Finally a moment of peace and quiet. THE WOMAN has taken THE MOMs to run some errands, leaving me home to await the arrival of the children.

The ‘Manning’ bowl is over, with predictable results. Peyton out played his little brother, but his team didn’t let him down the way Eli’s did. Eli played a hell of a game, maybe the rest of the team will next week. TO’s tantrums are only a couple of weeks away if Bledsoe can’t get the ball to him more. Take it to the bank. Palmer looks to be ready to make another run at the playoffs. ESPN is now letting you rate the coaches in real time. Some day Jerry Jones will let you fire them in real time too, if he can get it sponsored by Nike. Trent Green took a hell of a shot, but should be alright if his eyes will ever quit spinning. Jake the Fake is back in Denver, anybody want to start a pool on when Cutler gets the starting job?
