So now I have to decide who to root for...the Giants with Eli or the hated Dallas Cowboys.  Urp. :rofl;
I am glad that YLGuy put some sense into you. Under no circumstances could even you have the thought going on in your head(except if the Bears were heading into the playoffs and one of the NFC North teams was tied with them and that team was playing the 'Boys then MAYBE)

Awww, why did they put Cutler back as QB. 4 int. and a fumble close to the goal line something needs to be change before the season gets any older and have a less of chance to get to the playoffs. I'm hoping somebody seen the game and comment. I am frustrated with the team.  >:D >:D >:D

Bears v 'Skins...geez, no one wanted to win that game.  We giggled through the whole thing.  It was just too weird.  I hope the Bears aren't gonna fob off the Bills because they very nearly beat Baltimore today.  And I bet les bon temps ne roulez pas in New Orleans coz de Browns done beat dem Saints.

Not NFL but it is football.  My son's team played a Pop Warner playoff game today.  The team they played won all of Orange County and all of the Western States Conference last year.  They went to Florida to play for the National Championship.  They lost last year.  Earlier this year they beat my son's team 28-0. 
My son's team scored first and it was 8-0.  The boys did a GREAT job. At the be4ginning of the 4th quarter the game was tied 8-8.  It was really bad.  The ref's flagged my son's team 7 times and had not thrown 1 flag against their opponents who had flagrant holding, PI and facemasks.  My son's team lost as the other team scored twice.  It was a great game.  I really wish the ref's were not so openly bias and let the boys win or lose.  My son's team was seeded 8th and the other team is seeded 1st.  The parents of the other team bought plane tix to Florida weeks ago which I think is pretty cocky.  They almost had to eat those tix.

Despite the loss, I bet you had a great day!  Congratulations to your son and his teammates for making the playoffs.  I hate it when the refs seem to enforce the rules so unevenly.   Still, I hope your son had lots of fun!  What position does he play?

I guess I have been seeing a lot of NYG games because everytime I turn around, I see Kevin Gilbride.  I actually have a Kevin Gilbride kidney story that may be of some interest to you.  Years ago when he was the Oilers' offensive coordinator (during the Warren Moon run and shoot era, along with Buddy Ryan as d coordinator), one of the offensive linemen had an offseason job as a life insurance salesman.  He convinced Kilbride to buy a policy, but first Kilbride had to have a physical.  They discovered that one of his kidneys was cancerous.  It was removed, and since the cancer had not spread past the kidney, he was OK.  He had had no symptoms, so he was lucky it was caught.  I loved the run and shoot...

The Giants very nearly lost that game...I think they took their foot off of the accelerator there at the end.  Don't know what's gonna happen to the 'Boys because Kitna looked disastrous.

Some interesting games this weekend...any thoughts on Steelers vs Saints?  Pressure is on the Saints, I think; they're at home and have something to prove.

Vikings vs NE...will Favre start or not?

Any thoughts on any other particular games?

Its Sunday, October 31, what game will you be watching.
Bears are at in its bye week afer they stunk up the feild last week, I am not giiving up on them as yet maybe with this week off they can regroup for next Sunday when they go play the Bills I hope they do something with Cutler.
Heres the ratings run down

Bears went from 11 to 13 with a 4-3 recprd. That was a disappointing loss against the skins'
Giants are at 8th place with a 5-2 record. Also thier bye week. Good game over the 'boys
Green Bay stays at 17 with a 4-3 record. They play the Jets today.
Texans are at 9th place  with a 4-2 record. Last week was their bye week.
Steelers are in 1st place in the ranking for the second week in a row with a 5-1 record. they play the Saints today. Anybody watching this game?
Viking are at 23rd with a 2-4 record. Oh Oh I think Brett Favre is out for the season with 2 fractures from last weeks game against Green Bay. Maybe he can retire at last.
And finally its the Cowboys with a ranking of 28 and a 1-5 record. Come on 'boys your suppose to ber 'Americas' team. What a loss to the Giants last week,

Oh man, the Cowboys suffered the ultimate humiliation.  I was flipping between their game and the Packers, and toward the end when I flipped back to the Cowboys, the network had already bumped them off and put on the Buffalo/KC game that went into overtime.  OUCH!

I'm sitting here watching Favre, and you may hate the whole saga, but you have to give it to him...the man's a football stud.  Forty one years old, broken bones in his ankle yet he not only STARTS at QB but nearly finishes the whole game before getting knocked out in the fouth quarter.  They're carting him off now, and he is not looking good at all.  I suspect his jaw is broken.

I will be absolutely glued to my seat watching Steelers v Saints.  Not a fan of Big Ben, but am also tired of the whole Saints saga.  I don't think they are that good this year. 

Very surprised that the Chargers are beating the Titans.  I hate the Titans...I hate Bud Adams.  And I'm not a VY van, either.  He thought he was entitled to be the Texans' QB for whatever reason.  Houston needed beefing up on D and STILL DO.  Don't see them beating the Colts, unfortunately.  Very schizophrenic team, the Texans.

O  Boswife, I will add the Chargers  in next weeks ratings. WOW, Farve played today with broken ankle and all, now that a football player. Some fans of football fans may that is pretty dumb playing hurt. I wonder if He would play the next game with a broken jaw, would He mumble plays during the game. And what about those Cowboys got slammed by the Jaguars 35-17. Finally the Texans, I hope they win on Monday night against the Colts. Well until next week when the Bears play the Bills. I hope Lovie has a long talk with Cutler or maybe he'll go with Collins. MM, have you got any thoughts who would you like to be the QB.

I think he's gotta go with Cutler.  Cutler didn't look too sharp last week, but he'll have had a bye week to get fitter after his concussion.  Plus, the Bears mortaged the franchise to get him, so you've got to use him.  He's very talented, but he does need more protection from the O line.  Also, they are playing the Bills, a relatively weak team, so it would be a good opportunity for Cutler to get in there and get sharper.

I am really shocked that the Saints beat the Steelers.  And the Jets losing...that was a surprise, too.

MM, is it true that the Bears are thinking of picking up Randy Moss. What have you been hearing on the Score. There might be some positives and negatives about the pickup. They say it might bring the other teams defense out because he is quicker/  I heard other comments that he may be toxic in the locker room after all the Patriots owner calles him a cancer on the team. Why did the Vikings let him go?.

You probably know by now that he was picked up by the Titans; the Bears passed on him.

I'm not entirely sure why the Vikings let him go, but there were two things that were prevalent in the news.  One was that he didn't seem to work very hard; I saw a play where Moss didn't seem to try to get to a long pass he probably could have caught.  It really did look like he slowed up.  But when I saw it in real time, I really thought that he pulled up because he was expecting to get a pass interference call against the defender.  And then in the postgame press conference, he was waxing rather lyrically over the Pats and how he really missed his ex-teammates.  Childress probably didn't like that too much.  But I don't know...sports talk is like a guy's version of The View!  Lots of gossip and yakking. :rofl;

And what would you call Fantasy Football??????  THERE'S a worthwhile endeavour! :rofl;

I don't know about NYC, but here in Chicagoland, there's a sportstalk duo on The Score whose show is in the afternoon, and I think there is more giggling than there is insight.  It's really funny.  I find myself giggling, too.  What I find particularly fascinating is the inordinate amount of time guys spend talkiing about how different players/coaches express emotion on the field, in interviews, in press conferences, in private, in public, in the locker room, etc.  There's quite a lot of psychoanalysis going on in sports talk...just like, uh, on The View.

You are killing me.  Yes, I am in a fantasy league but only with my 3 children.  We do it every year.  I am also in a pool that picks every NFL game. 

BTW, it IS a worthwhile endeavor.   :P

Oh, alright.  I'll confess.  I don't do fantasy football, but I am in a pool with 5 other people.  I'm tied for third place so far.  Very average.  I've learned not to put too much effort into it as guessing seems to be as good as any method of picking a winner.  Sometimes I pick the team that has the cutest QB.  I always pick the Cardinals because I love love love Larry Fitzgerald, and I always pick against the Cowboys because I think Tony Romo dumping Jessica Simpson via text message was just rotten (along with the 1000 other reasons I am not a Cowboys fan).

Actually, I need to make my picks now!
