What is it with Tight-Ends and over-exposure this season.  I saw the oops coverage on Fox.  Did anyone else notice that it was only the Tight-End who was undressed.  Everyone else in the whole scene was fully clothed.  What is it with Tight-Ends and being naked?  Chris Cooley?  Vishante Shiancoe?  I’m worried that Mike Ditka is next; old Tight-Ends coming out of the woodwork to get their 15 minutes of internet virility. 

In this week’s cache of Owners-Gone-Wild news, on Sunday night after the ‘Boys lost to Pittsburgh, Jerry Jones questioned whether Marion Barber could have played.  Now today he’s come out to clarify.  He really meant to say that Marion Barber could have played last weekend.  Do you see how what he said was twisted all around?  What’s priceless about it is that in his clarifying remarks he stated how tough Marion Barber is by saying, “You’d have to shoot him to keep him off the football field”.  I’m wondering how the Giants - who just happen to be on the Cowboys schedule for this weekend - liked that comment.

The Redskins had a little pow-wow this week.  Runs-His-Mouth-Alot, aka Clinton Portis, had some choice (and public) words for Walks-With-Headset, aka Jim Zorn.  They evidently sparked up a peace-pipe, or at least met under some mistletoe, because love has returned to the Redskin sideline.  Says Runs-His-Mouth-Alot now: “I’m cool with him”.  Headset: “He’s a passionate guy.”  Glad neither one of them are Tight-Ends.

The coaching rumor mill is at full speed.  Marty Schottenheimer is rumored to be on Cleveland’s radar again.  Romeo Crennel says he knows nothing.  Well… duh!  Then there are the persistent Bill Cowher rumors.  Bill has been connected in rumor with almost every struggling NFL team, except Oakland.  Imagine that.  Nobody wants that job except Jim Fassel.  And Al Davis.  Meanwhile, Mike Singletary is making a case to have the Interim tag removed from his title.  Jim Haslett hasn’t.  Oh, and have you heard?  Monte Kiffin is supposed to be leaving the Bucs for the University of Tennessee?  No, really. 

Thoughts on ex-Buc/TV analysts.  Keyshawn Johnson was speaking well of Jon Gruden on Fox’s pregame show last weekend.  Mistletoe, I’m telling you.  Trent Dilfer was likely wiped off of Antonio Bryant’s Christmas list.  I’m interested to see Trent’s response to Antonio’s remarks.  Can’t we all just get along? 

As much fun as this is, it is time to get down to business.  Picked it up a bit last week, no doubt you noticed.  Much more to do.  Here are my ‘keep-your-clothes-on-Ditka, what-does-Trent-Dilfer-know-anyhow’ picks for week fifteen: Bears over Saints; Bucs over Falcons; Steelers over Ravens; Panthers over Broncos; Redskins over Bengals; Titans over Texans; Colts over Lions; Packers over Jaguars; Chargers over Chiefs; Dolphins over 49ers; Jets over Bills; Seahawks over Rams; Cardinals over Vikings; Patriots over Raiders; Giants over Cowboys; Eagles over Browns
