NFL Week 4 Interview

Rrrrrr. So sick of the whole Brett Favrvrvrvre business that I barely have the strength to type these words. But still, the blog must go on. We're here with our resident 11-year-old football analyst for a quicker-than-usual rundown of all the action in Week 4.

Q. A very quick Brett bit of business. Are you impressed by the news that Brett is the only quarterback in NFL history to have beaten all 32 NFL teams?

Definitely. Quarterbacks don't play against, say, teams in the other conference, that often.

Q. I know we touched on this last week, but the Broncos are, incredibly, 4-0. First of all, do you find this a more difficult team to dislike, what with the departure of the Rat-Coach and Jay and His Cutlery? And second, is this a genuinely good team, or just a fast starter which is bound to flame out at some point?

Two of their wins have been ridiculously lucky, but they have talent. They certainly are hard to hate. I don't think it'll be easy for them to finish the season the way they've started it.

Q. Coach Death Pool: Who will be the first coach to lose his job, and why?

It's hard to tell. The coaches of bad teams are all in their first season.

Q. When will Detroit pick up their next victory?

Against the Rams. Worst team in the NFL.

Q. Would you start Tyler Thigpen in Miami?

I thought it would be a good idea before yesterday. Chad Henne had a decent game, so I don't see why they shouldn't start him.

Q. I think that with their latest blowout by the 49ers, your assertion that the Rams are the worst team in the NFL has officially been borne out. What are three things that need to be done to rebuild this franchise?

1) Get a new, non-bust quarterback
2) Find a good coach
3) Draft wisely in general

Q. Will Terrell Owens ever be relevant again?

Because of his big mouth, he'll always be relevant for the media until he retires.

Q. Do you think Tom Brady is back to pre-injury form?

It sure seems like he is. The team isn't as good as it was when he won his third Super Bowl in four years.

Q. What the heck happened to the Titans, a fashionable preseason Super Bowl pick? Do you think they can rebound from their dismal start? What will it take?

I don't know what they can do. Chris Johnson will have to have some great games. And the AFC South is probably now the toughest AFC division.

Q. The Seahawks' electric green uniforms: worst uniform in history? Discuss. If there's a worse one, tell us what it is.

Well, I have absolutely no idea where the uniforms came from, or why Seattle wore them. At least they're not as bad as the original Bucs uniforms.

Q. If you were the Niners, would you renew talks with Michael Crabtree? Why/why not?

Well, after shutting out a division rival, I don't know if they need him. They don't seem to even care about his fantasies about being picked seventh overall.

Q. Is the Redskins' victory over the How Much Does That Corn Cost Buccaneers meaningful, or just a beatdown of a miserable opponent?

It wasn't a beatdown, it was a three-point victory. Still, it was almost an embarrassing loss, and it doesn't mean much in the big picture.

Q. What did you think of all the pink breast cancer awareness uniform accents? Who did it the best?

Chad Ochocinco's were the most noticeable, and talked-about, accents. I haven't seen anything particularly interesting enough to outdo him.

Q. New Orleans: unstoppable Super Bowl team?

So far, they've been unstoppable, but they probably will slip up sometime. Against Atlanta, hopefully.

Q. I know you are reluctant to pick a favorite NFL player. Who do you think is the most likable player?

Well, I'm not sure about this one. Reggie Wayne is pretty likable.

Q. Do you have a favorite coach?

Maybe Mike Tomlin.

Q. I like to check in on this occasionally: what are your most despised sports clichés?

"Left to right on your radio". Is something moving across my radio? Also,
"As cool as the other side of the pillow". *cough*Stuart Scott*cough*

Q. Jon Gruden: good broadcaster or lousy?

He's decent. He's a nice color commentator to replace Kornheiser.

Q. Has playing fantasy football enhanced your enjoyment of the game? How's your team doing?

My team's now 2-2. Hopefully I can continue my winning streak against "Mcmuffin".

Q. Finally, do you have a favorite sportswriter? A while back you picked a favorite sports book, but I've forgotten what it was. What is it these days?

I don't know many sportwriters, but I've always liked Sal Paolantonio's book, The Paolantonio Report.

Q. Now comes the point where Hen gets to type whatever he wants.

The question is, who will be the first quarterback to lose to all 32 teams?
