My pick for the day:

Lions suck.

0	No way San Fran or the Rams come close in those games. No need to be worried there. And San Diego has proven to be less than stellar, Colts will pull it off. I don't know what other ones your seeing, of course your probably still on the Cardinals cock.

11/23/08

0	At least the first 3 are games that could go either way. I hear you 100% on Vikes/Jags.

11/23/08

1	Holy crap, Ed Werder is reporting on a game that DOESN'T feature the Cowboys!?!?!?! The Apocalypse has arrived.

11/23/08

0	No Gus Johnson this week. Disappointing.

11/23/08

Noah_Hurrle

0	I need the Phins and the Phillies to win 4 the Dolphins Wild Card spot

11/23/08

0	VIkings score, Brad Meester didn't realize Garrard was in shotgun, yikes!

11/23/08

Noah_Hurrle

0	Awesome, Matt Forte is on my fantasy team

11/23/08

0	Bears up 7-0 already. Vikings up 14-0. Joy. Jets on the board as well.

11/23/08

0	The Lions cruelly tease their fans again by taking another early lead.

11/23/08

I think he's solid doing football, although not nearly what he is for basketball. He's still better then half of the Fox guys. Unfortunately, he's with CBS. I'd put him over Ian Eagle's crew, and probably 3 or 4 of the Fox crews.

One guy I think is VERY under-rated, Matt Vasgersian. It's a shame he's always stuck with the Lions or some other crappy game.

And I'm STILL trying to figure out how Buck/Aikman got sent to Dallas instead of NYG/ARI.

0	Hey Cowboy fans, anybody want to argue that wasn't pass interference? Should be first and goal at the one but at least we got 3. 3-0 Niners

11/23/08

0	Punt return for a TD. 14-0 Lions.

11/23/08

0	LOL Titans/Jets. "Let's go to James Brown with a gamebreak." (Dead air for 10 seconds)

11/23/08

0	That's just so cruel, because we know they'll blow it somehow.

11/23/08

0	LOL! Well played Dolphins Stadium with use of the Price is Right losing horns.

11/23/08

0	It begins...TD Tampa

11/23/08

0	Horrible coverage begats a big touchdown pass. In a perverse way, this is the most fascinating game of the day.

11/23/08

0	Interception Ronde Barber. Wheels, they are falling off.

11/23/08

0	Touchdown the very next play. 21-17 Bucs.

11/23/08

1	And now the Buccaneers lead. Only the Lions could blow a 3 possession lead in a quarter.

11/23/08

0	The way the Eagles and Ravens defenses are playing, this could be a 3-3, maybe even 0-0 tie lol.

11/23/08

0	Good thing all of the best teams get a chance to be the champ....OH WAIT...

11/23/08

donm454

0	OK nevermind. Way to go guys! When does baseball start?

11/23/08

0	Punt return touchdown for Tampa. 28-17.

11/23/08

0	If Tennessee's offense doesn't wake up soon, the 11-0 vs. 0-11 Thanksgiving dream is in big trouble.

11/23/08

0	20-3 Jets. Goodbye unbeaten season.

11/23/08

11/23/08

0	The Lions recovered a fumble, and it looked like they might finally catch a break. Two plays later, Ronde Barber interception taken to the house. 35-17. Culpepper has been pulled for Drew Stanton.

0	Gotta love the NFL. The Broncos destroyed the Raiders in week 1 in Oakland, 41-14. 10-3 Raiders at half in Denver.

11/23/08

0	The Cards are doing the free kick thing after a fair catch. I've always wanted to see this actually happen.

11/23/08

2	Well that was a let down.

0	Wow, Denver forgot to show up today. They should be glad that division sucks so hard, they can probably go 8-8 and win it.

11/23/08

0	JaMarcus Russell is 10 of 11 today. I can't imagine that the Bronco's secondary sucks that much, so I'm going to say he must have gotten extremely lucky on some of those passes.

11/23/08

0	Before 3 drives ago, the Raiders didn't have an offensive TD since week 8, over 200 plays. The last 3 drives, 3 offensive TD. Darren McFadden's having a huge game.

0	Falcons/Panthers game sure seems exciting, nice 4th and goal play by Micheal Turner for a 31-21 lead.

11/23/08

0	(Edited by kantwistaye) Remember at the begining of the season when keeping Kevin Boss and trading Shockey looked like the wrong move? Not so much anymore.

11/23/08

0	With 1:28 left and down 3, the Seahawks recovered a fumble. The very next play, Hasselbeck throws the game ending pick. It really sucks to be a Seattle fan right now.

11/23/08

0	Damn you Fox get to the freakin BCS standing already. I don't need to hear Terry screaming like an idiot.

11/23/08

0	Well Renegade, we split our differences. Told ya the Cardinals would lose. Although they did better than I thought they did, I still don't see them doing squat come playoff time.

0	kantwistaye wrote: Wow... that Texas/Oklahoma rating will be incredibly tight next week if the Sooners beat Oklahoma St. It is already at .08, beating Ok. St next week puts OU above Texas. Now Florida St. needs to beat Florida then Florida needs to beat Bama so OU and Texas can matchup in the BCS Title game.

Probably will, which isn't going to make the Longhorn fans too happy next week. Granted, Oklahoma might deserve it because of their non-conference wins over Cincy and TCU.

Head on over to burntorangenation.com, they were already spinning it last night at about halftime of the OU/Tech game. Basically their argument is OU played two really bad non conference teams, lost to Texas on a neutral site, didn't beat Missouri, and ran the score up on Tech.

Basically the Big 12's big four have all won the games against each other at home. If OU goes into Stillwater and beats OSU, it would be the only game the road team won which I personally think should be the trump card over Texas since their best true road game win was Kansas.

But with Texas playing A&M and OU playing OSU, running up the score is greatly encouraged against the hated instate rival.

Yeah. The last season 2 years ago was alright, but you could tell the quality was lacking. I think Redemption will be good, but I'm worried for the season at the whole. Just don't want to see what was a fantastic show fall apart.

I remember it happening to That 70's Show a few years ago. Sometimes you should just call it quits a season sooner. Hopefully they prove me wrong.
