- Does the 49ers defensive players get paid to play? If so, why???

- Einar, don't give on the Pack. At 1-5, they're still poised to strike. A 5-5 run will leave them 6-10, surely enough wins for the NFC North

- I watched the entire Denver/Giants game, hoping for a miracle that would leave the Chiefs just a half game behind the Ponies. And I'm still stunned that it happened! Maybe the G-Men are for real. Eli Manning is certainly the real-deal.

- I don't root for/against the Bengals, but I love seeing Chad Johnson's end-zone dances.

- I heard that the former Vikings owner was longing for the "good old days", when it was just stuff like Mike Tice scalping tickets, Randy Moss mooning the Green Bay crowd, etc.

- And finally, for Craig, I just read something this evening that really ticked me off. I don't know if you remember the AFC divisional playoff game between KC and Denver at Arrowhead in Jan 1998, when Denver won 14-10. There were several calls that went against KC. Well, about a month after the Super Bowl, the league reviewed the game film, and actually acknowledged that the officials made several bad calls that cost the Chiefs 5 pts. Of course, one play can change the entire complexion of a game....but for a team that hasn't won a playoff game in over 11 years, these types of arguments are the only thing we can hold onto!!!
