Monday Night Football

Now watching Skins @ Eagles on MNF...

[3:45, 1st quarter] I agree with Jaws' analysis about the big playbook. The players need to study it. Stop complaining that its big. Yeah you're athletically gifted but you need to be able to use your head too. "Study your craft." Good quote.
[0:10, 1st quarter] No Tony, Elisabeth Hasselbeck is not worth a turn of the dial. Talk about the game please.

[14:09, 2nd quarter] BAM!!! What a hit by Sean Taylor. Gotta love that. On another note: Andy Reid -- Your sons are criminals. Do something about that. Thanks.
[12:51, 2nd quarter] Great second effort run by Brian Westbrook. I still think you're overrated.
[9:54, 2nd qurater] INTERCEPTION. Jason Campbell. Sweet hit by Clinton Portis though.
[2:40, 2nd quarter] Interesting statistics. Redskins are the oldest team in the NFL. Dan Snyder you are a genius. Tony is right in a sense. It's not like you're building a fantasy football team for one season to win it all. I think they also said that the Redskins have the fewest number of draft picks recently too. Great segment going through all of the Redskins QBs over Snyder's tenure.
[0:40, 2nd quarter] Wow, great scramble run by Campbell. I'd like to see Brunell do that.
[0:20, 2nd quarter] Delay of game, false starts. Nice work Skins.
[0:09, 2nd quarter] TOUCHDOWN. Nice pass by Campbell to Cooley.

I just noticed that Tony hasn't said anything the entire second quarter...because he wasn't in the booth! It was a nice change. I still say Kornheiser should stick to PTI. Looking forward to it at halftime.

[Halftime show] Lame quick version of PTI.

[12:45, 3rd quarter] CHARLES BARKLEY IS IN THE HOUSE. Wow. Charles is remarkably coherent tonight. I like it. "It's not right and it's not wrong. That's just the way it is." Isn't that a song? That's just the way it is. Some things will never change?
[9:43, 3rd quarter] FUMBLE. CHALLENGE IT. He was down.

CHARLES: "I just bought my mom a house for a dollar. In Alabama. I'm retired from golf."

[12:02, 4th quarter] TOUCHDOWN. Clinton Portis. Great touchdown celebration by the way.
[5:37, 4th quarter] Oh man Santana Moss overthrown by Jason Campbell. The guy was wide open. I've noticed Campbell's passes seem to be high a lot.
[3:09, 4th quarter] Long ball. Almost intercepted. Gotta catch that. Thats why he's a safety. My brother always said that safety's are guys who couldn't make wide receiver.

Did you see Sean Taylor's hair??? Awesome. Wow. The Redskins win 20-12. I'm surprised. I'm also surprised by the lack of quality quotes by the commentators tonight. Seems like everyone in the booth had their act together. Big win for the Skins. Disappointing performance by the Eagles. Donovan - you're killing my fantasy team, come on man.

Tony Kornheiser:

• "Its the Gutenberg bible of playbooks."
• "The Packers are 2-0, the 49ers are 2-0, O.J. is back in the news, its like we're back in the mid-90s."
• "The Redskins could have a good season."
  

Ron Jaworski:

• "I call this type of game a snot-knocker."
• "Brian Westbrook is the center of the Eagles offense. You can bet that the Redskins will be focusing on Brian Westbrook."
