    Thank you, good sir, I knew you might appreciate that one.

    When he's on top of his game, there's no one I like to watch more than Peyton Manning. And he was sharp tonight. That second touchdown catch by Marvin Harrison, though, was the best tonight. Damn fine catch.

    As for the Patriots, seeing them lose never gets old. Then again, this wasn't in January.

    Better get Einstein in here for the quantum physics of that scenario.

    Eight-second orgasm vs. 12-inch dong = ejaculation in a time worp of some sort.

    Junkie, are you trying to go from intelligent to moronic in a week's time?

    And there's not enough poking fun at the Vikings, who had a chance to pick up a game on the Bears but instead lost to the Niners.

    If Ben throws incomplete out of bounds on that third-and-19 pass, Steelers try a punt for the coffin corner there because they had no chance for a field goal from the 42. Ben threw a pick, Broncos take over at their own 3.

    Just as good as a punt, given the context of the situation.

    Amen, brother. As soon as the Pats lost, I shot of a taunting email to Billy about the Pats and some other of his BS 'wisdom,' including his continuing gambling 'advice.' The guy's getting outpicked by his wife on the NFL for God's sakes, and he went out like a biotch in the first round of the World Series of Poker. I mean, Jen Tilly could last longer than that. Yet this guy is treated like a knowledgable bettor? What a joke. Farcical. Must be nice to be a blogger for more than 200K a year.

    The other turnovers -- Wilson at the Denver 5, Ward at the goal line, Ben's first pick -- hurt or killed the team. The one we're debating didn't.

    I don't understand the logic of continually throwing at the team's best cornerback one week after the other CB was toasted repeatedly, but Big Ben must have had his reasons.

    If you had 12 1 inch dicks you'd be a sex god. Unfortunately, your 1/12th there.

    I know it's early, but shouldn't Jack Del Rio make Garrard the official starter?

    Ha!. Now that was a good one.

    Seriously, the guy threw 54 passes yesterday, so some of them were going to be at Champ Bailey. Manning threw at him some the week before, too.

    Roethlisberger definitely cost the Steelers a couple of games this season, most notably vs. Oakland and Jacksonville, but you can't hang that one yesterday on him.

    His receivers fumbled twice inside the Broncos' 10, one of them at the one-yard line, and Santonio Holmes handed the Broncos the ball at the Pittsburgh 10 with another fumbled kick return.

    The Steelers also missed a makeable field goal, gave up a 72-yard run due to crappy tackling on a reverse on which they weren't really fooled and made Javon Walker look like Jerry Rice and Randy Moss all rolled into one because Ike Taylor couldn't make a play all day.

    Roethlisberger had a better Sunday than the sainted Tom Brady.

    The bonehead move of the week/year was Parcells going for 2 in the first half. If they get the 1, the Cowboys win, and 5-3 looks a lot different than 4-4. If they miss the playoffs by a game, despite all the TO theatrics and the QB switch, he'll have no one to blame but himself.

    Not surprisingly, Peter King thought Parcells made the right move and also advocates going for 2 all the time:

    MMQB quote: "My theory on going for two: If I have a mobile quarterback and receivers I trust, I'd do it every time -- unless, of course, you need a point to tie or win late in the fourth quarter of a game."

    And I'll have to go back to the Halloween candy thread, but I don't recall seeing Fritos on the list of all time Halloween faves. More from MMQB:

    "This is a true story: I'm alternately working and giving out the Halloween treats (bags of chips, Doritos, Fritos) Tuesday night in Jersey suburbia, and a boy of about nine comes to the door. He looks into the bag of stuff I've got and says, "What's this crap?! Where's the candy?''"

    On the plus side, King does point out, though, that the new National Anthem (as interpreted by John Mellencamp) was aired 4 times in 37 minutes on the Sunday night game.
