Your loser update: week 8.

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Well, well, well. It looks like the hapless Rams actually managed to pick up their first victory against none other than the hapless Detroit Lions in what should have been called the “Who Cares? Bowl”.

Also, in somewhat less amazing news, Tennessee actually managed to win a game against Jacksonville, even with Vince Young quarterbacking. I’m dubious about Young in the long term; we’ll see next week about the short term.

Tampa Bay had a bye this week, so…NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:

Steam engine time.

Last Sunday, a blood relative of mine was rear-ended while driving their Toyota Avalon; the force of the collision was sufficient to total the Avalon.

This Sunday, I was rear-ended while driving my mother back from San Antonio in her Toyota Avalon. Fortunately, it does not look like this Avalon is a total loss.

If you drive a Toyota Avalon, or are related to me by blood or marriage, please be careful on the highway until further notice.

(As a side note, Trooper Seth Fry of the Texas DPS was kind, polite, sympathetic, and made a stressful situation somewhat easier to deal with. My thanks to him.)
