The NFL is back. The world is now as it should be.

Forget the political name calling. Who is Joe Wilson?

US Open tennis? Sadly, 2009 will be remembered for Serena's verbal attack on the lineswoman that was epic, unforgettable and alarming. She laughed it off and apologized two days later and then, comically, AMENDED her apology the day after that. "I, uh, wants to apologize to the lineslady for what I says...." Pathetic. But humorous in how she and her "team" ultimately handled the train wreck. Badly.

The tournament SHOULD be remembered for a mom finally winning. Kim Clijsters is adorable and is well liked by everyone. I'm glad she won. On the men's side, Federer was beaten in a very good final by Juan Martin Del Potro who is just 20 years old. Cool.

7:15pm Monday.....

Uggghhhhh.....just watch Buffalo lose to New England on MNF. There must be some curse out there on the Bills, the city of Buffalo or the owner Ralph Wilson. Maybe all three had hexes placed on them? Leading 24-19, all the bills had to due was take a kickoff and run out the clock with 2 minutes to go. The return guy for Buffalo wanted to be a hero and took the ball out of the endzone, raced into a pile of humanity and had the ball twisted out of his hands while his head was being ripped off....Patriots ball. They have Tom Brady. He threw a couple of laser beams, scored and won 25-24. The bills lost because they are the bills - loveable losers.

The Cincy-Denver game was also a mess. Both teams deserved to lose and somehow you just knew it would be the Bengals. It's always the Bengals. I watched HBO's "Hard Knocks" this summer which profiled Cincinnati's team this year so naturally I grew fond of the team and their constant struggle to turn the corner and make the playoffs. Alas, on the last play of the game, a tipped ball turned into an 87 yard pass play that went for a touchdown for the equally hapless Broncos. I think Cincy may be able to turn the season around while Denver will be lucky to win 5 games. Getting rid of Cutler was silly and stupid although he looked horrible for Chicago last night. Me thinks his helmet rides too low and he can't see.

Raiders-Chargers throwback uniforms are way cool. I have 4 players in the game on my fantasy football team - all play for San Diego, sorry Jason. The Raiders will be bad again this year. But next year they can draft Crabtree.

My beloved Eagles are also snakebit but not in an embarassing way like Buffalo or Cincy who continue to torment their fans. The eagles don't necessarily do dumb stuff, it's just that weird things happen to their players - injuries, fumbles at key times, interceptions also at key moments in games. I suppose the best way to describe the eagles is that they don't catch any breaks. Ever. The had home field advantage in the NFC title game. Three times. And lost TWICE. Tampa Bay even beat them in Philly in January. This team hails from Florida and the stat that reporters kept bringing up was that when the game time temperature was under 40 degrees, they had never won. Well the thermometer was stuck at 20 degrees on the day they beat the eagles. Lost to Carolina the same way. This is my nightmare each football season. Join the club.

Last night I heard rumblings about "something" Kanye West did on the MTV Music Video Awards and Youtube'd it before going to bed. Sure enough, the guy storms the stage after Taylor Swift had won an award and grabs the microphone and babbles something about how Beyonce had the best selling video of all time - "I'm just sayin'" and then he shrugged his shoulders and wandered off the stage..... and was then escorted out of the auditorium. What an idiot. Not the first time he did something stupid. He's just a stupid dude.

Raider-Charger game is the equivalent of taking an ambien. I might make it to the end. I might not.

Don't care.

Sleeping good lately. Bipap machine plus supplemental oxygen at night. Sure, with all the breathing stuff in the house you would think an old geezer lived here. Nope. Just me. It's cool though. New magic sleep machine and new Oxygen machine equals good night's sleep for KAR.

Night, night.
