Chris and Seth:

Thanks for making me feel better about being a social pariah. I will watch Saturday night's Saints-Eagles game alone, in the dark, with no shame. If the Saints win, I will pour a Tropical Blizzard on my head. If the Saints lose, I will pour a vat of hot chicken andouille gumbo on my head.

I agree with Chris that the Chargers are a mighty impressive bunch, and I look forward to seeing if Philip Rivers has the innate clutch quarterbacking skill of Jeff Hostetler and Mark Rypien. And if that Wall Street Journal article is to be believed, I suppose it's possible that Rex Grossman will be the greatest clutch quarterback in NFL history. So, maybe there is one reason to turn on the Seahawks-Bears game. Against my better judgment, I'll probably be watching.

Good luck out there,
Josh
