No one will come watch the Bucs play at Ray-Jay, so they’re taking the show to the desert.  Careful Bucs fans—I’ll start the rumor mill: Magic Johnson wants to speerhead the effort to bring an NFL franchise back to L.A.  The Glazers selling to Magic Johnson et al?  Well at least in L.A. they’d have a crowd on hand.  I’m just sayin’

I have to be honest: I’m totally sick of the Brett Favre coverage.  Watch the game tomorrow.  Brett will start.  Tavaris may finish.  And that might be the end of Brett’s starting streak.  Anyone want to wager?

Don’t write the Cowboys off yet.  Jon Kitna to Roy Williams.  Look it up. 

Vincent Jackson is back in San Diego.  Sort of.  Maybe he will be in three weeks after serving his suspension—for stupidity.  My question: Do his teammates want him in the line-up?  Or, better still, with Norv Turner at the helm, does it matter?

Oh and we’re dropping another love-in on England.  The 49ers and the Broncos?  They’ll be asking us to send UFL teams next year.  Hey, is that team that Maurice Clarrett plays for available?

I know, get to the picks!  I’m a day late and a dollar short, but these picks and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee at McDonalds.  Bengals over Dolphins, Cowboys over Jaguars (Kitna to Williams, I tell you!), Lions over Redskins, Chiefs over Bills, Rams over Panthers, Jets over Packers, Broncos over Niners (Cheerio!), Chargers over Titans, Bucs over Cardinals, Pats over Vikings, Seahawks over Raiders, Steelers over Saints, Colts over Texans
