By The Pigskin Of Our Teeth, Week 7: Bury Me Deep, I'm Cold and Clammy

YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE at... damn, they scored ALREADY? That was quick. "T.O. has B.O."? WEAK. I expect better from Browns fans. Which team is more schizophrenic - the Browns or the Rams? What's happening here is that the Browns are running the ball to stay in the game so they can keep running the ball. To the Eagles' credit, they were a lot better about stopping them in the second half. How in the blue hell is that roughing the passer? Suggs backing into him did more damage. Hey, wait a minute... there's nobody on the left side of the field. And THAT, friends, is why they're the best road team in football.

Never mind that schizophrenic question... it's obviously the Rams. Maybe the Dolphins should just run nothing BUT trick plays. We know the conventional approach hasn't worked.

Oh, great. A Deion highlight. *vomits*

One has to wonder what Vick did on the flight to Kansas City without any teammates to talk to. Sweet fancy Moses. Those eight (and nothing but) rushing touchdowns? Never happened before - a fact that really isn't that surprising.

The Chargers are a game back with a quarterback they don't want. I find this funny for some reason.

MKD IN THE HOUUUUUUUUSE! So we can blame him, then, for this, I guess. We've got balls and flags flying around like it's nobody's business. Did the Colts even have the ball in the third quarter? Uh, it was on camera, Reggie. Don't tell us it didn't happen. And all of a sudden the Jags are in first place. How did this happen?

Really, Who Gives A Rat's Ass?: Bears-Bucs.

WE HAVE COME TO AVENGE OUR PINSTRIPED BROTHERS IN ARMS. 5-0 vs. 5-0 hasn't happened in 21 years. Is there still bad blood over the Parcells thing or is that over with finally? And then after halftime everything stopped. No, we're Ok with seven points, thank you very much. Pennington should've looked off Chrebet at the end. This team isn't losing until Week 11. OF 2005.

Have the Cowboys really never won on the Frozen Tundra? I thought their defense was supposed to be a strength. Sherman's been calling most of the plays the last two weeks and they've scored 72 points.

This Week It Sucks To Be: Tim Couch. What a fall, huh? From being the top overall pick and dating Heather Kozar to being told by the Bears, "Yeah, we'd rather not, actually."

If nothing else, Johnny, "I'd also like to remind everyone to be careful of flying pundits as they jump off our bandwagon" is an early favorite for Line Of The Year.

FIFTEEN YEARS. Not a peep from a humbled Chad this week, then he embarrasses Champ twice. Are the Bengals winning this game? Save the one pick by Champ, Palmer's looked sharp tonight. And that "Marvin Night Football" sign isn't getting topped on artistic merit this year or next, so don't even bother. Maybe the Bengals should only play night games.

FANTASY REPORT:

tSC
: The train continues to roll as the Saboteurs beat up on Tyler. 6-1 and tied with Johnny, of all people, for first.

XFLaPa: Balance has been the key for me. Five double-digit efforts helped me beat Wade and move to 5-2.
