After what will hopefully be my worst week, what did we learn? Here are some random thoughts on Week 3.
- Underdogs had a winning record (8-5-3) again this week. The old gambling rule of thumb was, if you're torn between two close teams, take the home team. The new rule of thumb will be, when in doubt, take the points.
- The Rams, Bills, Dolphins, and Falcons suck....really bad. I'm betting against them every week.
- Scott Linehan might have been a bad hire by Rams brass. When is it too early to cut the cord and start over? How about week 6? Too early?
- Andre Woodson will look great in a Dolphins uni next year and you can pencil in Brian Brohm as Atlanta's starting QB next year.
- I'm never betting against Vince Young ever again. I did it in the 2006 Rose Bowl, all last year, and the first two games this year. This guy is a winner, plain and simple (even if he does throw like Johnny Damon).
- Brian Griese will be this year's Trent Dilfer and lead the Bears back to the Superbowl.
- Any team that kicks to Devin Hester should be trampled by a band of disgruntled sumo wrestlers.
- Matt Leinart is the new Todd Marinovich.
- The Chicago Cubs have caused my blood pressure to raise 40 points. Just get in guys, just get in.
- Planning a wedding takes way too much time. I've learned to just nod and agree with everything. Saves a lot of time that way.
You can expect our picks for Week 4 tomorrow evening. Just in time to print out and read on the shitter Friday morning.

If it makes you feel any better here's the conversation I had with my 6-year old son Nathan on Sunday morning.
Nate: Who you starting at QB this week Dad?
Me: I guess I'll stick with McNabb.
Nate: Dad!? He hasn't done anything in two weeks and Vince Young is going up against the Saints. They have the 26th worst defense in the league!
Me: Why don't you watch Spongebob like the rest of the kids your age?
Nate: C'mon Dad, you should give Vince a chance. Could be a break out week for him.
Me: Alright kiddo, we'll give Vince a shot.
McNabb throwns for 314 yards and 17 touchdowns in the first half!!! Ugh! I was the laughing stock of my FFL.
Me: Nate ... you're grounded from SportsCenter for a week.
Nate: That's OK. I'll just watch NFL Live.
Never a good sign when your 6 year old is smarter than you and can outplay you in poker.
We have a columnist opening on the blog...can he write yet? I will accept columns in crayon.
1. Second year coaches do not get fired in the middle of the season, it just doesn't happen. Linehan makes it through the year and is canned like Stuart.
2. The Cubs will win the division, and that is about it, at least for this year and not because they deserve it. What a terrible run against...Florida! Don't get mad at me yet...Next year, with A-Rod in the lineup, they will win the division and will have a legitimate shot to break the curse. Enjoy the bandwagoners-they will be EVERYWHERE.
3. Nothing to read this morning on the dumper like you promised.
