| Team | TW | LW | ||
 |
1 | 1 | Just like The Boondock Saints, the New Orleans Saints always come through in the clutch. | |
 |
2 | 2 | Peyton Manning is right off the pace for most yards in a season. | |
 |
3 | 3 | Brett Favre was 22-25 passing this week. This season is on the verge of being of my the best of his career. | |
 |
4 | 5 | The Patriots should scare everyone. | |
 |
5 | 4 | The Roscoe Parrish goat of the week: Andre Caldwell. | |
 |
6 | 10 | At least the chargers didn’t wait until they were 3-7 to turn it around this season. | |
 |
7 | 7 | The ‘Boys five hundred billion dollar stadium will be on display on Thanksgiving for all to see. | |
 |
8 | 6 | The Steelers lost to the ‘Skins and might possibly say hello to Dennis Dixon as their starting QB. It’s been quite a week. | |
 |
9 | 9 | At least one big name concussed QB plans to play this week (Kurt Warner). | |
 |
10 | 8 | Kyle Orton with one leg is better than Chris Simms? Let’s face it, a one legged, one armed, one eyed flying purple people eater is better than Simms. | |
 |
11 | 12 | Former Eagle Jon Runyan has decided to run for congress in New Jersey. If any state needs a good blocker, it’s Jersey. | |
 |
12 | 13 | Eli and the Giants are back. Hey, that sounds like the name of a wedding band. | |
 |
13 | 16 | Here’s a prediction: the Packers will feast on Lions this Thanksgiving. | |
 |
14 | 11 | 1-4 since 4-1. Which way will the team go now? | |
 |
15 | 17 | Mike Sims-Walker had 106 less yards receiving than Terrell Owens on Sunday, but his team won. | |
 |
16 | 15 | Just when we all start to think that the Texans might jump into the playoff talk, they do the same thing they do every year. | |
 |
17 | 14 | Round out the losing AFC North teams. The whole division went 0-4 on Sunday. | |
 |
18 | 20 | The Titans are doing so well even officials are high-fiveing Vince Young. | |
 |
19 | 21 | Big win over Carolina somehow puts Miami back into the playoff chatter. | |
 |
20 | 18 | Mark Sanchez was 8-21 with 4 interceptions last week. Maybe it had something to do with a fire alarm being pulled in their hotel at 1 a.m. the night before. | |
 |
21 | 19 | I just can’t figure out these bears. | |
 |
22 | 22 | The 49ers decided to drop their tampering charge against the Jets. I guess they realize that they have a lot more to worry about. | |
 |
23 | 23 | Say goodbye to your playoffs dreams. | |
 |
24 | 24 | I’m positive the phrase “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.” Was written in reference to this franchise. | |
 |
25 | 25 | EXCITING match up with the Rams this week. | |
 |
26 | 26 | Bruce Gradkowski and his Raiders beat the Steelers. Goodbye JaMarcus “overhyped” Russell. | |
 |
27 | 27 | For one their defense played well, but they just couldn’t score enough to win in losing 7-6 to Dallas. | |
 |
28 | T-32 | How did the Chiefs beat the Steelers sans Larry Johnson and Dwayne Bowe. | |
 |
29 | T-32 | Yay, turkey, stuffing and the Detroit Lions. Thanksgiving doesn’t get any better. Oh wait, there are thirty-one ways that it could be better. | |
 |
T-32 | T-32 | I almost feel like Kyle Boller might be a step up from Mark Bulger. | |
 |
T-32 | T-32 | Instead of continuing to watch the Bucs lose, why not DVR “The League” on FX and watch it instead. | |
 |
T-32 | T-32 | Brady Quinn threw his support for Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis. I’m not sure how much clout a QB with a career passer rating of 68.5 has though. |
