Colts beat Texans 30- 17
Peyton Manning was everything for the Colts in their Monday night showdown versus the Houston Texans. The Colts who uncharacteristically were toppled by the Texans in week one were looking for revenge in their second showdown. In their week one matchup Arian Foster ran over the Colts and made it look as if he would never stop. It was Manning that controlled the game in every way. Manning threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns while also running for a big first down. The Colts now have five wins and are atop the AFC South division. This is a very uncharacteristic situation for the Colts seeing that they usually have a commanding lead on the AFC South.

Briere suspended for three games due to dirty hit
On Monday night the NHL suspended Danny Briere for three games because of his cross check on Islanders’ Frans Nielson. Briere and Nielson faced off against each other in the third period. Before play had even started they were jawing and had to be silenced by the referee. Once the puck was dropped Briere came up and crosschecked Nielson in the face. It looked like a dirty hit but could also be chalked up to hard play. Either way he will miss three games and will add another suspension to his rap sheet. It seems that every year there is always talk about a flyers player that is involved with a suspension. No matter what time of year or the situation, the league seems to use the Flyers as their whipping boy.

Bad week seven puts Hobb on the bench
If anyone is responsible for Ellis Hobbs’ demotion it would Kenny Britt. One week removed from the show that Kenny Britt put up Dimitri Patterson has been selected to start over the ailing Hobbs. Britt put up 225 yards and three touchdowns. Most of which were while he was facing Hobbs. This change is seen as a needed one and might make Hobbs a better player because of the time on the pine bench.

Moss let go after dismal play with Vikings
This past Sunday, Randy Moss of the Minnesota Vikings was placed onto waivers after just 4 games played. In his second stint with Minnesota in his long 13 year career he caught just 13 passes for 174 yards and only two touchdowns. Moss was acquired from New England in a trade for Minnesota’s third round draft pick in the 2011 draft. This was seen as a great pick up and was supposed to be just the weapon that Farve needed to get over the hump and bring a title to Minnesota. The Buffalo Bills now have the first choice whether or not to pick up Moss or to pass on him. The NFL waiver system works that the last placed team is given the first opportunity and then moves up from there until all the teams have been given their opportunity. This will make for an interesting watch to see where this veteran receiver lands.
