1 | 1 | The only time two teams have started 11-0 EVER. | |
![]() |
2 | 2 | If the Colts and Saints play in the Superbowl, which of these QB’s would you rather have leading your team? | |
![]() |
3 | 3 | Brett Favre uses his mighty war hammer to battle the snake of Midgard…or the Arizona Cardinals. | |
![]() |
4 | 5 | Just like Del Preston, nobody wants to run into an angry Bengal tiger in the middle of the night. | |
![]() |
5 | 6 | Here comes the Super Chargers. They’ve been flying under the radar all year and are all of a sudden one of the best teams in the AFC. | |
![]() |
6 | 4 | We learned two things about the Pats this week: They have no defense and they can’t win on the road (0-4). | |
![]() |
7 | 7 | Big Thanksgiving win over an extremely over matched Raiders team. | |
![]() |
8 | 10 | Nice romp over the most over rated team in the NFL (NY). | |
![]() |
9 | 8 | Dennis Dixon played great in defeat, but it’s back to Big Ben this week. | |
![]() |
10 | 9 | Don’t feel bad, all of a sudden nobody can beat the Titans. | |
![]() |
11 | 11 | I like it when J.D. rides Turk piggy back and yells “Eeeeeeagle!” on Scrubs. | |
![]() |
12 | 13 | The Packers just signed a tight end named Tom Crabtree. Is he as good as Michael Crabtree? Highly unlikely.. | |
![]() |
13 | 12 | What is wrong with the G-men? | |
![]() |
14 | 18 | The Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde routine continues with their last second win over Arizona, their fifth straight triumph. | |

![]() |
16 | 17 | In Flacco we trust. | |
![]() |
17 | 15 | The Jaguars are more disappointing than New Coke. | |
![]() |
18 | 16 | Did NOT bring it against the Colts. Looks like the Texans are doomed for the purgatory of .500ish until For-E-Ver. | |
![]() |
19 | 22 | Too little too late is a phrase I’d use to describe this Niners season if I was a pessimist. | |
![]() |
20 | 19 | I hate the Dolphins so much that I was glad when Snow Flake got kidnapped. | |
![]() |

![]() |
22 | 21 | The Bears season is sinking like a lead filled Titanic. | |

![]() |
24 | 23 | Former Pro Bowl QB Jake Delhomme has 8 TD’s and 18 INT’s. That’s right Eight-freakin’-teen! | |
![]() |
25 | 25 | Maybe the Seahawks should re-sign Peter Warrick. He’s playing for the Bloomington Extreme of the Indoor Football League. | |
![]() |
26 | 26 | It’s time for Darren Mcfadden to be the full-time wildcat quarterback. Run nothing but the wildcat. | |
![]() |
27 | 27 | Dear Dan Snyder, sell the Redskins to someone who knows remotely how to run a professional sports franchise let alone a Dairy Queen. | |
![]() |
28 | 28 | Chiefs: Most recent team to get embarrassed by the Chargers. | |
![]() |
29 | 29 | You probably had to watch the terrible Lions on Thanksgiving. Now check out the greatest holiday movie off all-time. Christmas Vacation is airing all week on AMC. | |
![]() |
