Packers Top First NFL Power Poll

Packers sit at the top of the week 1 poll.

I think San Fran and Philly might be too high and the Jets and Carolina might be too low.  We'll see.

Dancing With the Stars Week 1 Results - Artest Fouls Out!

There was nothing boring about what took place in the new Dancing With the Stars' ballroom last night.

We got to see some good, some bad, and the show producers made sure they saved the ugly for the end.  That happened to be the controversial Chaz Bono, who didn't dance all that bad.

It appears that NBA-player Ron Artest, who was only able to garner 14 points last night may be the first to go.  
Here comes the results show...

After the opening dance number choreographed by Lacey Schwimmer we get down to business.  

Millions voted via phone and on ABC.com last night.  The first three contestants up are Ricki, Elisabetta, and Rob.  Ricki Lake and Derrick Hough are safe.  Elisabetta and Val are also safe.  Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke are put into jeopardy. 

Kind of a surprise, but Rob was in danger with his low scores.  Elisabetta and Ricki and very happy to move on.

Next up was a new song by Harry Connick Jr.  It's for the new movie, "Dolphin Tale."  Harry also has a new show opening on Broadway in December.  Should be good.

Here we go with more eliminations.  Hope Solo, Kristin Cavallari, and Ron Artest are front and center.  The next coupe safe is Hope and Maks.  Ron and Peta are put in jeopardy and Kristin and Mark Ballas are safe.

Following this we got to meet this season's dance troupe.  Three new members and some returning dancers. 

LMFAO was the next musical guest.  Peta, Cheryl, Maks and Val did the dance number with LMFAO.  Mark and Lacey then joined then with some more high energy steps.  Why does that guy in LMFAO have a box on his head?

Next on the block are J.R., Chynna, of course Chaz.  Chynna and Tony are safe.  J.R. and Karina are also safe, as a bonus, Chaz and Lacey are also safe.

The final 3 to find out their fate are Nancy, David and Carson.  The next couple safe is David and Kym.  Nancy and Tristan are in jeopardy, that means Carson and Anna are safe.

It all comes down to Rob, Ron Artest (Metta), or Nancy Grace going home.  Who will it be?

After Rob and Cheryl are brought to safety, it comes down to two.

The first couple eliminated is... Ron (Metta) and Peta.  More dancing next week!

Week 1 NFL Play: San Diego

Here we go with another NFL season.  While Green Bay got off to a quick start on Thursday, the rest of the league now gets down to business.

Our first play of the season is the San Diego Chargers.

The Vikings head out west with a lot of unknowns.  We know one important fact about the Chargers and tha tis they are good. 

That and Norv Turner coached Charger tears are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

Not good for the Vikings is they are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games.

Take the Chargers, give the 7 points to Minnesota.

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell for Week 2

Week 1 in the NFL is usually a crap shoot.  No different this year as some surprises emerged and some players slid.  Also, many injuries to keep your eyes on.

Buy:- Arian Foster RB Texans - Broke out in a big way with 231 rushing yards amd 3 TDs.  He may not equal this type of game again, but he should be a more than solid performer.

Miles Austin WR Cowboys - He just signed a big contract to remain in "Big D" and he showed why he is worth all that money.  146 yards and a TD.

Austin Collie WR Colts - A big game for Collie.  Peyton Manning has a lot of faith in this young wideout.  He has great hands and runs great routs.  His numbers may be a little inconsistent each week, but he will give you the occasional big week.

Brandon Jackson RB - Packers - Ryan Grant is out with an ankle injury.  Jackson will carry the load and he is a capable back.  Also a good pass catcher.  Showed some flashes against the Eagles.

Michael Vick - QB Eagles - Vick should be the starter and looked like the Vick of old.  Will put up numbers on the ground and in the air.

Matt Hasselbeck QB Seahawks - Hasselbeck didn't look old to start the season and put up some big numbers.  He might actually be a starting QB for some fantasy teams as early as this week.

Visanthe Shiancoe TE Vikings - He might be Favre's favorite target this year. Start him!

Sell:  Anyone on the Buffalo Bills - A terrible start for the Bills and the schedule doesn't get any easier.

Matt Ryan QB Falcons - Disappointing first game to say the least.

Brett Favre QB Vikings - Favre looks old and rusty against the Saints.  Not sure if he'll get any better.

Matt Moore QB Panthers - Terrible and he may be out injured anyway.  Make way for Jimmy Clausen.

San Francisco 49ers Defense - Overated and got schooled by the Seahawks.
