| Team | TW | LW | ||
 |
1 | 1 | We’ll find out if they are actually the top dogs when they face the G-men this weekend. | |
 |
2 | 2 | Three blowout wins against terrible teams (Rams, Browns and Lions) and two very close wins against debatable teams (Packers and Niners) | |
 |
3 | 3 | Most fun name in the NFL to say with a French accent: Pierre Garcon. | |
 |
4 | 5 | Should we be wary of the Giants ridiculously easy early schedule? | |
 |
5 | 4 | The Broncos defense is only giving up 8.6 points per game. | |
 |
6 | 9 | Since the Eagles have no running game whatsoever, maybe it’s time to get the ball in Mike Vick’s hands. | |
 |
7 | 6 | Is Tom Brady ok mentally? | |
 |
8 | 10 | “Rowdy” Roddy White looked like a fantasy bust before his nasty 210 yard game against the niners. | |
 |
9 | 7 | Jets should easily get of the shnide on Sunday against Buffalo. | |
 |
10 | 8 | Ravens sign David Tyree. He’s the football equivalent of a lucky rabbit’s foot. | |
 |
11 | 17 | Bengals fans selling “Cardiac Cats” T-shirts. Not sure if that’s a good thing. | |
 |
12 | 11 | Felix “the Cat” Jones and the ‘Boys aren’t a playoff team. | |
 |
13 | 12 | Set October 25th into your day minder. It’s the day Michael Crabtree will make his debut. | |
 |
14 | 13 | Hines “ketchup” Ward doesn’t seem to be slowing down at 33. | |
 |
15 | 14 | Shawne Merriman wants to fight his GM. Who does he think he is, Milton Bradley? | |
 |
16 | 15 | Assumed Packers intense bye week preparation for Detroit? Golf and lots of naps. | |
 |
17 | 16 | Is Terrell Owens going to get traded to the Bears? As a Bills fan, I say send on the draft picks! | |
 |
18 | 20 | How is that the offensive line can give Kurt Warner oodles of time to find receivers, but can’t make holes for Tim Hightower. | |
 |
19 | 18 | Time for the post-season push only to lose out in week 17. | |
 |
20 | 21 | Watch out for the hard-charging ‘Fins. | |
 |
21 | 19 | Are you kidding me? What the heck happened against the Seahawks? The freakin’ Seahawks! | |
 |
22 | 28 | The Panthers are a LOT better than their record. | |
 |
23 | 23 | 41-0 win over Jacksonville. Is this team good? Not bloody likely. | |
 |
24 | 26 | Clinton Portis got in a fight during last week’s game with a team mate. That won’t help anything. | |
 |
25 | 25 | It would be grrrrrrrrreat if he didn’t have to watch the Lions on Thanksgiving this year. | |
 |
26 | 26 | JaMarcus Russell is still playing, eh? And the A’s didn’t make the playoffs again. Tough time to live in Oaktown. | |
 |
27 | 24 | I really hope the Titans start the year 0-10. That would be amazing. | |
 |
28 | 32 | Derek Anderson going 2-17 for 23 yards with ! INT = win? | |
 |
29 | 22 | Trade for Brady Quinn????? Pleeeease! | |
 |
30 | 29 | At least the weather is nice. What? It’s hurricane season? | |
 |
31 | 30 | Delicious barbeque in Kansas City I hear. | |
 |
32 | 31 | Rush Limbaugh isn’t as bad as Marge Schott. |

Tom Brady has issues. Serious issues. The Pats looked better with Matt Cassel – and he didn’t look all that great.
My fantasy team is jacked!
