Sgt John's Signs of the Football Apocalypse

[Sgt John]

I know guys get older, but these gems from the last few weeks standout to me:

V.Davis REC: 7 YDS: 93 TD: 3

Remember when this dude was a locker room cancer?

LaDainian Tomlinson had a season-best 71 yards rushing

Remember when LT had 71 yards rushing. On one drive. With a TD.

Cincinnati (5-2) 45, Chicago (3-3) 10

My how times have changed.

It wouldn't have been appropriate for Manning to try for the mark the way his unbeaten team was beating up on the woeful St. Louis Rams.

Remember when this could have been a high scoring Super Bowl match?

Then you see the stat that decided the game and defined Jake Delhomme's miserable season with Carolina: turnovers.

Remember when Jake was all the rage?

"We feel like we've got one of the best defenses in the league,"

Remember when Anquan Boldin would have drawn a drug test for making this kind of statement about the Cardinals D?

It was the worst game in what has become an increasingly terrible season for the Titans (0-6), who have lost their last three by 20, 22 and 59 points

Remember when the Titans were feared?

"We not only got the monkey off our back, we got King Kong off our back," said Lions owner William Clay Ford. "I'm hoping that this gets us over that hump and gives us a winning attitude."

Hump? When you have a bye week and the entire nation fails to notice I dont think you are over any hump.

Cedric Benson - 189 yds and 1 TD

Remember when he was first round bust with a bad attitude and an alcohol problem? He now leads the NFL in rushing.

Bensen did show flashes of what was yet to come late last season. I made a move to get him in the last week of the season to use as a keeper. I failed to land him so I grabbed him in our draft to pair with Turner and Jacobs. I thonght I was getting myself a sure fire back up back, lol. Needless to say he's starting every week for me now. The question has become whether to sit Turner or Jacobs each week.
