Ok, lets see what everyone thinks about this week. I admit I was horrible in my picks last week and only got 1 out of 4 right.

by Mark Finkelstein December 31, 2005 - 19:48. When a few years ago Rush Limbaugh suggested that the media, hoping for a black-quarterback success story, had over-rated Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb, ESPN fired him from its Sunday night football show. Can you imagine what the media would have done to Rush had he dared to employ the classically racial "feets don't fail me now" line?

T.O. will never be in an Eagles uniform again. EVER.

Former Broncos reflect on deeper meaning of success at Friday Forums Failure to give one's best more harmful than 'shallow' vision of success By Ed López As an eighth-round draft pick, Steve Foley was struck by the high quality of players the Denver Broncos had also drafted that year, causing his heart to sink. Foley knew he was a good player in college, but he had self-doubts at the Broncos training camp. "I wanted to leave," he recalled. "I wanted to go home where I felt comfortable."
