Another week of NFL mastery. Now, we’re convinced the Chicago Bears of 2005 are the same as the ones from the 2001 season. Nathan Vasher is the new Mike Brown. This is a team that seemingly has no offense, a great defense and it also has that little ounce of luck that will propel it to victories in the regular season—and a complete collapse in the playoffs. And we knew they wouldn’t cover. Books had to learn something about giving the 49ers that many points against a team with a less-than-mediocre offense.

And then we have the suddenly studly Chris Simms and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers(You know, the things under your buckin’ hat…zing!pow!)lighting up the Redskins defense for 36 without a running game. Shocking in that Halle Berry-has-13-toes sort of way. Overall, a 5-3 NFL weekend is nothing to start fellating ourselves over, but it’s certainly cause for an unzipping.

And in the NCAA, well, we think we learned our lesson about getting greedy against USC and Texas. We thought Kansas would basically play prevent defense the whole time with six defensive backs in order to prevent being down 52-0 at halftime. They were offended by that 34 point spread, no? Way to get fired up, boys. That loss catapulted us to a cringe-worthy 2-6 in NCAA this week. Shiver.

But, of course, we’re happy with the fact that this weekend we took the lead over the feisty little gambling pug over at American Gambling News. We’d say something along the lines of “Scoreboard!” to verbalize our cockiness, but we’re not sure if he wants to claim that highly original shit-talk for himself. We’ll just stick to the always effective “Eat it.”
