By The Pigskin Of Our Teeth, Week 6: Get With This Or Get With That

Man, I was all ready to play the Bill Simmons Movie Quote Game and give "Fuck pride. Pride only hurts. It never helps" to Jerry Rice but then he got traded.

YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE at The Really Big Bank in Philadelphia, P-A. REVENGE THE TIME IS NOW. Actually, this really wasn't all that interesting outside of Jake taking that hit and coming completely unglued. The Sheppard interception runback was everything a good run aspires to be.

Yeah, the Chargers can't keep giving away games like this. Vick right now is in that Randall Cunningham "make five big plays and we'll win" phase.

Hey, look, Clinton Portis is back. Are these the two worst starting quarterbacks in the league right now? And do either of these teams play Arizona this year? I'd just like to point out that I was right about Kelly Holcomb last year, and it looks like I'm going to be right about Brunell this year, too.

The Dolphins will win the rematch because the Bills aren't really any better and Bledsoe won't be starting by then.

This proved that Favre's like a vampire - if you're gonna put him down, you need to put him ALL THE WAY DOWN.

If nothing else, the Seahawks'll be used to the crappy weather. This is a bad spot for them, especially after last week. They're not winning this game. They're not winning this game. CLANG! Let's re-think that. Did Johnson catch that? I'm not sure. I demand multiple shots of Bridget up in the skybox. And why bother with that last play? You'll still LOSE.

So much for the Titans' bounce-back.

It sucks about Gannon, but it wouldn't make a difference... the Raiders just aren't very good.

Meet the new Steelers, same as... the OLD Steelers? The "Duuuuuuce" chant was bigger in Dallas than it was in Pittsburgh. Get with the program already. It's not just that Ben's not making mistakes - he's actually playing well.

This Week's Game That Shouldn't Have Been This Close: 49ers-Jets OR Vikings-Saints.

Fantasy Report

aPaXFL: Scott Christ beat me, and there wasn't a whole lot I could have done about it, what with bye weeks and all. Holt made it close on Monday night, though. I dropped to 4-2, and Wade is next. Brad Johnson wasn't traded, so he's gone.

tSC: Another nail-biter, this time with Butch. The Rams' four takeaways on Monday night (and the irony of us having the opposing defenses) allowed me to hold him off despite getting virtually nothing from Bruce and absolutely nothing from L.J. Smith. 5-1. First place. It's a celebration, bitches. (Rob beat Hawley by about .5 - he didn't realize the Colts were off this week.)
