Culpepper is on  
My fantasy football league  
He is sent by God.

The Texans rode to  
KC as big underdogs  
Left with victory

Griffin what’s goin’ on  
Why did you fumble those balls  
Come on little man!

Jeremy Shockey  
Caught five passes; slump is over.  
He can shut up now.

(And I say this as a Giants fan.) 😃

‘Skins’ haters now glum:  
Steve Spurrier’s “fun-'n-gun”  
Was comic relief.

\<sigh\>…an eight and five Sunday. Not good. Oh well…at least most if my losses had low confidence points assigned to them.

Here’s my weekly loss recap:

Chiefs start 0 and 3?  
Naaa, that’ll never happen.  
Houston shuts my mouth.

Rams looked really good  
But let the Saints stay in there  
Got beat in O.T.

Why pick the Lions?  
Emotion over logic.  
Man, I _hate_ the Birds.

Favre can’t play indoors?  
B.S. – But his throws don’t help  
Manning scores at will

‘Fins are same as Chiefs.  
Didn’t think they’d start 0-3.  
Bleedin’ splish-splash show.

Fall ends the long wait.  
Football fills up a Sunday  
God has worse ratings
