Eight in the box: Goodbye, summer

EIGHT: Lost days of summer- Summer is officially gone here in Chicago, replaced by cold rain, gloomy days and sleet. But here at the NFP, we strive to remind you what summer was like, bringing you back to the beach one last time and pushing the sun back into the sky. Of course, the only way we know to do that is with girls in bikinis. Yes, football weather is here, but Marisa Miller is still on our minds.

SEVEN: Joey Talk- Joey Porter is a great guy to listen to because, like Chad Ochocinco and the loveable T.O., he gives us what we need to start our days. But with the Jets and Rex Ryan coming to town for a Monday night matchup, we think Joey was confused when he said, “We still think the AFC East runs through Miami.” Hey, Joey, at 1-3, nothing is running through Miami.

SIX: UFL Action- Former Bills QB J.P. Lossman threw two TD passes in the Las Vegas Locomotives (yes, Locomotives)  inaugural win over the California Redwoods last night in UFL action. Only 14,000 or so people actually went to the game, and if you have DirecTV, like I do, you didn’t see it. So why am I commenting on this? I really don’t have the slightest clue.

FIVE: Heidi- Sticking with our theme, because that’s what we do now to keep “Eight in the Box” classy, we venture out to visit with Heidi Klum, who still might be the best swimsuit model of all time — and a very welcome visitor to the NFP. Again, this post really has nothing to do with the NFL.

FOUR: Take that, Boomer- Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell responded to claims made by former NFL QB Boomer Esiason, saying that he was not fined by the club for missing meetings. I happen to find this intriguing since the only thing worth talking about with Russell is his work ethic and his weight — because he sure isn’t doing anything on Sundays to spark interest in his game.

THREE: No stopping in GB- Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle just signed a bill that allows opposing teams’ buses to bypass red lights on their way from the visiting team hotel to Lambeau Field on game days — making for a quicker arrival. Do I even need to say it, or do we have to get into how the Packers O-Line has been letting the opponent do this since Week 1?

TWO: Hello, Sherm- ‘Skins owner Daniel Snyder made a move this week by hiring Sherm Lewis as an offensive “consultant” for head coach Jim Zorn. Will it work? I doubt it, but Lewis could help by telling Mike Shanahan if his office furniture will fit in Zorn’s office.

ONE: Daniela- In closing, we are bringing you Daniela Pestova, one of NFP Fantasy expert’s Joe Fortenbaugh’s “sleepers” in the industry — a blonde from the Czech Republic — and one of the best babes ever to ever grace the shores of a beach, or a calendar. So long, summer. We miss you.

Have a good weekend. Go ‘Hawks — beat Michigan.

He gone.
