    stions about why I like the Bears so much this year? No? Nothing. Really?

    - Does anyone have any more questions about why I really didn’t like the Buccaneers at all this year? No? Not one. Honestly?

    - Home teams are just 17-15 thus far. Weird.

    - Minnesota has gotten it together because they – say it with me now – run the ball and play good defense. I love the philosophical shift and I would say that it has started to pay dividends.

    - Roy Williams is now 2-for-2 in the Completely Ridiculous Statements Department. I didn't think it could get any better than "We were 'this' close to scoring 40 points" comment after losing 9-6 to Seattle. Then he made "The Guarantee ". Incredible. It was great watching Urlacher hammer Roy Boy over the middle and start jawing at him.

    Oh, and at this rate Detroit should reach that magic 40-point barrier around Week 7.

    - That New Orleans offense really is multifaceted. I still have major questions about that defense, but the Saints really are a decent team. They’re tough to stop and Drew Brees clearly isn’t affected by the shoulder surgery.

    - How about the Buffalo Bills special teams? Bobby April is really the man. Brian Moorman dropped four absolutely perfect punts inside Miami’s 8-yard line, the Bills blocked a punt to set up

    Here are my nonsensical ravings about Week 2 in the National Football League:

    - The Miami Dolphins proved that they are still a gutless, undisciplined, weak-willed team. They got worked on Sunday – in their own house – by a team that just wanted it more. Every single indicator – historical trends, recent trends, injuries, etc. – pointed towards a huge Miami victory. But as I mentioned, I underestimated the blatant incompetence of Daunte Culpepper and the Miami Dolphins.

    Miami will win some games this year, but they are a joke team that will never win anything significant.

    - There were 11 divisional battles this past weekend. That made for a lot of heavy hitting. But what it also means is that there could be some letdowns in Week 3 (Giants perhaps?), as well as some battered and bloodied clubs (like Cincinnati).

    - By now it’s just piling on with John Fox. But watching the replay of that game you realize what a colossally ignorant decision that was and that play really could end up costing his team down the line. I love trick plays and all, but not when you’re up a touchdown, on the road, with a swarming defense, in the fourth quarter, with LESS THAN 10 MINUTES TO PLAY in the game! Amazing.

    - Through two weeks favorites are 21-11 against the spread. This is starting to look eerily similar to last season when the books were hammered when favorites covered at an unprecedented rate. Until the market corrects itself I would strongly consider curbing your plays to incorporate as many favorites as you possibly can.

    - But lucky me, I back the two favorites (Miami and Denver) that couldn’t cover last week. Absolutely amazing.

    For the second week in a row I lost one of my biggest plays of the week by half of a point. Hung on the hook, I suppose. This weekend it was a two-team teaser involving Denver – which I thought was a clear situation for the Broncos to flex some muscle. If you can’t beat a Huard at home, then what does that say about your team? Even with a full roster the Broncos averaged about a two-touchdown win over Kansas City at Invesco Field over the past few years. Brutal. Really brutal.

    - The more I see him the more I really like David Carr. He hasn’t developed any bad habits. And it would be very easy to while being stuck on that team. He delivers the ball right on the money and doesn’t ever show up his receivers when they’re dropping passes or his linemen when he’s scraping himself off the turf, yet again.

    - Have either Marvin Harrison or Warrick Dunn taken a hit since 2001? Seriously. As much as they handle the ball those two never seem to absorb monster shots.

    - It was a throwback weekend in Week 2. I say that because I heard the phrase “first time since…” quite a few times. Monday night was the first time since 1981 that a defending champion has been shut out. Or Ryan Longwell threw the tying touchdown pass and kicked the winning field goal for the first time since George Blanda back in 1970. And the Giants comeback was the first time since 1970 that they won a game in which they trailed by 17 points.

    - Speaking of the Steelers, they clearly made the wrong call starting Big Ben. Facing a bone-crunching Jacksonville defense was not the situation to bring back a guy early from appendix surgery. Especially since Charlie Batch played well last week. Ben was visibly scared in the pocket, ducking hits and throwing the ball up for grabs in the middle of the field. That’s not the fearless Roethlisberger that was guiding Pitt last season.

    - Jake Plummer is a dead stick. I wouldn’t touch him right now. I don’t think he ever has – or maybe ever will – recover from the AFC Championship meltdown. Throw in the Jay Cutler Situation and he is just a zombie out there. The first-team offense still hasn’t scored a touchdown against two not-so-great defenses. Plummer is missing his throws by a lot (that incompletion to Tony Scheffler in the end zone is a perfect example; and a costly one). He is truly a walking disaster right now.

    - Indianapolis owns an NFL-best 13-2 record in September since 2002 when Tony Dungy became the head coach. The Colts are now 21-4 against their division and have owned or shared a piece of the AFC South lead for 63 of a possible 70 weeks.

    - When the Giants hired Tom Coughlin in 2004, they were coming off a season when they set a team record with 127 penalties for 1,090 yards. Last year they obliterated that mark (143 for 1,115 yards) and thus far in 2006 they are on pace for 152 penalties for 1,112 yards.

    What I’m saying here is that we can stop this talk about what a disciplinarian Tom Coughlin is. In his first four years with the Jaguars his club averaged 119 penalties for 947 yards. With guys like Jeremy Shockey, Lavar Arrington and Plexico Burress leading the way the Giants are soft and undisciplined. They will do things to lose games instead of make plays to win them. And yes, that includes the Philadelphia game – one in which they had no business winning.

    - I thought Jim Nantz and Phil Simms were going to get in a little catfight over the overtime rules in that Denver-Kansas City game. Simms sounded like he was PMS-ing.

    5 Mistakes that Could Kill Your Article Marketing Strategy
    Article marketing is a well known strategy for bringing targeted traffic to a website, when done correctly. But if you don't understand the basics, then it will all be for nothing. Your business could suffer greatly if your article marketing strategy is flawed.Here are five common mistakes you must avoid:1. Boring TitlesIt doesn't matter how good your article marketing strategy is if nobody is interested enough to read your articles. The title is the first thing potential readers see, and if it doesn't interest them in a few seconds consider them gone. Make sure you spend a little time on a title that will pop right out at people. You need to catch their interest in the very beginning in order for them to read your article.2. Not Thinking About Your Readers FirstYour article internet marketing strategy is all about your readers. You want them to read your article, check out your resource box and visit your site. Give them what they want, and make sure they get some useful information from your articles.3. Not Having a Target AudienceA common error in an article marketing strategy is writing your article without thinking about who will be reading it. The article suffers as such because it was wr

    Customers For Life
    Who’s talking to your customers? Is it your competition? Why or why not? When you stop to think about it, these are valid questions. Most people rely on some sort of clientele for their business, and can improve on customer relations. A more holistic approach to this process incorporates the more global question:How can I create customers for life?Two main objectives in the “customers for life” program are getting repeat business and referrals from your clients. Amazingly, few people diligently pursue these objectives. Many studies have demonstrated that the cost to obtain a new client greatly exceeds the cost to obtain repeat business or referrals from existing clients. Some of the key concepts in mastering the “customer for life” notion include positioning yourself or your company in the mind of your customers as the valid solution to their problem, creating a relationship with your clients, and overtly soliciting referrals. Obviously the concepts can be adjusted depending on the type of industry one is in. Let’s examine each concept by itself.Assuming that a business agreement has been reached, it is important to continue to reinforce the idea that you are the continued, and ongoing solution to a challenge, in the client’s min

    Tithing or God's Grace - Which Prospers You? Part 3
    For years we have been taught that the way to prosper was by our giving. I submit to you it is by a deeper relationship with Jesus. Jesus will tell you what you need to do to prosper.The fact of the matter is still that everything you hear on Christian television says that it is according to your tithing and how much we give which causes you to prosper." If you don't sew you won't reap" is what they try to say. The trouble is most of the scriptures they use are being lifted out of thier setting making them say something that they are not at all talking about. They also use mostly old testament scriptures which were directed to servants of God who weren't born again. God treats his sons and daughters who have the nature of Christ in them a lot different than his old testament saints who had a death nature.The first point you may want to consider is what Jesus said in Matthew 6 "look at the birds of the air; they don't sew or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they." He went on to say "look how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass

    Make Your Own Website In Minutes! Here's How:
    Out of the six billion people who populate this planet, it is safe to assume that most of these six billion have access to the internet. People love the internet for a variety of reasons. Some people do all of their shopping through the web, while others make their living on the internet. Some use it to buy and sell stocks and others just like to use the internet for information. Most people who use the internet on a regular basis also use it to communicate with friends, family and others. It is by far the cheapest way to be heard and to advertise your product. The internet has steadily been taking over many industries, such as magazines and newsletters, newspapers, the stock market, retail, and more. Making a website for yourself could be a very good idea, no matter what the reason behind it.Making your own website can sound very hard and expensive, and you may be thinking something like, ‘why would I go through all that trouble? What would be the point to having my own website?’ There are a lot of good reasons to make your own website, and I think you will find that at least a couple of them apply to you. Making a website used to be somewhat difficult and also a bit expensive, but as the internet became more popular and more and more people

    - That New Orleans offense really is multifaceted. I still have major questions about that defense, but the Saints really are a decent team. They’re tough to stop and Drew Brees clearly isn’t affected by the shoulder surgery.

    - How about the Buffalo Bills special teams? Bobby April is really the man. Brian Moorman dropped four absolutely perfect punts inside Miami’s 8-yard line, the Bills blocked a punt to set up the clinching touchdown, and Buffalo managed nearly 15 yards per punt return. A completely dominating performance.

    - What the Atlanta Falcons have done in the first two games of the year is downright terrifying. They’ve rushed for 558 yards against Carolina and Tampa Bay. They’re averaging 46 rushes per game. I mean, these numbers are just staggering. Making it more impressive is the fact that the Panthers and Bucs were both ranked in the top six against the rush last year.

    Interestingly, it came out in the Tampa Bay game that Atlanta offensive coordinator Greg Knapp went back and analyzed footage of Vince Young at Texas and installed an option package for Vick. That shotgun option was devastating to the Bucs.

    - If there was a negative in the Atlanta game – and this may be nit picking but it does make a difference – it is that combo kicker Michael Koenen missed four field goals. And none of them were particularly difficult. Someone get Paul Edinger and Martin Grammatica on the line.

    - David Akers getting his ass kicked by the Giants bench may have been the highlight of my day on Sunday. Ah, kickers.

    - How hilarious is it when ESPN announcers and commentators are asking questions about how a team is “underrated” and “unknown by the national media”. I find it absurd. Um, maybe instead of running 18 features about the Manning brothers or Terrell Owens, you could actually talk some football. I think everybody except ESPN knew that Jacksonville was a good football team.

    But also, in lock-step, all the bobbleheads were out in full force today asking questions to the Jaguar players about being “unknown” or talking about whether they feel “disrespected”. I mean, it’s a joke. And absolute joke. And that’s why you should do your own research and don’t allow the bobblehead media to shape your opinions.

    - As you know by now, since 1992 only 13 percent of teams that started 0-2 have made the playoffs. On the flip side, 66 percent of teams that start 2-0 do make the playoffs.

    There are 11 teams at 2-0 this season and 11 teams at 0-2. Last season there were only seven and seven of each category. What this tells me is that this season the disparity between the good teams and the poor ones is going to be greater than it has been in recent years.

    - I’m sure Philadelphia Eagles fans are still in shock and are physically ill after that colossal collapse against New York. Andy Reid came out and tried to shoulder the blame for the loss, saying that he played it too conservative in the fourth quarter.

    But Reid wasn’t why the Eagles lost. The offensive line didn’t get a push on a crucial fourth-and-one in Giants territory with just over eight minutes left in the game. Then there was Westbook’s fumble that set up the Giants third touchdown. But the most crucial miscue of all was the 15-yard personal foul penalty on Trent Cole that set up Jay Feely’s overtime-forcing 35-yard field goal.

    If anyone played it too conservatively it was Jim Johnson. Reviewing the tape of that game, I counted only two times Johnson called for a blitz in the last half of the fourth quarter and in overtime. The Eagles got pressure with their front four all game, but the D-line was clearly winded and Johnson needed to do something to get Eli and the Giants out of rhythm.

    - Buffalo had -3 passing yards at halftime of its game against Miami. And they were still beating the Dolphins 3-0. Unreal. But I’m not still bitter.
