10/14 News Roundup

As you may know, today marked the NFL trade deadline. No teams are allowed to trade anything, from players to picks to potato chips, until after the season. Let's take a look at some headlines.

Roy Williams traded to Dallas. We all kinda saw it coming. Williams, who has been sucking something fierce (17 catches, 232 yards, 1 TD, 4.5 temper tantrums), has a new home. In return, Detroit gets a first-round pick in 2009, plus a third- and sixth-rounder that year for Williams and a seventh-round pick in '09. Good for Detroit.

My question is: How does Dallas make Roy Williams AND Terrell Owens coexist? Both of them have fierce egos, even though T.O. is the only one able to back it up. Anybody interested in the over/under for "weeks until one of them snaps"? I'll take the under.

Tony Gonzalez traded nowhere. KC's top offensive weapon is staying put. There's been speculation about possible destinations, but I guess he (wasn't able to force the trade) decided to stick it out.

Shaun Alexander signs with Redskins. Never has a former MVP sucked so badly. D.C. fans better pray that Clinton Portis doesn't get hurt/taken over by one of his aliases.

Jon Kitna put on Injured Reserve. Another non-surprise. Kitna's not a bad quarterback, dare I say an efficient one. Plus he's historically been pretty good for fantasy teams. But I don't think anyone's gonna be picking up Dan Orlovsky anytime soon. Guess why?

Favre consoles Tony Romo. I guess Favre didn't like my post either. When asked for comment, Aaron Rodgers responded: "OMG! WTF?! HAXX!"

Pacman suspended...again. Cue the obligatory Ms. Pac-Man sound effect...byoo byoo byoo byoo...and we're good.

Thoughts in the comments section, please.

TO snaps first

And it will about 3 weeks from now after the Giants kick their keisters.

Man, Pac Man wasn't even that good in Dallas

and yes Mr. Jones, your back to Pacman. I will not refer to you by your preferred name Adam Jones, as the REAL Adam Jones plays center field for the Baltimore Orioles and isn’t a complete drain on society like you are.
If I was a Redskins fan, now that Ladell Betts has gone down, I’d rather see even Rock Cartwright spelling Portis than Shaun Alexander. How bad can he be? He’s an absolute demon on special teams.
It won’t really matter whose lining up wide for the Cowboys if they continue to underacheive so much on the line. Seriously, how can those guys be that bad?

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
