…or while we were sleeping. I’m sure someone was sleeping since our last discussion.

Here’s what you missed (or what I would have posted):

Week 2 saw the Patriots look both dominant and shaky at the same time. A win’s a win, and as I told you a few weeks ago, this team’s going to win a lot of games without looking dominant in the process. I still haven’t seen anything, however, to change my mind about this team not having enough weapons to win the whole thing. There’s still time to prove me wrong, but so far my prediction looks right on.

We’ve been told Bill Belichick didn’t want Eric Mangini to take the Jets job. New York papers are now reporting when Mangini returned to Foxboro from his interview with Woody Johnson, Belichick had already changed his defensive coordinator’s computer access code. If BB was really that bothered by the way Bill Parcells treated him, he should take a step back and realize he’s acting no better in regards to his “disciple.� He’s coming across as very petty.

The Victim went 1-3 on his pigskin picks after opening the season with a stunning 6-1 mark. For you math majors out there, that brings the season’s slate to 7-4, a revolting development for those of us who like to supplement our income going against his advice. All I can say is; it’s a long season. Water seeks its level. The Victim will be drowning in debt soon enough.

Did I already mention I hate Herm Edwards?

How long before Charlie Weis contacts Romeo Crennel about becoming his defensive coordinator at Notre Dame? You know poor Romeo’s going to be looking for work this offseason, don’t you?

Did anyone catch that debacle in the Oklahoma-Oregon game? If not, I’ll give you all you need to know. The refs signaled Oregon recovered an onsides kick, even though a Sooners player had picked up the loose football away from the scrum and was already walking toward the sidelines with it. They never even looked to see who had the ball before making the call. Even worse, when apprised of the mistake, no one in charge stepped forward to do anything about it. I’m not condoning violence, but I think I understand why Europeans sometimes beat their soccer refs to a pulp.

I’m happy to report no death threats yet from my David Ortiz column. Is that because most Red Sox fans have already killed themselves or because they agree with me?

Chime in with your thoughts…the phone lines are now open!
