View Finder: CIN @ PIT, DAL @ NYG, DEN @ KC
What's that thing on Ben's hand? Have you ever heard of a chronically injured thumb before? It's a parade of interceptions here right now and Ben doesn't look good. Pittsburgh's corners cannot cover the Bengals' receivers. Did Ward get there? Yes! ICKEY SHUFFLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm stunned that Ward beat Chad to it. These kids today, no sense of history. David Pollack lives! I think Carson's officially broken the Heisman quarterback curse. What's happened to the Steelers?
I have zero faith in Mike Tice's ability to not screw this up.
I'm against the Giants' red jerseys. Strahan looks like he's wearing a rubber suit. Okay, that guy's either offside or really really REALLY quick... Bledsoe almost handed him the ball. Who knew Terry Glenn being shut out would hurt the Cowboys' offense so much? They're running out of corners, too, even though they keep intercepting Eli. Oh dear Lord. Feely may not make another field goal this season. At least that one didn't end up meaning anything.
Odd that the Falcons are just now getting around to playing the Panthers. I'm leaning towards "against" on the baby-wipe celebration. Did somebody from Carolina steal Tampa Bay's Falcons game tapes? Because this is pretty much how the Bucs stop Vick and he's owned the Panthers in recent years. Hey, wait a minute! That's why those cheerleaders were down in Tampa! I've cracked the case.
Sage Rosenfels? You're kidding me, right?
This may be the day the Bears end their 56-game losing streak against Favre or whatever it is. That's gotta be heartbreaking, to run an interception back that far and not score. The 95 yards would be more than the 68 or so Orton threw for. Ouch! Is that an Aaron Rodgers sighting? It probably should have been.
The Broncos are MOTIVATED. The Chiefs are DESPERATE. And nobody bothered to cover Hall on that long touchdown catch. By the same token, you'd think somebody on the Chiefs would have noticed Plummer split out wide and said, "Hey, isn't 16 usually... over there?" Shanahan's been running that play for years. I thought they were gonna throw it to him until the ball was snapped and he made no attempt to even fake running a route. Nice save, Trent. Will someone please explain to Lynch you can't lead with your helmet? And while you're at it, tell him to shut up before he gets tossed (and I'm mildly surprised he didn't) Larry Johnson was massive in this game. How about this seuqence: The Broncos go for it on fourth down and they get it, they call time out, the Chiefs challenge it (and rightly so -- Anderson wasn't even close), get the call overturned, the officials reset the game clock to 2:01, and then Shanahan lobbies for his time out back and gets it.
Between last week's Haslett remark and that B.S. he spewed last night about how Moss is a better teammate than T.O., Theismann's really starting to piss me off. So that's where Michael Turner ended up. Well, at least the Raiders... didn't get penalized? Baby steps.
Completely Unrelated Aside: And that's what makes them the Duke Blue Devils.
REG-GIE! REG-GIE! REG-GIE! Inclement weather~~~~ I took Monday night off months in advance. I figured the Eagles are playing, could be a big game, I'll get to actually see Raw during the commercials... and I get this? It's clearly a sign from above. So that's where Andre Dyson ended up. I think Stephanie McMahon could have played quarterback better than Mike McMahon did tonight. Y'know, Randall's here... can we get him a uniform or something? Reggie's turning over in his grave. What? That was in poor taste? So was this game. Shut your mouth.
FANTASY REPORT
aPa SmackDown! (8-5, W3, 5th seed): Edged A Football God 75-70, but couldn't get out of the 5 spot. I'm stuck with Weeba in the first round of the playoffs, and he waxed me in Week 3 and has Tomlinson, so I'm pretty much toast.
JackSux (10-3, W2, 1st seed): Won my season finale by two points. Rob made it a six-team playoff this year instead of the absurd eight, so I get a bye into the semis, which is a Good Thing as I would've had a lot of bad matchups this week.
RANKINGS:
TOP 3:
1. Indianapolis (12-0) - Next!
2. Cincinnati (9-3) - Bungles no more
3. (tie) Denver (9-3) - Problems at Arrowhead continue

30. San Francisco (2-10) - Got swept by the Cardinals
31. Green Bay (2-10) - Someone please tell Favre it's over
