Stuff Only I Care About LX

Welcome

Welcome to the Wednesday edition of Stuff Only I Care About. Since I'm planning on posting every weekday and taking weekends off, I needed to move Stuff Only I Care About. And Wednesday just felt good.

Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Panthers

The Panthers actually won their game last weekend! The Panthers beat the 49ers, 31-14. This was their first victory at home since November 19, 2006. Sad.

The Panthers are now 5-7, three games behind Tampa Bay in the NFC South. Despite their abysmal record, the Panthers are still in playoff contention. They are currently one game behind Detroit, Minnesota, and Arizona for the second wild-card spot in the NFC.

But who the hell am I kidding? The Panthers have no shot at the playoffs. Their final four games are against the Jaguars, Seahawks, Cowboys, and Bucs. This week, they get the Jags. I predict a 31-10 victory for the Jaguars.

Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Tar Heels

The Heels are 8-0 and are ranked first in both the AP and ESPN/USA Today polls. They're off for exams until a December 16th game with Rutgers.

Weekly Random Thoughts On The New York Yankees

While I would love to see the Yankees add Johan Santana to their pitching staff, I really, really, REALLY don't want them to give up Melky Cabrera in the process. I have no problem with the Yankees dealing Hughes or Kennedy, but not both.

But I really don't want to think about what will happen if Santana ends up a Red Sox.

The Cynical Dad NFL Rankings

1. New England Patriots (12-0)
But they don't look invincible anymore.
2. Dallas Cowboys (11-1)
The Cowboys made a major statement with their win over Green Bay.
3. Indianapolis Colts (10-2)
The Colts all but wrapped up the AFC South with last weekend's victory over Jacksonville.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3)
They could actually beat New England this weekend.
5. Green Bay Packers (10-2)
Favre looked like Bad Brett before he got hurt in the Dallas game.
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-4)
They've won four in a row and didn't lose a step last weekend when Garcia couldn't play.
