NFL Week 3 Review

Posted by: Amir Sahib In: Football| NFL

Last 10 days of Ramadan are upon us.  Didn’t watch much football.  Just a few minuts here and there, but it was a crazy week.  Here’s my recap:
Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots
We no longer have to worry about the Patriots.  Randy Moss is nothing without Tom Brady.  Ronnie Brown scored 5 touchdowns!  Patriots defense [...]

NFL Week 2 Review

Posted by: Amir Sahib In: Football| NFL

So week 2 turned out to be much better than the 1st week for many teams but also disappointing for others.
New York Giants at St. Louis Rams
It was a blow out!  Eli Manning, Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress took the ram out of Rams.  Our defense even stepped up with that interception turning it into [...]

NFL Week 1 Review

Posted by: Amir Sahib In: America| Football| NFL

These are just the reviews of the games I watched.  Ramadan obviously took up more of my NFL time, which is good.
Washington Redskins at New York Giants
Giants won!  Although the game was not as good as I expected for us.  The Redskins suddenly started to play in the 4th quarter which may have been due [...]
