I was going to watch the Browns today, but I decided that life is too short to spend any amount of time watching Chris Ogbannanas run the ball against the 1-7 Rams.

I think I’m going to go outside and bounce a tennis ball off my garage instead.

It doesn’t look like the Bengals are quite ready for prime-time.

I join you in the pain. Cam Newton’s record-setting performance means nothing if my beloved Panthers can’t put something in the W column.

Whee two offensive facemask penalties in two weeks. You don’t see that every century.

So what’s the deal with David Nelson and his girlfriend? (For obvious reasons, this is the only part of today’s Buffalo-Dallas game I want to think about.) I thought cheerleaders weren’t supposed to date players. Seems kind of silly to tell them they can’t date players on their team but they can date players on other teams.

She was a cheerleader before he was a player, and they’ve been dating before he was in the league. I assume that has a lot to do with it.

Or maybe they are. This is turning into a pretty damn good game.

We’re stuck with the Saints-Falcons game in Chicago, for a 13-10 game it’s been pretty fucking dull.

Cardinals hanging in against the Eagles. At least this isn’t as embarrassing as the butt kicking the Cards took on the 2008 Thanksgiving night game. Those same Cards beat the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.

Well a bogus call against the Eagles leads to a red zone turnover. That makes this ripe for the sixth time they’ll lose the exact same way this season. Can’t wait.

So, um, averting my eyes and attempting to distract from **Jules** ’ increasingly-spot-on Blitzburgher impersonation, here’s a comment I saw on [NFL.com](http://NFL.com)!

having a 25% completion rate shouldn’t get you a 100+ QB rating, no matter what.

Here comes another blown 4th qtr lead.

And there it is.

My decision to take Chris Johnson in one of my fantasy leagues finally pays off in Week 10. He has 130 yards and a TD rushing, plus 45 yards receiving.

Steve Smith (NYG) with one of the worst plays I’ve ever seen. He’ll always be a Giant, no way I’m claiming him as an Eagle. In fact, based on his play so far, I’m not so sure he isn’t still a Giant.

Of all the many ways the Browns could lose that game, a botched 22 yard FG would’ve never crossed my mind.

NFL rulesdictate that you can’t watch the exciting ending to the game NFL rules switched you to.
