Pats' Streak Continues, Giants' Tiki Resurrected





122 yards on 23 carries, 5 catches for 76 yards today for New York RB Tiki Barber (above) in the Giants' 26-10 defeat of the Dallas Cowboys. Good things happen when Tiki doesn't fumble the ball 3 or 4 times a game. Steve Christie kicked 4 four goals a week after half the male population of the NY area wanted to kill him (the other half either wanted to give Christie a hug, didn't know or care who he was, or were named Tom Coughlin).



(this is soooo Gay. New England's Randall picking off los Fins' Fiedler in the first quarter)

Almost as offensively inept as Dallas' Vinnie Testaverde was Miami's Jay Fiedler, harried most of the day in New England's 24-10 beating of the Dolphins. The Patriots have now won 19 in a row, giving lazy headline writers a chance to quote Steely Dan's "Hey, Nineteen" with abandon, forgetting of course, that Steely Dan really suck and shouldn't be mentioned if at all possible.

Though a distant 3rd in this weekend's Heartwarming Career Comeback chart, trailing Ruben SIerra and Jose Lima, Tampa Bay's Brian Griese, 3rd on the Bucs depth chart, came off the bench for injured Chris Simms, and led Tampa Bay to their first win of 2004, squeaking past New Orleans, 20-17. Tampa Bay's longtime starting QB, Brad Johnson is demanding a trade or release. At 36 years of age and 10 losses in his last 13 starts, Johnson is a perfect candidate to take over in Oakland just as soon as Kerry Collins is seriously injured.
