(And yes, our theme for this season will be Classic Album Titles And Variations Thereof.)

Apparently Chad's new gimmick is killing them with kindness. And you gotta like that he works fast. Daunte looks all kinds of lost here. It's like he's reverting to a previous incarnation of himself. The Bengals are just making it look easy. I'm sure the team chemistry is fine, Butch... they're just playing like utter crap.
Why is Derek Smith running his mouth? Don't make T.O. angry. You won't like him when he's angry. See? Oh my. Oh dear Lord. Remember the Green Bay game last year? This is worse. It's almost as if Donovan plays better when he's hurt -- remember a few years ago when he broke his ankle and went like 20 for 25? Simoneau kicking the extra point got the biggest cheer of all. I imagine fathers in the Bay Area are telling their young sons, "You know, it wasn't always like this." Now Koy Detmer's lighting them up? Are you shitting me? Hey, a Mike McMahon sighting. Is that The Original Alex Smith? And is it wise to bring him in against a defense that might physically kill him if the opportunity presents itself?
Hey, what do you know; Anthony Wright blows, too. That offensive line is not what it was and neither is Jamal. They should be running over the Titans here. Over/under on when Len Pasquarelli's first "Will somebody PLEASE sign Jeff George?" column appears: Five days.
The Jags played the Colts tough last year... let's see what happens. Didn't we go through this last week? This may be the worst game Peyton's ever had since he stopped throwing four interceptions every week. Ran Carthon? Maurice's SON? Holy crap, I'm old. (Although is there really a better name for an ex-running back to give his kid?) If the Colts, who are currently what the Ravens used to be, turn back into the Colts, that's a bad thing for the rest of the league. You have to at least consider throwing a flag there at the end, right?
No mention of Vrabel's fakeout after the interception return? And why didn't Belichick challenge the Davis touchdown? That wasn't even close.
Thirty-eight points? The Bears? You're kidding me, right?
This Week It Sucks To Be: 1. Kurt Warner; 2. (tie) Joey Harrington/Daunte Culpepper; 4. A Ravens offensive lineman; 5. J.P. Losman (for running out the back of the end zone)
When Trent Dilfer's lighting you up, you've got problems. Why aren't the Packers running the ball? Yeah, good coverage there. That may actually be one more win than I thought they'd get all year.
Line Of The Week: "I think I'm third all-time on his sack list." -Dilfer, on Reggie White
Is that a Ron Dayne sighting? And if Marty hasn't tried to burn that place to the ground by now...
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what makes them the Arizona Cardinals.
This Week's Game That Shouldn't Have Been This Close: Dolphins-Jets. When the baseball team goes on to double your score, there's a problem. Nice to see them finally get around to electroshocking Pennington before the game ended.
What are the odds of both teams having starting wide receivers that wear No. 18? Seriously. Woodson just picked that guy's pocket clean. Nice catch, juke and run by Randy there. You know, that may be the first time Moss got called for pushing off when he actually didn't.
The Giants haven't let Deuce do anything tonight... they might turn out to be the team that ends up being better than everybody expects. And Haslett really needs to stop whining... the real "competitive disadvantage" is him as the head coach.
Patrick Ramsey's been screwed so many times he should just go ahead and change his last name to Phillips. Was that the same play? The same guys got owned regardless. This should never have happened. On the one hand, who doesn't love seeing the Cowboys choke? On the other hand, the Redskins won.
FANTASY REPORT
aPa SmackDown!: We looked it up -- last week's total was the lowest the Seagulls have ever had in a win (there was a trouncing last year at the hands of Johnny, I believe, where we only scored 38 points) This week, a tough loss to Doom, 55.90-53.48. Harrison and Wayne combined didn't score four points. Weeba is next.
JackSux: The game between Jen and I was a lot closer after Sunday night... I actually glanced at the score briefly and thought I was losing, but I wasn't. Tiki's big game on Monday night gave me some breathing room. Gates is next.
