MONDAY NIGHT QUARTERBACK: A slightly better weekend for me this time with 10 of 14.

There's always an big upset and this weekend it was Arizona beating San Francisco. Not surprisingly, after another amazingly bad outing, it appears that the Squared Sevens will replace kicker Owen Pochman with free agent Todd Peterson. If Pochman makes it out of 'Frisco alive I'd be surprised.

From ESPN:

Pochman missed two field goals and, to compound his problems, shanked the kickoff at the beginning of overtime out of bounds. The penalty for kicking the ball out of bounds permitted the Cardinals to begin the extra session at their own 40-yard line, and Arizona moved quickly toward the game-winning field goal by Tim Duncan.

In retrospect, picking Dallas on the road to beat Tampa Bay was a mistake, though an almost justifiable one. The New York Giants once again messed me up by beating Minnesota and Cincinnati beating Seattle was a surprise.

Week 1: 9 of 15 (Thursday night game not counted)
Week 2: 13 of 15
Week 3: 10 of 15
Week 4: 10 of 15
Week 5: 11 of 14
Week 6: 11 of 14
Week 7: 8 of 14
Week 8: 10 of 14

Season %: 70.6 (+0.1%)

In honour of Arizona's victory, this week's cheerleader of the week is Brooke, a five year veteran of the Card's cheerleading team. A Public Relations major -- Dean's Honour roll at that -- Brooke enjoys dancing, pilates and babysitting. Sadly, Brooke was born in a year I have clear memories of, proving that at 32 I am old.
