FSN PRO FOOTBALL PREVIEW
After a passionate exchange between analysts Tim Brown and Eddie George about rampant cheating among NFL teams in the wake of the New England Patriots spying scandal last week, well-respected football insider website profootballtalk.com echoed the words of many in the football community when it called FSN's PRO FOOTBALL PREVIEW a "must see" NFL preview show.Hosted by Jay Glazer, with Brown, George and Jason Sehorn, PFP has become the best place on television for no-holds-barred, gritty football discussions, the best inside information and the most informative analysis.
On this week's installment of FSN PRO FOOTBALL PREVIEW, the crew takes a look at the Patriots and why they seem to be head and shoulders above the rest of the NFL. Plus, Houston's newest star, Texans QB Matt Schuab, talks about changing the atmosphere for one of the NFL's most hapless franchises and what they need to do to continue their early season success. And just for kicks, Brown and Sehorn put ``The Ridiculous One,'' Devin Hester, under the microscope and explain why the Chicago Bear has had so many big returns.

Best Damn Quotes:
Curtis Martin (on playing for Herm Edwards): "Playing for Herm is like playing for Don King. He was such a great promoter. There were times — I remember our entire offensive line was hurt, we were down to our third quarterback, our receivers were hurt, I had my career-ending injury and every week we'd go out there feeling like we were going to beat the New England Patriots and everyone else who lined up against us. He's a great promoter. And a great coach."
