ROOK’S RECAP 1.0

“You Can’t always get what you want”

THE LEAD ITEM

TWO WORDS:  RED. FLAG.

The Miami Dolphins may have lost against the Pittsburgh Steelers because Nic Saban throws like a girl. Did you see the way he threw that thing? I mean Sheddawg Mike’s daughter Melanie could have thrown better than that. But in Nic’s defense there should be a referee assigned to look at the sidelines after controversial plays. And I am glad to report that because of this incident, there will be from now on.

THE GAME

Put it in the record books: Daunte Culpepper’s first pass completion was to…….Chambers? No  Booker? Nah  Boston? What? …..Justin Peelle. Yes!! It was Justin who looked most appeelleing to Culpepper. That’s the only thing Daunte wants in the books after this game. He did throw 2 brutal, heartbreaking INTS that killed the Dolphins hopes of winning. And, he could have easily had 4 picks if you were watching closely. Who almost had a heart attack when he threw to Ike Taylor in the endzone? Me. But to be honest, it’s his first game back, and seeing pics of Darcy Broderick of the Fables wearin a #8 Culpepper jersey makes it all worthwhile. Heave away Daunte!! Heave away!

FINAL SCORE: Shitsburgh 28 Miami 17

Ally’s All-star dolphin:  Wes Welker

Bum of the week:  Michael Lehan. Too many mistakes and constantly got screamed at by Saban on the sidelines.

*New Feature: Dawg-O-Meter: Where I rate the overall enjoyment of the game on a custom made scale of 1 to 10. (1 being if the dolphins are killin’ the jets on a Monday night and Vinnie Wind-tested-Ferby mounts a crazy comeback and the Jets win. 10 being well, a Miami superbowl win)

Week 1 Dawg-0-Meter rating: 5

Melanie’s Quote of the week comes from Daunte Culpepper:

"Personally, Sunday can't get here quick enough because I want to get out and just play winning football the way I know how to play,"

THE GAME OUTSIDE THE GAME

Best commercial of the night: 1) Reggie Bush vs. Diet Pepsi Machine

Commentators: Al Michaels and John Madden. Pretty evenly called. Still can’t figure out Madden’s Double Bubble rule though.

Did you see Charle Batch’s Moms hair!! Crazy!  Makes Dog the bounty hunter’s hair look good.
