MONDAY NIGHT QUARTERBACK: When you bounce back, you really bounce back. Ever since week 2 I've been doing what I consider to be poorly. This weekend the dam broke and I hit 13 out of 16 games. I would have scored 14 had I decided to leave my initial pick of the New York Jets as is instead of switching to Cleveland. Remember what I always say: Go with your initial pick unless you have a good reason to switch. I thought I had a good reason: Quincy Carter is quarterbacking. Well, when you go up against a 3-6 team and you're 6-3, I may as well be throwing the ball.

So along with the Jets I missed Carolina beating Arizona and Jacksonville losing to Tennessee. I can understand the Jaguars losing to the Titans but Arizona really should have beaten Carolina.

A couple of weeks ago I listed three things I hate about professional football; please allow me to add a fourth: Fox Sports' pre-game broadcast. Jimmy Johnson, Howie Long, Terry Bradshaw and James Brown are all reasonably intelligent men but put them together and they become braying morons. Add to that the carnival atmosphere, Frank Caliendo's "comedy" skits, Jillian Barberie's less than useless weather report...oi, vey.

Now on to a more important subject. Our Cheerleader of the Week this week comes from the great city of Indianapolis. In honour of Peyton Manning's assault on the record book we give the nod to Christie. Not content with simply being attractive, Christie is also a chemist! Ah, to have the formula to her heart. Wow, that was cheesy.
