DAL - Hi, coach
DEN - "We're looking at Number One in the AFC West now, and we have that loss to SFO to think about all summer."

And here they come..
SEA - yup
PHI - Why did they break up what was potentially the greatest qb platoon of all time? Outkast meets Phish; Outkast wins.
CAR - as usual. Sometimes here in Mass I can get the Carolina station, because here on the South Coast its just flat water between here and there. I'm a Wake Forest football fan now.

Sleep Monitor

Chinese New Year's happens at Super Bowl time and it affects how I think about the playoffs. It switched from Dog >>> Pig this year, at the Chicago - Indianapolis Super Bowl. This is the year of the pig, so McNabb, Jeff Garcia should do well, Detroit looking for a better year. Dolphins are just "Sea Pigs" so they might be excited.

It goes Pig >>> Rat at the Arizona game next February, so that transition looks ok for Oakland to look at a late season run, maybe they will push coachless San Diego around; Pig to Rat is also a Jets look, and of course Jacksonville is "Rat City" - at least, I have an MRR advertisement for a JAX hc compilation record advertising that fact.

Rat >>> Cow in 08 - 09 , its Tom Brady time again. There's a story, how this zodiac started; Buddha himself was down by the river and decided he was ready to start his "talk show", and he called the animals. The cow was the best animal and was in the lead and the rat was on its back; the rat jumped off right before they arrived so the rat is the first one.

During the Vietnamese War in the '60s, some natives of Vietnam used the phrase "Pig Dog" to call out Americans; it was derogatory because they were saying the Americans were traveling in reverse gear, moving from position 12 to position 11 in the zodiac. Its kind of affectionate to be called anything at all sometimes, the Vietnamese have the strongest tradition of fighting heroes.
