Stuff Only I Care About LXI

Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Panthers

The Panthers were demolished by the Jaguars last weekend, 37-6. The Panthers are now 5-8, three games behind Tampa Bay in the NFC South and two games behind Minnesota for the second wild-card spot in the NFC.

Stick a fork in 'em.

They play the Seahawks this weekend. I predict a 28-17 victory for the Seahawks.

Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Tar Heels

The Heels are still 8-0 and are ranked first in both the AP and ESPN/USA Today polls. It's hard to lose when you're not playing any games (although the Panthers could probably give it a shot). Their next game is against Rutgers on Sunday.

The Cynical Dad NFL Rankings

1. New England Patriots (13-0)
I doubt anyone will be guaranteeing victories against the Patriots for the rest of the season.
2. Dallas Cowboys (12-1)
It wasn't pretty, but they pulled it out in the end.
3. Indianapolis Colts (11-2)
Put a hurting on Baltimore last Sunday night.
4. Green Bay Packers (11-2)
They say you can't win in the playoffs without a running game. Green Bay's got one. Indy has one. Dallas has one. New England? Hmmmm.
5. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-4)
How can you run the ball thirty-two times for 181 yards and still lose by three TDs?
6. San Diego Chargers (8-5)
This is a kiss of death. Nearly every week I've done my rankings, my #6 team ends up losing that weekend. Sorry, Chargers fans.

I Love Glam!

Allyson at Bring Back Glam! has been counting down her top ten favorite glam bands of all time. As someone who loves the genre, I've enjoyed reading her list thus far, even though my own list would be quite different.

I Love Christmas Music, Too!

Neil at Citizen Of The Month has posted songs from some of his readers for his 2007 Blogger Christmahanukwanzaakah Online Holiday Concert. There are some talented people there. Give it a listen.

Bit O' The Blogroll

Ok. Thanks to you guys, I've beefed up my blogroll (140 links) and I added a little JavaScript thingie in my middle column (the grey one) that will randomly display ten links from my blogroll on every page of this site.
