Steven Jackson

For getting in the line up after Marshall Faulk, and Faulk was tearing it up too. Jackson fumbled on his first NFL carry, but the carry was about 20 yards. He's gonna be great.

Seahawks star RB day-to-day with bruised right knee

KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander has a bone bruise on his right knee but could play in next Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

"It might be a week or two," coach Mike Holmgren said. "There's a chance he can play this week. We'll just have to see how it goes."

An MRI exam disclosed the injury, which earlier had been reported as a knee sprain. Alexander was hurt late in a 21-7 win at New Orleans in which he rushed for 135 yards on 28 carries. He ran for two touchdowns and caught a TD pass.

If Alexander can't play next week, Maurice Morris or Kerry Carter will step in.

"We hope he can play, but if he can't then we'll have to go to the next guy. I'd expect that man to play well, and that goes for any position on the team," Holmgren said.

While that does sound better... All I can remember was the talk about Prior on the Cubs... "don't worry, he will be ready for the start of the season... don't worry, he will be ready to start by May..." and he never did

He wasn't ready till June...

I like both teams, so this game is hard for me .

Brett Farve is my favorite player, but I love Jake Delhomme and that D for their grittyness.

Packers recover a Carolina fumble early in the 3rd quarter, and Green makes 'em pay for it. Packers lead 17-7.

Well, just off the first game, mind you, the Bears look like the worst team in the NFL and Grossman looks like its worst quarterback.

If you disagree, name a worse team and why?

That's pretty grim...

Green Bay looked pretty tough last night. Carolina knew that they were going to keep giving the ball to Green, and they still couldn't stop him.

Green is showing why he was considered the third best RB in the league...

Arizona still looks pretty bad, but they are good at take aways. I guess they figure it's their only chance.

If you recall, I said NE would be weaker because the lost Ted Washington. CBS's Clark Judge agrees:

"The New England Patriots won't admit it, but they miss defensive tackle Ted Washington. I saw the Pats against Cincinnati in preseason and against Indianapolis in the season opener, and their defensive line was manhandled. Sure, Indianapolis center Jeff Saturday is one of the league's best at his position, but he dominated rookie Vince Wilfork and veteran Keith Traylor."

MRT, well, after so many years of championship caliber teams, it looks like neither Oakland nor SF will make the playoffs this year if the prognosticators are to be believed. But for 20+ years, a Bay Area team was in the hunt or champion football. Ditto baseball. I could only wish the Chicago teams (Bulls do not count) could have such a period at least once in my lifetime. The Bears did have a good run in the mid-80s, but that was it for me, a Chicago native.

Just proves why QB ratings aren't always a good judge

Week Two is here, and the Bears find themselves playing against their biggest rival. The oldest rivalry in Pro Sports... And as usual lately, the Bears should get slaughtered. At least if the Bears had beat Detroit, a loss against Green Bay wouldn't be so bad. But now, if the Bears go 0 - 2, it will be time to pray for the Cubs to make the play offs, because football is going to just suck for the rest of the year.
