Minnesota - 24 (who the heck knows) Baltimore (4.5) at Tennessee Buffalo at Tampa Bay (2.5) Detroit (1.5) at Chicago Jacksonville at Indianapolis (9.5) Minnesota at Cincinnati (3.5) New England (3.5) at Carolina N.Y. Giants (.5) at New Orleans Pittsburgh (6.5) at Houston San Francisco at Philadelphia (13.5) Atlanta at Seattle (1.5) St. Louis at Arizona (1.5) Cleveland at Green Bay (6.5) Miami at N.Y. Jets (6.5) San Diego at Denver (2.5) Kansas City (1.5) at Oakland Washington at Dallas (5.5)

I don't know about that. (ShutUp)Flo ruined her season for me, and the Chip/Reichen season I barely watched. Colin was so great in retrospect. Him and the Ox, with his girlfriend making sarcastic comments on the side, that was gold.

Hah hah, oh, man. He looks crazy and fights with paper. If Three Kingdoms has taught me anything, it's that Taoists are evil/crazy and simply shouldn't be messed with. Yet they are continually screwed with... poor Sun Ce. I've done Ling Tong's and Zhang Liao's story modes so far. I'm surprised how they've simplified Liao this time around. He's been to reduced to little more than "GRRR ZHANG LIAO POWER LOYALTY STRENGTH ><", with a little Lu Bu worship thrown in for good measure. Pathetic, considering he was a lot cooler and more thoughtful than that. I'm doing Xiahou Dun's next, and/but I can't go to sleep tonight until I do Zhang He's story mode. Sima Yi sounds like a jackoff. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So as a massive DW fan, I should purchase DW5?

What the hell kind of league has Fitz on waivers?

ESPN radio is just doing highlights. Someone please to be helping me.

Speaking of which, is there a decent online Play by Play of the night game? I refuse to listen to the ESPN crew.

What the hell happened. How did Denver lose? How did the Rams lose (ok, probably Mike Martz's fault there, that useless loser)? How did the Vikes lose? Also, at the very least I was able to see the hilariously inept Green Bay Packers. Fun times.

Meh, we all knew the Raiders O would be solid. Let's see how their D fares against the Pats over 4 quarters.

The Jets and Jags have decent defenses. The Browns do not. I'd go with Palmer. Though you probably didn't draft Trent Green so he could sit on your bench.

So who else has absolute crap on TV this week? I get Denver/Miami (ugh), Seattle/Jacksonville (interesting), and Detroit/GB. Not exactly the pick of the litter. Why would Denver/Miami be shown anywhere outside of Denver or Miami? It makes no sense.

Vikings - 30 points Oakland at New England (7.5) Chicago at Washington (6.5) Cincinnati (3.5) at Cleveland Denver (4.5) at Miami Houston at Buffalo (4.5) New Orleans at Carolina (6.5) N.Y. Jets at Kansas City (3.5) Seattle at Jacksonville (3.5) Tampa at Minnesota (6.5) Tennessee at Pittsburgh (6.5) Arizona at N.Y. Giants (1.5) Dallas at San Diego (4.5) Green Bay at Detroit (2.5) St. Louis (4.5) at San Francisco Indianapolis (3.5) at Baltimore Philadelphia (1.5) at Atlanta - nl5, TO isn't really overrated. He actually is one of the best WRs in the game. Vick probably isn't top 5 at QB, maybe not even top 10, yet he's treated like more of a star than Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. Vick should win the overrated battle in a landslide.

I was actually thinking about that when I was looking at his profile on nhl.com. I would have to say no because if you let him in, you pretty much have to let every point per game player in. He never did anything breath taking, he just had a solid career. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But they let in Lafontaine, so now they have to let in guys like Damphousse/Turgeon etc.

So anyone trying to just sign him next year will have to give up several picks. The Panthers should be able to get something decent for him next year, a pick and a solid player/prospects.

I'd take 6 minute matches and a steady salary over 30 minute spotfests with a huge injury risk and a nothing salary.

Don't the Rangers have enough money to go after Luongo next season? Maybe that silly Sather will make a decent FA pickup. Is Luongo unrestricted next year, or still restricted?

I just don't see the appeal of this game. Why not just get a real dog?

Fuck SMT:N. Fuck that bastard Matador too.

What teams don't have a young guy or an aging vet on the blue line? I can't think of any teams with 6 solid defenseman, except maybe Calgary. Philly?

Smilin Henry Burress played in the NFL? Good for him.

I think the clear winner for MFUFO has got to be the Cardinals. They were so terrible for so long. Arizona was the place to go for your career to die (Emmitt Smith), and has produced several losers who have gone on to stink up the league elsewhere (Jake Plummer, David Boston). And that's just recent history. It's kind of scary that they actually seem to be improving. Jerry Angelo in Chicago has had this extended grace period because of that 12-4 season they had a few years back. He almost has to get canned this year, barring some kind of miracle playoff berth.

Looking at the other teams, Bond looks pretty solid. Alpha Males turned out surprisingly well considered it was autodrafted. What did you guys think? Best pick/worst pick?

I wouldn't mind if it was like an hour earlier. But I can still make it if it's not.

I wish he signed for 2 million, the Canucks could use some breathing room under the cap. That being said, I'm glad Cloutier is back. He's certainly better than anyone on the market right now. He showed so much promise before his injury last year, hopefully he can live up to that promise this year.

He's got hands and size, he should be good with the Sedins. I just hope signing him doesn't stop us from getting a 5th d-man or resigning Matt Cooke.

The prob with being just like the NFL is that QBs are far more valuable than anyone else. I like the idea of having the top QBs/WRs/RBs all scoring around the same amount of points, which requires some scoring tweaks. Speaking of which, can we get that 1 point per reception rule added?
