Classic Game of the Week August 12th

I have done Music Video of the Week for a while now. Well I thought of another weekly feature. Classic Game of the Week. Each week now I will go to Youtube, or Hulu to find a classic game from a sport to show. Sometimes everyone will know what the game was, and sometimes people may have no idea what the game was. This week's first version is more than likely the latter for most. In Week 4 of the 1997 Season Jim Harbaugh and the Indianapolis Colts went to Buffalo, to play Todd Collins and the Bills. The Colts were up 26-0 in the 2nd Quarter when Buffalo made it's comeback. Buffalo WR Quinn Early had a career day for the Bills. RB Antowain Smith had a great game for the Bills too. Up 30-29 with a little over a minute to play Smith burst through a hole and went over 50 yards for a TD to put the Bills up 37-29. In classic Buffalo fashion he gave the Colts life, when they would have lost for sure had he done a "Brian Westbrook" and not scored a TD. Well the Colts scored a TD to cut it to 37-35, but then missed the 2 point conversion. The Colts still had one last chance after recovering the onside kick, but a Hail Mary in the final seconds went incomplete. Here is The "Forgotten" Comeback Game. One thing of note also is Jim Kelly doing the color commentary for NBC!

JaMarcus Russell The Ultimate NFL Draft Bust

With the release of JaMarcus Russell by the Oakland Raiders, after just three years with the team, you can make the case, as I would, that Russell goes down as the biggest bust in NFL history. Looking back at the video when he was drafted #1 in 2007 it's funny to hear what the ESPN people say about Russell, especially Mel Kiper Jr.

Mel Kiper Jr. "JaMarucs Russell is gonna immediately energize that Raider Nation, that fan base, that football team on the practice field, in the locker room. 3 years from now you could be looking at a guy who's certainly one of the elite top 5 quarterbacks in this league."
