NFL Brief- Week 8
NFL Brief Week 8
You know when you get that really bad hangover, the one that doesn't go away after one day one. The one that drags for a few days maybe even a week. Your body just feels lethargic, your mind empty, and your motivation in shambles. That's what we call a bender, when you can't rebound after a one day hangover, you are experiencing a bender, all the bread and carbs can't help you, only time. The Lions and Bengals have been on a bender since Sep. 7th. Sure they've both had there fair share of "shots". Bengals QB Carson Palmer is hurt leaving them with a backup from Harvard, oops. The Lions traded their #1 WR in Roy Williams to the Cowboys. At least Detroit tried to build for the future by taking three top round picks from Dallas in this trade, but their senior management only drafts WR's and doesn't realize there are other positions that help teams win games. What good is a RB after all if he has no Offensive line/ TE to block for him.
The Lions defense shows up absent on the attendance card, and the Bengals D plays like a first grader who gets held back because his skills don't improve to a second grade level. Ask the Titans why they are 7-0, because they play tough defense which creates turnovers and/or good starting field position. They have allowed a league low 87 pts this season compared to Cinci's league high 217 and Detroits 212.
There is a chance, and a good one at that these two teams go defeated for the entire season.
Lions remaining schedule- @ Bears, Jags, @ Panthers, Bucs, Titans, Vikings, @ Colts, Saints, @ Packers
Bengals remaining schedule- Jags, Eagles, @ Steelers, Ravens, @ Colts, Redskins, @ Browns, Chiefs
Its a shame the Bengals play the Chiefs the last game of the season, because if they didn't Rodger Goodell should have cancelled the Lions Vs. Packers and Bengals game and had first ever "Toilet Bowl" between the Lions and Bengals. It would be the only time anyone might tune in ON PURPOSE to watch these teams play. A few days ago my blog, http://the-suite-spot.blogspot.com/, I asked which team will win a game first, Lions or Bengals, and this response was classic: "Lions. According to wikipedia, a lion would kick the crap out of a Bengal. Thus, the hapless lions get my vote."
Who says long snappers aren't important- Did anyone watch the Giants vs. Steelers game on Sunday, the highly touted matchup of the 5-1's. Where Steelers long snapper Greg Warren tore his ACL, backup snapper goofed the snap on an ensuing punt leading to a game tying safety, and subsequent TD helping the GGGGG-men Steel the game from Pittsburgh, 21-14. Next time someone tells me a bullpen catcher isn't important....
Undefeated team- Titans
Defeated only teams- Lions, Bengals

Fashion Faux Pax
Last night I went to a Coldplay concert... solid show by the way. A lot better live than on a studio cut album. Either way, I tailgated pretty heavy, enjoyed a few frothy adult beverages. Drank the finest of beer in Pabst Blue Ribbon. (Hey it is good after the 3rd one or so) Was hand-fed a few Doritos and Svedka shots and proceeded into the show. After enjoying the show, we headed back to the car where I had a chicken cheddar sandwich from Lenny's (a delectable NYC sambo shop) waiting for me to devour and help cure what was to be and is a daring hangover. So I forgot to eat the sandwich, woke up a bit buzzed for work, threw on my black dress pants, arrived at work only to have a co-worker tell me I was wearing navy blue socks. I guess you can never be to careful or sober for that matter.

Archer Farms hits the mark
If you're like me then you have difficulty getting your daily dose of fresh fruits and vegetables. I'm always looking for ways to more easily integrate more of my FDA prescribed 5 a day. Recently, I was given a case of Clif Kids Organic Twisted Fruit Rope. Each one is a full serving of natural fruit and I must tell you that they were delicious. I quickly ran through my supply. Unfortunately, when I went to buy replacements, I found that they were about a dollar each. That's too much for a tiny (albeit delicious) fruit rope. So began my quest to find a suitable replacement. After some struggle with various bad tasting and rubbery fruit snacks I've finally found the answer and it's right at your local Target. Archer Farms Organic Real Fruit Strips have found the perfect balance between texture, flavor, and price. Only $3 for a box of 10 strips brings this product in line with fresh fruit prices, and while it doesn't beat fresh, sometimes you can't make it down to the market. Moreover, this product is an apt replacement for sugary fruit snacks such as Fruit Rollups. The Suite Spot would like to officially endorse this quality product.

Jon Gruden--oops
Jon Gruden when asked on the world series, " I think the Devil Rays will win the series" Earth to you Jon- The Devil was stripped from the name a year ago. No body still says I hope the Washington Bullets win tonight, its the Wizards. Being politically correct is the new thing, and I totally don't agree with it. I want the days of the Bullets, Devil Rays, and theRedman. Its too bad that's not how it is now. But Jon if you're coaching football in a city that's baseball team is trying to win a championship, at least sound like you know a team plays baseball in Tampa Bay. It took everyone outside of Tampa 10 years, thats long enough... be a leader!

World Series Post
So it all comes down to this, the Fightin' Phils and the Devil-less Rays. Put your chips on the table, its time to go all in!! Here at the Suite Spot we think a few things, the AL is a better league top to bottom, than the NL, look at interleague play where the AL smoked the NL again, as they do every year. All-Star game, no matter how much credit you give this game, the AL is dominant in the mid-season meeting of stars.
The Phillies- bring more experience, a proven lineup with two MVP's in Howard and Rollins, and Utley who is a top 5 MVP candidate every year when healthy. You have x-factors on this team, Victorino, who gets a big hit only when I watch him, bats .175 when I don't, J. Werth is a scrappy player who plays with heart is a good on defense and has a kid's winning mentality. You have Pat "the babe" Burrell, he will have one clutch hit this series I'm calling it now. The rotation- Hamels and Myers, Hamels an outright ace, and Myers has ace stuff when he keeps his head on straight. Behind them you have Blanton and Moyers, will give up some runs but keep you in the game. If the Phils can get 6-7 innings out of their starters, kiss the rays goodbye. Madson and Lidge are dominant, Lidge hasn't blown a save opportunity this year and I don't see it happening anytime soon especially not in this series, he's locked in and ready to dominate.
The Rays- youth drives this team, and also brings it success. B.J Upton has been powerfully stellar and could is one HR away from tying Carlos Beltran's 8 HR's in a postseason. Evan Longoria is a shoe in for AL rookie of the year (yes I had him on my fantasy team even though he wasn't in the majors until a month into the season) Don't get me wrong they do have some veteran leadership as well, Carl Crawford, a healthy Rocco Baldelli, Carlos Pena. This team is quick and can beat you with small ball or the power shot, a loaded young team. Their rotation is filled with great young talent, Kazmir, Shields, Sonnanstine,and ALCS MVP Matt Garza. Lefty David Price was also lights out in the bullpen and has dominate stuff, 96-98 mph on his heater, and a slider that will have the phillies guessing.
This is going to be a fun series, with Lefties Kazmir, Sonnanstine, and price giving problems to a Phillies lineup that holds power from the left side of the plate, Utley, Howard, both bat from the left side and will have to combat that. In the end the Phillies depth and experience will prove to much for the Rays in what will be a lowly rated, but very exciting World Series
The Suite Spot says----- Phillies in 7, The wait for a title for the last 25 years will finally come to an end!
