Week 17: Final Game

1. Imagine the Ugliest Streaker Can you imagine the ugliest possible streaker running in slow-motion, across your front lawn, and not being able to take your eyes off the action.

Week 10

1. The Shane Game Last week we warned you that QB Shane Matthews might be losing his grip on the starting job. Against the Jaguars, Matthews brought back painful memories of the ghosts-of-quarterbacks-past.
