NFL Power Rankings: Week 4

1. Cincinnati Bengals (3-0): These guys are simply on a roll. Carson Palmer is looking good, the rest of the offense is clicking, and they just beat the defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Gotta tell you, Cincinnati is for real. I mean Super Bowl Real.

2. Indianapolis Colts (3-0): Peyton Manning over the last 3 weeks has been playing as well as anybody, and on top of that, his receivers are playing well, and the defense is looking pretty darn good. I know it's early, but Indy looks like last season, only more determined.

3. Chicago Bears (3-0): The Defense is insane, and holding off a tough Minnesota team in Minnesota just proves my point that they are an easy lock for the NFC title game.

4. Baltimore Ravens (3-0): Scary D, good offense, and confidence is why this team has a good shot at making some noise this year. I still have some concerns with Steve McNair's durability, but at the present time nobody wants to run into these guys. (A stat worth Noting: Opponents average less than 7 points a game right now).

5. Seattle Seahawks (3-0): Every week they look stronger, and more confident. They'll definantly be tested this Sunday against the undefeated Bears. I tell you what, whoever wins that game is gonna be brimming with confidence.

6. San Diego Chargers (2-0): They are looking unstoppable, and LT is rushing like crazy and Phillip Rivers has confidence. The only thing, is they've only played bullshit Oakland and crappy Tennessee. This week is at Baltimore. That oughta test'em.

7. New Orleans Saints (3-0): I still can't believe it's real, but it is. The Saints are 3-0 and they slaughtered (yeah, that's right, slaughtered) the Atlanta Falcons 23-3 on Monday Night, if you don't think they're real, you're a pansy.

8. Atlanta Falcons (2-1): Losing to New Orleans in New Orleans was not easy considering the fact that New Orleans was (and still is) undefeated, and that it was the first game back in the Super Dome since Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans was all emotional, and determined to win for the city, so the fact that they won does not surprise me. What surprises me is the way Atlanta let New Orleans run all over them. Monday Night showed us the weak areas of this football team.

9. Minnesota Vikings (2-1): Listen, I know they just lost, but the way they battled Chicago, and kept it close against one of the top 5 teams in the NFL earns these boys a top 10 rank. The only concern for this team is Brad Childress is new to the whole "Coaching Thing" and Brad Johnson is old for QB standards, but those are just minor things to worry about. The key thing is they look sharp.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1): Losing to Indy was a friendly reminder to them about who's division the AFC South is. The AFC south is still Indy's and if they want to win the division, they'll have to practically wrestle Indy for it.

11. Denver Broncos (2-1): They're starting to turn the corner here, but they still need more production from Jake Plummer.

12. Philadelphia Eagles (2-1): Maybe Donovan McNabb was right when he said this team has what it takes to win the NFC East. I still think it will be tough for Philly, but with the way they're playing, it's hard to go against that notion.

13. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2): Yeah, the Record aint so pretty now, but Cincinnati is a tough opponent. The only concern for these guys is schedule (@ San Diego, @ Atlanta, Baltimore twice, @ Cincinnati, Denver, and @ Carolina). I'm not saying that they can't make a run with that schedule, but boy it'll be tough.

14. New England Patriots (2-1): They really could have used that win against Denver, because next stop is Cincinnati. Do you think Tom Brady wishes he had Deion Branch for that Matchup?

15. St. Louis Rams (2-1): They Beat Denver, Lose to SF, and then Beat Arizona. They look inconsistent right now, but with Mike Martz and his precious "Dandy" Lions coming to town, expect carnage to be all over the Detroit sidelines.

16. Dallas Cowboys (1-1): Terrel Owens just can't seem to get out of the media. This weeks T.O. suicide debate does not seem to be a good omen for this border line Dallas Team.

17. New York Giants (1-2): Eli Manning is playing pretty damn well right now. Too bad Seattle beat them. That was a tough nail to have to step on.

18. Carolina Panthers (1-2): Struggling against Tampa Bay was pretty weak. Yeah they beat them, but Tampa Bay is chicken-shit. Listen, don't be surprised if New Orleans beats them in Carolina this Sunday. I'm not saying they are gonna lose (and I'm not off the Panther hope train),
but come on, they've gotta wake up and accept the fact that they are in a hole.

19. New York Jets (2-1): They look good, but with iffy wins against Buffalo and Tennessee, you know that this weeks game against the Colts is not gonna be pretty.

20. Arizona Cardinals (1-2): The Hype is sort of on hold for me right now, I'm not willing to sell it, but they just seem to be a year's off from playoff contention. That being said, if they beat Atlanta on Sunday, the stock could be bought.

21. Buffalo Bills (1-2): Beating Miami doesn't say much, and losing to an ok New England team and a sketchy Jets team isn't much to boast about.

22. Kansas City Chiefs (0-2): Look for the Chiefs to get off the Snag and beat the 49ers this week. But still, there's a lot of concerns with this team, and Trent Green's status is a top the list.

23. Washinton Redskins (1-2): They really aren't showing me much, the loss to Minnesota was rough, and Dallas apparently was to hard to handle, and beating the Texans is like Beating a drum, it creates rhythm. Jacksonville will beat them like a drum this week fo sho!

24. Miami Dolphins (1-2): I bought the hype, and I gotta tell you, I want a refund.

25. San Francisco 49ers (1-2): They may not be the best team, but they've got the NFL's most improved QB. I gotta say, Alex Smith is worlds better than last year.

26. Cleveland Browns (0-3): They may be playing like shit, but they will beat Oakland on Sunday.

27. Green Bay Packers (1-2): Beating Detroit says nothing about this team except, they beat Detroit.

28. Detroit Lions (0-3): Matt Millen needs to get fired, and the whole team needs to get started from scratch. These guys suck.

29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-3): What went wrong? Playoffs last year, no wins right now. It sucks.

30. Tennesee Titans (0-3): You know what, they should start Vince Young. What else can they do to keep their fans intersted in their games?

31. Houston Texans (0-3): Still allowing the most points in the NFL and Mario Williams has zero sacks. This pick is looking ever more puzzling.

32. Oakland Raiders (0-2): These guys are shit.

The Nasty Truth

1. Ever had a Girl come up to and say something nice to you out of the blue?
(The Nasty Truth: She feels sorry for you because she thinks your disfuntional)

2. Did you just win a platinum TV from a cool pop up on your computer?
(The Nasty Truth: The whole add was a
scam and if they made u give out name, address, phone number, etc., your totally screwed now)

3. Just find out your going to a great top-rated University?
(The Nasty Truth: Your college experience is gonna suck. Let's face it, great Universities are full of nerdy students and nerdy professors. What do nerds love? Homework and lots of study time. If your going to a great University to better yourself, beware that there will be a lot of work and half-way through college you'll probably be demanding a transfer. But then at that point you'll think to yourself "I'm half-way through college! Suck it up! What a wimp I am! I just have 4 more freaking semesters and I'm out of this rats nest." Once you reach this point, life could not get any lower. At this point, your girlfriend or boyfriend has lost interest in you, you've just found out that what you've been studying for the last two years is nothing but bullshit, and that that freaking Psychology class you've been taking is never gonna apply to you again in your life and you might as well get a job at a local bakery because it is conceivable that you never will actually graduate. This is when your life gets really dismal. Bakery, tons of homework, no mate, and absolutely no time do have any fun. But hey, don't take it from me, have a great time in college. I'm sure things will only be worse.)

4. Were your parents nice enough to give you the old family station wagon to drive?
(The Nasty Truth: The car is shit. Listen up, what will happen is your parents are pretty much saying "If you wreck this car, fine by us. We want a new car." So, after about 3 months, the family gets a better car (that you can't drive since you already have your own car), and at this point your car is in need of an oil change, new tires, a new driving wheel (since you've yanked at it so many times), a fresh coat of paint, and maybe new headlights or a bumper (I'm assuming you've been in at least one nasty crash). Plus, this is a real slap in the face because your parents are pretty much telling you "We don't want you driving a nice car" i.e. "We think you'd crash the damn thing into a pole or a fire hydrant that will flood the streets". So in essence, if your parents give you a car but it looks like it's been used, your parents think you're a horrid driver.)

5. Did your Grandmother or Grandfather tell you they're really proud of you and they think the very best of you?

(The Nasty Truth: Your Grandfather/Grandmother is dying in a few days. Listen, old people never say anything nice like that unless they are 100% sure they're not going to be around in 10 days or so. It's sort of like "something they have to do". So, If you want your grandfather/grandmother to live till they are 102, keep pissing them off. It works.)

6. Did you just win a contest with a lot of people in it?

(The Nasty Truth: The contest was rigged. Listen, never assume the best, always the worst. If you win something, make sure that nobody is tainting it for you. If it's something that is drawn out of a hat, it's definently rigged. No doubt. If it's a scholarship give away, it's definently rigged whether your rich or poor. If your rich, it's rigged because your rich and rich kids always get what they want. If your poor it just means it's rigged because some people think your so desperate for help that only a rigged contest can decide the fate of your education.)

7. Did your child just speak for the first time?

(The Nasty Truth: Your child still has no idea what the hell your saying, and it has no relavance to your kids inteligence. It'll be years before your child actually can speak real english. No, your child is not smarter than Joanne's kid who still can't spell CAT. The reality is, a childs inteligence can not be determined until they are 10 years old. If your 10 year old can't read at all, count to 5 or spell CAT, then you have a dumb kid on your hands. If your child is 10 and they can read, count to 1000 and spell IDIOSYNCRATIC, your child still isn't smarter than Joanne's kid. Listen, all the stereotypical means of measuring a persons inteligence (mathematics, spelling, reading, and understanding directions) is only 25% of what they need to know for the long term. Yes, Joanne's kid can't spell cat, but he may be able to hop over fences at astounding speeds or kick every kids ass in Madden (including your precious prodigy). So, if your kid just spoke for the first time, act like they spoke for the last time, because it doesn't matter, and nobody gives a shit.)

8. Did your little boy or girl come home with an "A" on a paper or test?

(The Nasty Truth: The next test could easily be an "F". Look, your child still can't tie their shoes. Your child isn't smart. Listen gradeschoolers grades are like roller coasters. They're either really good at something or they are totally oblivious to what the hell is going on. Just be prepared to call your child dumb.)

9. Did you just wake up feeling like life is great?

(The Nasty Truth: It's not your still sleeping or your on crack.)

10. Did you just save a bunch of money on your car insurance?

(The Nasty Truth: Knowing murphy's law, you'll probably get in the nastiest car accident of your life, and pay over the roof money to fix your car and the car you damaged (come on, you'll be responsible), and your insurance will cost more than it did before).


The whole purpose of this article was to say If life's going good, something bad is gonna happen. "Good Night"-- Benjamin

NFL Power Rankings: Week 3

1. Atlanta Falcons (2-0): These guys made both Carolina and Tampa Bay look silly. They've outscored Carolina and Tampa Bay a combined 34-9! That's scary good. With the defense looking strong, and Michael Vick looking confident, watch out for these guys, they're for real.

2. Chicago Bears (2-0): The Defense is just wicked scary right now, allowing only 7 points so far this year. But what's even more scary is they're scoring. Yeah, they're averaging 30 points a game right now, and to cap that off, Rex Grossman has a passer rating of 128.7! I'm not saying that will last, but come on, that's impressive.

3. Cincinnati Bengals (2-0): The offense is looking very strong and the defense is holding its own. Carson Palmer looks confident, and you can tell it rubs off on to his teammates. This week they face the Steelers, let's see what challenge Pittsburgh can be for this killer Cincinnati offense.

4. Indianapolis Colts (2-0): Peyton Manning is playing fabulous right now, but the defense is a little weak, and the running game is yet to be proven effective. Very interesting to see how Indy does against Jacksonville this weekend.

5. Seattle Seahawks (2-0): After getting scared against the Detroit Lions, they responded pretty well in their win against the Cards last Sunday. I think these guys are starting to get things clicking.

6. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-0): Remember last week when I said we'd find out how good these guys are once they face the Steelers? Well we just found out how good they are. They're really good. They beat the Steelers 9-0 at their own game with lock down defense and tenacity. This team is looking pretty tough right now.

7. San Diego Chargers (2-0): They look pretty confident rolling over Oakland and Tennessee, but like Phillip Rivers said, It's gonna get a lot tougher than Oakland and Tennessee.

8. Baltimore Ravens (2-0): The Defense looks really good right now, and they are scoring points. They may not be the best in the AFC North, but they're gonna give Pittsburgh and Cincinnati a run for their money this year in this division.

9. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1): The defense looks like they haven't missed a beat since last season, but the offense looked rather sluggish on Monday against the Jaguars. If they want to compete for the AFC crown, they've gotta put some points on the board.

10. New England Patriots (2-0): They seem to be looking strong right now, as they enter an important matchup against Denver. It's gonna be interesting to see how they will do without Deion Branch and Adam Vinatieri. I think as long as they have Tom Brady, they'll be fine.

11. Minnesota Vikings (2-0): Beating Washington by a field goal on Monday Night Football, and then beating Carolina in O.T. by a field goal may not be the most solid 2-0 start, but nonetheless, they are 2-0. This week they'll have to face the Bears, which will tell us a lot about how good Minnesota really is.

12. New York Giants (1-1): Coming back like that in the fourth quarter against the Eagles was impressive, but it did raise a lot of questions about how good these guys actually are. If they can beat Seattle on the road this week, those questions could be erased.

13. New Orleans Saints (2-0): I gotta say, the Saints are playing pretty well right now. Drew Brees is playing decent with an 84.4 passer rating, Reggie Bush is doing a good job at racking up the all purpose yards with receptions, punt returns, and the rushing yards. The only concern I have, is they barely beat Green Bay and Cleveland, both of which are weak teams. *Note: both wins were on the road.

14. St. Louis Rams (1-1): They beat Denver, they lose to SF. I don't know what to belive, but I do know that if they don't beat the Cards on Sunday, there's gonna be some Rams who will be wetting their pants.

15. Dallas Cowboys (1-1): Luckily for them, T.O.'s injury could end up not hurting them at all thanks to a bye week this week, and a game against the Titans the following week. Plus, they're tied for the division lead in a 3 way tie. Things could be a lot worse in Tuna Town.

16. Denver Broncos (1-1): Beating Kansas City by 3 last week without a Touchdown in Overtime is a lucky break for a team that very well could be 0-2.

17. Philadelphia Eagles (1-1): They beat Houston easily, they hand the Giants a victory, I don't know which Eagle team to believe. But there's one thing I do know, Donovan McNabb is playing great right now. The game against San Francisco sounds easy this week, but they better not sleep on Alex Smith and the rest of the 49ers.

18. Arizona Cardinals (1-1): The offense has been the talk of this team all summer long, yet Seattle shuts their offense down. Sunday's game against the Rams is crucial for the Kurt Warner and the Cardinals if they want to make a statement.

19. San Francisco 49ers (1-1): I'm just as shocked as you are to rank the 49ers this high, but I gotta say, Alex Smith is throwing well and with confidence and Frank Gore is running his heart out. I'm not throwing any predictions out there about these guys, but right now it appears there will be definite progress in 'frisco this year.

20. Buffalo Bills (1-1): They look better than I expected. Scaring New England, thumping the Dolphins. Looks like it could be a better year for the Bills.

21. New York Jets (1-1): Chad Pennington is looking better. If they want to keep the dream alive, they have to beat Buffalo this Sunday (in Buffalo).

22. Carolina Panthers (0-2): I'm stunned that they are 0-2, but they indeed are 0-2, and if they don't get their act together Sunday against the Bucs, you can kiss Super Bowl dreams good bye. (Note: It might help if Steve Smith were healthy).

23. Washington Redskins (0-2): Listen up, they're only one game back of the division, yet three teams are ahead of them. They have to beat the Texans this week, and I expect that they will, but if they don't look for another projected playoff team to flush their season down the toilet.

24. Kansas City Chiefs (0-2): I was thinking playoffs with these guys. It looks bleak, but their is good news, this week's a bye and then they play San Francisco at home. They should be fine, but nonetheless they have to feel concerned.

25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-2): They've been outscored by Atlanta and Baltimore 3-41. The defense is weak but where the hell is the offense? Let me leave it at this, Chris Simms just aint cuttin' it for me right now or the Bucs.

26. Miami Dolphins (0-2): Losing to Pittsburgh was a tough one to swallow, losing to the Bills by 10 points was just horrid. Maybe the Daunte Cullpepper experiment won't work out.

27. Detroit Lions (0-2): They looked strong against Seattle, and then got posterized by the Bears. I don't know what to think of the Lions, but I will say this, if they don't beat Green Bay on Sunday, there's going to be a lot of problems.

28. Green Bay Packers (0-2): They look weak, but they play Detroit on Sunday. If they can beat Detroit, they can breath. They key question here is how is Brett Favre going to keep his attitude up with a team that really has no supporting cast for him?

29. Cleveland Browns (0-2): They look bad, but bare in mind, they were beat by a mysterious Saints team and a thunderous Bengals team. Fans of the good o'l dog pound shouldn't cry yet, they should be armed with hankerchiefs come Sunday, because "Baltimore is coming to town." (yeah, think of the song if you like).

30. Tennessee Titans (0-2): At the rate their going, Vince Young will have to start in week 5.

31. Houston Texans (0-2): How does that #1 draft pick look now? You guys have allowed the most points in the NFL after two games! That's just shit.

32. Oakland Raiders (0-2): Oh boy, where do I start? How about getting rid of Al Davis!

NFL Power Rankings: Week 2

Every Friday, I'll rank all the teams in the NFL from #1-32 based on their performances up to the upcoming week. Ready for the rankings? Here we go.

1. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0): These guys beat a Dolphin team that's supposed to be a good team. Doing that opening night is impressive. Doing it without QB Ben Roethlisberger is even more impressive. What that shows, is that this Pittsburgh team is still primarily a defensive team, which is always the anchor to a Super Bowl contender.

2. Atlanta Falcons (1-0): I know that the absence of Steve Smith made it easier for the Falcons to beat the Panthers, but still, whooping the Panthers 20-6 in Carolina with Michael Vick playing well can't be anything but a good omen for the Atlanta Falcons.

3. Cincinnati Bengals (1-0): Carson Palmer's healthy, they kicked Kansas City's ass, and they're feeling strong. Watch out for the Bengals as the season goes on.

4. Indianapolis Colts (1-0): Beating the N.Y. Giants in New York to start the season without Edgerin James as a Colt has to make Peyton Manning and the Colts feel pretty excited.

5. Chicago Bears (1-0): Crushing the Green Bay Packers 26-0 isn't so impressive, as it is an early sign that the NFC North Div. is theirs.

6. Seattle Seahawks (1-0): These guys are the defending NFC Champs, and the Detroit Lions give them a scare. It's time for the Seahawks to wake up and smell the air of a new NFL season. The addition of Deion Branch should help them wake up.

7. San Diego Chargers (1-0): I know that crushing the Oakland Raiders 27-0 on Monday Night may not say a whole lot since Oakland's a farce, but you gotta think that it's a great way to boost QB Phillip River's confidence.

8. Baltimore Ravens (1-0): I gotta say, did this Baltimore team make those guys down in Tampa Bay look baffled or what? Tampa Bay looked like a J.V. football team last sunday. Largely beacause of that scary Baltimore Defense lead by Ray Lewis.

9. New England Patriots (1-0): They lose Deion Branch, Adam Vinatieri, Willie McGinest, and other parts of their team, and yet Tom Brady still finds a way to win. They're not Super Bowl bound by any means, but don't be surprised if you see these guys hanging around in January.

10. St. Louis Rams (1-0): Beating Denver 18-10 just might an early sign of a St.Louis team that is playoff bound.

11. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0): You wanna know if these guys are for real? We'll see Monday night when they take on Pittsburgh.

12. Philadelphia Eagles (1-0): Donvan McNabb looked great on Sunday, and for Philly fans, that means the world to them.

13. Carolina Panthers (0-1): I had no idea that losing Steve Smith would make these guys forget it was Sunday. Time for the Panthers to show their Super Bowl contender side.

14. Minnesota Vikings (1-0): Winning on Monday Night against the Washington Redskins thanks to an undisciplined Washington Defense and a chicken-shit kicker may not sound like much of a win, but hey, on the road in Washington, you'll take any win.

15. New York Giants (0-1): Eli Manning actually had a better passer rating then his big brother Peyton. But at the end of the day, W's are all that matter, and if you were to ask Eli, he'd agree.
16. Miami Dolphins (0-1): Losing to Pittsburgh when Pittsburgh lacked "Big Ben" was a missed opprotunity to show the world they can ball.
17. Arizona Cardinals (1-0): Beating the 49ers by only seven points is not an encouraging sign for a team thinking playoffs, but hey, you'll take any win.

18. New Orleans Saints (1-0): Beating Cleveland 19-14 at Cleveland is a good start for this New Orleans team that needs hope. When Reggie Bush has 141 yards in receiving, rushing, and punt returning combined, you know that's a good sign. Their next game is against the gunky Green Bay Packers. Look for a 2-0 New Orleans start.

19. Denver Broncos (0-1): I thought Super Bowl was on their minds. If it is, they can't lose to St. Louis.

20. Kansas City Chiefs (0-1): Losing Trent Green for two weeks or more really sucks for these guys since they still rely on their offense.

21. Washington Redskins (0-1): These guys gotta be more disciplined if they want to contend for the NFC East title.

22. Dallas Cowboys (0-1): Did Drew Bledsoe look bad or what? That can't be good for the Terrell Owens-Drew Bledsoe experiment.

23. Detroit Lions (0-1): They came out fired up, played their hearts out (with the heart of a Lion) and of course lost by 3 points in a heart-shattering loss to the defending NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks. Their next game is against the Bears. If they got balls, and beat Chicago (which won't happen) then I can call them men.

24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-1): These boys looked like fools last sunday against the Ravens. QB Chris Simms has got to step it up if he wants his team to be taken seriously.

25. N.Y. Jets (1-0): They beat the Titans, big deal. That being said, Chad Pennington looking strong is a good sign.

26. Buffalo Bills (0-1): They lost to the Patriots beacuse of a safety. That's gonna be the story of this team all year long; dumb mistakes.

27. Cleveland Browns (0-1): If they can't beat the Saints, who can they beat? Be ready for a long year in Cleveland.

28. San Francisco 49ers (0-1): As bad as they are, seeing QB Alex Smith hook up with rookie Tight End Vernon Davis for a Touchdown is an excellent sign for this 49er team. Look for brighter things in SF this year.

29. Houston Texans (0-1): I don't see Mario Williams being the answer to this team. These guys need a lot more help.

30. Tennesee Titans (0-1): If they can't beat the Jets, that's horrible. Look out for a tough year down in Tennessee.

31. Green Bay Packers (0-1): Losing 0-26 to the Bears on Sunday can't help but raise the question "Why is Brett Favre still playing?"

32. Oakland Raiders (0-1): Opening Night in the Black Hole, late Monday Night, and they can't even score a field goal. What a lousy performance by a lousy Raiders team. Art Shell better whoop his team into shape beacuse they looked scared to play football.
