Pretty solid day of NFL action yesterday, especially the New Orleans at Dallas game which looked like it'd be over before the first quarter was done, but the Cowboys gamely fought back and might have won it if not for Roy Williams not knowing how to protect the ball in the shadows of the opposing goalposts against a team that constantly looks for turnovers. In the end, a good result for Dallas even in a 30-27 loss: they competed, but still lost to keep the draft pick for 2011 nice and high. Detroit looked fantastic in the first half against New England, but in the second half, they remembered they're Detroit and they got smoked 45-24. And in the late game, Derrell Revis showed Terrell Owens just what an "average" cornerback can do, holding T.O. to three catches and 17 yards in the Jets 26-10 win.
Phil Simms to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson after the latter broke down the Lions/Pats game: "good analyzation there". Yeah, great "analyzation," Phil.
Derek Jeter is said to be after 6 years and $150 million from the New York Yankees. I'd sooner see a terrorist be given a cache of nukes before giving Jeter that term or dollar amount. Strange, coming from The Guy Who Wants To Win More Than Anything.
Cathal Kelly at the Toronto Star hammers the idea that MLS is floating about lining up its schedule to match the rest of the world's, which would see the league run through the winter instead of the summer. I'm sure that would be a lot of fun attending games in Toronto, Seattle, Portland, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Colorado, Kansas City, New England, Columbus, D.C., and soon, Montreal. That leaves about a handful of cities where it would work.
Good news, Buffalo Bills fans. Forbes has a piece on who the best quarterback for the dollar is this year in the NFL and it is Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Toronto FC is still apologizing to its fans for the Mo Johnston/Preki team of 2010, ditching five players closely tied with the two.
A great bit from The Sports Pickle on using sports cliche's in everyday life.
Check out these NBA cheerleaders slam dunking.
The latest FIFA Goal of the Year nominee sees Arsenal's Samir Nasri shred FC Porto's defence. Awesome.

My current favourite sports cliche is "I know it's a cliche, but . . ."
What is Toronto doing with Dasovic? For the record, I actually didn't mind Preki--minus his Sam Mitchell vibe. Mo Johnson was a completely different story though.
As for Jeter, ugh...
No word on Daso at this point. My guess is that'll be left to whoever ends up GM.
