Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Panthers
The Panthers were beaten by the Titans last weekend, 20-7. The Panthers are 4-4, a half game behind Tampa Bay in the NFC South.The Panthers have been outscored 51-14 the past two games. Rock!
Playing QB for the Panthers this year is kind of like being a drummer for Spinal Tap. It would've been a much different season had Delhomme stayed healthy.
Wow. Week Ten and I'm already making excuses!
The Panthers play Atlanta this weekend. Other than an upcoming date with San Francisco, this might be the only game the Panthers win the rest of the season. But it's at home, and the Panthers haven't won there in almost a year (they last won at Bank of America Stadium on November 19, 2006, a 15-0 victory over the Rams). Still, I say Carolina pulls out a 17-14 win.
The Cynical Dad NFL Rankings
1. New England Patriots (9-0)Finally, they're number one on my list.
2. Indianapolis Colts (7-1)
It would've been a different game had Harrison played.
3. Dallas Cowboys (7-1)
I love having Tony Romo on one of my fantasy teams.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2)
They put 38 points on the board against the Ravens.
5. New York Giants (6-2)
They've won six in a row, but those wins came against teams with a combined record of 13-36.
6. Detroit Lions (6-2)
After God's Team smacked the Broncos last weekend, they deserve a spot on my list.
The Perfect Scenario
I would like to see New England play perfectly for the rest of the year, trouncing every opponent, until the AFC Championship game. Then I would like to see Indy stomp them into the ground.Why? It's not that I hate the Patriots. Actually, I've been rooting for them. I love watching a team that can put a lot of points on the board. I love Belichick's "screw you" attitude. And I'd love to see a team run the table just to shut the '72 Dolphins up.
But I've had it with Bill Simmons. He's turned into a whiny, insufferable bitch.

Good news, folks! I'm handing over my turntables to SciFi Dad this week. He'll be here for the next seven days, providing selections for your musical pleasure.In the late 60s, a 17-year-old boy started a band when he moved from Detroit to Chicago. They had a few albums and one hit (this song). The lead singer went on to better things. You know him as Ted Nugent.
