Signal Finder: PHI @ NO, HOU @ DAL (ew), TEN @ WSH, CIN @ TB (end), KC @ PIT, MIA @ NYJ
I was gonna ask if the Saints got the same new indoor grass that the Falcons did but it's plainly obvious. Joe Horn lives! It's the beginning of the Houston game again, isn't it? One thing I'm noticing about the Saints that's going to be a problem down the road is their issues with downfield coverage. The Eagles' receivers get open downfield and they just run wild. Like the Brown touchdown. And the Schobel catch. And a couple by Smith. Hey, how about some pass blocking? WTF Michael Lewis. First the Terry Glenn deal last week and now you bite on a double move that Lito picked up on three plays before? Who are you, Roy Williams? Why are there 12 men on the field? Wow, Johnson's pissed. And rightly so. I'm not as mad about this loss as a lot of people are. Is something wrong with me? As for the Saints, it's amazing what a difference having a coach and quarterback with actual football intelligence makes.
If T.O. had a crap game this week he'll end up leading the nightly news in the bad way. Why is Houston ahead? At any point? Ah, that's ... I don't want to say 'better', but order's been restored.
Dare I say it ... Boller looked better than McNair has.
I don't get showing the highlights from every Bucs late-game collapse this year when the Bengals have no time left. Oh, and has Chad forgotten where the end zone is? This is getting ridiculous. Does Marvin actually think this is going to work?
Would it be inappropriate to say that the Chiefs haven't stopped anyone since Derrick Thomas died? I ask because I'm having trouble remembering the last time their defense was any good. Here's the best way to cure what ails Ben: Hand the ball off 50 times. That never happened to Ricky Williams, right? You'll note it's mostly defensive guys who have the long dreads hanging out of their helmets like that.
I think CBS has shown us all of their games now. Yeesh. Mare missed that badly. He's better than that. Must be those Meadowlands winds.
One of my colleagues is a Mets fan so we watched the baseball game. The Mets nearly outscored both teams. At least the Raiders covered.
Glendale is a 'developing suburb' that only has this and the hockey arena. I'm not convinced anyone actually lives there. WTF. WTF. Just when I get on the Grossman bandwagon he turns into Browning Nagle. Meanwhile, Leinart and Boldin are absolutely clowning the Bears. Is this happening? The Cardinals haven't been on MNF since 1999 and it shows. PROTECT THE FOOTBALL. Nice blocking on the Brown fumble TD. If they blow this... Man, Edge has run behind better lines in Pop Warner. And they're bringing Arrington in to spell him? Urlacher's been in on every defensive play for the Bears. Wow the Cardinals' running game is terrible. OMG. Does Hester have a position yet or is that all he does? I'd say "And that's what makes them the Arizona Cardinals" but this is devastating even for them. Edge: Most carries for fewest yards. Bears: Only team in NFL history to win after being down by 20 with no offensive touchdowns. Oh, and Green's postgame press conference meltdown is the new "PLAYOFFS?!"
Butch: "That was just ... special."
Nate: "TEAM OF DESTINY"
Johnny: "Pray for Cardinal Nation tonight."
FANTASY REPORT
USFLaPa (5-1, W5): We're in a three-way tie for first after beating Scott. LDT was huge again, as was Coles.
JackSux (2-4, L2): I had a .02 lead on Chris going into Monday night, so I basically needed a Bears shutout and Boldin to get in a car accident on the way to the game or something. Didn't happen. We're in a four-way tie for ... well, last despite having scored the third-most points in the league.
RANKINGS
TOP 3:
1. Chicago (6-0) - Bears don't look gift horse in the mouth

3. Denver (4-1) - Score points, please
BOTTOM 3:
30. Houston (1-4) - Ain't a damn thing changed
31. Miami (1-5) - I thought the AFC was the superior conference
32. Oakland (0-6) - Madden: "Sometimes you go to lick your fingers and there's nothing there."

You realize after the press conference last night I had to change your link name, right?
FORT WORTH, TEXAS, AP: The Saints may be the story of the NFL, but the story of the JackSux league this year is clear -
What happened to the Basketball?
Matt Spaulding's teams have been known for their dominating regular season performances and high scoring onslaughts. This year, the points have been there (3rd overall in points), but the W's have not as Speed. Hands. Vision have registered just 2 wins in 6 games.
League Commissioner and longtime owner of the current defending champion, Fort Worthless Yaks, Rob T, has no idea.
"I don't know. I have no idea. I think Gates may have stolen his lucky sock or something." the commish joked, referring to Chris Gates's Los Chuparacabras, who are off to a Gates-record 4-2 start.
"Whatever it is, we'd like to reassure the public we are keeping a VERY close eye on any medications the Basketball is taking. We will not have a repeat of this accidental overdose business."
Then the commissioner left, but not before passing out flyers for Butch Rosser's annual fire sale, scheduled for sometime in the next two weeks.
