"# 3 Dallas Cowboys (8-1)
I'm looking three games ahead, to a Nov. 29 Thursday nighter when Green Bay comes to the Big D. Can the Packers win this? "Yes," says Darren Sharper, Minnesota strong safety who just lost to the Pack, as reported by our demon Midwest correspondent, Scoop McGinn. "Favre will be able to attack their corners." Hopefully after they've arrived at the stadium.

# 4 Green Bay Packers (8-1)
On Monday I read the headline: "Favre goes over 60,000 yards passing against the Vikings." No wonder that game took so long. "

It's a good joke. Several anchors on ESPN were making similar jokes about the yardage. The game took what, 2:45 though.

I love it.

That might have been a softball but it was really funny nontheless.

I'm surprised he didn't shoe-horn in an under-handed dig at Brett...

By making jokes was his way of 'digging'.
But that's OK...............dig away!

Yeah, but it wasn't a dig at Brett.

He usually doesn't give Brett any respect, is the point I'm trying to make.

I know. Putting him in the top 10 quarterbacks of all time, what was Z trying to prove?

I thought those ranks were unfair - with Indi getting beaten like a dog...you actually used the LW rankings, Dallas is #2, GB #3. The Colts are all the way down to 5, which I thought was harsh, but losing Freeney has to hurt them huge.

I love that the two 'C's rankings are flipped. Cleveland is #10, Chicago is #21 8-)
