For the second consecutive week, the 2-4 Eagles didn't add an L to their record and will square off against the 3-3 Dallas Cowboys next week. The Giants lead the East with a 4-2 record, while Dallas and Washington are an even 3-3 with Philly at 2-4. The Giants face Miami next week, so they are all but guaranteed another victory that would push them up to 5-2. Washington has to travel to Buffalo, which is anything but a gimme. If Philly is able to trump Dallas Sunday night, they could potentially find themselves in a 3-way tie for 2nd in the division and 2 back of the Giants.

While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report .

It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...
