No Daunte haters this year

Daunte Culpepper continued his amazing season tonight with his third five touchdown pass game of the season. With this performance Culpepper should move ahead of Peyton Manning in anybody's "who's the best quarterback in the league this year" discussion. Manning is considered by most the best quarterback in the league because of his numbers, but more importantly his ability to read defenses at the line of scrimmage. Culpepper appears to not only be putting up the big numbers like he always has, but his poise and decision making skills have been almost perfect this year. The fact that he continued to play like the best quarterback in the league in the second half against the Saints without Randy Moss on the field even goes further to prove Culpepper has stepped up his game this year.

Johnnies lose

While yesterday's slate of college football games was soured for me because the University of Minnesota laid an egg the size of the Metrodome, I was happy to hear about one final score in Collegeville. St. John's lost 21-20 to Concordia on their home field which hurts their playoff chances. That means there is a good chance that I won't have to read the annual sappy feature story about head coach John Gagliardi in the Star Tribune this fall.
