Wow. That was just sad. Season's over, tickets will be cheap, and they can focus on next year I suppose. Nall did a good job at the end- probably a good thing since Brett may not want to stick around after this pathetic season. :-( I hate that they screw up so much then once it's too late brett starts playing like he should be and whipping the ball down the field. Damn interceptions.

Kaili, don't give up hope, the season is only 1/4 over.

FYI for the NFL Pool people, the Panthers are hurting in a big way. Our 2nd string running back is out 6 weeks with a broken collarbone and we have numerous first stringers out with injuries. Last year we were lucky to have everyone healthy so I guess that the BB Karma has boomeranged and whacked us in the head this year. Lord, please don't let Philly kill us too bad!

1/4 over...standing at 1-4 and they'll probably lose in Detroit. Brett sounded very sad on the radio yesterday.

OK, tell me if this is coincidence, or am I being cynical.

At last nights TN Vols vs. Ole Miss game, the Manning brothers were there. Payton, the ex-quarterback for the Vols, and Eli, the ex-quarterback for Ole Miss. They are now-Payton, quarterback for Indy, and Eli, quarterback for NY Giants. Isn't it kinda funny how they both had the day off before their alma mater game? Or do you think Archie had anything to do with it. It seems that everyone kisses the Mannings butts, but I don't think it is deserving. Sure, they were, and are, great QB's, but sheeesh!!
P.S. Does anyone remember Tee Martin, the ex-quarterback for TN Vols that actually WON the national championship for the Vols?!?!

Lots of times you will see former players on the sidelines during big rivalry games. I doubt Archie had to pull any strings.

I know that LadyTex, but it's just such a coincidence that they both had the next day off after their former colleges met for a big game.

I guess Green Bay showed all the people who picked Detroit to win today--and that includes me!! I'm glad for them! I'm a Cowboys fan, but have always loved the Packers, too!

I am a died in the wool Detroit fan but I also adore Brett and I was happy to see him have a successful day and change that horrible 1-4 record. I just wish he had done it last week instead.

I kinda thought they would win- desperation does that to them :-) Nino- you must be in a bind for next week, huh? Aren't the Cowboys going to be coming here??

The funny thing is, in the papers all last week they had fan comments, columns, etc saying Mike Sherman has to be fired, he's a bad coach, etc. Now they win and he was calling the offensive plays himself and suddenly the papers are all about how great he is.

WATCH Monday Night Football....the Rams are playing! BUT you should watch because the Southern Illinois University Marching Salukis will be the BAND!!!!

YEAH, BAND!!! I'm hoping for a crowd shot, 'cause I don't think that they show the halftime show anymore.

It's pouring rain here, so maybe the game will be delayed.....

"Walk like an Egyptian! Gooooo Dawgs!"

<Marm is very proud of her students....just change "marm" to "Mom"!>

Kaili, I'm never in a bind when it comes to my beloved Cowboys!!! LOL! They're number 1 in this house! I always pull for Green Bay, as long as they're playing someone other than Dallas, unless it happens to be Houston! LOL! Can you tell I love football??

I'm definitely watching Monday Night Football, as well as baseball! It feels like a sports bar in my house tonight!!

I can't believe it, I got 11 out of 14 right for my first time to play!! I expected to fall flat on my face!! Can anyone tell me what the x's and the .'s mean in the charts thread? My screen reader is having fits with the charts! LOL! I tried to check and see if my picks were correct, but all I could get this computer to read were the x's and the .'s! Help!!

Okay, I have figured some of it out! I still don't know what the x and . means, but I did see my results for the week posted! Man, I wish I'd have known about this a few weeks ago! I probably should have posted this in the pool thread! Sorry!

Nino, the X's indicate your picks for that particular game. The "." is filler for the cell in the Excel chart if no data is required (like a pick, a team name, etc). In order for the chart to hold its formulas, and for it to be "postable" here at TVCH, each cell has to have something in it (like the "."). Did that make any sense?

BTW, you did a great job for your first week! I still have yet to score so well!

There were some surprise outcomes this past Sunday! Congratulations to KC for playing so well against what was considered a very good Atlanta team--KC beat the stuffing out of them.

The Browns played tough and showed a lot of heart.

Poor Family, they are catching it!:

Favre's wife diagnosed with breast cancer
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/football/nfl/10/26/bc.fbn.favre.swife.ap/index.html?cnn=yes

GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) -- Deanna Favre, the wife of Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre, has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Deanna Favre was recently released from Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York after undergoing a lumpectomy, Bonita Favre, Deanna's mother-in-law, told The Sun Herald on Monday.

Deanna Farve will undergo chemotherapy treatments which could last up to five months and is expected to make a full recovery, Bonita Favre said.

Favre was told about the cancer Oct. 14 and left practice to be with his family for a day prior to the Detroit Lions game on Oct. 17.

"Brett was relieved to learn that the situation is not as bad as it could have been," Deanna's brother-in-law, Scott Favre said. "We think that they got (all of the cancer) out."

It has been a difficult year for the Favre family. In December, Brett's father, Irvin, died from a heart attack. Deanna's brother, Casey Tynes, 24, was killed three weeks ago in an ATV accident on Brett Favre's land near his home in Oak Grove.

Deanna is originally from the Kiln. She and Brett married in 1997.

Deanna Favre runs the Brett Favre Fourward Foundation, which has raised more than $1 million for disadvantaged or disabled children who live in Wisconsin or Mississippi.

"The family has been through a great deal and we will get through this," Bonita Favre said. "We would like to thank everyone for the prayers and support. We're a strong family and with the help of the Lord, we'll get through this."

I am sad that my eagles lost today. They were almost as bad as my weekly picks!

Ay caramba!

That sounds like me, Ladytex! Whatisgoingon? It seemed like all the teams I picked this week who lost should have won. Go figure. I was going to pick Cincinnati and changed my mind. That is the second time I didn't go with my instinct and lost. Ouch. My score has bounced up and down like a yo-yo. LOL
