NFL News
Vikings' Troy Williamson takes personal time away from the team to attend services of his maternal grandmother. He did not play in that week's game and therefore, was not paid. Veteran players met with Head Coach Brad Childress. By midweek, Williamson received the withheld check, which he donated to charity.

Quote of the Week: "Steve Smith was seen weeping at the end of the game quite possible because he had to watch it," Keith Olberman of NBC's Sunday Night Football--Football Night in America.

Who knows ....

Driving home on a 70+ degree October day I saw a man in small shiny blue short runnning down the sidewalk. Bronze. Glistening. Didn't know whether I should be disgusted or rear end the car in front of me.

Earlier that same day i had pulled up to a light and an expensive, white sporty looking car pulled up next to me. I glanced at the plat for some reason to see ExPaid4. I questioned what type of person would flaunt it like that.

I love the Mercedes-Benz commercial where there a shot of the car and a simple voiceover "Why did/do we ..." and a sandy blond steps out from in or behind the car "Because we promised you a Mercedes-Benz, that's why"

I LOVE his voice and the way he says that!
