MONDAY NIGHT QUARTERBACK: Well, it seems we know how to guaruntee wins by the Cincinnati Bengals. Have them play home games on Monday nights. The Bengels have played three games on Monday night, twice at home and once on the road, and only lost the away game (1992 in Pittsburgh). At any rate, beating Denver to win was a nice gift to the over 65,000 people who packed Paul Brown Stadium.

Unfortunately my weekend was far worse. Notre Dame kicked it off Saturday by blowing a 17 point lead over Boston College. It got a lot worse on Sunday. I usually tell you which games I got wrong but this week it will be easier to list the ones I got right: Baltimore, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Tampa Bay, New England and Green Bay. Yup, that's six right. In all my years of football prognostication I have never gotten only six right.

How about them Seahawks? The biggest fraud of 2004? Apparently Atlanta forgot they were supposed to play defense. No other way to explain a 56-10 shellacking by the beleagured Kansas City Chiefs. I make this prediction: Michael Vick will never go 7 for 21 ever again.

Week 1 - 8 out of 15
Week 2 - 11 out of 16
Week 3 - 9 of 15
Week 4 - 7 of 14
Week 5 - 7 of 14
Week 6 - 9 of 14
Week 7 - 6 of 14

Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Micaela Johnson remains the only cheerleader to ever email me and that pattern continued this weekend. Unfortunately it was a bit time sensitive. Micaela and the rest of the squad appeared on The View Monday morning and the "Making Of" video for their annual calender aired on ESPN Monday night. Two chances to view the beauty that is the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and I missed them both. I should turn in my official Cheerleader of the Week Judge badge. At any rate Micaela, if you read this, as apology I offer to make you Enter Stage Right's Official Cheerleader if you decide to accept the honour...such that it is. No public appearances necessary and you can even deny ever knowing us.

At any rate, if for no other reason then I've never chosen a Baltimore Ravens cheerleader, our Cheerleader of the Week is Carrie S. Carrie is single and a health education teacher. I'd say more but my eyes are blistered by her beauty.
