1-1 for the weekend. You underestimate the passion with which the
Cowboys play against the Redskins, especially at home. :) I hope for
your sake that your record for this week improves in the next 30
minutes.
(BTW, I'm happy with the outcome of both games.)

I don't care about that one.

That would be cool.

Go Vick! :)

I hope you're right on the first, and I'd rather you were wrong on the
second, but I'm not very optimistic about that one. (Don't care for the
Ravens. Or, at least, I *really* don't care for their owner.)

OK.

Yay to the first, boo to the second.

On the first, at the rate things are going, you're right, and I'm not
*entirely* happy with it, but it's not like the Jets are beating the
Patriots this afternoon or anything. [1]

I'm not sure who I'll be rooting for tonight, and I'm hoping that the
Raiders clean New York's clock. >:)
[1] I have this ranking of teams that makes it easier for me to decide
on the fly who to root for, at least in professional games; my ranking
of the AFC East goes New England, Miami, Buffalo, New York, but the
Miami/Buffalo order isn't necessarily set in stone (as opposed to the
other two!), and could change from year to year. This year, I've got
the thing of, well, I like Miami! -- but Buffalo has Bledsoe -- but
Miami has Ricky Williams! -- but -- but -- but -- ARGH! :) (I won't be
as disappointed if Miami loses as I would be if, say, the Cowboys had
followed John's prediction for this week, but it'll be a very mild
sorrow, to be forgotten tomorrow night, as we have a Major Disagreement
in the livingroom, details available only if requested.)
