Talk about a kick to the groin

No, I am not talking about Brayton's kick of Jeramy Stevens. I am talking about the kick to the Gurus in week nine. I guess instead of it being all mine, it was more like here take all mine. I personally was shocked at this past weekend. About the only thing I predicted right last week was the Vikes being in a trap game, but it was not an official play. So now we stand at a negative 10.4 stars on the year after taking an unusual amount of games last week.

Here are some of the highlights from last week's action:

The only thing worse than our picks is the realization that the Defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers are out of it this year. Big Ben looks timid...Max Starks couldn't block Brittany Spears...our corners cover less than Britt's outfits...Joey does more kicking - and whining - then he does sacking.

Do you think the Broncos miss Ahsley Lelie or is Javon fitting in okay?

Someone please explain how the Falcons can lay an egg in Detroit? I guess those weapons have finally started to gel in Detroit...too bad it may lead to another 6 - 10 season.

I guess history can repeat itself...Fins go into Chicago and knock off an undefeated Bears team...at least there are some people happy in south Florida. Will the Fins make another late season run and become the darling pick in 2007?

Rex will make some mistakes, but in the end the Bears will be there.

The Baltimorons proved they are the class of the AFC North with their dismantiling of Carson and the Bungles. I personally think it was right here where you heard the Bungles were more likely to be a 9 - 7 team than an 11 - 5 division winning team. The offensive line is a mess...the defense is a mess...and I am pretty sure someone is due to be arrested again soon.

The end of the Cowboys and Indians game looked a little like the old games we used to play in the neighborhood...a bunch of kids running around out of control...what an ending...BTW, TO needs to shut up now that he has had several key drops...

I am really liking the Aints...just as a feel good story...it is going to be tough to root against them this Sunday at Heinz field.

Can someone please tell me what happened to KC when they came to Heinz field? They have looked like worldbeaters since then...Damon freaking Huard is second in the league in QB rating...

G-men clearly were looking ahead to this week...I hope...although the DL is beat up...should be a good game...

Any team want to give up a 1st round choice for Byron...I think he may be available...Garrard is going to be the man going forward. The controversy is on...

Cleveland still sucks...and Oakland still swallows...I know that is not nice...but it is true...although I still can't believe the Bolts had a little trouble with them.

The Pats vs. Colts game was phenomenal as advertised...Brady had some unlucky bounces on that night or all the undefeated teams would have been beaten. I told you never to give Peyton 3 points...unfortunately, the other nuggets were more like cow pucks than gold...

Look for another exciting week 10 to cut into the deficit...
