But if the Giants' can't beat Young -- a Tennessee Titans castoff whose solitary pass this season before Sunday's game was an interception -- then how do they plan on winning against the three hottest quarterbacks in the league? In the next three weeks they face New Orleans' Drew Brees, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and Dallas' revitalized Tony Romo.

Saints should match up well

Sean Payton, Saints coach. We use the term "rising" literally here. Although Payton was back on the sideline in the last game before the bye, he was on crutches and trying to stay out of harm’s way. But the leg and knee injuries that caused Payton to sit in the press box for three games are healing nicely. On Monday night against the Giants, Payton should be much more mobile, and that should help him get a better feel for the game.

Missouri, the best band in college-Chase Daniel

Too bad bands don't get air time anymore
I’d much rather watch the bands perform at half time than listen to three guys do highlights and redundantly go on and on with their analysis of the game. Remember when you could watch the bands at halftime? I do. My Mom is a huge Bama fan and never misses a game. That’s where she went to college and also performed in their Million Dollar Band. She goes on a rant every Bama halftime about how they don’t show the bands anymore. I agree with her, but try to convince the networks that there’s a better way to approach college halftime broadcasts. They won’t listen.

I remember seeing a T-shirt once that read:
“Without the band, it’s only a game.”
Worn by a band member, no doubt.
