Denver and Cincy for pre-Sunday games.

Fun show, but watching IRS and the Anvil in the battle royal made me eat a pint of ice cream.

Anybody think they show too much on the previews? I think they do it to create some red herrings, but still they could have done less is more. Once again, I will have to wait until Monday, but it looks like my gripe with the end of Season 1 could surface again in this year's finale.

They have a loyal owner and play in a division that each team has won since 2002. If Hall wants to stay they have Top 10 positional players at WR (White), TE and CB. There are lots of holes to fill but having 3 picks in the top 65 will make that easier. Call up Bill Cowher and give the man a blank check.

Fair call, and a fine probably can be justified, no suspension.

Bears and No.

I always hoped that the end of the second season would turn Dexter "heel", pardon the wrestling term. He was so conflicted after killing his brother and if Doakes was not a "bad person", Dexter would have to kill him out of necessity. After a selfish cure he becomes a true monster. I told my GF about halfway through "There's something about Harry" that they could have Dexter and Doakes in the cabin the last two episodes and it would be riveting TV. Great chemistry.

Only thing with Rawls was the comment on the bathroom stall in the police station.

Can't we just pin them on Lila and get her the F outta here? Do you think they go for definitive ending for season 2 or leave us with a cliffhanger?

Don't sleep on Ohio State not being able to stop WVU. Yes they struggled with the Juice, but I am guessing with 7 weeks to prepare (they probably are preparing for about 3 teams right now) they can be formidable against the spread. They have good enough athletes on defense to contain it. The funny thing is this year, every team has looked bad or at least shown big flaws in their losses. I would agree that Missouri is quite the enigma right now, but with potentially 2 high profile games that will change quickly.

My guess is that Dexter may end up doing the deed to Doakes and then Lundy and crew end up pinning it on Doakes. As of now they have narrowed the search down to a member of Miami Metro PD. Lundy knows it is Dexter, but cleans it up by putting it on Doakes and we have another "suicide" to end the season.

Damn my desire to stick to one medium! (I will not read the spoilers, I will not read the spoilers...), but seriously these first 5 episodes have been great.

Just found out about the Wisconsin-OSU game being on BTN. Huge coup for the station. But I believe this is the 5th game for Ohio State (counting the ESPNU game last year) not available. Good for BTN that they have the No. 1 team, but it will be a footnote by Monday. What was the big issue with ASU-Oregon?
