They Should Be Embarrassed

Yesterday in the NFL produced some crazy results and there are a few teams who should be embarrassed this morning. Here are the five teams that should be most looking to hide their faces today.

5. The New York Jets - Two games ago the Bills put up three, count 'em three, points at home against the woeful Cleveland Browns. It's bad enough the Jets lost this game, but at home, in overtime, with only three minutes left in the extra time? Unacceptable. And of course the New York media is already calling for Mark Sanchez's head, but, that's New York for you. Two weeks ago they were offering Sanchez their daughters and wanted to make him mayor. Now, he's a bum. Well, at least for the next few days, the rest of the team can be bums with him.

4. The New York Giants - Anytime a team has the no. 1 statistical defense in the league and then gets 48 points hung them they should be ashamed. I don't care if it is Drew "MF'in" Brees and the Saints' machine like offense, feel free to play some defense. Feel free to have safety C.C. Brown not be out of position on every Saints touchdown pass. Check that. He was in the proper position once, and he ended up with his face in the turf and Robert Meachum laying on top of him. OK, I'm glad I got that out of my system. Hopefully this will wake the Giants up and they realize they aren't playing Oakland and Tampa Bay every week.

3. The Philadelphia Eagles - Oakland? Really? Fourteen running plays? Really? But I guess that is what you get when you play Andy Walrus-ball. The other team takes the lead and you panic and abandon the run. Also, Philly's O-line made the Oakland front seven look like superstars. It seemed like Richard Seymour was coming from both end spots at the same time. It's OK though Philly, you have the Redskins next week. You won't have to run the ball then. Speaking of the Redskins...

2. The Washington Redskins - Six games. Six games against teams who had not yet won a game (including the opener against the Giants). Two wins. Even a below average team would get three wins out of that. Take out the Giants game and they have lost to Detroit, Carolina, and Kansas City, teams that are a combined 4-162 (the number in the loss column might be exaggerated.) Now they are going to have their plays called by a guy whose last job was calling bingo (true story, no exaggeration.) They should let Zorn out of his misery already, because this team is a grease fire from the owner on down.

1. The Tennessee Titans - 59-0. Worst loss in the NFL since the merger. Nuff said. (OK, one more thing. The Titans QB's combined stat line: 14 attempts, 2 completions, 2 interceptions, -7 yards. That's right, on every pass play they would have been better off launching each ball into the stands. At least then they would have given some fans a souvenir.)

Bonus: The L.A. Dodgers - Just a reminder, this is the NLCS. You're supposed to be one of the two best teams in the league. Losing 11-0 just don't cut it.

Bonus no. 2: The team my flag football team was supposed to play on Sunday morning. Only one player from your team showed up, and she has since defected to our team. Take that.
