If this week didn't emphasize the fact that there aren't any real "great" teams in the NFL anymore, I don't know what will. I sense a lot of shuffling in my rankings. Let's find out.
32. Arizona Cardinals (1-6) (31, L @OAK) - We have a new champion of suck. All the entertaining Dennis Green press conferences in the world won't save his job if this keeps up.
31. Oakland Raiders (1-5) (32, W ARI) - Maybe they can get above #30? Nahhhh.
30. Miami Dolphins (1-6) (29, L GB) - What the
If the last hour didn't happen, this week would have been pathetic for football. The Bears' comeback puts it up a notch to just plain bad. Will this drop them from their perch at #1? Let's find out.
Starting with #32 (Gee, guess who that is?): (Record/Position last week/Last game result)
32. Oakland Raiders (0-5, 32, L @DEN) - 11 to go.
31. Arizona Cardinals (1-5, 26, L CHI) - *Insert assorted choking and gagging noises here*. Matt Leinart looks like he could be something, but
Here's one man's look at the 32 NFL teams and how they stack up (w/scattered pithy comments at no extra cost to you). Let's see how long I can stick with this.
Starting from the bottom:
32. Oakland Raiders (0-4) - They are at the quarter-pole to history. I don't think this team has ANY redeeming qualities.
31. Detroit Lions (0-5) - Finding new ways to lose every week, the latest being Jon Kitna's two turnovers leading to touchdowns in the 4th to blow a 17-3 lead.
30. Tampa Bay Bu
KKK isn't the only one that can make wild stabs in the dark when it comes to the upcoming NFL season.
AFC East
Order of Finish:
New England
Miami (WC)
Buffalo
New York Jets
Thoughts: Miami's improved under Nick Sabin, I'll give you that...but I'm not quite ready to pull the plug on New England's division title hopes like a lot of pundits are. Miami's going to win 8+ games this year, but lest we forget, Dante Culpepper SUCKED last year before his knee injury (4 TDs to 8
- I am not watching another Red Sox/Yankees game for the rest of the season after last night's record setting debacle. The fans would like you to believe that this is two teams playing each other at their best when in reality you get 4 hour snoozefests with 30 pitch at-bats and the occasional big play. And now that the bullpens will be running on fumes this weekend, it doesn't look pretty.
- Reason #2132 I hate progress: I went up to Saratoga Springs, New York last weekend for a little va
Remember Ken Jennings? The guy that cleaned up on Jeopardy!? Apparently him writing a funny, wiseass, tongue-in-cheek "Dear Jeopardy" letter on his blog is "biting the hand that feeds him".
This is why I didn't get into journalism.
BTW, Ken's blog is actually pretty damn funny.
Tonight, my beloved Playstation 2 of almost 5 years finally gave out on me. Can I have a moment of silence, please? I'll get one of the Slim PS2s to replace it, but it just won't be the same.

Is it just me, or do the people that networks send out in the middle of major storms to stand there and say "Wow, it's pretty bad out here" deserve to be swept out to sea or have a tree fall on them? I saw a bit of CNN's coverage today and saw Anderson Cooper almost get run down by some debris and NOT ONCE did I hear him say "Hey, I think we should head for some shelter."
A hurricane has a lot of wind and rain and you shouldn't be caught in it....we get it. There will be plenty of time

Satellite News is holding a poll to see what episodes fans would like on future DVD collections. All the eps that aren't on DVD are listed, so I guess they are confident that they will be able to get any of the most popular ones. For the record, my choices are:
212: GODZILLA VS. MEGALON (the one with Jet Jaguar. I saw the movie on Sci-Fi a few weeks ago)
306: TIME OF THE APES (A Japanese version of "Planet of the Apes"? I'm THERE)
610: THE VIOLE
