Screw the NFL Network

The NFL Network's "NFL Replay" program is advertised as a show that replays the four *best* games of the past weekend. This weekend we had five games come down to the final play. Minnesota-Detroit, though close, was so ugly it wasn't really watchable. Cowboys-Cardinals, Bears-Falcons and Dolphins-Texans all had remarkable finishes, and have been, or will be featured on NFL Replay. Good, though easy, choices.

The two biggest upsets of the season also occurred this weekend. One was the Browns whipping the Giants 35-14 Monday night. The other, of course, was the Rams over the Redskins on Sunday, a close, tense game with a fantastic finish and a fairly wild 4th quarter. What's better, a 3-TD game or a 2-point game won on the last play? No contest, right? The Rams make NFL Replay for the first and possibly only time this year, right?

Tonight on NFL Replay: Giants at Browns.

Fuck you, NFL Network.
