Hey Rah, time to put up. The ‘Best in the NFC’ distinction really is on the line tomorrow. At least in the NASCAR division.  Just to prove the point, Rah is resting three of our offensive starters.  Don’t need ‘em.  In fact, we’re going to start a D-Lineman at Fullback, a Center at Guard and a Guard at Center.  Why not?  Donald Penn is going back to return punts.  We’re fixin’ to show ‘em all.

Zigy Wilf—doesn’t that sound like the name of a cartoon character?  He’s the owner of the Minnesota Vikings.  They’re a cartoon football team.  Brett Favre is back from having his chin stitched.  Percy Harvin is hobbling, but that provided him with extra time to chew out Brad Childress.  Oh, and Zigy revealed that he was tossed between waiving Randy Moss or firing Brad Childress.  Let’s see… I say you go with both, Zigy.

Jerry Jones stated that Wade Phillips’ job is safe until the end of the season.  What’s the over/under on how many minutes after the final game Wade is sent packing?  I’m thinking before sun-up the next day.  Any takers?

So Randy Moss is in Tennessee now.  They’re on a bye week.  That worked out well.  The Titans are looking for a new caterer. 

Shawne Merriman landed in Buffalo.  He won’t be playing this weekend.  I believe that.  It would take me a week of stiff drinking to come to grips with the fact that I was a Buffalo Bill too.  Welcome to the CFL Shawne.

Logan Mankins is back with the Patriots.  Kiss, kiss, hug, hug.  Hey, if you help keep Tom Brady’s uniform clean, there’s no shortage of forgiveness.

And me?  No forgiveness here for PCs.  I spent the better part of this past week reformatting my harddrive due to a virus.  I’m done.  First chance I get, I’m buying a MAC.  Bet on it.

Speaking of bets, let’s get to the picks.  But don’t bet. Gambling is a sin.  Plus, if you’ve been going with my picks this season, you’re losing some serious money.  Lost my MOJO.  I’m like last year’s Bucs, I tell you.  But this year’s version—best in the NFC!  Here’s a go: Bucs over Falcons (going with my heart), Bears over Argonauts, Patriots over Browns, Jets over Lions, Saints over Panthers, Ravens over Dolphins, Texans over Chargers, Vikings over Cardinals, Giants over Seahawks, Eagles over Colts, Raiders over Chiefs, Pack over Cowboys (Phillips start packing), Steelers over Bengals.
