Hot Links!! Git yer Hot Links!!

1) How bad is the state of the 49ers when head coach Mike Singletary announces he will be playing eenie meenie minee moe every week to decide who the starting quarterback will be? I seriously believe that his job is in jeopardy and with all the talent being wasted on that team they should have a better record than they do. Hey Mike!! Just out of curiousity.........is your favorite band The Smiths?

2) Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth is suspended for the remainder of the season. He has openly stated that he doesn't like playing in 3-4 defenses. It's funny how Adam Carriker played in a 4-3 defense here with the Rams and didn't perform and was believed to be a better fit in Washington's scheme. Am I the only Rams fan that is wondering waaaaay back in the back of my head if Haynesworth is too much trouble or would he be delighted to be part of positive environment under Coach Spags in our 4-3? If so, what would we have to give up to get him?

3) Are you tired of Rex Ryans antics and his pearly whites? I know I am! Oh, by the way, Rex? If my wife wanted to be a magazine model, she could be if she tried! I was rooting for the Patriots to give the Jets a beat down and bring Ryan back to earth. Did they? Boy howdy!!

4) What is it with Brett Favre? When was the last time he played in a Super Bowl? It's been 13 years since his Packers lost to the Elway's Broncos. Was Favre the QB when Vince Lombardi was the coach? I can't remember.  Why is it that NFL Network, ESPN and FOX Sports needs to continue with their collective man crush with him? To me it seems like all he cares about is his consecutive games streak while the Minnesota Vikings season has fallen apart around him. In my opinion, the Vikes need to put Tarvaris Jackson on the field to see what they have in him before they go into the draft for next year. I can't wait for Favre to ride off into the sunset so these networks will be forced to talk about someone else and maybe the Rams can get a little more face time.

5) As much flak as the Martz-Linehan era has recieved for the bum draft picks we made during those era's, we gotta give Mike Martz and his scouting department kudo's for drafting Ryan Fitzpatrick. He is doing a helluva job and at least one NFL expert is saying that the team should keep him for the quarterback of the future. (Un)fortunately, that team is the Buffalo Bills. I'm not saying in ANY way that I would prefer Fitz over Bradford but at least one of the picks from that era has panned out, even though it's for someone else.

6) Ed Hochuli is at it again. Makes you wonder if the NFL is taking a look at this guy for his penchant for making horrendous calls. He was the referee involved in the "pass interference" call against OJ Atogwe in the overtime loss against the 49ers. Now he is under scrutiny for making that "unnecessary roughness" call against Ndamukong Suh. Don't you sometimes wonder if the league is trying to turn Suh into the next Richie Incognito? Seems like everytime we talk about him is because he did something in a game to lighten the load on his wallet.
