Battle of the Bays this weekend. Should be good, both teams have only 2 losses, and are tied for #1 in the league. I doubt we'll get it here, though. MAYBE because of the GB connection.

And Detroit @ Chicago will be the Battle of the Bads, for sure. Probably the game I'll be stuck with.

Cleveland's at NO, so you know NO's kicking some butt.

Even the Chefs should be able to win this week

This is really beginning to bug me. USA Today (where I steal the schedule from) has the Battle of the Bays game at 1pm. But my TV Guide says it'll be airing here at 4:15pm on Fox. WTF?

Now I'm nervous that it might not actually be airing here, and of any game I want to see this year, this is the one.

[John]

I feel a little better. Fox Sports web site lists the Bucs/GB game at 4pm, too. So now that's double-confirmation,and the second time I've seen USA Today screw up.

If I were a betting man, and I am not, I would be looking at the St Louis and Washington game with Warner coming back, but Faulk likely out, I think 5 1/2 is a little too much to be getting on the road.

Wow, the Denver/Indy game tomorrow is big! Go Colts!

[John]

Bill, any time you mention NO losing, I'm with you all the way.

And of course, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Colts, because Dungy is their head coach.

[BravoFan]

What a darn shame that St. Louis BLEW that game! I used to cheer for the Redskins, but I'm so overwhelmingly mad that Spurrier dumped Kevin Lockett from the roster because of ONE fumble in a game that was already lost, I could spit!

I hate Dan Snyder...and now this? I'm cheering for them to lose every game for the rest of the year. Plus Spurrier looks like an idiot in a visor.
