Taking Issue w/ ESPN Power Rankings

More non-music for a second. ESPN released their week 2 Power Rankings yesterday and I am appalled that New England has retained the top spot. First of all -- apparently they're cheaters. Second, the beat up on the f'ing Jets. Wow, you's guys is da mans!

But check this: New England topped the Jets 38-14 (a margin of just 24 points) while allowing two offensive touchdowns. The Colts on the other hand beat the New Orleans Saints -- arguably the best team in the NFC, and an apparent offensive powerhouse -- by a margin of 31 and allowed ZERO offensive touchdowns. Explain to me why the New England Patriots deserve to be in the top spot? What a joke.

I hope LT and the Chargers put a hurt on the Pats this week. You know they're reeling from that playoff loss last year.

Travis Henry is to Wilt Chamberlain, as...

You gotta love this bit from the Sports Guy on ESPN's Page 2. I am the (proud?) owner of Henry in at least one league... even though I think he'll probably bomb this year.

15. Travis Henry
A little scary because of the fumbling problem and Mike Shanahan's abject hatred for fantasy owners ... and that's before we get to last weekend's remarkable "nine kids by nine different women" revelation. Remember when we were all blown away when it was reported that Shawn Kemp had seven kids by six different women? If Kemp was like Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile, then Henry just brought the sports fertility record down to the 3:35 range. You have to admire the way he's spreading his seed around. According to the guys at Football Outsiders, Henry has the highest kids-per-partners rate (100.0) since they started keeping track of the stat in 1993.
