Nightmare for Outlaw

Outlaw slept peacefully Monday night knowing that he did not need Emmitt to beat Best. Had he stayed awake, he may not have never gone to sleep. Emmitt's injury leaves Outlaw's season in the balance. Not many more ugly wins can be up his sleeve without Emmitt. When will he return? Who knows, but this IS Emmitt Smith. He has amazing recuperative powers.

Hey JK, need another QB?

Like they don't have enough already - Here's Curtis Conway winding up to throw a TD in Monday nights game.

Some ugly games this week. Three games were stuck in the 20's:

• OUTLAW and BEST put on a sorry exhibition unworthy of their top two picks. SF QBs and Emmitt Smith. Injuries forced OUTLAW to dig deep. Zack Crockett scored his first NFL regular season TD on a two yard pass.
• Digging deep should have been the advice of WALLACE and J/K. They had 19 and 17 points on the bench respectively.
• RICKER buffaloed past CZ 29-24 in a rematch of the 92 Super Bowl. In a game that must have been as dull as that Sunday night game that produced most of the points.

BARRY got the first "pair" score of the year as Ben Coates hauled in a pass from Drew Bledsoe, but it was hardly enough to overcome CALVIN, who had scores from Rice, Moore and Dorsey Levens to win 39-28.

TALBOT rocked STROUPE 42-20 behind old names Terry Allen and Heywood Jeffires. Stroupe got a pleasant surprise from some of his bench backs. James Stewart Karim Abdul-Jabbar had breakout games. In a football context you might wonder who they are, but movie and basketball fans have known those names forever.
