Quickly! Write about football before the weekend gets here!

Surprise, surprise. Purdue lost to Penn St., 26-19. Not much to say here...Purdue fails against tough teams, we're already bowl eligible. Curtis Painter had his first game this season without a TD, which dropped him a few places - he's now barely in the top 30 in NCAAF QBs. Purdue is 3-3 Big Ten, 7-3 all facing Michigan St. Spartans (1-5, 5-5) next in our last home game.

Won again in Fantasy Football, moving to 5-4 and a three way tie for second. I face Jenny this week, and the projections put us with 10 points of each other. Just three more weeks until our playoffs.

Donovan McNabb (Eagles QB) said the road to the NFC East championship still runs through Philadelphia. Well, tell that to Tony Romo and co. who rolled their way over the Eagles 38-17 on Sunday night. Eagles coach Andy Reid has come under fire for having a drug magnate son, more controversy coming from the disparity between his [lack of] punishment and Michael Vick. I say that's because kids don't idolize a fat walrus looking man who who screams from the sidelines. Coming up for the Cowboys: a tough division road game against the 6-2 Giants

Colts blew a 10 point lead at home in the 4th quarter, losing 24-20 to the Patriots. Come on! Maybe if the Colts could draw double and triple coverage with [absent] Marvin Harrison, like the Patriots did with Randy Moss, we'd see a different outcome. As it is, I'm thinking New England might go 16-0.

Browns beat the Seahawks 33-30 in overtime, whaaat? Whatever, just don't make me watch the Bengals lose to Brady Quinn at the helm of Cleveland. Fun fact: the Seahawks, now 4-4 having dropped 3 of the last 5, still lead the NFC West by a game. What a pushover division.

Not a big fan of LaDanian Tomlinson, so I'm glad Adrian Peterson beat the Chargers 35-17. Oh, I guess there were some other Vikings there, too.

Lions over Broncos, 44-7? WHAT?

The Saints breezed past the Jags, 41-24. Let me tell you, I am really really amazed at Drew Brees turning things around. New Orleans is now at .500, winning 4 straight after going 0-4. Here are the numbers, folks: "Since starting 0-4, Drew Brees' numbers are through the roof. Over the last four games, he's got a 115.1 quarterback rating, completing over 71 percent of his passes for 1,246 yards, 11 touchdowns and one interception." - Yahoo Sports. They play the winless Rams (0-8) next.

Brett Favre is keeping up with Romo, and the Packers cruise to 7-1 over the Chiefs in a 33-22 win. Number 4 joins Peyton Manning and Tom Brady as the only QBs to have beaten 31 teams. I hope they keep things up against the 3-5 Vikings this week. It looks like the rest of November is where the NFC plays out.

Lastly, the heartbreakers, my Cincinnati Bengals. Lost 33-21 to the Bills (I can't even name a single the Bills player - can you?). Bengals move to 2-6, with one of the worst three defenses in the league. Our star receiver Chad Johnson hurt his neck and is questionable going into this week's game. Given Chad's numbers (2nd best receiver in the NFL behind Patriot's Randy Moss) and TJ's consistency (8 straight games with a TD), and the awesomeness that is Carson Palmer (some think he's the 3rd best NFL QB right now) - WHY are things so terrible? Yes, our defense is falling apart. Yes, over a dozen Bengals players have had legal problems in the past year. It just feels like the AFC North is fucked to hell right now, with the Steelers and the Browns of all teams, dominating. Even the Ravens (4-4) make us look bad, and we play them this week. It's on the road...a place we haven't won at yet this year.
