How bad are the Giants? I wish the Patriots would spy on them and tell us what they're doing wrong. I am already rooting for the Giants to have the worst record in the league and the first pick in the draft that comes with it. That may be the only positive thing that comes out of this season. Yes, two games into the season, I am that confident.

The Patriots are going to another Super Bowl. Mark it down. Bill Belichick can hand the NFL every piece of "Spygate" evidence they want, including next week's game plan, and it won't matter. Only injuries can slow down Tom Brady and Randy Moss. I saw Moss play in high school in West Virginia. I covered his football and basketball games. When he is motivated (and he is right now) he is one of the most dominating athletes I have ever seen---on the level of a Tiger Woods!

Notre Dame should be a compelling watch on NBC this fall. You Notre Dame haters, and I know you are out there, you are enjoying this 0-3 start which could end up even worse. You will watch the games though, kid of like a train wreck, just wanting to see how bad the damage really becomes. As a longtime Irish fan (my Grandfather went there in the 1920's), this is painful. But they will be back. I am just not sure what "back" means for Note Dame....9-3, 8-4. They should really join the Big East! Over the last decade UConn has more bowl wins than Notre Dame: For those scoring at home...UConn 1, Notre Dame 0.

Speaking of the Huskies, that was an ugly win over Temple Saturday. But I'd rather have ugly wins than pretty losses, right? I missed the game. I had my stepsister's wedding. It sounds like the Huskies may have been a bit flat. But who cares. Save your "A" game for Saturday in the Big East opener at Pittsburgh. That's when they will need their best. And as legendary basketball coach John Wooden once preached, "be at your best when your best is needed."

Lastly, I am so happy to see the progress that Bills tight end Kevin Everitt is making since suffering a severe spinal cord injury. I had a friend in college, Mel Fahnstock, who was left paralyzed from the neck down, following a rugby accident. Many of us, myself included, take for granted how lucky we are to climb out of bed in the morning. Not everyone is so blessed. I still remember some of my friends, who lived with Mel, turning him over at night when he returned to school so as to prevent bed sores. People like Mel and Kevin Everitt are an inspiration and a reminder to all of us of how fragile life can be. I hope that Everitt makes a full recovery.

As for me, I am still recovering from the wedding. Too much "bad" dancing! That's bad as in bad, not bad as in good. Have a good week.
