Why am I not surprised that this promotional photo of Joe Buck appears to have been airbrushed? Is it in his contract that he must appear at all times with the soap opera filter?

Hopefully, this season Simms figures out that it isn't pronounced Cincinnatta Bingles.

I'll never forgive the Lions for losing the Great Lakes Classic to the Browns Saturday. That and the 0-16 season. That, too.

I was morbidly hoping (and somewhat expecting) Fox would give that Stockton-Davis team a test run in Tampa.

BTW, if you can get around the fact that he has trouble getting words out, John Lynch is a very good analyst and ought to have a bright future ahead of him in the world of broadcasting.

Good news: I get to see my Skins, since I'm in Eagirls country.

Bad news: Nantz and Simms, and Mike Patrick and Joe Thiesman, did the game against Pittsburgh over the weekend.

@GMoney, Simms is a redneck. Anyone who mispronounces the word "him" (as "heem") should not be paid to talk for a living.

And it's too bad Artie Lange didn't get paired up with Joe Buck. That's a stellar team.

Aikman needs to whack Buck in the face with the football.
