Megatron touchdowns make grown men do things they'll regret in the morning.

- Fred Jackson is posting some historic, potentially record-breaking, and–dare we say it–MVP caliber numbers.

- Justin Tuck would appreciate a phone call if Antonio Pierce has anything he’d like to say to him.

- Brady Quinn is the best boyfriend in the history of the world.
- The Eagles might bring in a defensive coaching consultant to help Juan Castillo, their struggling and inexperienced defensive coordinator.
