Mike's Marbles

Just looking at the final score seems weird. Who would ever think a program like Louisville could match up physically with Miami? And yet it happened. Louisville got the very best result they could have hoped for out of this game. Not just a win, but a convincing victory. Even though everyone watching knows Miami is down, they still have talent. And being able to deal so decisively with a team known for its defense by thoroughly outclassing them both offensively and defensively may do a lot to change people's perceptions of Louisville.

I'm starting to wonder if it is some kind of conspiracy to sell the NFL Ticket.

Every game that was shown on CBS, FOX, or NBC, was a dog.

We got Indy-Houston. Dog.
We got Detroit-Chicago. Dog.
We got Chargers-Titans. Dog.
Finally, we got Cowboys-Redskins. Dog.

The Chargers game was so bad, that the Titans had fifteen yards of total offense at the half. Fifteen. When I looked at the stats after the game, I was convinced there was some padding put in. Kind of like how baseball teams pad their attendance stats.

Even the switch-over game was a dud. They gave us several minutes of Buffalo-Miami, which was another horrid exhibition of football.

I certainly hope the NFL didn't plan it this way. I'd hate to think they're fixing games to be horrible just to sell their satellite package.
