Week 5 Results...

That was a hell of block that just sprang Reggie Bush for a 71 yard punt return for a touchdown. The Saints are back in it after outgaining the Vikings all night. Damn... again Reggie Bush. But this time he tripped and Kornheiser says "he's too quick for himself."

Week 5 is done. There are now only two unbeatens remaining... and Mark Wood seems to be running away from the rest of his division, at least points wise. The Giants helped his cause big time with a 44-6 drubbing of the Seahawks. I, as the other unbeaten, am just plugging away, a few points here, a few points there. On the other end of the spectrum there are only 2 winless players. Some tough breaks aj9696 and Joey Gravatt. Certainly you'd have thought the Colts would have beaten the Jaguars at home earlier this year.

On to the rest of the results... the Panthers put it to the Chiefs as expected, helping Monica's cause. The Colts, unfortunately, battled back against the Texans who were making their first home start of the season thanks to Hurricane Ike. Houston was up 27-10 late in the third quarter when Sage Rosenfels quite literally handed the Colts the game. Who, you ask. That's right. A dude name Sage. Enough said. The Patriots left the City By The Bay winners and the Redskins scalped the Eagles after being down by 14 points, 23-17. It would appear that the Redskins are the real deal this year as they now stand at 4-1 and have beaten all but one team in the toughest divsion in football, the NFC East. I officially take back all the fun I poked at Jeff C. and Mark Wood when they made those homer picks. The Cowboys pushed the Bengals further down into the depths of the AFC at 0-5, although they didn't make it look as easy as it should have been. The Bears, in what the "experts" were calling a trap game, kicked the Lions 34-7. The Ravens got beat, 13-10 at home by a, now, 5-0 Titan team but I won't get into the phantom unecessary roughness call after the false start that should have blown the play dead. The bottom line is if you only score 10 points at home, you deserve to lose.

The surprise of the week: Same team who upset the Patriots two weeks ago, did it to the Chargers this week. That's right! The Miami Dolphins are on a win streak as they beat San Diego 17-10. Is it really a streak if its only two, though?

On to next week... Week 6 that is. Game of the Week this week is Baltimore at Indy. You have until the 12th at 1:00pm to get your pick in. Good luck everyone.

OS- Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays for advancing to the ALCS, and LET'S GO ANGELS. There's nothing I'd like to see more than the Red Sox knocked out of the playoffs (besides the Orioles in the playoffs).
