And from today's guest writer...

From Patrick Dunne, a co-worker of mine from the Philly area and a Penn State Alumni. Being an Eagles fan, he's looking at options in the AFC to root for. Gotta admit - in spite of the Pats injury problems, I only need to look at Philly to see a team with even worse issues. Here are Mr. Dunne's observations...

My family is considering adopting an AFC team after last week.

Up for the job:
Bills – They've got Troy Vincent, one of the best cornerbacks ever to wear the Eagles jersey. Plus they too have freezing cold home games.
Chargers – Great weather would make for great road trips! Also they're a decent team and after Week 6, we own them.
Chiefs – They've got one of the greatest Philly coaches in Dick Vermeil, who still owns a house in the 'burbs.

Um, we'll call you… :
Browns – Being sworn enemies of Pittsburgh is a plus, but they're nothing special.
Colts – They have a great quarterback and Corey Simon, but it's a bandwagon team and we're above that … until they beat the Patriots, that is…
Ravens – Ray Lewis might be the only linebacker up for another Body-Bag Game. Only strike is that they suck right now and are too close to the Redskins.
Steelers – Tempting because they're also a Pennsylvania, blue collar team with Duuuuuuuce. But they're right down the pike...
Titans – Coach competed with Andy Reid for the Eagles position, so he can't be all-bad. But the team is just so-so.

Hahahahaha:
Bengals – No matter how good they are, they're still the Bungles in my mind, plus they have Carson Palmer who beat Larry Johnson (Penn State) for the Heisman Trophy in 2003.
Broncos – Never forget, Plummer (and the Cardinals) made us look like fools in 2002 and 2005. Plus, he's a shaggy, shady redneck who probably lives in a trailer next to the stadium.
Jaguars – Remember the Superbowl? Neither do I, thank god for repressed memories, but I heard it was in Jacksonville.
Patriots – Never support a team that beat you in a Superbowl, even if you can't remember it.
Raiders – See "Patriots"
Texans – Close enough to Dallas to be contaminated.
