Hump Day: Loser Rankings for December 23

1. St. Louis Rams- They need a quarterback...Then again, they need a lot of things.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- They own the tiebreaker advantage over Detroit because they've scored only 214 points for the season.

3. Detroit Lions- They did hold their own against Arizona. They have at least one more win in them.

4. Kansas City Chiefs- They did lose to the Browns.

5. Washington Redskins- When you do something stupid like the fake field goal you tried to pull off on Monday Night Football, you end up on this list. Plus, it helps that Cleveland has won two straight games.

Hump Day: A Snowy Loser Rankings

1. Cleveland Browns- The Browns have the longest losing streak in the NFL. Who knows, maybe they can knock off the struggling Steelers.

2. St. Louis Rams- They did stick with the Bears, which is kinda sad.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- They didn't really do too well against Carolina. Maybe Jake Delhomme should have played.

4. Detroit Lions- They have one more win in them, I think. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat the Bears.

5. Kansas City Chiefs- Would you believe that they have more wins on the road than at home?

See you Friday!

Hump Day: Final Loser Rankings of the season

Here we are, the last week for the loser rankings. We'll have the week 17 losers and then the final top five.

1. Detroit Lions- This really comes as no surprise. Any team that finishes the regular season 0-16 really does belong at number one. It's just common sense! I thought they could win one game, but sadly I was wrong. And while I do believe in the spirit of the Loser Rankings, no team should ever go winless. You have to put forth the effort to win at least one game.

2. Kansas City Chiefs- This team had such high hopes. I believed in this team and they fell apart. Hopefully they can get their act together for next season. The Chiefs have a lot of good talent. They're better than their record.

3. St. Louis Rams- The Rams just flat out had a bad year. Maybe something will change for the better.

4. Seattle Seahawks- This was just a bad year. I really think Mike Holmgren deserved a better year than this one.

5. Denver Broncos- You might be wondering why I don't have the Bengals on here, or even the Browns! The Broncos had a chance to wrap up the AFC West title for several weeks. They kept losing and losing. On Sunday night, they lost to the Chargers and were ultimately eliminated from any shot in the playoffs. As a result, Mike Shanahan was fired on Tuesday.


Now for the final season standings:

1. Detroit Lions- 73 points
2. Cincinnati Bengals- 42 points
3. Kansas City Chiefs- 39 points
4. St. Louis Rams- 33 points
5. Oakland Raiders- 12 points


Final Analysis: I know Raider fans are probably upset about being in the top five. They really did step it up towards the end. However, they did struggle and have some tough losses. I say be thankful they're in fifth. The Lions, were the clear runaway for this season. When you go 0-16, it makes perfect sense to have the highest points. The Bengals found themselves off of the top five for the final week of the season. I tip my hat to them. They really stepped it up towards the end.


That's all I have. I'll have a picks post for you guys on Friday.


Happy New Year!

Hump Day: Loser Rankings-- Teams seem to be playing spoiler

1. Detroit Lions- They got blown away by the Saints on Sunday. They now get to go to Lambeau Field to play the Packers.

2. Kansas City Chiefs- They lost a close one to the Dolphins. It was indeed an epic battle, but it wasn't enough.

3. St. Louis Rams- They blew a close one at home to the 49ers.

4. Cleveland Browns- We welcome Cleveland to this week's edition. They have lost five straight games. This team has fallen off the face of the earth, which is conveniently where we are located.

5. Cincinnati Bengals- The Bengals are playing good football right now. They've won two straight games. However, they're still in the top five because they're 3-11-1. Sorry Bengals fans!


Now time for the regular season standings:

1. Detroit Lions- 68 points- Clinched First Place

2. Cincinnati Bengals- 42 points- Clinched Second Place

3. Kansas City Chiefs- 35 points

4. St. Louis Rams- 30 points

5. Oakland Raiders- 12 points


Analysis: This is the official top five for the season. The Raiders will officially have the top spot wrapped up. Seattle has won two straight games, so it seems unlikely we'll see them on the top five for next week. I still have that deal for Detroit if they want to win a game, so it's not too late. The battle for now seems to still be 3rd place. Who knows what will happen? The Rams get the Falcons who are fighting for the division and possibly the second seed in the NFC. Enjoy the final week of the season.

Hump Day: The Loser Rankings

We all see these so-called "NFL Power Rankings," where these so-called "experts," rank the 32 teams from best to worst. But who is the best at being the worst? Oh No Romo intends on finding out. So here are the Top Ten Loser Rankings. *Cue cheesy music*

10. Miami Dolphins- A team with Trent Green that lost to the Washington Redskins, in overtime. They could have lost the game as time expired in the fourth quarter if Santana Moss had made it in the endzone. Sorry Cam, but your team is no.-10.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars- They lost to the Tennessee Titans and they decided to get rid of quarterback Byron Leftwich. But on the bright side, they still have sharp dresser, Jack Del Rio.

8. Arizona Cardinals- No comment.

7. Baltimore Ravens- Six turnovers is unacceptable. You have a terrific defense, but a terrible offense, that might have worked in 2000, but not in 2007.

6. Kansas City Chiefs- They lost to the Houston Texans, 20-3. The Texans just looked better out there. Larry Johnson didn't bring it and Damon Huard struggled greatly. Now they get to go on the road to Chicago, who only allowed LT to run for 25 yards. Yikes!

5. Cleveland Browns- Still can't decide on a quarterback?

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Team issues like wide receiver David Boston testing positive for GHB during his DUI arrest and tight end Jerramy Stevens being found guilty. Plus they looked bad against the Seahawks.

3. Oakland Raiders- They lost to the Detroit Lions and they signed JaMarcus Russell, this week. They're lucky to be in the third spot.

2. New York Giants- They need some healing power.

1. New England Patriots- Yes they did win. But they got caught cheating. I'm not saying it's ok to cheat, but if you get caught you can't be that great at cheating. Remember kids, cheaters never prosper, unless you play for the Patriots
