"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

Oh my word, did the Bolts ever get furious on the Saints. 6 - 3 headed to the bye week, and coming out of it they get the Raiders. Oh my, yes.

Yeah, those Chargers are actually pretty good.  Drew Brees is making a case for MVP.  Never thought I'd say that.

Fearless Prognostication: Chargers v. Steelers in Division Playoffs

'95, the yeard SD went to the Super Bowl, I watched that very same game in a sports book in Vegas.

You are exactly right - but in my defense I didn't really pick up on the word 'divison' when I first read your post.

OK, I have no defense.

I remember watching that game and thinking that SD was very fortunate to have been AFC champions, as the Stillers had it all working that year.

Yeah, my brother grabbed him somewhere in that area. I was first, with Tomlinson, and my niece was next, with Holmes. My brother and I are tied right now. The kicker? My brother's favorite team is the Dolphins, and you know who is going to lose a record or two this year. Bittersweet . . .

I grabbed Tiki Barber in the seventh round or so.

This is the post in which I say 'thank you' to the other dummies in my fantasy league for leaving Peyton Manning to me at the 6th pick.


Holy crap.  Those 6 touchdown games kinda add up...

Mine too, and Marino has always been a special favorite.  Bittersweet is right.  It's a shame for my hero to lose the record, but I'm happy for Peyton.  He's unquestionably talented and seems like a genuinely nice guy.

I call him Pee Man. I have a bit of a grudge against the family now. And maybe I just see the dark cloud enclosing every silver lining, but I suspect that he's the type of guy who would be happier with a record than a win. I bet Marino's pretty hacked, though. Losing his records, and he doesn't even have a SB to fall back on. How pissed would he be if Peyton got the big game this year?

So, Asherdan, how about them Bolts now? It's looking like they'd play a wild card game at home to start. And your Stillers would have home field throughout. This is turning out nicely. I really enjoyed that Sunday night game.

Iggles keep rollin' rollin' rollin', clinching the division already.  I'd love an all-Pennsylvania Super Bowl.

I think TO might be able to push them over the top. I'm just so darned happy about the Chargers . . . excuse me, I'm tearing up now. Also, Antonio Gates is two TDs away from setting the record for TEs. He is tied with Harrison for second place with 11, two behind TO.

Philly has one of the hardest challenges for a front running team the next five weeks, staying focused and healthy.  I like their chances.

This is where fantasy football gets fun. All the teams that have been rolling with TO and McNabb - and if they sew up home field advantage, they'll be on the sidelines. My team is stocked with AFC players, who'll all be fighting for a spot until week 17. Well, and I. Bruce, who'll be doing the same.

Just get past the NFC Champ game first there, bucko.  Although I think the Eagles look even better with Westbrook giving them a real ground presence in recent weeks.  I haven't even attempted to start handicapping the NFC 'cause it's so Philly then everyone else skewed.

This Sunday is Green Bay/Philly, a game I've been looking forward to all year.  I'm curious to see if Favre can keep it up, he's been incredible the last six weeks.  I'm truly frightened about what TO is going to do to our rookie-filled secondary, though.

Won't it be fun if Gates sets the record on the Broncos? You can't beat setting a record against a rival.

Denver @ San Diego Sunday - national game! I'd really get into this if poll results didn't indicate that half of you could not care any less than you already do.
