After his record setting game last week, Vasher has 2 picks today vs. Carolina.

[tag]Chris Simms[/tag] is looking really good today. Very efficient and led his team to 28 points so far against a tough Washington defense. He hasn’t made any mistakes and he’s done a good job leading an offense that isn’t blocking well and isn’t running the ball hardly at all anymore. That said, he still throws the ball way too low and gets too many passes knocked down. I don’t think its really a mechanics thing, so I don’t know how you fix it. With the athletes on the defensive line in the NFL, he’s going to have those picked off every now and then and those would be killers.

With less than a minute to go, Simms just led his team to a game-tying touchdown. He hit his wide receiver with a beautiful pass for a 30-yard TD. Wait a second, screw the tie. After two penalties on the Redskins on the extra point try, John Gruden sends the offense out there for the two point conversion. Mike Alstott barely gets in and the conversion is good. Tampa Bay leads 36 – 35.

Troy Aikman and Joe Buck are really hyping him right now and talking about how far he’s come. Glad to see Chris succeeding as he’s always represented the university very well. He’s a Texas Longhorn and even Major Applewhite supporters should be cheering him on.

Twisted his right knee, no word on how severe it is yet.

Priest’s dad says he’s planning on coming back.

Ricky Williams, Roy Williams, Leonard Davis, [tag]Derrick Johnson[/tag], & [tag]Quentin Jammer[/tag] selected.

Injury to spine appears to be a serious threat to his career. Sad news if true.

He runs away with it, getting 15 first place votes.
