MONDAY NIGHT QUARTERBACK: Another relatively successful week with 12 of 16. Is Steve on a roll? It would have been a better week had Seattle not collapsed in the second half (guys, with a 17 point lead and only 6.5 minutes remaining you should win the game), Cleveland lived up to their pseudo-hype, Houston pulling it out (my long shot pick of the week) and Denver not losing to my hapless Chicago Bears. That last one bothered me but not that much...my Bears needed a win.

Congrats to Kordell Stewart for coming in to replace an injured Chris Chandler and leading the Bears to a surprising win. You saved Dick Jauron's job for one week. That said, if the Bears lose to the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday not even God could save his job.

I wanted to honour my Bears with the Cheerleader of the Week but unfortunately their web site doesn't realize how important it is to have scantily clad women who'd never give me a second look on it. As punishment I offer Denver Broncos cheerleader Sarah LaGrange, a seven-year veteran of the the squad and a first-grade teacher. Oi vey, no teacher I ever had looked like her. She lists "Black Hawk Down" as her favourite book and she likes to golf. Note to self: Visit all golf courses in Parker, Colorado if I'm ever there.
