I got sick from some kind of flu late Monday, thus was not able to watch the second half of the Denver Monday night game. The flu decommissioned me for all of Tuesday, and then I was also out on Wednesday. I returned to work yesterday and had to play catch up in addition to helping put out a major work-related fire. So with some downtime now, here is the power rankings, Animal-Planet style.
1. Bill
The Grizzly Bear. The most complete and versatile predator, he can cause carnage or just feast on lollipops in the schedule. Equally at home pounding the ground with his hind legs named Turner and Jones-Drew or wiping the air with his big claws named Brees and Orton. Has huge reserves of energy in the form of all his Ravens players. And if you think bears aren't literally warriors, you would be wrong.
2. PJ
The Black Rhino. The ground is his domain. Peterson and Brown form the best pair of running backs in the league. While rhinos may be severely near-sighted and unable to type properly or identify girlfriends, they have other winning senses. PJ has really only put up one bad score, and he's been charging and leveling his opponents lately. The matchup of this week: Grizzly vs. Rhino
3. Kevin
The Hippo. Despite Kevin's attempt to have the image as the "gentle" Caucasian who doesn't like to harm animals with the "Omnivores" brand, he's really out to kill any who dare come across his path. This beast sometimes stumbles like benching Schaub in favor of Hasselback last week. But he can be a road warrior and invade someone's turf so beware.
4. Katy
The Hyena. Probably the most maligned yet one of the most efficient killers in the wild. Preys on the weak, who only score less than 54 points on average against this real survivor. Those who lose against her almost always are mad that they lost in such an ugly fashion. This weak, Team Katy's Eagle defense will be feasting on a Redskin offense carcass, pity the poor sap who has to face this hungry horde.
5. Tuna
The Great White Shark. That's what the Discovery channel says when I pretended to be Tuna and took their quiz. Likely to be at the top of the food chain in the Asian division. But must be more consistent and not drop 43 point stinkers against an opponent with her best players on the bench.
6. Andrew
The Timber Wolf. Though their howl are worse than their bite when it comes to humans, the wolf is a very effective predator, especially when there is a lot of snow which slows down their prey. Like the Patriots mowing down opposing corner backs in the snow. Like Darth Vader, the wolf was once thought to be the symbol of evil but we now know he's a good guy after all.
7. Hai
The Burmese Python. The ultimate Asian feast or famine creature. But then he can go into remission for many weeks after that. Hai so far has pwned all Duong matchups, but can't win against the others. This could continue until he meets PJ, since the burmese python has become an invasive species in Florida and has been know to crush an entire alligator.
8. Victor
The Lion. Great reputation, CBS preview always has him as the favorite. Not-so-great results on the actual field. This team has been out of sorts the last two weeks. There was either a lack of production or terrible starting inefficiencies. Dry hunting spell may end, however, as full set of starters are now all back from their byes.
9. Donny
The Polar Bear Cub. Like the polar bear, Donny's team is in endangered status with a poor showing in 3 of his last 4 games. With a very young roster, Donny could get picked on for the near future. However, polar bear cubs eventually grow to do this. Donny will have a brighter future with his 6 potential keepers. Donny may be vulnerable now, but could play the spoiler role in the last quarter of the season.
10. Lily
This Crocodile. This comic inspired my theme for the week. No explanation needed.

God it really sucked being at the game with a Saints Fan.
