Only if that would happen.....then I could pick up some tickets for cheap.

WOOO! The battle of the epic suck!

GO RAMS! You have to win. After 1 - 15 is abysmal....but at least, its..not 0 - 16?
Yeah, you hit it Rushfan. Either way the Rams suck

That will definitely be "The Game of the Weak".

Or two weeks ago when Cleveland beat Buffalo 6 - 3.

Well my roomie will be excited about the NO/MIA game.

Personally, I am looking forward to/nervous about the Giants game.
Kurt Warner is no Drew Brees, but he is damn good and has quite an offense around him. If the Giants D is still banged up might be in for some problems.

Well Vikings finally go down.

Saints beat the Phins 46-34 with Brees running for 2 TD's?
How else can they destroy you?

Bengals win, and this is great news for me!  I missed my fantasy football draft, but didn't know they made up a team for you. I got Carson Palmer....5 TDS!

Yeah, Kyle Orton....far from spectacular and look at him now.
And BENSON! That guy was labeled a bust, and perhaps rightfully so....until this year he's beasted.

And this game the Giants have been blitzing again. I don't know why the hell they played so conservative last game, but they are bringing pressure today.

Yep, should be interesting, I can see all the favre dolls now

Well Larry Johnson has been banned from the Chiefs, (not sure how long) for using "anti-gay epithets" at his coach.

Clearly unhappy with them for years, struggling, and a severe beating physically maybe this will be the end of his career. 

Pretty sad. Always liked LJ and he had those 2 great years but then the Chiefs O-Line went to sh*t, his career went with it, he's gotten beat up a lot (and some of his own created problems like the contract dispute).
But hey, must be rough for any player to be on a terrible team. Especially when used to big success.

I'm curious why people hate Favre so much.  Even when he wasn't a Viking, I always enjoyed watching him play for the Pack.  I thought he was driven and had some spark.  And he is still playing with a lot of intensity this year, rather than just coasting for a check.  I realize the whole retirement thing seemed ridiculous, but I don't understand the visceral hatred some people have for the guy.

Is he really so much more egotistical or cocky than ANY other NFL star?

I mean, he's no Joe Montana, but still...
