1- On the coverage map it only shows that I’m getting the late game in Michigan. My tv listing says paid programming at 1:00 on CBS (paid programming at 1:00!??!?!) I guess that means I’m not getting the game? Looks like I’ll be headed to Old Chicago’s.
2- Anybody have the balls to venture to the Dog Pound to see this one? Wish I did… haha

I like Ced's numbers against Cleveland in that last game.
Hope he can keep that up.

With 37 yards passing, Brady Quinn will reach 1,000 yards passing for his career.
OK I know the guy’s young and only played in about 5 games or so now… but that’s one of those “ouch” numbers that you think “maybe we shouldn’t really publicize this one”…

what i really don’t understand about their qb situation is that derek anderson has had his chance to show the team what he can bring to the table, but they keep benching quinn before allowing him the same opportunity. were anderson’s 3 picks last week really that good to merit changing your starting quarterback?
you're all posers. i hated bratkowski before it was cool.
