For people who enjoy playing with silly nicknames, here's Optimus Grimes versus Megatron from yesterday's Detroit-Miami tilt.

There was one offensive pass interference call on Calvin Johnson in the first half where he bumped Grimes and Grimes bounced off him like a small child, but he went on to have about as good a game on Calvin as you can expect from someone giving up seven inches and 46 lbs.

That's "play of the year" material, right there.

Carson Palmer cried like a baby:

  • Friday: signs three year, $50M contract with extension ($20.5M guaranteed)
  • Sunday: tears ACL, out for remainder of season

Dont' look now, but my beloved Hurricanes have just won five of their last six, scoring in all six of those games. Time to give 'em the Stanley Cup!
