Things I Learned This Weekend, no. 2, 9-22-09

1. The Jets' Darelle Revis might be the best corner in the league. He is a legit shutdown corner that you can leave on an island against the league's best receivers. This week he held Randy Moss to 4 catches and 24 yards. Last week he shutdown the Texans Andre Johnson. That's two of the three best receivers in the league in two weeks. This looks a lot like the first thing I learned last weekend.

2. The New York Jets are for real, and they have Rex Ryan to thank for that. He brought his crazy chaotic defense with him from Baltimore and it is giving trouble to every team they play.

3. The Giants gave the rest of the league the formula to beat a Tom Brady led team when they beat the Pats in the Super Bowl two years ago. Harass him to disrupt his timing. Brady plays with such precision that when it goes right, he looks perfect, but he makes mistakes when things are just a little off.

4. The WNBA gets no respect. The Eastern Conference Finals had to change venues because Sesame Street was in town. The Western Conference Finals had to move because of a Britney Spears concert. Who really cares though? I wouldn't watch the WNBA playoffs if they were being played in my living room.

5. Drinking your own urine doesn't make you a better boxer. See - Juan Manuel Marquez.

6. Robert Henson is a dope. Reaction to his twitter comments about Redskins fans are all over the media, the best being Mike Greenberg's rant this morning on Mike and Mike on ESPN. Henson is an idiot who will probably be working side by side in some office with one of these "dimwits" in the next year or so. Who am I kidding? This dummy wouldn't have an office job.

7. (BRS Homer alert no.1 ) The NY Giants can't score touchdowns in the red zone.

8. (BRS Homer alert no. 2) The Packers offensive line can make even Antwan Odom look like a star.

9. There are too many Pierres making noise in the NFL. That number would be two, Pierre Thomas and the ultra-French sounding Pierre Garcon. There should be a one Pierre limit.

10. UVA football has a bye this weekend...and the bye is favored by a touchdown. (That is one of the oldest jokes in sportswriting history, but it's always funny.)
