We are the champions...DocMcG and I, that is. Week ten proved a difficult week for football prophets--there are a lot of injuries this time of year, you know. Keys to victory for me included taking the underdog Saints, Cardinals, and Bengals, while DocMcG rode to the winner's circle on the backs of favorites and the homedog Cards. Congratulations, and some words from DocMcG himself--still champion after winning both weeks nine and ten--are in order.

I'd like to thank all the little people who made my great triumph possible. Donovan McNabb, Bret Favre, Peyton Manning and all the others who worked so hard with so little recognition so that I could reach this lofty peak. This week I would especially like to thank Terrell Owens. I know most people haven't heard of him, but it appears that, although he said he wouldn't be able to show up for work because of a pressing engagement, he quickly put that other stuff behind him and did a quiet but effective job of affirming my place as champion.
