You’re stepping all over me, Jaws!!! - I’m not sure if anyone else noticed this last night, but the broadcast crew for the first MNF game had a heck of a time remembering their roles. On at least three separate occasions in the 4th quarter, Ron Jaworksi blew right through his commentary and started excitedly shouting out the play-by-play, cutting Mike Tirico out of the picture in the process. It sounded like Tirico was none too happy about this, going so far as to cut Jaws off on a couple of occasions as the game waned.

Portland, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis to become sister cities - Yet another Pacer has been arrested. This time it’s forward Shawne Williams, who got dinged last night with marijuana possession and driving without a license. The brilliance of GM Larry Bird continues to shine through.

He’s a big meaniehead, too! - MSNBC’s Bob Cook uncorks on Bill Belichick. “As his team gets further removed from its Super Bowl run, Belichick’s career as a Hall of Fame coach is quickly being overtaken by his career as a Hall of Fame jackass.”

That’s all for now. Stay classy, Rochester.
