Reviewing the NFL’s top 3 teams, bottom 3 teams and one team to watch
Top teams
- Titans. They’re the only unbeaten team in the NFL and they’ve only allowed 56 points through five games. Kinda hard to argue with that.
- Giants. Consider the game against the Browns a hiccup. They are 4-0 and have outscored opponents 127-49 when they’re not playing the Browns
- Steelers. Picked them (4-1) over the Bills (4-1) and Buccaneers (4-2) because they’ve only allowed opponents to score 79 points against them this season, second best in the league.
Bottom teams
- Lions. No. 1 overall pick, here we come. (0-5)
- Bengals. They have a worse record (0-6) than the Lions because they’ve played one more game. But they’ve also allowed less points to opponents despite that.
- Rams. Owners of the most pathetic offense in the league — 62 points in five games. That’s a little more than 12 points per game for 1-4 St. Louis.
Team to watch
- Chiefs. For the upcoming weeks at least, Kansas City (1-4) will be battling the Rams for a spot on this list and for the title of Most Pathetic Offense. Their 65 points is one unbotched field goal more than the Rams have scored.

I just reviewed my hits and misses from last week over at www.chinstrapninjas.com.
If you have not yet checked out the site, please do. Here is an excerpt from my review:
I tried to stay away from the absolute sure things, that’s why I didn’t pick any Giants against the Browns… I finished 3-3, .500 as expected, but I had one miss that was monumentally awful.
I picked the Patriots’ Ben Watson as a big hitter, he responded with 0 yards on exactly 0 catches. Not even a 1-for-12 that would have netted PPRers 2.2 points. It should be marked down as three misses in one, but fortunately for my record, that’s not how it works.

That’s right, I can rate it right now and call it a 10. Yes, I’m biased, but in the game industry Bungie Studios may as well be King Midas.
Here is the video reveal for the company’s latest, and many times teased, endeavor, courtesy of Joystiq.
There is no doubt in my mind that Halo 3: Recon, revealed with the tagline “New hero, new campaign. Prepare to drop,” is going to rock our faces to jelly. Here
Let me explain why:

Yep, I’ve co-launched a new Web site with a co-worker that is strictly fantasy sports based. Oh, don’t worry, there’ll be fantasy sports here, but it’ll be teasers over to www.chinstrapninjas.com. We have great plans for it, and want you to come join us.
Here’s an excerpt from my welcome letter:
We want to build a ninja army, a whole nation of fantasy sports assassins helping each other dice up the competition. However, unlike ninjas, we don’t want to spend all of our time in the shadows. When divisions are clinched, championships are won, and your rewards are raining from the sky onto you, we want everyone to know a ninja did it. And we all want to know about it. We want to celebrate it here at Chinstrap Ninjas. Let us know how you did it, what players put you over the top and what players you beat along the way.
Of course, I’ll still be on www.sloppypotatoes.com pretty regularly with video game news, reviews and random thoughts, lists etc. Fresh SP posts, like my post about some games I’d like seen brought to XBLA, will be as frequent (infrequent?) as they have been over the last few months, meaning once or twice a week. This one doesn’t count, a new post is coming within the hour. Those guys over at Bungie are making us Halo 3 fans continue to drool. And there was a new countdown yesterday, in case you missed it. No funny business this time though.

Yes, there have already been quite a few games that have made it to the arcade, but there are so many more that should be brought back. Reading that RBI Baseball was being brought to Xbox’s Live Arcade made me think, what other games need to return?
I’m not sure about the licensing issues, the publishing rules, etc., but these games deserve to be brought back. Spruce them up with new graphics or make them as is, it doesn’t matter. I’m begging, bring’em back.

A co-worker asked and I started talking about the season-opener, and knowing I’m a Giants fan, he said “it’s only Giants-Redskins.” Eventually, I started rattling o
ff some questions/expectations/storylines that I thought made it a great season-opener for the 2008 NFL season.
You really don’t need any reason to watch the NFL season-opener, with it being the season-opener, but here are a few things I will watch for.
