WNTE moves, finds itself

I really liked the Where Not To Eat feature. And I am willing to say that I may have been the only person in the world who found it funny.

But in the end, who cares?

Blogs are all about keeping yourself entertained, right? And if somebody else happens to "get it" along the way, so much the better.

Therefore, I hereby decree, that Where Not To Eat and similar items will again return to the realm of the living on The Not Blogger's Blog in the very near future . . .

Stay tuned.

Picks standings

After NFL Week 3:

Urban Docent: 32
The Limey: 30
Fantasy Fanatic: 29
The other guy: 27

Hats off to . . .

1. Mark Brunell (Redskins QB): I've been saying for a while that you should have hung it up. But Sunday, you straight-up brought the heat -- breaking the NFL's record for most consecutive completed passes in a single game. I stand corrected . . . good luck next week as Jacksonville comes to D.C.

2. Chris Simms (Tampa Bay QB): I really dislike your entire franchise, but you showed that you're one of the toughest competitors in the game - period. You almost made that go-ahead score hold up, and then you jetted to a hospital to have your spleen taken out. You're tough. Get well soon . . .

3. The Cincinnati Bengals: You're now 3-0. You came to Pittsburgh to beat the world champs, dropping them to 1-2. Carson Palmer got the ultimate revenge for what I believe was a cheap hit during last year's playoffs. There is finally something to cheer about in the Queen City. Woot!
