Footy and Sports guys and gals this product is selling excellently for me on MYKwebWORLD! Bill Romanowski and Thomas Incledon PhD, their "Pure Romo Nutrition" is the ultimate combination of scientific research and brain enhancement. I use it, it's great and it tastes great as well Click here "

Wow! What a great Sunday we have of NFL Footy. Some very tough games to pick. I'm going with gut feel on some of them while others I'm going for teams that I like that are a chance. Here goes.

Moose's Week 3 Picks: Mine are in Green.
Detroit OVER Green Bay by 1 "Wow another tough one to pick. Lions were horrid last year, Packers were better last week. I'll go for the Lions seeing it is in Detroit. I do hope Brett Favre has a good year though."
Tennessee OVER Miami by 1 "Yes Dolphins. I look forward to seeing Daunte Culpepper the new Dolphins QB having a great year from now on. I'll be watching Ricky Williams play at 5pm today here in Calgary in the CFL as the Toronto Argonauts come to take on the Calgary Stampeders. Ricky will be playing his 1st game in approx. 8 weeks after breaking his arm."
N.Y. Jets OVER Buffalo by 2 "I'm going for gut feel on this toughie. Jets! If Chad Pennington who I think is a great QB when fit, if he plays well the Jets can win. I don't think the Bills are that good but it is in Buffalo so it's a tough game to pick."
Houston OVER Washington by 1 "Redskins. I think they are better than what they have showed so far this year."
Minnesota OVER Chicago by 4 "A tough one. I want to stick with one of my favorite teams the Vikings as it is at Minnesota but I have to go with the... No I'm sticking with Vik's after just receiving a awesome pic from a Vik's Cwoa babe.... Wow! Got to go to Mates Club Click here

Cincinnati OVER Pittsburgh by 4 "Yes Bengals for me. They are looking very good while the Steelers seem to be in a slight Super Bowl hangover at the moment. This should be a rippa of a game. I saw this week that Carson Palmer was way up on the list of highest paid US athletes. Good on him"
Jacksonville OVER Indianapolis by 2 "Wow! Moose has gone for the Jags. It's tempting but no I'll stick with the Colts."
Carolina OVER Tampa Bay by 8 "Panthers for me. They are 0-2 so far. Many were picking them to go to the super Bowl for the NFC and I think they can but they better start winning."
Baltimore OVER Cleveland by 9 "Yes Ravens. They are a good team now that they have a very good QB in former Titans Steve McNair."
New England OVER Denver by 10 "Ahhhhhhh. Patriots! This is one of the only times in the past 2-3 years that I have picked against the Broncos. I hope I get this one wrong and the Bronco's start to play footy."

Philadelphia OVER San Francisco by 6 "Damn this is a bit of a toughie as well. 49ers have improved, they are at home. I don't think the Eagles are that great but I suppose I better pick the Eagles."
New Orlean OVER Atlanta by 5. "I've thought about this game a lot. I am a huge Michael Vick fan and he has been in great form so far this season. The Saints are definitely much improved this year. I'll go with the Saints mainly because it is the 1st game in New Orleans since hurricane Katrina and I think the hype and atmosphere will get the Saints up."
St Louis vs Arizona "Another interesting game. I'll go for Cardinals. Moose is giving me a head start again this week as he forgot this game."
New York Giants vs Seattle. "I'll go for the Seahawks only because it is in Seattle. Moose wake up! You forgot 2 games again this week!"

After a very average Week 1 I kicked Moose's butt in Week 2 getting 12 out of 16 for a total of 21 after 2 Rounds." Myk

From Moose "Game Balls Week Two:
1) Ryan Longwell, K-passer, Minnesota
2) Atlanta Falcons Offencive Line, especially ex-U/H. Warrior, Kynan Forney
3) Joey Gallaway, WR, Tampa Bay
4) LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, San Diego
5) Rex Grossman, QB, Chicago
Honourable Mention: Peyton Manning, who tied Johnny Unitas all-time Colts' pass completions mark for the franchise but Unitas played the Colts when they were the REAL Colts, in "Bal-mer". Eli Manning [why didn't they play this well against EACH OTHER a week ago?} for his 4 TDs in the 4th Qtr win over the Eagles. Rudi Johnson, RB, Cincinnati.

Milestones this past weekend:
There were an NFL record tying three OT games this past weekend. There have been six weekends in League History when there have been three OTs. Last weekend there were three shutouts. There was another one last night as Jax blew away the Stealers. This is the second time in NFL history there have been four shutouts in the first two weeks of the season.

It appears I was right and it'll be a lllonnngggg year for the following clubs: Denver, who barely won over a depleted K.C. squad that is being under coached, Oakland, Miami with it's nutty Coach, Tamap Bay which I said had let the wrong QB go (Brian Griese, who got minutes v. Detroit for Chicago) and of course Green Bay despite a decent effort for Brett Favre, who probably should have retired two years ago. Poor Art T. Shell has dropped down to .570 winning percentage, still respectable after De Raidehs 0-2 start.

More Records to be Proud of: Tom Terrific, er, ah Brady is now the NFL's highest winning percentage QB passing Dallas all-time best Roget Staubach, with a .740 winning percentage after Sunday's win over the Jets. Third all-time is John Elway and forth Bob Griese, Brian's dad, who took Miami to three straight Super Bowls in the '70's.

Team Record: The Atlanta Falcons rushed for an all-time high 306 yds., on the ground behind an Offence with three ex-Warriors in it; WR Ashley Lelie, OLm Kynan Forney and reserve Adrian Klemm. Ar.FL Players making an impact this weekend: Detroit WR Mike Furrey, Dallas K Mike Vanderjagt, Cincy KR Reggie Swinton, N.Y. G-Men K Jay Feely, Arizona Cards QB Kurt Warner, Tennessee K Rob Bironas

Former CFL Players making it good in the NFL this past Weekend were: Special Teams gunner Marc Boerigter, Green Bay, K Vanderjagt, KR Swinton, WR Joe Horn, New Orlean, Philly H Jeff Garcia, Washington TE Mike Sellers, Indy DB Nick Harper.

A Bad Situation. No matter how you look at it, Tennessee Coach Jeff Fisher is screwed. He'll be made to be the bad guy no matter what he does. He was all prepared to go it with old buddy QB Steve McNair who he went to the Super Bowl with in Jan. '00, but management (read: Bud Adams) wouldn't let McNair, despite the fact he was STILL UNDER CONTRACT with the team, practice with the Titans this past off-season. Then he sends McNair, a franchise QB to Baltimore, [a rival of Tennessee's and he helps them to a 2-0 start].  So Coach 'Fish', as he is called starts to prepare for the Billy Volek Era; wait, Vince Young gets drafted, without Fisher's consent. OK - so they get the second best QB prospect in the draft (Leinart of course, that's who)...So throughout camp Fisher runs the team with the competent Volek, with Young behind him...Then Adams goes out and signs vet Kerry Collins. Collins is given the third QB job and last year's third, Matt Mauck, the ex-Bronco draftee is jettisoned.

The right before opening day, it's announced that Collins will start and Young "will see action" [he played one series last week]...Where is Volek?! In week two Collins played the first half and Young the second half...still no Volek. Why doesn't the players union do something! You can't go and literally promise a guy, who's been with your club for 3 yrs., a starting job and then all of a sudden he's number three! That's horse (bleep)! Volek should move on. Actually he's doing OK since Young and Collins are getting the stuffings beat out of them. Coach Fisher, the second longest tenured Coach in the League is hanging by a thread and Volek has been violated! And in the end, Fisher will get the blame...What else are rich owners good for!?

Updated Sat Sept 16 06 "NFL week 2 games and tips! Aussie's lead the Punting in the AFC and the NFC, Wow!" Myk Aussie


I'm here with Mat McBriar the Aussie and now Dallas Cowboys punter at the NCAA Hula Bowl

Cowboy's Mat McBriar and Jets Ben Graham lead the NFL Punting Averages after week 1. They are both Australians!
This is great to see and a definite 1st that 2 Aussies lead the NFL Averages in Punting. I believe it can last as both of these guys are excellent punters.

Mat McBriar the former Aussie Footy player from Melbourne and NCAA University of Hawaii punter leads the NFC with 266 yards, his longest a 62 yarder for a average of 53.2. Ben Graham the former AFL, Australian Football League Geelong Cats Champ leads the AFC with 199 yards, his longest being 58 yards for a average of 49.8.

Washington at Dallas "See this is why I think Moose is not with it this week. He forgot this game. I'm going Cowboys."
New England vs New York Jets "Moose forgot this one as well. I'm going Patriots."
Tennessee at San Diego "Chargers should win. Seems I have a chance to go 3 up on Moose seeing he forgot 3 of the games."

"I believe even though Moose beat me in week 1 he will crash in week 2 tips! I tipped 9 in week 1 my worse start ever while Moose very impressively tipped 13! My and Moose's tips are straight up. My tips are also against the spread as well if you are a betting person. The spread is simply a mathematical 51 - 49 type betting thing so to make it easy I just say it's both." Myk Aussie

It's nice to see Super fan of the Carolina Panthers, Greg, the Cat-Man is getting a car after the sick joke that the guys at Fox pulled on him last year. He's been a great fan since 1995 or as long as K John Casey has been there! Best wishes and get well soon for ex-B.C Lion & TO. Argo Trent Green (both 1995). With his knee injury he's out for 3-5 weeks. Which means Casey Printers gets upped from the Practice Squad to number three behind Damon Huard, who threw his first passes yesterday in two-and-a-half years in the League and third round pick Brodie Croyle.

Other injuries yesterday included 48ers OG/OT Larry Allen, Eagles CB Lito Shepard, Rams Centre Andy McCollum, Rams DT Jimmy Kennedy, Atlanta DE Pat Kerney, LB Dan (Hypobaric Chamber) Morgan, OT Travelle Wharton, Tennessee DT Robaire Smity and Jets LOG Pete Kendall. Get well soon, guys!

If anybody wants a primary example of why I hate Instant Replay and why it DOES NOT work, try last weekends game, Miami at Pittsburgh. Nick Saban, he WAS right to throw the red challenge flag after VA's Heath Miller's NON-score (the last time Pitts tried that, they won the Stupor Bowl v. Seattle, on Mr. Motorcycle wrecks NON-TD). Now I like Heath Miller as much as any Virginian, but he DID NOT score! Why wasn't the play CHALLENGABLE? The call was in the words of the immortal Marv Levy, from NFL films clip: "Chickenbleep"! Now the CFL has a sorry Instant Replay system and so does the NCAA! Now that is "Chickenbleep." Moose

"Moose why don't you like Nick Saban the Dolphins coach? I edited out what you wrote." Myk

Moose's NFL Week One Picks: Mine are in Green
Miami Over Pittsburgh by 2 "Steelers because it is in Steeltown. I was wanting to go for Dolphins now lead by Duante Culpepper who is one of my favorite NFL players." Myk
Carolina Over Atlanta by 11 (With or without Steve Smith) "Panthers. They could go all the way this year in the NFC." Myk
Baltimore Over Tampa by 2 "Buc's for me at home although I'm looking forward to watching Steve McNair at QB for the Ravens this year. I think this game could go either way." Myk
New England Over Buffalo (Sorry, Gabe Morency!) by 7 "Yes Patriots against I think again the very average Bills in 06" Myk
Cincinnati Over Kansas City (Who waived Casey Printers to the P.S.) by 5 "Bengals although it is in KC so this should be a very good game. I don't pick KC that often as they are the Broncos rival" Myk
Saint Louis Over Denver by 4 "Broncos! For some reason Moose isn't that keen on the Bronco's chances this year. Michael Petrie possibly the best NFL Football writer in Canada from the Calgary Herald has tipped Bronco's to win their Division. I agree and I think the Bronco's can get to the Super Bowl this year! Hope so!" Myk
New Orlean Over Cleveland by 6 "Can I flip a coin on this one? OK I'll go for the Brownies!" Myk
Tennessee Over New Jersey Jets by 2 "Hmmm, battle of two of the cellar dweller teams I think this year. I do like Chad Pennington though so hopefully he stays healthy. Good luck to Aussie Ben Graham in his 2nd year as the Jets punter." Myk
Philadelphia (Who waived Timmy Chang to the P.S.) Over Houston by 4 "Wow! This Rd 1 is getting tough. I can't see the Eagles being much good this year but I suppose I'll pick them against the Texans." Myk
Seattle Over Detroit by 3 "Seahawks. Jon Kitna will no doubt be looking forward to being #1 QB again and this week against his old team." Myk
Chicago Over Green Bay (Who waived Univ.of Hawai'i's Adrian Klemm) by 10. "Bears I suppose although I hope the Packers are good this year." Myk
Jacksonville (Where U.H's Chad Owens, Wayne Hunter and Vince Manuwai play) over Dallas by 8 "Cowboys! I'm liking them this year. Good luck to Aussie Mat McBriar punting again for the Cowboys." Myk
Arizona Over San Francisco by 12 "Cardinals I agree." Myk
Indianapolis Over N.Y. G-Men by 8 in the 'Who Cares About Them Bowl', "Colts. Wow the Manning brothers match up against each other at QB, a NFL marketing dream!" Myk
Minnesota Over Washington, who stupidly cut RB Jessie Lumsden last week by: 5 "Redskins over Vikings just only seeing that the game is in Washington." Myk
San Diego Over Oakland, who just cut J. George, by 4 "Chargers. Damn I'm upset they let go of Drew Brees. $$$ it seems was the factor, as in many cases when a team spends Big $$ on a high draft pick they feel as though they have to use them. So I suppose we will all see how good Phil Rivers is this year." Myk

Updated, Wed Sept 6 06 "Moose's 06 NFL team by team previews! Jeff George Back then Cut! Kerry Collins Back! Moose's review of the new film "Invincible"! Massive amounts of NFL MYKwebTV!" Myk Aussie

Jeff George was not surprisingly cut by the Raiders after being called up last week as QB insurance.

From Mon Sept 4 Wow! I was amazed to hear the name Jeff George again! I filmed Jeff after a Vikings great win against the Packers years ago on Monday Night Footy. This was some of the very 1st NFL web sports casting that I did. It was a great night in Minneapolis and a very funny part of my movie "Football Fan Frenzy". Jeff's time as QB at the Vikings was possibly his most successful.

For Moose's detailed team by team NFL previews click on the team menu to the left.

From Moose "Jeff George Back! He has just been resigned by the Oakland 'Raidahs' this week and Kerry Collins, who played for the Raiders last year, signed with the Tennessee Titans or 'Tits' as the Aussies might say. But more on Collins later in this report. Jeff George, Peck's original bad boy, was a top first round pick with the Indianapolis Colts in 1990. He had a tumultuous four year stay with the Indy Colts and bolted to the Atlanta Falcons in 1994.

He played the four WR Offence for User-Friendly Coach June Jones, III, a former CFL/NFL QB, who once QB'd the Falcons in the late Seventies. The Falcons went 7-9-0 that first year, with Darryl 'Mouse' Davis, godfather of the Run-and-Shoot Offence, who Coached June and former Cardinal pivot Neil Lomax, in College at Portland St., in the NCAA Div. III.

In 1995 George seemed to be picking up the system and keeping his nose clean, as the old saying goes. The Falcons finished 9-8-0 in '95 but lost in the playoffs, 37-21 to/at Green Bay. The floor was about to cave in. In the offseason, the Falcons reacquired Cajan QB Bobby Hebert and George didn't like that. Hebert had been a very good QB with the Saints and had a winning record, but no experience in the R-n-S Offence. In an early season game, George changed a play Coach Jones, now H.Coach of the Hawai'i Warriors, had sent in. He threw an INT. that was returned for a TD. When he came off the bench, Coach Jones point for him to sit down. Jones told Hebert to start warming up. Now think about this folkes, Jones DID not say, "George, you're out, Hebert pronounced 'A'-Bear, you're in. George went ape..... (deleted expletive) and started to berate the quiet, studious, religious Jones in front of the whole team. Jones simply turned to him and told him THEN, 'You're through.' Did June mean through for the series? Day? Career in Atlanta? George, this was picked by CBS, who was covering the game told Coach Jones, 'Kiss my a....s pr.....k!'. The Falcons lost the game and ended up the season 4-12-0. The whole Coaching staff would be fired, although they allowed Jones contract to expire.]

The following Monday Jones phoned every team in the NFL and CFL...Nobody wanted George. Jones phoned the NFL head office in Nuevo York and placed George name on the waiver wire. When he was interviewed that evening, Jones simply said he would not then accept any apology from George (not that George offered) and George was no longer welcome their on Falcons property. Tuesday, the next day, he was waived from the League. Nobody picked him up the $100 waiver fee. When the season was over, George signed a two-year deal with Oakland and played there through 1998. In 1999 he signed for one year with Minnesota (he returned there for one more year in '03). In 2000 he  signed on to play for Dan Snyder's Real Live Fantasy Football in Washington.

He was released by Coach Marty Schottenheimer after two games into the '01 season. Schottenheimer's only comment was that 'he was a disruption in the locker room...' In '02 he signed with Seattle and did not play as a reserve QB that year. In '04 he signed on with the Bears and did not play as a reserve QB. In '05 the Bears placed his name on the retired/did not report/reserve list and he wasn't in the NFL, CFL or Ar.FL. According to the Vikings, Seahawks and Bears, George was a model citizen and was very helpful to the young QBs on those teams. In fact Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle's QB said in a USA Today article around Super Bowl time last year, he was a very solid teammate. I hope so. Jeff George, along with John Elway, Dan Marino, Warren Moon, Joe Namath and Timmy Chang has one of the greatest 'releases' on passes of any QBs I have ever seen. His lifetime combined stats are: 27,727 yds., and a 47-74 record with six teams, regular season and playoffs together. He stil has the arm, but previously with the Raiders he had played for Jon Gruden not Art Shell. The reason the Raiders signed George this week was the thought of going into the season with only Marques Tuiososopo, Aaron Brooks and Andrew Walter seemed too scary for Shell. But was it senile Al Davis' idea or Shell's to bring in George who is now 36?

On to Kerry Collins...Collins was the top draft pick for expansion Carolina Panthers back in their rookie year, 1995. By 1997 Collins asked to be dropped to third string, he was mentally exhausted. He also had bouts with booze and problems with teammates there was well. In 1998 he signed with then Mike Ditka's Saints. He lasted one year. He signed with the New York G-men in 1999 and sat behind Kent Graham, who later played for Washington and Pittsburgh. Collins helped lead the Giants to the Super Bowl following the '00 season where they were blown out by the Baltimore Ravens, with former Stallions LB O.J. Brigance, 34-7 in Super Bowl XXXV. Collins has since moved around the NFL and now is number two with the Tennessee Titans. So much for top pick Vince Young and young vet Billy Volek, who was promised the starting role if Steve McNair left - left, he was practically evicted! Ironically enough, now McNair is with the Ravens, who I expect back in the playoffs this year. Collins I would rather have now than George, but what is it with these guys? The NFL spoiled them with too much money? Is it the players Association? Why do these guys get so depressed (Collins) or bigheaded (George)?

Now onto the the other 'side-of-the-coin', as they say: 'Invincible', Walt Disney films, starring Marc Wahlberg as Vince Papale.
Leave it to Hollyweird to take a good 'do-it-yourself made football hero' and make a movie that barely remakes real life. The NFL films Vince Papale, THE REAL Vince Papale, the real 'Rocky' of Philadelphia is much better than the Hollywood one. In 1974 the new World Football  League came out when the NFL had it's first strike of three that transpired among union players, in the summer of 1974. Thus, no preseason. The WFL started to play it's ambitious 20-week schedule in July that year (same time as the CFL) and one of it's most remarkable players was a 28-year-old teacher, who only ran track in Philly High School and at St. Joseph's College. Vince Papale was the Philadelphia Bell's best possession receiver that year with 32 pass receptions as a 3rd receiver. Birmingham won that first 'World Bowl', 22-21 over Jack Pardee's (Orlando) Florida Blazers. Philadelphia, 9-11-0 missed the playoffs by a hair, losing the last spot to the Honolulu Hawai'ians. In 1975, the New World Football League as it was called that year, crashed and burned after 11 games. Papale and 311 other players were all of a sudden out of work.

In early 1976 Philadelphia Eagles new Coach Dick Vermeil announced a try out. 325 'players' (people I should say) showed up and only Papale got an invitation to attend the regular training camp {I would think his two Pro seasons right across town with the hometown Bell had something to do with it. But Disney doesn't even mention that!}. In 'Invincible', the smallish, unattractive Marc Wahlberg looks nothing like the handsome, distinguished, 6'2", 200 lb. Papale! Papale also used to run five miles a day through Phildelphia to stay in shape. In the movie Wahlberg did NOT even play on the field in his football game shots! His role was played by Orlando Predator Arena League star, Clif Dell (note the one 'f', Myk). Also a gross error on the part of the movie makers is the seen where Wahlberg/Papale tackles a Giants (in real life it was 5'9" 175 lb. Jimmy Robinson) punt returner he's shown returning the fumble nearly the length of the field. In real life, it was only ten yards. But the ruling was Papale couldn't advance the ball. In the movie they made out like Vince won the game. In real life the Eagles did win 13-0, but it took three more plays to score after the Papale fumble recovery. Rating: Two-and-one-half stars.

Who was Herb Mulkey? Before Vince there was Washington F/A Herb Mulkey, who had no College experience but made Washington's 1972 roster as a KR-2RB. In 1974, Mulkey made the Pro Bowl as a kick returner. By the time Vince Papale made the Eagles, Mulkey had retired. Have a nice week! Picks for Week one A-comin'' Moose
