Tuesday Morning Quarterback

Player of the Week: Eagles QB Donovan McNabb continues to show that, as long as he's healthy, it doesn't matter who his receivers are. With 354 passing yards, 2 TDs and another rushing TD, McNabb gets the honors this week. "T.O.? We don't need no stinkin' T.O.!"

News & Notes

They just get past the Titans this week, barely beat the Jets last week....is it me or are the Colts just not a good football team anymore? Peyton at the helm, the receivers are the same...what gives? I guess if you're building a football team, Edgerrin James and Mike Vanderjaeget should be your foundation.

And how about those Jets? Back to earth? When the New York media is fluffing a 4th rounder like Leon Washington, things really have to be getting bad. Still, it was him for Herm Edwards so I guess the Jets still got the better end of that deal.

Looks like someone finally woke up the Vikings...and it wasn't even another stupid Roy Williams guarantee. Defense wins ballgames folks. Someone needs to share that with Mike Martz.

Look...if Greg Jennings is still available, pick him up dammit!! The Packers have another 11 games to fall behind in and Favre is getting Jennings the damn ball.

Does anyone else think it's funny that Rex Grossman will probably end up in the Pro Bowl this year? He and Bernard Berrian are going to light up Honolulu in February.

Good morning Cedric Benson!!! How nice of you to join the NFL, finally.

Just finished Week 5 and DeShaun Foster can still walk under his own power. Big turn around? I'd be grabbing DeAngelo Williams pretty damn soon. Up next are the Ravens and their not such a nice bunch.

A 100 yard rusher, a 100 yard receiver, the QB throws for 225 yards with 2 TDs and no INTs and they still can't win? Either John Gruden needs a defensive coordinator or the Saints are going to the Super Bowl this year. I'm guessing the former.

So last week I questioned a fantasy writer for his low ranking of Mark Brunnell going in to Week 5. Boy do I feel stupid.

Pffffft!!! Culpepper/Harrington...what the difference?

Anyone actually stay awake for that Monday night game? Ravens + Broncos = Snoozefest '06.

See that San Francisco...a visit from the Raiders is all you need. Welcome back Frank Gore and the rest of the Niner's offense.

Put away that bottle opener. Apparently Larry Johnson's head is a twist-off. Did you see that footage?!?!?. Good thing he's ok. Still though, I say to trade him. The cakewalk is over. For the next 3 weeks he sees Pittsburgh, San Diego and Seattle. Value's never gonna be this high again.

What happened to my LTD? I'm calling for a do-over!!!

And finally, I guess after this week, it's now Eagles 2 T.O. 0. The clock's ticking on Drew Bledsuck. Big D needs to be Romoliscious soon.
