us all a favor and help clear up the matter.

The halftime score was 10 to 7, Bucs.  In the second half the Bucs and Vinny
blew away the Card defense, and the TB defense blew away the Cardinals' so-
called "running" game.  It was a big-time rout; you could see the Cards'
asses dragging thruout the last stages of the 4th quarter.  Final score:
Tampa Bay 23, Phoenix 7.

Rosenbach was hurt on a blind-side sack (GREAT offensive line, guys.....)
and was carted off on a stretcher.  Chris Chandler came in and was inept,
so Tony Sacca, the much-ridiculed 2nd-round draft choice, came in and was
not that much of an improvement.

If we netters are going to start a Ray Handley pool, it's only fair that
we set up a Joe Bugel pool, eh?

Emmitt Smith was the offensive player of the week for the NFC.

		At first I thought my ears were deceiving me but upon   
	looking at the tube my eyes did not; DN was released according 
	to ESPN's Sportscenter.

		This I find so bloody hard to believe as all I have
	heard and read about in DCM is how much DN' stock is going
	up to atleast a #2 round pick.     

		However; one would think IMHO that with the unfortunate
	injuries of Maryland and Casillias DN would be an invalueable
	commodity especially considering the fact that the pokes have
	to face four consecutive NFC East foes who just stuff the run
	down your throat. DN's forte is against the run!

		This indeed, if accurately reported by ESPN, is quite
	a loss.



		GO COWBOYS!!!
