MNF

So I made it about 4 minutes into the MNF matchup before being lulled to sleep by bad passes, bad pass protection and endless dive plays. Both teams pretty much put on an offensive display the Minnesota Gophers wouldn't even be jealous of. I was curious to see if former Illini Rashard Mendenhall could actually play pro football because he got the start for injured Willie "If I was tough they would call me Will" Parker. Turns out he can play, but only about 6 plays before fracturing his left shoulder and landing himself on the IR and opening up a spot on a lot of fantasy rosters. You could pickup former Viking Mewelde Moore, but I rather pickup a half-eaten sandwich off the sidewalk. On the other side of the ball filling in for Willis McGahee, something called Le'ron McClain did a pretty good Jerome Bettis impression and had a nice looking TD. I don't think he'll make a splash in the fantasy world unless something else happens to supposedly tough Willis McGahee who is still the only Raven offensive player I would consider putting on a fantasy team.

The game itself was really boring to watch even though it ended up going into overtime. I didnt count but Im guessing 4 plays were over 20 yards the whole game. Big Dumb Ben had a great pass to one of the fattest guys ever, Haloti Ngata, who showed off his speed and returned the INT about 1 yard. Hopefully next weeks MNF game Vikes vs Saints is more exciting to watch.
