Thought #1 - As I watch the college football awards show, I wonder, is there any way we can get some awards that don't carry sponsors? I mean the every year the bowls and individual awards are giving out way too often by some suit from a cooperate office. I just watched some random dude from Home Deport spend 5 minutes comparing coaching to their work with lumber and home improvement, what is that? Come on NCAA, either get rid of it or go all out. Go NASCAR on those trophies. Drop a decal on that beast and maybe some flames. Have the winner instantly put on a hat from your company, take a big gulp of 5 hour energy, a bite from a McRibb, and then thank you for the GM, AllState, Hot Pocket, Cheerios, and Windex Coach of the Year award. At least NASCAR doesn't try to hide it.

Thought #2- Is it possible the Browns are witches? I mean how else can you explain the Steelers playing down to their level last night? How else can you explain a team with the worst offense and worst defense in the league knocking off the reigning Super Bowl champs? Has to be witches, no other explanation.

Following the game I noticed Brady Quinn, who completed an amazing 6 of 19 passes last night for a total of 90 yards, running across the field holding his finger in the air in the #1 motion. Really Brady? Didn't you mean to hold up two fingers? One for each victory your team has this season? Or maybe that one was to signify the single rushing touchdown your team has gotten from a running back this season, which you accomplished last night when Chris Jennings scampered into the end zone. Maybe that was it, or maybe you were simply signaling to someone in the stands as to how many $5 footlongs you wanted for your post game snack, I'm not sure, but I'm really hoping it wasn't a "We're #1" chant. Granted it was a big win, but let's at least get to 4 maybe 5 wins before we start crowning ourselves as champs.
