| Team | TW | LW | ||
 |
1 | 1 | Another comeback, another win for Drew Brees and the bayou boys. | |
 |
2 | 2 | The battle of the undefeated continues. | |
 |
3 | 3 | Jared Allen: bringing back the mullet and vanilla ice shaved lines since 2009. | |
 |
4 | 4 | Face the Colts this week. AKA a Pats game I’ll actually watch. | |
 |
5 | 5 | Nice win on Monday night over Denver, tough test this weekend against the Bengals. | |
 |
6 | 8 | Chad Ochocinco is back to his old tricks. He tried to bribe a referee with a dollar. | |
 |
7 | 7 | Tony Gonzalez and his wife got naked for a recent PETA ad. Apparently, Gonzalez is a vegan. I guess you learn something new every day. | |
 |
8 | 9 | The ‘Boys are playing great. This is usually the time in the season where they have a meltdown. | |
 |
9 | 6 | Lucky for the Broncos, they have the ‘Skins this week. | |
 |
10 | 10 | Why is Mike Vick even on the Eagles? | |
 |
11 | 18 | Tim Hightower and Beanie Wells combined for 149 yards against the Bears. Thunder and Lightning? | |
 |
12 | 11 | It’s official: The G-men are more lost than Doctor Jack Shepherd. | |
 |
13 | 12 | They should be sponsored by Icy Hot because this team is so hot and cold. | |
 |
14 | 13 | LaDainian Tomlinson is the Terrell Owens of running backs. | |
 |
15 | 14 | With the demotion of Steve Slaton, I officially have no starting running backs on my fantasy team. | |
 |
16 | 15 | Dear Aaron Rodgers, try not to think about the fact that you are the first team to lose to the Bucs this year. Even the Bills beat them. | |
 |
17 | 16 | 1-4 since 3-0, it’s just not New York’s year in the NFL. | |
 |
18 | 21 | Their best running back and receiver both have three names. It’s time to get a three named quarterback. John David Booty anyone? | |
 |
19 | 20 | Tommie Harris did his best LaGarrette Blount imitation. And that’s not a good thing. | |
 |
20 | 19 | The team may hope that Chad Henne is going to be the next Tom Brady, but I’d love to see Pat White take more snaps in there. | |
 |
21 | 17 | Just as I thought, the Niners are a bigger disappointment than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. | |
 |
22 | 22 | Yahoo Sports has the Panthers losing 28-20 to the Falcons on their schedule. They must be fortune tellers because the game won’t be played until this weekend. | |
 |
23 | 23 | With Terrell Owens hurt, is it time for the James Hardy boat to finally land in Buffalo? | |
 |
24 | 25 | What are the odds on the Titans finishing 10-6? | |
 |
25 | 24 | Time for T.J. Howsyourmama to earn that free agent contract. | |
 |
26 | 26 | Who will have more wins when the Raiders face the ‘Skins on December 13th? The real winner will be the people who don’t watch that game. | |
 |
27 | 27 | The Redskins have hit a new low with their on field skirmishes with the Falcons. | |
 |
T-32 | 28 | The Rams are the first blah team in the five team tie for worst team in the NFL | |
 |
T-32 | 29 | Wow it’s got to hurt to lose the Rams and Seahawks in successive weeks. | |
 |
T-32 | 30 | Bye bye Mr. Larry Johnson. Hello many more losses. | |
 |
T-32 | 32 | Awesome creamsicle uniforms = awesome win. | |
 |
T-32 | 31 | The Saints defense has only scored two fewer touchdowns than the Browns offense. |

Wait, James Hardy is still on the Bills’ roster?
Yea, they might activate him for this weekend if T.O. can’t play. Otherwise he’ll miss this whole year.
Wasn’t he a high draft pick last year? I thought he played fairly well for a rookie… didn’t understand why he disappeared this year.
I think he tore his ACL or another ligament toward the end of last season.
