NFL week one Monday morning recap

Of course, everything was about Antonio Brown and his saga since training camp opened. Let's give a rough overview for those that don't give a shit about football and who might be bored enough to read this blog entry.

• AB came to camp in a hot air balloon.
• AB didn't practice because he slept in a crypt cryotherapy unit and got frostbite on his feet.
• AB refused to practice because he wasn't allowed to wear his old helmet, which no longer fit the NFL's criteria.
• AB tried to paint his old helmet to look like his new helmet and sneak on the practice field.
• AB lost three grievances with the NFL regarding the helmet.
• Ab got into a verbal scuffle with the Raiders GM, where nasty things were said. Maybe racist words were spewed from AB.
• AB asked to be released via social media.
• AB is released by the Raiders.
• AB is signed by the New England Patriots for a one year contract worth millions--not the millions he was looking for in Pittsburgh, but still millions.

Sketchy.

I'm not the only one with that word coming from her lips. According to Fox's inside reporter, who has his finger on the pulse of most coaches, players, and bigwigs, Jay Glazer reported that everyone, let me repeat that, EVERYONE inside the NFL thinks the same way. We can only hope that the NFL is investigating, but yeah, me too...I'm laughing.

Cara: "I hate that bad behavior is rewarded. Why? Why is it that Bill Belichick is so disrespectful of other organizations by rewarding bad behavior? I'm tired of the bad guys always winning."

Jimmy Johnson: "I don't like bad behavior being rewarded. Talent gets away with it. This guy is a knucklehead."

And that's how Sunday NFL week one began.

Madison: "Four years. Four years I avoided football season."

Me: "Welcome home, Madison!"

Steelers: I enjoy football when I have no team to be invested in. Sunday afternoon was fun. Sunday evening...I blog on my team, and then I blog on the other exciting happenings around the league. But it's hard to report on a team that doesn't show up to play. Oh, the Steelers were a physical show in Foxborough, just not in any other way. I have nothing to say...

Others: 

• The first touchdown - Patrick Mahomes' 68-yard pass to Sammy Watkins. At the six-minute mark, the Kansas City Chief quarterback had amassed 140 yards. Did I mention that he is my fantasy QB?
• The first pick - Minnesota grabbed the ball after Atlanta's Matt Ryan tried to squeeze it into Julio Jones, also one of my fantasy players.
• The first missed kick - Cleveland Browns rookie kicker Austin Seibert who missed the extra point.
• The first fumble - Minnesota's quarterback Kirk Cousins--but wait...
• The first challenge - the fumble call on Cousins. The first ruling? Overturned because Cousins throwing arm was coming forward.
• The first fight - Eagles DeSean Jackson and Redskins Quintan Dunbar.
• The first sack - Vikings Anthony Barr on Falcons Matt Ryan from the right side.
• First unsportsmanlike conduct call - Buffalo's Jon Feliciano, who made a late hit while having his quarterback's back.
• The first injury - Jacksonville's quarterback Nick Foles after getting sandwiched between one defender and one of his own lineman after throwing a touchdown. Out for the game.
• The first player disqualified - Jacksonville Miles Jack, because he threw a few punches. When it was announced he was gone, he went beserk and started punching some more. He had to be literally hauled off the field by two staff members griping his arms with steel.
• My first scare - Patrick Mahomes having to go into the tent for first aid. So much for my bragging on my fantasy team. Jeez.
• Most blood on the field - Rams Safety Eric Weddle spilled that after getting kicked in the head in the second quarter. The blood poured after the removal of his helmet, and even RedZone host Scott Hanson got queasy. 
• Most points - The Baltimore Ravens who showed what knocking an old quarterback to the curb in favor of a fresh one looked like.
• Worst team - The Miami Dolphins followed closely by the Steelers and the Bears, and I'd add the Packers.
• Most ridiculous comments after week one - The Patriots already have the Super Bowl win. 

But it's just week one, people. Let's see how the rest of the season plays out. Right now, I have no bold predictions.
