Today I heard an old Beatles track called, “I’m a Loser” and immediately thought of Donovan McNabb. In an interview that will air on the Sunday Night Football broadcast, the very capable Andrea Kremer asked McNabb if he should be the starter in Minnesota. “Absolutely!” was 5’s reply.

“Well, I mean, everyone focuses on my position,” McNabb continued.  “We should be sitting here, I’ll be honest, at about what, 4-3, 5-2, or whatever?  We had games that we should have won, but we just didn’t. Now is it the quarterback position?”

This guy isn’t too bright is he? Come to think of it, he’s not very good any more either.

Heading into last week when Christian Ponder was named the starter, the Vikings were 1-5. So why should the Vikings stay with a quarterback whose career is pretty much done while the No. 1 pick sits on the bench? It’s not as if he can learn much from McNabb or if the quarterback best known for blowing Chunky Beef in the huddle during his only Super Bowl appearance is willing to impart his NFL wisdom (assuming he has any) upon Ponder.

The right move has been made to Ponder. A good teammate – particularly one making an undeserved amount of money, should help when and where he can and extend his rapidly fading career. Instead McNabb chooses to embrace the role of divisive club house guy. The Vikings should just send the clown packing. Those belly up fish nearby South Beach might be interested.

Speaking of belly up, Joe Flacco had the look of a dead grouper in his eye on Monday Night in Jacksonville. What a wretched performance! The throw across his body from outside the right hash to the far side of the left hash to Ray Rice AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE is something that even former bumbling Ravens quarterback (now current bumbling Raiders quarterback) Kyle Boller wouldn’t do.

Flacco and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron are attached at the hip in many ways. Baltimore has chosen not to go with a quarterbacks coach and Cameron is on notice from the owner. Improve the offense are pack your bags! So they kinda need each other.

That said, there’s little sign from Flacco that he’s any better now than he was as a rookie and he embraces the role of leader about as much as Lindsay Lohan accepts sobriety. It’s time for the Ravens to cut Cameron loose after the season and see what they have with Flacco before Steve Bisciotti ponies up franchise QB dough to a guy who doesn’t even look like he’s in the top half of NFL QB’s.

QUICK HITTERS: No truth to the rumor that the Ravens stayed around after the MNF game in Jax to practice their no huddle offense even though unconfirmed reports have surfaced claiming that Sam Koch was forced to punt after yet another Baltimore three-and-out…How bad must CB Leigh Bodden be if the Patriots were willing to eat his contract. New England is ranked dead last against the pass and in March, 2010 Bodden signed a four year, $22 M deal that include $14 million over the first 2 years…Has Peyton Manning’s injury exposed Colts’ GM Bill Polian?...Note to self: Never eat before watching a Steelers’ game when Dan Dierdorf is on the CBS call. It’s nauseating to listen to his man crush knob slobbering over Ben Roethlisberger. Plus the dude is Captain Obvious. Instead of insight you get, “Man what a throw by Ben!”

Now on to Week 8…

Last week Mojo pushed again going 6-6-1 against the line and a rather weak 7-6 on winners pushing the season totals to 38-32-4 v. spread and 48-27 with winners.

Colts @ Titans (-8.5) ~ Mojo is worried for Peyton Manning. Not only is he still in search of a remedy for his injury, they prop him up on the sidelines to watch the newest rendition of the Dolts. It won’t get any better this week in a sad homecoming of sorts for Manning in Nashville. Titans FINALLY get CJ2K going and going and going. Ugly uniforms cover.

Jaguars @ Texans (-9.5) ~ Texans make it clear to everyone just how bad the Ravens were on Monday Night. Longhorns cover.

Vikings @ Panthers (-3) ~ Curious line here. Mojo wasn’t a Cam Newton believer but he has become one. But not this week. Vikings in a mild upset.

Saints (-13.5) @ Rams ~ At least the city of St. Louis can bask in the glow of the Cardinals World Series Championship. They really won’t care when Bo Peep and the Sheep look like lamb chops. Pass the mint jelly please. N’Awlins in a laugher…or sleeper, depending upon your perspective

Cardinals @ Ravens (-12.5) ~ Baltimore was embarrassed on the national stage last week. Poor Kevin Kolb. If Arizona scores 10 it will be a lot. Blackbirds cover.

Giants (-9.5) @ Dolphins ~ Dolphins are already packing it in. Reggie Bush is right, Miami does stink. This one is like going to the ATM with your worst enemy’s card and password. Big Blue all the way!

Redskins @ Bills (-5) ~ The ATM card from above still has a balance. You get to keep it by taking the NFL’s newest multi-millionaire, Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Lions (-2.5) @ Broncos ~ Really? Tim will be Tebowing for mercy from Ndamukong . Mufasa all the way!

Patriots (-2.5) @ Steelers ~ The NFL is all about match ups and this one hasn’t favored the Steelers for a while. Tough to pass on a good team that is a home dog but that is exactly what Mojo suggests.

Browns @ 49ers (-8.5) ~ Browns defense is decent and while they don’t have the dawg bones to win it, they’ll have enough to cover the line.

Bengals (-2) @ Seahawks ~ It’s been a long, long, long time since the striped helmets have been road favorites but they’re deserving. Andy Dalton seems unflappable. Tigers to cover.

Cowboys @ Eagles (-3) ~ Andy Reid is flawless following a bye but the Cowboys have some new juju in the form of rookie RB DeMarco Murray. If the Eagles invest too many resources to stop Murray it will open up things downfield for Messrs. Romo, Bryant, Austin and Witten. Take the points. Romo finally comes through.

Chargers (-3) @ Chiefs ~ Philip Rivers’ struggles won’t end at Arrowhead. The resurgent Chiefs are solid home dogs who will send the Bolts home with an “L”.
