We stink...we took both road teams and came out on the short end in both games.

The Falcons couldn't stop the Cardinals big play offense and the Cards went against their playbook and established the running game. Rookie Matt Ryan made some definite rookie mistakes and the Cards took it 30-24.

The AFC match up between the Chargers and Colts was very entertaining and went to overtime before running back Darren Sproles ran for a game winning touchdown. Sproles got the chance to shin before a national audience due to a first half groin injury by LaDainian Tomlinson.

The 5'6" 181 pound powder keg rushed for 102 yards and 2 touchdowns and showed no after effects of a lost fumble earlier in the game. Sproles also caught 5 passes for 45 yards, had 106 return yards on kickoffs and averaged 24 yards on 3 punt returns.

The Bolts take it, 23-17.

Padres Acquire Edmonds

The Padres have agreed to a trade that will bring them a new center fielder in Jim Edmonds. In return, San Diego will send the St. Louis Cardinals' Single-A third baseman David Freese. The Cards will also help defray the cost of Edmonds $8 million salary, but sending $1 million the Padres' way. Bud Selig will have to approve the deal due to the cash involved.

After spending his first 7 seasons with the Angels, Edmonds has spent the last 8 in St. Louis, winning a World Series championship in 2006.

Freese was a 9th round draft choice out of Southern Alabama, where he was the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year.
