Arnold is now officially the Governator. Maybe he should start cleaning up California by kicking the Chargers out of the state. I mean, that way SoCal could just get an expansion team and start from scratch. Even the Texans, who have only been in the league two years, have a better record than the Chargers. The Chargers should be terminated.
Game of the Week: New York Giants at Tampa Bay
No Keyshawn. No magic. Two crappy teams on Monday Night Football, just what ABC wants.

If 49ers’ quarterback Tim Rattay is this year’s Marc Bulger, then that makes Jeff Garcia this season’s Kurt Warner. Fortunately for Garcia, he doesn’t have an ugly-ass, look-alike wife that calls sports radio stations to support her husband (read: alienate said husband from teammates).
Game of the Week: New Orleans at Philadelphia
I’m predicting an upset, baby! Yeah, D. McNabb’s been better of late, but the Eagles have no running game. Deuce McAllister will upstage Duce Staley & Co. as the Saints go marching into the playoff picture.

Welcome to Part Two of the William Green saga. A week after receiving a four-game suspension for marijuana use, the Browns’ running back was stabbed in the shoulder blade with a steak knife by his fianc‚e. Now the question here is which rehab should he start, physical therapy or drugs? With his girl out of the picture, it’s no longer a “joint” decision!
Game of the Week: New York Giants at Tampa Bay
With Keyshawn Johnson on the shelf for the rest of the year, the Bucs will lose their advantage in the trash-talking department. Oh wait, they play football too. In that case, they should be fine.

Oh, it’s that time of year again. It’s time for Thanksgiving. Time to make some awesome stuffing with everything but the kitchen sink in it. And pumpkin pie. Yummy. Oh yeah, there’s football on TV. Miami at Dallas. I may even watch it.
Game of the Week: Jacksonville at New York
Although New York is probably a much better city all around than J-ville, I’ll go with the Jags. I can’t make too much fun of JAX though, considering I’ll be there for Thanksgiving. At least it will be warmer than the good old STL.

Keyshawn will now be watching from the Tampa Bay bench for the remainder of the season. All I have to say is, it’s about time they put a stop to his antics. More power to Parcells if he willingly picks up the problem.
Game of the Week: Tennessee vs. Atlanta
Although their six-game streak of scoring thirty or more points was snapped by Jacksonville last week, I expect McNair and the Titans to return to form against a Vick-less Atlanta squad that has yet to win a game at home this season.
