NFL Brief - Week 10

We all knew a girl from high school that was the queen of the class, a member of the "snob" squad, wore the best clothes, was the head cheerleader, and was dating the captain of the basketball team. Girls wanted to be her, and guys wanted to be with her. Flash forward 5-7 years and she couldn't go to/ finish college because she got pregnant on accident, now has two kids, is married only because of those kids, and that head of the cheerleading team frame looks worn and battered. (Yes I knew someone who did and does fit this description) On the other end of the spectrum, you have the academic, not well taken care of and developed girl who had brains, but lacked social skills, reputation, and looks. Someone who wanted to be involved with the social scene, but was not, and was at times an outcast. But with a little fixer-upper, maybe contacts instead of glasses, a good hair cut, and some confidence, and you have a modern day successful beauty who is laughing at said head cheerleader all the way to the bank. Not to mention she is now being chirped at by all the boys from the basketball team. She's the Laney Boggs of the real world. (If you don't know Laney Boggs, do yourself a favor and watch one of the only decent chick flicks with Rachel Leigh Cook starring in She's all That)

10 weeks into the season, San Diego is the team that peaked in high school. They are 4-5, some had them picked to go to/win the super bowl before the season started. They beat the Chiefs this week by 1 pt, mostly because the Chiefs are as miserable at football as my friend Leo at Buck Hunter. Is Ladanian Tomlinson the next Shaun Alexander, dominate the NFL for 2-3 years and two years later be a free agent looking for a one year deal? Please tell me it isn't so LT! Maybe its time for a new coach in San Diego to motivate these stud players. Oh and they are in the second worst division in football.

Conversely, the Arizona Cardinals is this year's Laney Boggs, a goal line stand to stop them from losing to the 49ers, Kurt Warner in the running for MVP halfway through the season, a WR corps second to none in the NFL, and a flashy new RB in Tim Hightower who has "Edged" out Edgerrin James in only 9 games in the league. Yes they play in a weak division, but when is the last time Arizona hosted a playoff game, I'm not even going to bother wikipedia for the answer! It will happen this year!

This week's Power of 5

1. Titans- Still undefeated still #1
2. Giants- Dominating the most competitive division, is Eli ready to repeat?
3. Panthers- Great defense, and a running game only getting stronger
4. Patriots- learning how to win w/out brady = eating clock like it's Tiramisu
5. Redskins- if Clinton Portis is healthy, they will be dangerous
