Well, that's it. The Patriots did what they needed to do Sunday, but it just didn't happen. That's why every team should handle their business on their own and don't leave the job for a third party to complete.

So, there's this Oakland County, Michigan law enforcement officer who's a professional acquaintance of mine. Nice guy, former Marine. Definitely not a guy you'd want to mess with. "James" has a friend who works in the Detroit Lions front office. Here's what the friend told James: a few years ago, the Lions contacted Bill Parcells about coaching the Detroit Lions. After all, who better to resurrect the toothless Lions than the Big Tuna? After all, Parcells has won two Super Bowls as a coach, went to a third and very nearly took the New York Jets there.

First weekend I missed games that I usually would of not picked........That's why I bet with my head not my heart. I usually do not pick the Eagles game because I will more then likly take the Eagles. This weekend I broke the cardinal rule and had two lost because of it. I also picked the Viking to not fumble it over to the Falcons. I nailed my Elimination pick of the Saints....I also had my upset game of the week Chargers.......I won the holiday pick but it was not a cover for my Vegas friends. Seeing they won by one.

It seems only fitting that what could end up as the Chicago Bears’ final game of significance this season comes against their biggest rivals the Green Bay Packers. If you choose to recall week 11’s trouncing at Lambeau Field, revenge would be that much sweeter. Oh, I hear revenge is a dish best served cold. Well, with an expected high of only seven degrees in Chicago, it could be on the menu Monday night. This time around, the Packers have been eliminated from playoff contention, and the Bears are the team fighting to stay alive. Since the Vikings chose to lose four fumbles to Atlanta yesterday, the Bears are playing with a purpose.

Watching the Packers lose their fourth game in their last five, it seemed obvious to me, just as it should to the entire world, that this is no where near the same Packers team that went 13-3 last year. The question is why. There is one obvious answer to that question and one not so obvious answer. You would have to have spent the past year in a cave to not know that after sixteen years with the team, Brett Favre is no longer the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. The other big difference between last year's team and this one is something a little more difficult to predict or control. That is health.

So it might not come down to this, but the Vikings (6-5 overall, 2-2 in the division) need to win on Sunday Night Football this weekend against the Bears (6-5, 3-1) to win the NFC North.
Yes, if they lose they will be a game back with four games to go; however, we would have lost both games to Da Bears and lose any tie-breaker, essentially being two games back with four to go. Throw in the fact that the Packer face a Carolina team that can be beat and the Vikings could fall to third in the division quickly (fortunately they can't drop to fourth--thank you Detroit). Green Bay is 3-1 in the divison, 5-6 overall.

The Vikings can bless the Saints for their work this season.
On Monday Night Football two months ago, somehow the Saints managed to blow a game to the 1-3 Vikings 30-27. the win was the start of Minnesota's current 5-2 run. Back on MNF, the Saints helped the Vikings again by downing the Packers 51-29 to get above .500 at 6-5 and are back to within two games of NFC South leaders Carolina and Tamba Bay (8-3).

No one is saying it. The networks and big newspapers love to ignore the WAC, Mountain West, and others as if they were a conservative Republican with no charisma. In my area, for example, the Utah-BYU game was not even on television. A game between two top 20 teams was unavailable. A game that would determine one of the schools in the BCS this season was a no-show.

Eleven weeks into the 2008 NFL season, the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings all sit atop the NFC North division with identical 5-5 records. The Bears have overachieved, the Packers the opposite, and the Vikes are right about where I thought they would be. Here's a quick look at the remaining schedules for both teams, and how I think each will fare down the stretch...

The BCS system, a playoff, the pre-BCS system, oh the debates! So lets turn the tables on the BCS minus the C.
In this era of confusion, befuddlement, and Obama's "Spread the wealth around" mantra, I thought it would be fun to spread some myself. Since the major networks control political elections,the polls, and BCS process as well, let's turn the tables. So I offer an alternative BCS-the Broadcaster Championship Series. Let's see if they like a little of their own, poorly funded and can't get a necessary surgery for years, medicine.

As far as I know, the Chicago Bears were supposed to play a game on Sunday. They were supposed to travel to Lambeau Field for a key contest that will surely factor in when determining the NFC North champion. Apparently, Lovie Smith’s team decided to take the day off. There is no other reason for only putting three points on a suspect Packer defense while giving up an astounding 200 rushing yards to a team that had an at-best average ground game. The Bears didn’t show up to play and the Packers took advantage.

The NFL’s oldest rivalry opens up a new chapter at Lambeau Field this Sunday, November 16, 2008. Entitled “After Favre,” this new plot twist leaves fans of both teams anxious but uncertain as to what will unfold in this classic tale. One thing they can expect to see is Kyle Orton under center for the visiting Chicago Bears. After missing the loss against the Titans with an ankle injury, Orton will try and keep his team in first place with a win over the Packers.

Now that we’re past the halfway point for the 2008 NFL season and based on my current record for picking games against the spread this year (horrendous), I’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and try a new experiment in terms of the strategy I use in making my weekly picks.

I will admit that, due to the opening of deer hunting season here in Minnesota, I did not watch the big Vikings/Packers game last Sunday on TV. However, from listening to most of it on the radio and watching all the postgame shows and highlights, I would like to add a few thoughts on what has (at least so far) been the Vikings' most exciting victory of the season:

It looked grim for a while, but the Vikings overcame some sloppy play to beat the Packers at home, 28-27. Adrian Peterson scored on a 29-yard run to give Minnesota the lead.
Mason Crosby's 52-yard field goal went wide right, giving the Vikes the win. But it seemed almost like three games.

I have been a huge Packers fan for a long time. When you are a Packers fan then you are also a Favre fan, it comes with the territory. When he retired, I was sad like everyone else was here. I also knew A-Rod was in the wings and had not been the greatest so far. But hey, give the guy a shot I thought. Then after we all thought the Favre era was finally over, it all got stirred up again. I will tell you after 2 years of this crap I was done with Favre, and thought he should just have stayed retired.

Yo, I just want some thoughts on this one. Where I from Mom dukes always told me nobody like a taddle tale. When I got older if you told on someone that your cool with to another dude that you are now cool with, when that first dude found out about it it was going to be a couple of rounds of how many times my fist can find your face. So what is the deal with Brett Favre telling the Lions about he Pack. No matter how much he did or didnt say you cant do that were im from. Plus it didnt help the Lions got killed. If i was on the Pack the next time we play the Jets is going to be on like hot butter popcorn!!! With the way he left the Pack and this new info that came out Brett’s Legacy in my eyes is going down the drain! Church! Let me know what you think!!

While surfing the internet recently, I have come to a sad conclusion-the Apocalypse is UPON US! The number of morons in America is staggering. I wrote a column several weeks ago talkling about what would happen if a star quarterback like Tony Romo was injured during the season. Although the comments I have recieved here have been insightful,I was lambasted by some on other message boards for claiming that he indeed was injured. I found it laughable that they could not understand that a question was being raised. (Article is found in September Archives) Romo wasn't hurt. We all knew that. Now he is - as well as Tom Brady, Carson Palmer, and Brodie Croyle. My staments on its effects on a team have also come true. But I digress.

Each week, on Friday, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend games. I will always prognosticate on the Eagles and Cowboys games and then pick two more games of interest (to me, that is, not necessarily to you). Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling. That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

So I normally title my Monday blog: Monday Mourning due to being hungover from a full day of drinking and watching sports, hence the “mourning” because I have to get up, go to work, puke in the bathroom, and subsequently fall asleep in all of my meetings and get absolutely no work done. But today is different, mainly due to the fact that CBS’s and Fox’s regional coverage of NFL games in my area was HORRIBLE. Games that had a spread of +11 with no fantasy implications at all were being aired, so I went and watched polo (you know, the sport where guys on horses trot around and whack a ball with mallets). I had never been to a polo game before but we decided to go due to the possibility of attractive females (there are always beautiful women at horse events). We mingled with a few and made up some elaborate lies that we were just checking out the competition and had our horses stabled a few miles away. We were obviously out of place, with our cheers of “nice pass man!” and “shoooooot it!” but we wholeheartedly plan on attending it every Sunday for the rest of the season – pending what NFL games are on of course.

So we're a quarter of the way through the regular season and the Pack is 2-2. Their starting QB has an injury of unknown severity to his throwing shoulder and is backed up by two rookies. They've lost their most effective defensive lineman (Cullen Jenkins) for the season. They may lose their rock of a CB (Al Harris) for the season as well. And if you count Rodgers, Jenkins and Harris, 10 of their 22 starters were listed on the injury report for this week's game against the Falcons. Their leading rusher from a year ago (Ryan Grant) is averaging 3.38 yds/carry, has lost two fumbles, and has rushed for fewer yards on the season than he did in a single playoff game against Seattle last season. Oh, and they may cut their punter (Derrick Frost) if he doesn't show marked improvement this week.

It has only taken two weeks for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers to go from undefeated and better without Favre to .500 and needing a veteran quarterback. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won two consecutive emotional games against the NFC North. Despite these ups and downs, both are tied for first place in their respective divisions after four weeks.

The Crying Game
The Terrell Owens story
Hello NFL fans,
Well here we are, week four of the third year with his last team. This will be his last team, I truly believe that. If I were an owner I would rather get a letter full of anthrax and then imprisoned IN Cuba to spend the rest of my days. The continuous onslaught of reporters and fans condemning my name and wanting my head on a stick would be too much for me to bare.

With the MLB playoffs set to begin, there is a subtle difference in the air compared to start of any other postseason. In the NHL, fans can potentially look forward to a great Canadians/Bruins series that is not only exciting, but has a historical kick to it. Likewise basketball fans always have the chance to see if the Suns can finally get past the Spurs and football fans love seeing the rivalry of the Eagles Vs the City of Philadelphia when the Eagles so much as get tackled for a loss.

Cleveland Browns (0-3) at Cincinnati Bengals (0-3)
Last week we had the Pennsylvania Bowl in the NFL, featuring two great teams. It’s too bad for Ohio that both of their teams are just plain bad. Each of these squads is looking to step on the other as they climb out of the trash heap of winless teams. If Derek Anderson is going to hold off the Brady Quinn chants, he’ll have to beat the hapless Bengals. He won’t be able to do it alone though, as Braylon Edwards needs to stop dropping every ball that comes his way. Cincinnati isn’t looking to be pushed over either, as they offered stuff opposition to the Super Bowl Champ New York Giants last week, forcing overtime. Carson Palmer will be hungry in this game, and a Palmer-led offense can put up 40 on any given Sunday.

Big D put a big whoopin’ on Green Bay last night. It wasn’t as high-flying as the game they won versus Philadelphia last Monday night, but Dallas continued their early-season domination. Instead of the pass, Dallas used the run to pound on the Packer defense throughout the game, which opened up plays downfield and in the play action game. Tony Romo wasn’t brilliant, but he was exciting as always, dodging defenders so his receivers can get open.

Kevin Kolb's first NFL past for an interception.
Wait a second is that possable. Did the second year QB's first pass get tipped and caught by Troy Polamalu? Wait a second I know I drink alot........Did Kolb not come in for clean up duty for Mcnabb in week one. I am willing to bet he went 5 for 6 and had 53 yards passing. Ok so maybe the Rams do not count as an NFL team. I mean they are 0 and 3 for season. They have been the whipping team so far in the NFL. Or maybe the media dose not check there facts before they report things. I knw they said it in the game and I suppose since it was said it on TV it must be true right. Well, Boo for the media outlets running with a false stat. Yeah for the people that pay little attention to the truth. I mean I know i heard alot about conspiracy theory's. So Media we did not land on the moon. it was in a hollywood basement studio. Lets see if they will run with that cause I wrote it or do some research??????? Oh well, I am off to listen to some more news stories and watch the Cowboys and Packers play. I guess I will have to wait till morning and see who the media says wins the game.

Hello, I am Eagle I Spirit. I used to write weekly NFL picks for a dozen websites a few years back, mostly under the names Peter Hansen or Draftman Hansen. I went my whole year of writing not losing to the spread one single week and the following year when i just wrote my picks for a few "fans," didn't lose one single week either. Now that I truely have tuned in to daily psychic vibes, I look forward to writing weekly picks if there is any traffic that comes this way. Here is a mock draft.

This is horrible! I cannot go with my Bengals this week. I am so torn but I have to go with my feelings on who the true players are! I will make this short and give my prediction and tell you why. I will add a personal note since I had a bad week but blessed to say, it was not like the hurricane victims. I pray, they continue to succumb the events of this week. On Sunday, the 14th; we all know now that the Bengals lost to Titans, we had a wind storm in some parts of Ohio and surrounding areas, lost power for X amount of days&some still without it tonight, my personal laptop crashed on Monday, ran out of gas on Tuesday due to people going crazy at the gas pumps&stations ran out of gas but all in all I am happy now! I am still at work, LOL; doing what I love most, BLOGGING! I gotta get out here, I must be crazy!

I can still remember the day the Packers traded for Brett Favre. I remember being mostly angry that we’d sent a first round draft pick to the Falcons for a guy whose name I couldn’t pronounce that they’d drafted in the second round last year. What the hell was this Ron Wolf guy thinking? It was dumb moves like this that was the reason why the Packers had been a joke for so long.

I would like to thank Jerry Jones for signing Adam Jones. No, not Pacman. He's in Dallas now so let's wipe the slate clean and call him Adam. Anyway, with his addition the Newman situation isn't as troublesome as it would be. And I have to be honest. There seems to be a pattern of injury's when it comes to Newman. He's one of the best all around DB's in the NFL, but if he's not playing, then it doesn't really matter now does it? I say start Jones and play Newman in Nickel and Dime packages. So once again, thank you Jerry and just so ya know. HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS. Peace-Mark
