The 'A-Team' actress - who is dating Justin Timberlake - has started "drunk dialling" her pals recently to tell them she loves them.
She said: "Lately I've been drunk dialling a lot, which is really weird. I literally have no idea what I've done and I get calls the next day, saying, 'Listen to this voicemail.'
"Usually it's just me hiccupping and saying, 'I love you guys!' Or, 'I just wanted to say hey!' This has never happened to me before by the way. It's just started to happen to me now, although I'm not sure why!"
Jessica insists she is a great person to be around when she is drunk because she just wants to dance and have a good time.
She added to Stylist magazine: "I'm a very fun, giggly drunk. I don't get mean and I'm not one of those people you get worried about. I just get very dancey and silly and fun.
The 28-year-old screen beauty has developed a taste for tequila of late, but insists she is not a big drinker.
She said: "I like alcohol occasionally! I like tequila, I like Scotch. I don't have one go-to drink but lately it's tequila on the rocks."

In 1968, 90-year-old resident of the Norwegian city of Valdres visited divine
vision, which she later shared with evangelist Emanuel Minos. He listened to the
pensioner, recorded her words, but considered them as incomprehensible that the
postponed record aside until better times.
Today, forty years later, Minos knew I had to share with the world what was then
found. His memoirs published online edition Before it's news:
"I saw the world before the coming of Jesus and the beginning of World War
III. I've seen the entire globe and all European countries, including Norway. I
have seen what will happen just before the advent of - a disaster the likes of
which has never been.
First, before you start World War III, the world there will be peace. Peace
between the superpowers of East and West, which will last a very long time (remember,
it was in 1968, when the "Cold War" was in full swing).
During this period, many countries disarm, so they will not ready for war.
Third World will begin when this would least expect, and where no one could not
have imagined.
Second, Christians have become indifferent. They distance themselves from
the truth, close their hearts to the sermons. They have to be interesting, as
before, to hear about sin and grace, the law of God and the Gospel. Instead,
they choose prosperity. Will be an important success, the possession of material
things - in which the Lord never mentioned. Churches and prayer houses are
empty. Instead of preaching, to which we are accustomed from childhood - "Take
up your cross and follow Jesus" - come to church activities. And the situation
will worsen until the advent.
Third, we are waiting for the moral decay with which Norway has never
experienced. Couples live together without being married. A vicious life before
marriage and infidelity after the wedding will be commonplace, and society will
be their excuse. This practice will penetrate even in Christian circles, and
Christians accept it.
Television will become a destructive force that teaches people to kill and
destroy each other. Will be scared to go outside. People will repeat what they
see. On television, is not one "station" and the set of "stations" (she did not
know the word "channel" and called TV "stations"). All of them are full of
violence. And people will treat it as entertainment. We will see terrible scenes
of murder and destruction. We will see sex scenes, the TV screen will show all
the most intimate, what happens in marriage. You'll see for yourself. All we had
to disappear, and our eyes will be the most obscene things.
People from poor countries will move to Europe (in 1968 no such thing as
"immigration" was not). They will get to Scandinavia with Norway. There will be
so many that the locals will hate them and will be tough with them. They will be
treated like the Jews before World War II. Then our sins bowl filled to the
brim. "
At these words from the eyes of the pensioner to tears: "I did not see, but
you happen to be. Jesus comes, and World War III breaks out. This will be a
short war, but the war that I've seen before, will seem like child's play. All
end after the atomic bomb explosion. The air will be so dirty that no one will
be able to make even a single breath.
Suffered several continents - America, Australia and Japan and other rich
countries. Water will also be contaminated. We are no longer able to cultivate
the land. The remaining rich move to poor countries, but there they will be
treated the same way as they used to treat visitors to the poor.
I'm glad I did not see it, but when that time comes, you must have the
courage to tell everyone about it. This revelation I received from God, and in
my vision there is nothing that would contradict the Bible. Anyone who has
received the remission of their sins and believe in the Lord Jesus your will be
saved. "

Former energy secretary Chris Huhne's ex-wife today denied perverting the course of justice by taking a speeding penalty for her former husband.
Vicky Pryce pleaded not guilty at Southwark Crown Court, where she appeared alongside the former Cabinet minister.
Huhne, 57, did not enter a plea to a similar charge of perverting the course of justice.
His arraignment was adjourned for an application to dismiss the charge, the court heard.
It is alleged that Huhne, from Dutton Lane, Eastleigh, Hants, who wore a dark suit and maroon polka-dot tie, persuaded Pryce to take his penalty points for a speeding offence almost a decade ago.
His ex-wife's defence will be one of marital coercion.
A provisional trial date has been set for October 2, due to last no more than two weeks.
Pryce, 59, from Crescent Grove, Clapham, south London, wore a beige linen jacket and a brown knee-length skirt, and was listed in court by her Greek forename Vasiliki.
The former couple did not make eye contact with each other during the hearing.
Both defendants were released on unconditional bail until a pre-trial hearing on a date to be fixed, probably next month.

Film producer and lawyer in talks to buy rugby giant Toulon
A film producer and a lawyer are in advanced talks to buy Toulon from the French giant's colourful owner, Mourad Boudjellal.
The reported $11-million (R153-million) deal could be concluded "in a relatively short time", Lucien Simon, the lawyer and potential new club president, said yesterday.
Toulon is home to Bryan Habana, Juan Smith, Juandré Kruger, Duane Vermeulen and Marcell van der Merwe.
Simon is joining forces to buy Toulon with Gerard Barba, a 51-year-old French film producer.
Boudjellal, who has bankrolled Toulon to three European titles (2013, 2014, 2015) and the French championship in 2014 over his 10 years at the helm, has become increasingly frustrated at his critics.
Boudjellal said last month he wanted "another life" and wondered why "he takes hits every week".
"There is a strong chance that this will be my last year," said the man who made his fortune from comic-book publishing before investing large sums of it in bringing world stars to the Stade Mayol.
"I do not have a huge fortune but it's reasonable. I am much depleted by the club and I don't know if many presidents do this."
Said Simon: "Things aren't done today. We're still working with Mourad, who remains the sole person to decide."

It's absolutely silly for consumers to be afraid of microwave popcorn ("Popcorn: It's Not All Good for You," Wednesday).
Chemicals in buttered-popcorn flavoring have caused illness in a handful of workers, but they are exposed to it for eight hours a day, year-round. That's why they wear hazardous-materials suits now.
Gold miners use cyanide, a much more serious poison, to isolate precious metal from ore. But that doesn't make our wedding rings dangerous to wear.
It's sad that fearing our food has become a distinctly American neurosis. But surely, if we work a little harder, we can find something more realistic to worry about.

The Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe has today passed from Azerbaijan to Belgium, at a meeting at the Organisation's Strasbourg headquarters, attended by representatives of its 47 member States.
Before handing over the chairmanship to his successor, the outgoing chair Elmar Mammadyarov, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, gave an overview of his country's achievements during his chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers.
"At this juncture, I am proud to state that Azerbaijan deployed considerable efforts in furthering the objectives of the Council of Europe during its Chairmanship. These six months were rather challenging as our continent is going through difficult times of its history. Bearing that in mind, the priorities of the Azerbaijani chairmanship were identified taking full account of the topical issues on the agenda of the Council of Europe and persistent challenges encountered by member States," he said.
"Combating corruption constituted one of the Chairmanship priority tasks. My country contributed to the efforts of the Council of Europe through organising a Conference on international standards and national experiences in the fight against corruption in Baku on 30 June – 1 July 2014. The conference discussed the topical issues such as the implementation of anti-corruption legislation, preventive measures against corruption, international co-operation and the success stories and challenges of individual countries."
"Azerbaijan was particularly pleased that, the 13th Council of Europe Conference of Sport Ministers in Macolin, Switzerland in September witnessed the signing of the Convention on the Manipulation of Sports Competitions, which will be instrumental in defeating this emerging challenge of the corruption phenomenon. We believe this legal instrument will quickly secure the number of ratifications required for its entry into force, hopefully before the 2015 European Games in Baku."
The FM said: "An international conference on public service delivery in the context of human rights and good governance was held last September in Baku. It is worth mentioning that this particular topic was addressed by the Council of Europe for the first time. The conference gave rise to the Azerbaijani proposal to establish an international association of public service delivery agencies as a platform to exchange best practices. We expect the member states' support to this initiative which has a lot of merit in terms of advancing the Council of Europe objectives."
"The consolidation of culturally diverse societies was also among the Azerbaijani Chairmanship priorities. The Council of Europe 2014 Exchange on the religious dimension of intercultural dialogue was held in Baku early September under the general topic "Intercultural dialogue: interaction between culture and religion". The Baku exchange once again testified to the importance of this platform as a valuable forum and its conclusions will be examined shortly by the relevant Rapporteur Group to decide on possible follow-up activities."
"Within this broader line of action, Baku also hosted the first Council of Europe Platform Exchange on Culture and Digitisation, European Heritage Days celebration event, Council of Europe Cultural Routes Advisory Forum. The Chairmanship also organised an international forum in Gabala, Azerbaijan within the "No hate speech movement" campaign to consolidate its accomplishments."
Mr Mammadyarov said: "In line with its next priority, Azerbaijan sought to complement the Council of Europe's undertakings to ensure everyone's access to social rights without discrimination. In this context, we organised a conference to review the Council of Europe Social Cohesion Strategy and Action Plan in Baku last September. The role national human rights institutions can play in ensuring women rights was debated extensively during the European Conference of Ombudspersons held in Baku in June."
"During the Chairmanship, Azerbaijan also focused on youth and education. In order to back the Council of Europe efforts in this field, Azerbaijan organised a number of international events, in some instances going beyond the Council of Europe's geographical scope."
He said: "A meeting of the co-ordinators for the Council of Europe Charter of Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights, an international conference on local democracy and youth, the 4th regional meeting of Ministers of Education on the implementation of European Higher Education Area held in Baku were all oriented to further streamline our Organisation's endeavors."
"Let me single out one major event, namely the United Nations First Global Forum on youth policies held in Baku on 28-30 October with the strong institutional support of the Council of Europe. About 700 youth ministers, youth policy leaders and professionals coming from more than 80 countries adopted the "Baku commitment to Youth policies" calling for establishing a global initiative on youth policies and the sharing of expertise in the field of public youth policies."
"Furthermore, the protection and promotion of human rights with a particular focus on effectiveness of the Convention system was addressed in a high-level conference on the role of national judges in enhancing the domestic application of the European Convention of Human Rights held in Baku last month."
The FM said: "Azerbaijan also took advantage of its Chairmanship to support the Council of Europe's policy regarding neighbouring regions. The high-level conference on the neighbourhood policy held in Baku on 7-8 November 2014 reviewed the achievements made so far in deepening dialogue with the partner countries from the neighbourhood. The participants from both the Council of Europe Members states and partner countries reiterated their unequivocal support for this policy. As the Council of Europe and partner countries are currently in the process of taking stock of the co-operation activities carried out in 2012-2014, the outcomes of this timely conference will certainly guide us in identifying the priorities for the years to come."
"The Chairmanship period was also marked by a close interaction between the Committee of Ministers and the Parliamentary Assembly. In this spirit, H.E. Mr Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, addressed the Assembly at its June session. In my capacity of Chairman of the Committee of Ministers, I presented to the Parliamentary Assembly the reports on the activities of our Committee at the June and October sessions and had an exchange of views with its members. I also addressed the meeting of the Standing Committee of Parliamentary Assembly in Baku last May."
"We also invested our efforts to strengthen synergy and partnership between the Council of Europe and other international organisations. In this context, Azerbaijan is currently conducting informal negotiations in New York to achieve consensus in the United Nations General Assembly on a draft resolution on co-operation between the United Nations and the Council of Europe."
"To conclude, I would like to extend our gratitude for the excellent co-operation offered during the whole chairmanship tenure, to member and observer states, the Council of Europe bodies and the Secretariat, with whom the Chairmanship worked in a spirit of compromise and dialogue to achieve consensual outcomes to the benefit of all. Let me also assure you that we will continue, after the completion of the chairmanship term, to render our support to Belgium and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the implementation of our shared priorities," said Mr Mammadyarov.

The only time it ever happens is when I play any kind of game, no matter how graphically intense they are. It seems to happen at random intervals in games, sometimes I was able to play for 5 minutes, the other time it took a couple of hours. Nothing has changed on the computer recently to have caused this to happen. I have attached the zip file from the W7F program. I can provide any other information that is needed right away.

Eva: team mates.
'A secondary team?' I wasn't so sure whether I was quest material but I didn't want to be left behind with the other Aphrodite girls. I mean, they were all nice...but they were more the girls that Lisa thought I was. It saddened me, to be painfully honest. These girls weren't showing the clever calculating side to my mother. And the other boys weren't too clued up either. I still had that eleven year old whose legs would buckle when I walked past. Funny...but not intellectual company. That's why I liked Cyrus. And this kid. 'I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Eva.' I smiled and held out my hand. Manners were taught to me by my father-he valued a true lady or gentleman.
'Zarion.' He took my hand and I was glad that his palm wasn't all sweaty, like those of the mainland boys. 'Yeah, I reckon we could be taken onto this secondary team. I don't know about your powers but I'm....' he smirked. 'Well, let's say I'm pretty quick.'
I laughed. 'I know you're the son of the god of the wind. Speed would come naturally. I'm not really gifted in a practical way...' I trailed off.
'But you seem clever.' He motioned to the mirror. 'It was your idea to bring that, wasn't it?'
'Yeah. But I do know a bit about people's impressions. A lot of the world is based on face value and desire.' I grimaced-lust was a sin.

In My Dream
Have you ever been cheated by someone you have given every bits of your heart? Have you ever wondered what you really got into in your relationship? Sometimes, we step onto something terrible, some illusion of human-nature as we go along in this world
In my dream,
we walked on earth
grew flowers
kissed the sky above
picked all the stars
and said prayers
In my dream,
you stood for loyalty
you never cheated
would never lie
you spoke the truth
and left nothing behind
In my dream,
I saw your smiles
heard your heartbeats
touched your hands
listened to your songs
looked into your eyes
that'd never cry.
Suddenly, I wake up
look up, and wonder
all my dreams become nothing
on the face of an unfaithful lover.

Poem of mine
If you truly care,
Come and just confess,
Because I just sit and ponder..
It causes me such distress..
I dream of your beautiful eyes,
Staring into mine,
I just think about the next time,
Our smiles will intertwine.
When I hold you in my arms,
I never want you to go,
Because when I'm holding on to you,
I'm not afraid to let my feelings show.
I'm not sure if you care;
I'm not sure if you agree,
But what I know for sure...
You bring out the best in me...
I don't know about your feelings,
They never seem to show,
I hold you in my arms,
And you let your smile glow.
I know you truely care,
I can see it in your smile,
I take these things so seriously,
Because you won't see me for while.
If you slip or fall,
I'll pull you on your feet,
Then the next time I see you,
Our eyes will truely meet..

Birds: Map Tracking on the P*DA
From April 14th, 2009
Daemon pulls out the High Vacuum Daemon Ball, yelling, "Daemon Ball, GO!" and throws it the Magnezone, all in one motion. The Daemon Ball sails through the air before bopping the Magnezone in the "head", if it it can be called a head. It then flies back, opens up, then starts to make some very violent motions.
Roy, knowing fully well this prolly meant trouble ducks over to the side. Roy's Ego, still standing criticizes Roy with a "Wuss, stand up in the face of explosive doom! Hehe"
Then breaking seven laws of physics and a misdemeanor in good sense, the Daemon Ball starts to produce a rather strong gust, and whirlwinds the Magnezone away. Sparks, now somewhat sobre from the experience pokes Roy. Roy swats at Sparks saying, "I remember these things, they explode."
Daemon snaps her fingers in the, "oh shoot" manner, and says "drat, now I'll have to chase that Magnezone all over the overworld, wearing down damage, trying to capture it each time."
Fujitsu, keeping pace says, "you could do Mean Look on it to keep it from running away?"
Daemon, "yes, but it might know Roar, and then I'll never see it again."
Fujitsu crosses his arms, "You just do ingrain or something similar."
Daemon picks up the pokeball with Kane in it, "Kane, time to figure out how to teach you mean look"
Fujitsu looks at Daemon's beat up Lumpy, and rushes over and starts hugging it. Gives a mean look to Daemon, "this poor guy needs to see a pokecentre"
Lumpy simple groans out, "<Get off of me... I was happy being miserable.>"
Daemon looks over, "okay... will you accompany us to the pokecentre? I'm Daemon, and this is Roy"
Fujitsu perks up, "Krystal Spectrum?"
"Please, Daemon"
"You were on all the news feeds in the pokecentres in Sinnoh! After your lab went Pchooooeeee, Boom, cccccrsssh... is that Ghastly okay?"
"You just hugged her. Anyways, they need attention, lets head to the pokecentre."
Fujitsu, seeing a celebrity Ghastly carries Lumpy, much to Lumpy's complaining.

Scolari, famous for his volatile nature, has taken over from Emerson Leao, who was sacked on Monday at Tokyo airport as he prepared to board a flight home with his team following the Confederations Cup.
Leao had only been in charge since October after replacing Wanderley Luxemburgo, whose two-year reign ended with a quarter-final defeat by nine-man Cameroon at the Sydney Olympics.
"I haven't had time to discuss salaries and how long I will be in charge. This is what matters least at the moment," Scolari said. "My commitment is to qualify Brazil for the next World Cup."
Scolari's first game in charge will be a qualifier against Uruguay in Montevideo on 1 July.
Uruguay are sixth in the group but would go level with Brazil if they won.Reuse content

It was a fine Easter here in northern California; I awoke early, full of anticipation of what the day would hold for me. Not many folks get a chance to ride three 1920's bikes in one day, and even fewer get to motor about on three bikes from such a renowned manufacturer as Sunbeam. In the garage, I noted my fuel tank was near empty - with my gas can at the shop, I had to check the tanks on the other bikes.... all near empty. I did however drain a quart of fuel between them; why do they all seem to come home empty!! That and the "Air Fairies" had stolen about 15lbs from the front tyre, so in went some air.
My 1924 Model 5 was just a bit hesitant to roll over when the time came to depart; you would think she would be all a-fluster with the prospect of some riding, and a little TLC this am... could she have been nervous about what the day would hold? (I know I get a bit strange when I am off to visit relatives.) She did eventually spring to life and settled down nicely, as I watched for oil to start dripping at the sight glass... I slowly pushed the manual pump until I saw the first sputter of oil in the glass. This is the signal to get this show on the road, so on went the gloves and helmet and away I went.
It's a short distance from my place to Paul's, with a fine view of the ocean. A bit of a chill wind came up but nothing to dampen my spirit.... the oil was still flowing and fuel was just down the hill at the station. I was beginning to remember what a pleasure it was to ride this bike and was looking forward to mounting the 1925 Model 6 ('Longstroke') later in the day. When I arrived, my Model 5 settled down to a VERY slow idle... she can be such a show off, as if she was setting the scene for the ride to come. But when Paul fired up the Model 6 I knew this would be anything but a sedate adventure. We started comparing the two machines... very similar yet VERY different. The Model 6 has some aftermarket development inflicted upon her - I was eager to see if it was a success.
We set off to Land's End for some photos for Paul's blog. Traffic was heaver than I expected on Easter, but we managed to find our way thru the cars and gave the girls a bit of stick up the hill; that Longstroke sure pulled nicely up the grade. We broke several local ordnances by wheeling the bikes into the park for photos; folks didn't seem to mind but the area was pretty crowded so we rode to a different location for more photos and perhaps a video.
Lake Merced was a short trip, but offered a nice sprint down the Great Highway, where we diced it up a bit, and even chased some modern bikes, whose riders seemed quite impressed. I smiled within, the Model 5 fell into her old habits and steadily pulled me along. She almost drives herself, allowing me to take in the scenery. The anticipation to ride the Model 6 was welling up - that bike sure sounded like it wanted to go... that it just wanted to be opened up... but caution prevailed, as the bike was largely untested (having just came out of a box the week before).
My chance finally came to mount the Longstroke... you could have not designed a more opposite riding position to the Model 5. The controls were similarly laid out, but you have to shape yourself to the bike.... I could see that this was not a touring machine, as even the riding position felt fast.
I prodded the M6 to life, found the position she wanted in, and off we went for a lap about the golf course. The bike really wanted input, all movements made by the operator must be VERY deliberate, as opposed to the M5, on which you simply push the shifter, set the controls and let the bike take you away. This beast required you to KNOW what you were doing. In any event the parade lap was far too short for my liking and I was thrilled when Paul offered to swap bikes on the way home. Some of the aftermarket work started to rear its ugly head... over-oiling filled up the oil sight-glass and she was bucking like a Georgia Mule, so I gave some more stick, and she started to settle down a bit. I would't call it nicely, but the bucking ceased and I was now moving at quite a pace (especially for a bike with effectively no brakes ). She was eager for more throttle - this bike is a cracker. I had to resist the urge to go flat out, balls to the wall... if it was mine I would have, but I didn't want to spend my summer looking for rare bike parts! In spite of my reluctance, the bucking ceased, the bike seemed happy, the oil sight-glass cleared... too bad we were already back at Paul's garage.
I reluctantly returned the bike, but was offered a spin on his 1928 Model 90... sadly I only went around the block twice. That bike REALLY wanted to GOOOOOO; I wasn't entirely sure how Paul would feel if I disappeared for and hour or so, as that's how long I would need to get comfortable on it, so a short test ride it would be... I will have to save the longer ride for another day. All in all a nice outing on three 1920's Sunbeams. I'm eager to repeat it.

|NFL Power Rankings, Week 2: Patriots claw to top
|09.11.12 at 9:26 am ET
A wild and exciting Week 1 is officially in the books and already we have a new No. 1 team that reigns over the WEEI NFL Power Rankings. Bolstered by a new and improved defense, the Patriots climb to the top spot. Meanwhile, in the NFC, the 49ers "Lambeau leaped" the Packers after beating them in a statement game in Green Bay.
Aaron Rodgers and Co. drop down to No. 5 after their loss. The Texans clawed their way into the top five and sit at No. 4. Peyton Manning and the new-look Broncos are the fourth-ranked team in the AFC and stand at No. 7 overall.
Looking ahead to Week 2, there are a few matchups to watch that could impact the rankings. The Bears and Packers will battle in an NFC North showdown, and the Jets and Steelers will face off in a battle could move the winner into the top 10 of next week's rankings.
Listen to Mut, Merloni, and Zarbano discuss the NFL Power Rankings on WEEI.
1. (2 last week) Patriots (1-0) ' A young, rejuvenated defense makes Bill Belichick's squad the clear AFC favorite after Week 1. This D has much bigger tests ahead of it, but holding Chris Johnson to just four yards in 11 attempts is very impressive. The versatility the pass offense showed on Sunday was expected. If Stevan Ridley can balance the offense and become a threat on the ground, the Patriots will be as close to unstoppable as a team possibly can get.
2. (4) 49ers (1-0) ' The defense picked up exactly where it left off. The 49ers made Aaron Rodgers and the Packers look confused and out of rhythm. I don't think there's another defense in the league that is capable of that. The Niners are a well-rounded, well-coached team that made a statement to the entire NFL in Week 1: Last year was no fluke.
3. (5) Ravens (1-0) ' It wasn't the defense, it was Joe Flacco and the Ravens offense that was most impressive in the team's win over the Bengals. With Ray Rice in the backfield, opposing defenses always have to respect the run. On Monday night, the Ravens' play action was in full effect.
4. (6) Texans (1-0) ' After the Texans' 30-10 victory over the Dolphins, Andre Johnson said to reporters, "Man, we didn't even play that well and won by 20 points. It's crazy." That quote says a lot about how good Houston really is. The Texans have playmakers on both sides of the ball and will go deep into the playoffs if they can stay healthy.
5. (1) Packers (0-1) ' Just one week into the season and the Packers already have matched last year's loss total. Still, why panic? When Aaron Rodgers is behind center, Green Bay has a shot to win every Sunday. A Week 1 loss to a well-balanced 49ers team doesn't mean the Packers won't contend for a Super Bowl.
6. (8) Falcons (1-0) ' The Falcons' prolific offense showed how dangerous it can be. Matt Ryan played just the way he needs to play all season if Atlanta wants to win the NFC South.
7. (11) Broncos (1-0) ' It's tough to believe Peyton Manning hadn't played a game since the 2010 season after watching the 36-year-old QB on Sunday night. Manning and the offense were in rhythm and operating like a well-oiled machine. Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil made sure to remind everyone that the Broncos D is just as dominant.
8. (14) Cowboys (1-0) ' Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne did a great job at shutting down the Giants' dynamic receivers. The Cowboys could turn into the favorite in the NFC East if their defense can consistently perform like it did on opening night.
|NFL Power Rankings, Week 1: Packers on top, Patriots lead AFC
|09.05.12 at 11:21 am ET
The much-anticipated 2012 NFL season kicks off Wednesday night in New Jersey as the defending Super Bowl champion Giants begin defense of their crown against the Cowboys. However, the Giants won't start the year at No. 1 in the WEEI NFL Power Rankings. Led by MVP Aaron Rodgers, the Packers find themselves in the familiar No. 1 spot. Eli Manning and the Giants start at No. 3.
Behind Tom Brady and a high-powered offense, the Patriots once again are poised to be one of the best teams in the league. The Patriots are the top-ranked AFC team and sit at No. 2 overall.
It's finally time to get answers to the countless questions around the NFL. How will Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow co-exist with the Jets? Can Peyton Manning be the Peyton Manning of old? How big of an impact will the replacement officials have on the game? All of these questions and more will be answered.
Click here to listen to Mut and Merloni discuss the WEEI NFL Power Rankings.
1. Packers (15-1) ' Green Bay once again sets the standard in the NFL, seeking its second Super Bowl title in three years. Over the past two seasons, the Packers are 29-8 in the regular season and playoffs.
2. Patriots (13-3) ' Brady and the Patriots offense will be as explosive as ever. Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd will be giving opposing teams nightmares all season long. It will be interesting to see how improved Bill Belichick's defense is. Rookie Chandler Jones has the potential to be an absolute force on the defensive line.
3. Giants (9-7) ' Eli Manning is clutch, maybe even more so than Brady. SI's Peter King brought up an amazing stat about the Giants QB: In his last three games against the Patriots, Manning has been behind at the two-minute warning and each time has led his team to a go-ahead touchdown.
4. 49ers (13-3) ' Jim Harbaugh's 49ers are one of the most complete teams in the NFL. The addition of Randy Moss and Mario Manningham should be enough for Alex Smith and the offense to improve in the red zone.
5. Ravens (12-4) ' Baltimore fell just one dropped pass short of the Super Bowl. People talk about the "aging" defense, but Ray Lewis and Ed Reed have yet to show any signs of slowing down. On top of that, Haloti Ngata is one of the best defensive linemen in the game, and the addition of rookie linebacker Courtney Upshaw gives the defense some youth.
|WEEI NFL Power Rankings: Training camp edition
|07.26.12 at 7:13 am ET
Training camps are underway across the NFL and it's just 45 days until the Cowboys kick off the season against the defending Super Bowl champion Giants on Sept. 5. The offseason was filled with news of free agent signings, suspensions, player arrests and comeback kids. Now it's time to see where all 32 teams rank before the preseason and injuries begin.
The two teams that dominated the regular season in 2011 find themselves at the top. Powered by their high flying offenses, the Packers and Patriots will start the season as two of the elite teams in the league. The Giants are at No. 3 coming off their second Super Bowl victory in five years.
The Saints (7) and Broncos (10) are two notable teams in the top 10. The anticipation is building by the day to see if Peyton Manning has something left in the tank and if the Saints can overcome "Bountygate."
And now, since football is officially in the air, here is the first edition of WEEI's 2012 NFL Power Rankings.
Audio: Click here to listen to Mut and Merloni discuss the NFL Power Rankings.
1. Packers (15-1) ' Coming off a 15-1 season, the Packers addressed their defense in the offseason. Their first six draft picks were dedicated to the defensive side of the ball, and rightfully so. Green Bay's defense was one of the worst in the NFL in 2011. With that said, the Packers still won 15 games. There's no doubt, the Packers have a great shot at winning their second Super Bowl in three years.
2. Patriots (13-3) ' The Patriots offense, once again led by Tom Brady, speaks for itself. The addition of Brandon Lloyd adds an outside threat to the arsenal. Bill Belichick will undoubtedly focus on improving the defense during training camp, and the team brought in the personnel to ensure that it's not the 31st-ranked defense for a second year in a row. First-round draft picks Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower are expected to make an immediate impact. Both add a tremendous amount of athleticism to a defensive squad that struggled to defend the pass and get off the field on third down.
3. Giants (9-7) ' The defending Super Bowl champs are No. 1 in another category, most difficult schedule. The Giants will face six teams that made the postseason in 2011, and don't forget, that doesn't include the Eagles or Cowboys. If any team is up to the challenge, it's the G-Men. Eli Manning has proven he is indeed an elite QB in the NFL, and you can ask the Packers and Patriots about New York's relentless pass-rushing defense.
4. 49ers (13-3) ' Down to his final out, Alex Smith resurrected his career in San Francisco. It was obvious new coach Jim Harbaugh made a major impact in improving the former first overall pick. If Smith can improve on third down and in the red zone, the 49ers can once again compete for a Super Bowl. The offense finally has weapons on the outside to go along with the run game, and Vernon Davis. Randy Moss and Mario Manningham will help the Niners put points on the board.
5. Ravens (12-4) ' Ray Lewis and the Ravens were so close to the Super Bowl they could taste it. They'll once again be one of the elite teams in the NFL vying for a chance to play for the Lombardi Trophy. Joe Flacco is the biggest X-factor. In the AFC championship, he proved he can play in big games. He'll have to be more consistent in 2012. The Ravens should once again have their signature shutdown D, even with Terrell Suggs out until November. Rookie linebacker Courtney Upshaw will be relied upon to fill in for "T-Sizzle."
|NFL Power Rankings, Week 16: Patriots take control of AFC
|12.20.11 at 10:12 am ET
A wild Week 15 in the NFL concluded with many underdogs on top. The Chiefs knocked off the Packers; the Chargers clobbered the Ravens; the Redskins upset the Giants; and the Colts prevailed over the Titans, all proving how unpredictable the NFL is with each given week. The most surprising outcome was the Chiefs victory over the Packers. Aaron Rodgers and the defending champs saw their quest for a perfect season go up in smoke. The Pack had rattled off 19 straight wins before falling to Kansas City.
The race for the No. 1 seed in the AFC took a dramatic turn as the Texans, Ravens and Steelers all fell. The Patriots now boast the best record in the AFC and are classified as the best team in the conference in the WEEI NFL Power Rankings. Tom Brady and the Pats now have sole control of home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
AFC Playoff picture: Patriots, Ravens, Steelers, Texans have all clinched.
NFC Playoff picture: Packers, Saints, 49ers have all clinched. The Lions and Falcons have a commanding lead in the wild card race.
1. (1) Packers (13-1) ' One loss won't do anything to hurt the Packers' chances of winning the Super Bowl but losses to offensive linemen might. Injuries are piling up on Aaron Rodgers' line. Center Scott Wells and guard Josh Sitton are the only two Week 1 starters who are healthy. Brian Bulaga, Chad Clifton and Derek Sherod are all injured. The Chiefs laid out the blueprint on how to beat the Packers: Relentlessly rush Aaron Rodgers and disrupt the Packers receivers' routes.
2. (3) Saints (11-3) ' The Saints will be a very dangerous team when the playoffs begin. Stopping Drew Brees and the Saints offense looks like an impossible task. Brees is on pace to shatter Dan Marino's single season passing yards record. He also has a career high 37 touchdown passes.
3. (5) Patriots (11-3) ' The Patriots offense once again showed how versatile it is. Aaron Hernandez stepped up as the go-to receiver for Tom Brady since the Broncos decided to take Rob Gronkowski out of the game as best they could. There certainly is no shortage of weapons on the offensive side of the ball. The defense is a different story. The loss of Andre Carter, the team's best pass rusher, is a devastating blow for the Patriots. The pass defense needs all the help it can get and a lack of rush on the quarterback is only going to make it more difficult on the secondary.
4. (6) 49ers (11-3) ' Capitalizing on red zone opportunities is one thing the 49ers know they have to do better. They took a step in the right direction Monday night when they scored touchdowns on two of their three trips inside the Steelers' 20. However, on one of those occasions, they were helped out by a Steelers personal foul penalty on fourth down. Entering the playoffs, they'll have one of the worst offenses in the NFC but one of the best defenses. If they can improve in the red zone, the Niners will be a dangerous team.
5. (2) Ravens (10-4) ' Joe Flacco could be a reason why the Ravens fail to make it to the Super Bowl. He has been terribly inconsistent this year and very rarely do we see teams with mediocre quarterbacks win the Super Bowl. The fourth-year QB isn't fooling any defenses with his throws. At times, he's predetermining where he is going to throw the football and that has led to interceptions. Ray Rice also had just 10 carries in the loss. In the Ravens' four losses, Rice has had 13, 8, 5 and 10 carries. See the trend?
6. (4) Steelers (10-4) ' It might be time for the Steelers to seriously consider shutting down Ben Roethlisberger for the rest of the regular season. The chances of winning the division and clinching the No. 1 seed went out the window with the loss to the Niners. The Ravens' two remaining games are against the Browns and Bengals. The Steelers will have a much better shot in the playoffs with a healthy Roethlisberger. It's not worth the risk of playing "Big Ben" and having him further aggravate his ankle injury.
7. (8) Falcons (9-5) ' The much anticipated rematch between the Falcons and Saints will finally arrive this Monday night. Running the ball and setting the tempo with Michael Turner is an obvious key to Atlanta's success but Julio Jones is a major factor as well. The last time these two teams met, rookie WR Julio Jones missed most of the game with a hamstring injury. Jones, along with Roddy White, will make it extremely difficult for the Saints defense to stop the Falcons offense.
8. (11) Lions (9-5) 'For the fourth time this season, the Lions have come back from a double digit deficit. Matthew Stafford and the Lions are now in a prime position to clinch a playoff spot. For a city that has watched their team average 12 losses per season since 2001, postseason football would come as quite a welcome gift under the tree.
9. (7) Texans (10-4) ' Turnovers are becoming a growing concern for Gary Kubiak. The Texans coach has watched his team give away the football nine times over the past four games. Arian Foster is responsible for four of those nine. The dynamic running back must shoulder the load for the offense with Matt Schaub out.
10. (10) Giants (7-7) ' For the second time this year, the Giants lost to the Redskins. Eli Manning had his worst game of the season on Sunday but the Giants defense should shoulder a lot of the blame as well. The pass rush is ineffective and the secondary continues to give up big plays. They couldn't get off the field on third down against Rex Grossman. The Redskins possessed the ball for 35 of the 60 minutes.
11. (12) Cowboys (8-6) ' It's amazing how fast a team's fortunes can change in the NFL. After a demoralizing loss to the Giants last week, the Cowboys are back in the driver's seat in the NFC East race because of the Redskins' upset victory over New York. Felix Jones will be key to the Cowboys success. Tony Romo needs a strong run game to balance the offense and keep opposing teams on their toes. The division title is on the line the next two weeks. If the Cowboys can beat the Eagles and Giants, they'll be division champs.
12. (15) Chargers (7-7) ' Undefeated in December but winless in November; the Chargers are finally playing great football but the possibility of the postseason is slim. Right now, no team wants to play San Diego. The Chargers are winning by an average of 23 points-per-game in December. Look no further than Philip Rivers for the main reason for the recent success. Rivers has not thrown an interception during the current winning streak but threw 17 leading up to it.
13. (9) Jets (8-6) ' The Jets D was torched for 420 total yards. It was obvious the absence of Jim Leonhard had an adverse effect on the defense. Tight end Brent Celek had a career game with 156 yards and a touchdown and running back LeSean McCoy averaged over five yards-per-carry. Offensively, it's beginning to become clear that Mark Sanchez is incapable of leading the Jets to the Super Bowl. He now has thrown 13 interceptions and his 57.9 completion percentage is one of the worst in the league.
14. (13) Broncos (8-6) ' Tim Tebow helped win games for the Broncos because he protected the football and didn't turn it over. That didn't happen Sunday against the Patriots. Tebow and two of his teammates were responsible for three fumbles, all of which resulted in points for the opposition. The good news for the Broncos is that they face the Bills in Week 16 and still are in a great position to win the division.
15. (21) Eagles (6-8) ' The Eagles have won two straight games for the first time this season. This talented team is finally starting to show signs of why many predicted them to reach the Super Bowl. The defense has made a huge difference over the last two games. The Eagles D has a total of 13 sacks and seven turnovers in that span.
16. (18) Bengals (8-6) ' Thanks to some great drafting, rookies Andy Dalton and A.J. Green are becoming a lethal quarterback-wide receiver duo with loads of potential for the future. Dalton has already surpassed 3,000 yards for the year and Green has surpassed 1,000.
17. (16) Raiders (7-7) ' Simply put, the Raiders are not a playoff caliber team. The potential and talent is there, but they shoot themselves in the foot week after week with penalties, turnovers and mistakes. The defense constantly let up big plays to the Lions. Matthew Stafford connected on 51- and 39-yard touchdown passes. He also drove his team down the field on a game-winning 98 yard touchdown drive with 1:35 left to play.
18. (14) Titans (7-7) ' The opportunity was there but the Titans squandered away a great chance to take control of the one wild card spot remaining in the AFC. Matt Hasselbeck threw two costly interceptions; one was returned for a touchdown and another was in the red zone. Chris Johnson was stifled once again as well. The Titans are 4-0 when Johnson reaches 100 yards but he turned in a subpar performance against the winless Colts. The offensive line can also be blamed for failing to open holes for the run game.
19. (19) Cardinals (7-7) ' Unfortunately for the Cardinals, numbers don't lie and John Skelton is 5-1 as the starter. Meanwhile, Kevin Kolb has a $63 million contract but a 2-6 record. Quietly, Skelton has become the "Tim Tebow" of the Cardinals. The second year QB struggles to pass the ball but somehow finds a way to win consistently in the fourth quarter.
20. (20) Seahawks (7-7) ' The soaring Seahawks have won five of their last six games. Marshawn Lynch went over 1,000 yards rushing for the first time since 2008. He's been the leading force in the Seahawks offense but now will have to do even more. Wide receiver Mike Williams joined fellow receiver Sidney Rice on IR.
21. (17) Bears (7-7) ' The Bears have lost four straight games since Jay Cutler went down. Caleb Hanie has thrown three interceptions in three out of his four games he's started. It's extremely difficult to win in the NFL when a team loses its turnover battle and the Bears continue to do just that. They've turned the ball over 12 times since the Cutler injury.
22. (22) Dolphins (5-9) ' The Reggie Bush pickup has added a great weapon on the Dolphins offense. The team is using Bush as the featured running back and it is paying off. His touches have increased as the season has progressed and it's one of the reasons the Dolphins have won five of their last seven.
23. (25) Chiefs (6-8) ' Romeo Crennel is doing his best to convince Scott Pioli that he is the right man for the head coaching vacancy in Kansas City. The Chiefs had a tremendous defensive game plan against the Packers. Kyle Orton's performance should also be noted. Orton threw for 299 yards and no interceptions.
24. (26) Panthers (5-9) ' Cam Newton and the Panthers enjoyed their first win against a team over .500 on Sunday. Against one of the best defensive teams in the league, the Panthers put up 28 points on the Texans. The Texans haven't allowed that many points since Week 6.
25. (27) Redskins (5-9) ' The Redskins can go into the offseason knowing they beat the Giants twice and played some very competitive games against quality opponents in 2011. Rookies Roy Helu and Ryan Kerrigan have made significant contributions to the team and both will be major pieces for the Redskins going forward.
26. (24) Bills (5-9) 'Ryan Fitzpatrick has been one of the main reasons the Bills are amid a seven-game losing streak. He has a league-high 19 interceptions. Twelve of those picks have come during the current losing streak. The defense has been horrendous as well. The Bills D has allowed an average of 32 points-per-game during the losing streak.
27. (23) Buccaneers (4-10) ' The longest losing streak in the NFL now belongs to the Bucs. The eight straight losses have made it clear that Raheem Morris' team is not responding to his coaching. Penalties, mental breakdowns and turnovers continue to hurt the Bucs week after week. Josh Freeman has regressed in 2011 and LeGarrette Blount has failed to establish any type of run game in the offense. In the latest lost, the Bucs defense allowed 28 first downs while converting only seven on offense.
28. (28) Browns (4-10) ' The Browns will end another dismal season against the Ravens and Steelers. Finishing the year anything but 4-12 will be a major shock. Cleveland currently has a total of 44 loses since 2008.
29. (29) Jaguars (4-10) ' Blaine Gabbert looked like a boy playing against men in the Jaguars' latest lost. Gabbert has been a disappointment compared to his fellow starting rookie quarterbacks in the league. The uncertainty at head coach could be a factor. Even when Jack Del Rio was there it seemed like only a matter of time until he would get his walking papers and Mel Tucker is a defensive-minded coach.
30. (30) Vikings (2-12) ' The Vikings are allowing an average of 29 points-per-game. For the third straight week, the defense allowed 30 or more points. Christan Ponder has also struggled lately. The rookie has thrown at least one interception in three consecutive games.
31. (31) Rams (2-12) ' The beleaguered Rams offense is one of the worst in the league, averaging just 11.9 points-per-game. They rank 31st in third-down conversions and went just 2-13 in their latest loss.
32. (32) Colts (1-13) ' The players and coaches are relieved they finally put a W in the win column, but now the Colts' chances of getting the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft are in jeopardy. Indy has games against the Texans and Jaguars remaining. The Jaguars game is a very winnable matchup. Meanwhile, the Rams play the Steelers and 49ers.

|NFL Power Rankings, Week 15: Patriots prepare for Tebow week
|12.13.11 at 12:42 am ET
Eight of the top 10 teams in the WEEI NFL Power Rankings were victorious in Week 14. The Cowboys were the only team to drop out of the top ten. They move to No. 12, while the Giants leap to No. 10.
Tim Tebow pulled off another miraculous fourth quarter comeback and has the Broncos (13) sniffing the top 10. In one of the most anticipated games of the year, Tebow will face off against the Patriots (5) in Week 15. Football fans everywhere are fascinated to see if the "Tebow Magic" can carry over for a seventh straight week.
Two coaches lost their jobs on Monday. The Chiefs (25) parted ways with Todd Haley and the Dolphins (22) fired Tony Sparano. Sparano and Haley join Jack Del Rio as coaches to be shown the door this season, and they probably won't be the only ones. Raheem Morris with the Bucs (23), Andy Reid with the Eagles (21), Norv Turner with the Chargers (15), and Jim Caldwell with the Colts (32) are just a few other coaches who would appear to be on the "hot seat".
1. (1) Packers (13-0) ' The Chiefs, Bears, and Lions stand in the way of the Packers completing a perfect regular season. Unless Aaron Rodgers goes down, Green Bay should become the second team in NFL history to finish a season 16-0. The success can be credited to a dynamic offense and a defense that causes turnovers. Their 32 takeaways leads the league.
2. (2) Ravens (10-3) ' Sunday's upcoming game against the Chargers will be a good test for the Ravens defense. Philip Rivers will be the best quarterback the team will have faced since Ben Roethlisberger in Week 9. If the Ravens win, they'll clinch a playoff spot for the fourth consecutive year. If they win their remaining three games, they'll lock up the No. 1 seed in the AFC for the first time in franchise history.
3. (3) Saints (10-3) ' Very rarely do you see the Saints kick four field goals in a game. Usually we see Drew Brees slinging the football in the endzone. The Saints have looked like a very different team on the road at times this season and inevitably they'll be forced to leave the comfy confines of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and play outdoors on the road. Sean Peyton will have to find a way to get his team to play at the same level on the road as they do at home.
4. (5) Steelers (10-3) ' Ben Roethlisberger's health has been a concern all year because he's constantly taking hits from opposing defenses. He is the second-most sacked quarterback in the league. The Steelers luckily escaped catastrophe when Roethlisberger went down with just a high-ankle sprain. Big Ben is beat up and needs better protection from his offensive line if the Steelers want to make a return to the Super Bowl. Read the rest of this entry »
|WEEI NFL Power Rankings: Week 14
|12.06.11 at 7:23 am ET
We learned a lot from Week 13. The Packers (1) and 49ers (4) clinched their respective divisions; the Bears (16) season is on life-support; the Bengals (18) can not contend with the elite teams in the league, Tim Tebow and the Broncos (13) are in first place; and Madonna will be performing at halftime during the Super Bowl.
The top six teams in WEEI's NFL Power Rankings were victorious in Week 13. Teams ranked No.7-11 were a different story. The Falcons (8), Cowboys (10), Lions (12), Raiders (14), and Bears (16) all drop in the rankings. Meanwhile, the Jets (9) and Broncos (13) both climb.
The final four weeks of the NFL season are set to begin. The NFC East race is one of the most intriguing. The Giants (11) and Cowboys (10) will face off twice for the right to represent the division in the postseason. The series matchup starts this week in Dallas. Meanwhile, the race in the AFC for one wildcard spot seems destined to go down to the wire. Teams like the Jets, Raiders, Broncos, Titans, and Bengals are all in the hunt.
1. (1) Packers (12-0) ' The Packers were tied in the fourth quarter for the first time this season. That's a testament to how dominant the defending Super Bowl champs have been. They've now won 18 straight games and will surely wrap up home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The road to Indianapolis will go through Green Bay. NFC teams should be scared.
2. (2) Ravens (9-3) ' The Ravens should finish the season 13-3 with games against the Colts, Chargers, Browns and Bengals remaining. It's very important they take care of business and win out to soldify at least one home game in the playoffs. Ray Rice proved on Sunday that he is the motor that moves the Ravens offense. The elite running back rushed for over 200 yards.
3. (3) Saints (9-3) ' The Saints couldn't have picked a better time to be playing their best football of the season. It seems impossible to game plan against Drew Brees and the Saints offense. The pass defense has been the biggest cause for concern this season. However, they did a great job shutting down elite receiver Calvin Johnson on Sunday night.
4. (4) 49ers (10-2) ' For the first time since 2002, the 49ers can call themselves division champs. The Niners defense hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher or a rushing touchdown all season. Running backs such as Steven Jackson, Ray Rice, and LeSean McCoy have all run into the 49ers D with little success. On the other side of the ball, Frank Gore is leading a productive rushing attack. Alex Smith is benefitting from the solid run game more than anyone. The young QB is managing games, not trying to do too much on the field, and has thrown just five interceptions.
5. (5) Steelers (9-3) ' The Steelers are proud owners of the No. 1 defense in the league. The defending AFC champs look primed to make another strong playoff run. Ben Roethlisberger has shown no ill-effects from his thumb injury and James Harrison is starting to amp up the dominant Steelers pass rush.
6. (6) Patriots (9-3) ' Playing 60 minutes of football seems to be challenge for the Patriots. Their fourth-quarter performance was alarming to say the least. The Colts rallied for 21 points in the last 15 minutes of the game. The cupcake schedule continues this week against the Redskins. They won't play a top caliber quarterback until the playoffs. We won't find out how good this team actually is until January.
7. (12) Texans (9-3) ' The injuries keep piling up, but the wins keep coming in. The Texans are a resilient, gritty team that refuses to give up, no matter what player goes down with an injury. Gary Kubiak, Wade Phillips and the entire Texans coaching staff deserve much praise for what this team has done. The rags to riches story on defense has been one of the best storylines in the NFL this year.
8. (7) Falcons (7-5) ' Dropped passes and a struggling run game is a bad combination. The Falcons had both in Sunday's loss to the Texans. Star wide-receiver Roddy White leads the league with 11 dropped balls. Michael Turner was unable to get anything going against the Texans. The result is usually not good when the Falcons fail to run the ball effectively.
|WEEI NFL Power Rankings: Week 13
|11.29.11 at 9:58 am ET
Which team do you think has the best shot to beat the top-ranked Packers? The Giants (14), Raiders (10), Chiefs (23), Bears (11), and Lions (9) are the five remaining teams standing in the way of the Packers' quest for an undefeated season. Green Bay's cushion for the top spot in the NFC got a little bigger as the 49ers (4) lost for just the second time this season.
The Patriots (6) and Cowboys (8) continued to gradually inch their way up the chart as both teams are enjoying winning streaks. Meanwhile, the Bears (11) slide out of the top 10 after a loss to the Raiders (10) and the Texans (12) stay put despite winning their fifth consecutive game.
The playoff picture is starting to unfold. Teams like the Bengals (15), Jets (13), Titans (16) and Broncos (18) are all fighting for the final wild card berth in the AFC. Meanwhile, the Giants (14), Falcons (7), Lions (9) and Bears (11) will battle for the two wild card spots in the NFC.
1. (1) Packers (11-0) ' The Packers aren't even giving teams a chance. The Vikings are the only opponent that hasn't been beaten by a touchdown or more. They lost by six in Week 7. Aaron Rodgers and the defending champions look like an unstoppable train. Last year, they squeezed into the playoffs and won every playoff game on the road. Now, they're just a few weeks away from clinching the No. 1 seed in the NFC and home field throughout.
2. (3) Ravens (8-3) ' The dominating defensive performance from the Ravens against the 49ers proved they are one of the elite teams in the league. Without defensive leader Ray Lewis, the Ravens D had nine sacks, held Frank Gore to just 39 yards, and went 10-for-12 on third-down stops. The Ravens are in an excellent position to lock up a first-round bye in the playoffs with four of their remaining five games coming against teams with a below .500 record.
3. (5) Saints (8-3) ' Drew Brees and the Saints offense looked like a well-oiled machine during Monday Night Football. Brees has now thrown for 300-plus yards eight times this year. One of the biggest factors has been the production from the run game. Darren Sproles, Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram have provided a great balance to the offense.
4. (2) 49ers (9-2) ' After being sacked nine times, Alex Smith shot up to No.3 on the quarterback sacks list. Nine sacks in one game is inexcusable; it doesn't matter who the opponent is. The offensive line wasn't the only one to blame. Smith held the ball too long at times and his receivers struggled to get open. Fortunately for the Niners, four of their remaining five games are against NFC West opponents.
5. (4) Steelers (8-3) ' Injuries are starting to become a growing concern for the Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger, Troy Polamalu and Maurkice Pouncey are all battling injuries. It's extremely important Roethlisberger's offensive line steps up the protection so he doesn't suffer a setback to his injured thumb. The offensive line has been shaky all year and Big Ben has endured an endless amount of hits.
6. (7) Patriots (8-3) ' The Pats defense needs to make stops on third down, cause turnovers and continue to stop the run in order to surmount the awful pass D. The Patriots have done that over the past three games and have shown signs of improvement. The only thing they can do now is continue to progress and get healthy as they play out their schedule against a group of inferior teams. There's no reason why Tom Brady and the Pats shouldn't be 13-3 when the season ends.
7. (6) Falcons (7-4) ' The Falcons have won five of their last six games and are starting to get into a groove. Matt Ryan has played extremely well over the past few weeks. He's protecting the football and has a high completion percentage. Ryan completed 79.4 percent of his passes and had a 128 QB rating in Sunday's win over the Vikings.
8. (11) Cowboys (7-4) ' The first-place Cowboys will face another below .500 opponent in Week 13 before their showdown in Dallas against the Giants. The G-Men, meanwhile, will face the undefeated Packers. The Cowboys could very possibly have a commanding two-game lead in the NFC East by the time Week 14 rolls around. The even-better news that came out of Dallas was that cornerback Mike Jenkins returned to practice and will likely play Sunday against the Cardinals after missing four straight games.

Spurs Name Danny Ferry Vice President of Basketball Operations
"We are thrilled that Danny has decided to rejoin the Spurs organization," said Spurs General Manager RC Buford. "He has a great basketball mind and brings a vast amount of NBA experience and expertise to our program. It is a true pleasure to be able to welcome Danny and his wonderful family back to South Texas."

After playing the 1989-90 season in Italy, Ferry spent 10 seasons with Cleveland before signing with the Spurs, as a free agent, on August 10, 2000. Ferry spent his final three NBA seasons with the Spurs before retiring in the summer of 2003.

After retiring, Ferry moved into the Spurs front office as the team's Director of Basketball Operations. On June 27, 2005, Ferry was named the Cleveland Cavaliers General Manager. During his five seasons in Cleveland, the team posted a 272-138 (.663) record. Cleveland advanced to the 2007 NBA Finals, marking the franchise's first, and only, trip to the NBA Finals. Ferry left his post with the Cavaliers on June 4, 2010.

FOMC Meeting Minutes This Afternoon
Today's Pfennigfor your thoughts…
Good day, and a wonderful Wednesday to you!
I think the Fed members are going back to look at their plan these days. Their plan to hike rates two times in 2015, has to be questioned now that it appears that global growth is circling the bowl. But then, that's just me thinking through it all.
I read a report this morning that talked about how "when" the Fed hikes rates next month, that consumers, and the markets are not going to give two hoots about the hike, as it has been well telegraphed and had plenty of time for pricing the rate hike into the markets.
I have to say that the writer was pretty darn sure that the Fed was going to hike rates next month, so kudos to him for that conviction. But the idea that the Fed is going to hike rates is all wet in my opinion. I've gone through that so many times, I'm beginning to sound like a broken record.
The markets are beginning to look as though they are more concerned with the decimation of global growth. And rightly so, I would think! But what will they do about that? They'll get on their horses and ride to the next bond house, and buy bonds. That's what happens when economic growth goes south, so do yields on bonds.
But wait! Bond yields are already south, where can they go from here? I guess we're going to see folks…
Well, the dollar is softer this morning for the most part ahead of the Fed's FOMC Meeting Minutes that will print this afternoon. I don't know that the markets are going to find what they are looking for in the minutes, but then I'll use the old pitcher for the Cardinals, Joaquin Andujar, and his favorite word — "You never know".
But I think they will be looking for any signs either way, that give them a clearer direction that the Fed will take next month. I read a research paper last night, and in it the writer stated, "The economists of the world, all think the Fed is going to hike rates next month, while the markets don't believe that".
I thought, hmmm… I wonder when the markets came around to that kind of thinking, because it wasn't that long ago, that me, Jared Dillian, and James Rickards were the markets guys that were saying there would be no rate hike.
So, the Chinese renminbi gained another 30 pips last night, making it two consecutive nights of 30 pip gains. I don't think gains this small tell us anything really. And like I said yesterday, I think it's just the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) doing some adjusting of the devaluations last week.
There's been no data, no new revelations from China the last two nights, so that why I'm on that thought about the adjustments.
Last week, I told you that the Chinese devaluations were going to lead to either devaluations or outright depreciations from respective Central Bank intervention of the other Asian and Pan-Asian currencies, and a quick look at what's gone on in the past week, shows that to be quite true:
The Singapore dollar (S$), Malaysian ringgit, Taiwan dollar, Thai baht, Korean won, and others are all down significantly since the first devaluation was announced. The Thai baht has seen a couple of devaluations since last week and so on.
I read last week that the markets were looking for the emerging markets to suffer the most from the Chinese announcement, but it appears to me that the Asian currencies are suffering quite a bit.
But it's not just the Asian and Pan-Asian currencies seeing their values drop, the currencies from countries that are large trading partners with China, like S. Africa, and Brazil are also seeing their respective currencies drop in value. The euro and the yen have basically come out of this past week with the Chinese devaluations unscathed.
Size does matter folks. the U.S. and Eurozone are the largest economies, tied for first, then comes China, then Japan. So, the U.S., Eurozone and Japan all skated by the Chinese devaluations.
Speaking of Japan — I spent an inordinate amount of time yesterday talking about Japan and their last 20 years of economic debacle. And then last night Japan printed their latest Trade Balance for July, and unfortunately, their "balance" has become a deficit (remember when you could bet the farm on a Japanese Trade Surplus each month?).
And in July, their Trade Deficit widened to yen 268 billion. But then with global growth circling the bowl, what else would you expect here?
Well, I was incorrect with my assertion that the Greek Bailout/aid package had been put to bed, there was one more entity, the German Bundestag, that had to vote on the Package, and the news just came across that they approved it. Whew! I was sweating that one out, along with the Greeks! HA!
The euro is up a small bit this morning, no great shakes. You know, I'm beginning to feel like the markets don't listen to me. HA! As If!
No, seriously. why don't they? I mean, I told them all about the tale of two current account balances of the two largest economies yesterday, and they did nothing!
Well, the markets can be fickle, and slow to react at times, so maybe it will take a daily beating of the fact that the Eurozone has a Current Account Surplus and the U.S. doesn't, to get them to treat the euro better.
Another short talk with the Big Boss, Frank Trotter, led to me researching something I had never crossed before in school or elsewhere. First, we talked about an article that a reader had sent to me to read and comment on. The article's lead headline was: "Greece and the Gold Drachma, a possibility for returning to solid fiscal and monetary policy?"
I first laughed out loud, at the thought that Greece could "return" to solid fiscal and monetary policy, when they never had them to begin with! Well, at least not in the 33 years that I've been around foreign markets! Should I remind you of the 18, 19 and 20% yields that were available in Greek deposits instruments before the euro came along, because Greece had a problem attracting investments into the debt ridden economy? I didn't think so.
So, anyway, that's what we first discussed, and how the new proposed gold backed drachma would have to be a 2-currency system, with trade between Eurozone countries still done in euros. We both laughed out loud at the idea of a 2-currency system. Then Frank mentioned something that I was shocked to hear. He said, "Well, the Incas didn't even have a currency".
There was some disappointing news from Norway overnight. The world's largest Sovereign Wealth Fund lost $8.8 billion in dollar terms in the second quarter, their first decline in 3 years. The $8.8 billion represented a -0.9% decline, and the main loser came from their bond holdings where there was a 2.2% decline in bond values, due to higher yields around the world.
Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund is a smart way to handle their oil revenue, as Norway places most of their oil revenue in the Fund, to avoid overheating the economy. Which leads me to something that I was thinking about the other day…
Sure, oil revenues are down big time for Norway, but hasn't the Norges Bank been on the "pump up inflation" campaign for the last two years? Well, if putting some of the oil revenues into the economy could overheat the economy, but overheating is the least of your worries right now, wouldn't it be prudent to go ahead and do just that for a little while, while oil revenues are down anyway? It couldn't hurt, right?
Well, that's my solution to the Norges Bank's dilemma, and I'm sticking to it!
As the morning has gone on, the softness in the dollar has faded, and the currencies are giving back some of their gains as I write. I guess the NY Traders arrived, and said, "What's this? The FOMC Meeting Minutes print this afternoon, and then we'll all be talking about a rate hike next month, so to hell with this dollar softness!"
Gold is up $5 this morning. No make that $4, as it just dropped a buck! I read this morning that India reported that their gold demand this year is up 11%, and by 936 tonnes. And again, I'll make a fool of myself with the naysayers of gold price manipulation, by asking the question, how does strong demand for gold equal a drop in the price of the metal?
Well, anyone that agrees with me that this is all wrong, and for no other reason but manipulation using paper trades, will not argue with me here, but I know a few very smart people that don't agree with me, and I guess I'll have to take my lashings later from them!
The U.S. Data cupboard only has the stupid CPI (consumer inflation) for us today. And then hidden behind the stupid CPI report will be the "real average weekly earnings year on year, which should show an increase of around 1.8%… Hmmm, wages still going nowhere, eh?
So, have you ever wondered why all the Fed's measures for wages seem to lead them back to the square that says wages haven't increased, and that keeps inflation at bay?
Well, maybe they just use the wrong measures. But that's not what I'm leaning toward with this discussion.. My question really is why haven't wages increased to show wage inflation in the now 6th year of recession recovery?
It's been a decade since the Fed last hiked rates, and borrowing rates remain at all-time lows. So, it's not like the economy hasn't had stimulus to grow, which would increase employment, wages and eventually wage inflation. What's keeping the U.S. economy from economic growth that would generate the employment, wages, and wage inflation?
Well, I've told you all before what I believe it is. Too much Debt.
Yesterday, I spent some time talking about Japan and their ordeal with their economy and their attempts to stimulate it for 2 decades now. What do Japan and the U.S. have in common here? That's right, Too Much Debt.
So, it could be the measures the Fed uses that keeps them coming back to square one, but I prefer to think that it's too much debt. Simple Simon.
You have to wonder where all the media hype that surrounded the Greek debt problem back in 2011 to today, has been as the state of Illinois, which is a much larger economy than Greece, entered into a "technical default". That's the story for FWIW this morning, and comes to you from the folks at www.businessinsider.com/
Here are a couple of snippets to whet your whistle:
In what has been a not-so-stunning turn of events over the last week, the State of Illinois has failed to appropriate funds on a certain class of its outstanding appropriation-backed sales tax debt issued by the Metropolitan Pier & Exposition Authority (Met Pier).
The mechanics of this missed payment mirror Puerto Rico's default on its appropriation-backed Public Finance Corp. (PFC) bonds earlier this month.
To be sure, Illinois has not missed a payment on its outstanding debt. It has, however, failed to make a monthly payment to the trustee for a December 15th payment, a covenant breach that constitutes a "technical default"- not a payment default, but typically the first step that fallen angels take on the way to a payment default.
In mid-July Puerto Rico failed to appropriate funds to a trustee, which later resulted in a payment default on a class of its outstanding debt.
Chuck again. And again, missed by most news outlets, the ratings agency S&P downgraded Met Pier on August 5th, from AAA to BBB+.
The inside on this all is that S&P didn't downgrade Met Pier for their fundamentals, but more for their arms-length relationship with the state of Illinois, and their $6 billion payment backlog to fund its pension system.
Yikes! This is real nasty stuff folks. and yet I had to dig to find this.
Well, I'll get out of your hair for today, and hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

When not interfered with, Nature's whole machinery works with perfect regularity, and her balance is exactly poised. If, however, we presume to intermeddle, the whole system soon becomes deranged. By importing or cultivating fancy fruits unnatural to the soil, we have interfered with the machinery; by killing the birds to protect these fancy fruits, we destroy Nature's balance of her creatures—for birds are the natural counterpoise to insects. In consequence we have, to the great detriment of our crops, an overweight and undue increase of insects. To save them from their devourers, we must throw some extra weight into the opposite scale to compensate for the loss of the birds we kill. I have done my best to show how this weight may be added, and how the balance may be restored.
On the following pages I have sketched out two menus, comprising some specimen dishes which may be made from insects. Of course these menus are unnaturally crowded with insect items; but they are merely intended to show how such dishes may be usefully introduced into the chief courses of an ordinary dinner.
