EIGHT: Welcome to Hooters- Who doesn’t love wings and girls? Well, our own fantasy expert, Joe Fortenbaugh, is apparently a huge fan of the classy establishment and made it his home away from home in San Diego this past week while watching his Eagles fail to covert third-and-1 opportunities. So to honor Joe, wings and babes, we’re bringing you the girls of Hooters. Stay classy, Joe.
SEVEN: Double coverage- I don’t understand the media controversy right now about Randy Moss and Jets CB Darrelle Revis — who claims he shut down Moss in their first meeting without safety help. Because now all Revis has done is invite Moss and Tom Brady to throw deep to his side all game on Sunday. Sounds like a fun day of work, right?
SIX: Quinn’s low blow- There’s been plenty of opinion written this week — and plenty of reaction — about Brady Quinn’s low hit on Raven LB Terrell Suggs after Quinn was intercepted in a dismal Monday night performance. Quinn claims he was just trying to make a tackle, and you know he may be right — but that was the worst attempt to tackle a player I’ve seen since the fourth grade.
FIVE: More Hooters- What surprised our NFP Eight in the Box advisory panel this week was how multi-talented the Hooters girls really are. For example, take this babe, who not only serves pitchers of Bud Heavies and plates of wings but also has time to dress up like a fireman. What?
FOUR: LeBron- Eric Mangini made headlines for saying he would welcome Cleveland Cavs forward LeBron James to the Browns — which prompted Saints TE Jeremy Shockey to proclaim, via Twitter, that LeBron couldn’t play in the league: “He is a 4.9 40-time.” Come on, Jeremy, LeBron would run right past you on a football field.
THREE: Bye, Bye J-Roc- Well, it looks like JaMarcus Russell has finally ended up where he belongs — on the pine — as Raiders head coach Tom Cable has made the move to backup QB Bruce Gradkowski. And now the Raiders will have millions on the bench and millions on the field dropping passes with rookie Darrius Heyward-Bey. Awesome.
TWO: Shanahan- Now that the Bills have reportedly contacted former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, the sweepstakes is about to begin. And now we get to figure out just how much Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is going to pay to bring Shanahan to Washington. What do you think? I’m going with $10 mil a year.
ONE: Welcome to Chicago- Now that “Hurricane Fortenbaugh” has officially landed in Chicago, we can get down to business at Soldier Field on Sunday for Bears-Eagles. But I’m sorry to tell Fortenbaugh that “falling asleep” at Hooters isn’t really expected in the Windy City. I’m taking the under on how long this guy lasts at Sunday’s tailgate.
Check out the new NFL Team Pages at the NFP. Can’t stand the owner, the quarterback, the coach? Let everyone hear about it.
Have a great weekend. He gone.
Go Hawkeyes — beat the Gophers.

I will take the last babe and a set of 12 spicy wings.
What a piece of hack journalism this is. Bowen throws all types of wild allegations around without naming sources or presenting any actual evidence. Then he proceeds to bet the under on a battle-tested tailgater who has made big plays on the road in the past (EX: Meadowlands for last year's Philly-NYG divisional playoff game and San Diego last weekend).
I'll take the young playmaker over the old married guy any day of the week.
Ship.
Matt - His name is Bruce Gradkowski. Give the Rockets some love!
San Diego? They eat sushi at that tailgate Joe.... come to Green Bay, You wouldn't make it.
Love the babes by the way.
I will take No.2 with 24 breaded wings and a 24 oz High Life.
Northwoods Tom:
If I want to freeze my ass off and watch a quarterback spend the better part of the afternoon running for his life like Richard Kimble in "The Fugitive", I'll come to Green Bay.
"Allegations?"
Having the manager at Hooters tell you that you can't "sleep" at the table sounds like hard core evidence to me.
Don't bring a beer funnel to Solider with that McNabb jersey either.
Thats why we drink so much up here in the pregame, Joe. To endure our offensive line and TT.
You might as well drop Eight in the Box because you will never equal this week's babes.
Like I said before Joe, I'm on your side. Customer is always right. Sowho cares if you had mistaken the Hooters table for your plush, W Hotel room and ya got run? So what is it?!?...a big f'in deal?!?! It is what it is. It's happened to everybody......But I wouldn't attempt it this weekend. And if it comes to Bowen shotgunning bud heavies at the gate before the game, my money is on you surviving longer!!! Hell, I'd take my 7 yr old neice before taking that mess. Anxious to hear how the scenery is at your hotel on Lakeshore. Ship!
Completely torn on the tailgate wager... In one corner, we've got the PSU alum who know doubt perfected the craft of tailgating in Happy Valley. Joe, I never saw you slugging handles of booze at our tailgate, but it's a big lot and I'm confident you've got the "boot and rally" down. In the other corner, we've got Bo, who I grew up competing w/ and then losing to, when we both had hair back in the 90's. Matt, I think you're in trouble here. All those years you were busy training and playing, Joe was drinking and well, drinking. I would bring along MAlholm as a player/coach to help your cause. Joe, if you meet this MAlholm, RUN! I feel home field plays a big part Sunday, DA BEARS and BO WIN!
Hooters does have my favorite wings . I love'm breaded , fried , & then baked in a hot marinade . Thats how I make mine anyway . BTW , A friend of mine used to manage a Hooters . He hated it . He said you couldn't imagine the drama . The continual whining about whose work station was whose & putting together the schedule was a nightmare . He said he always had problems with the waitresses showing up . He said it was always for bimbo reasons like " my boyfriend beat me up " or " a friend of mine overdosed last night " . He told me if you ever have a chance to hook up with a Hooters waitress lie about your name & where you live . Joe you have a good thing going because you are playing the role of visitor . Nice .
Joe we have some good Hooters down in the ATL . Maybe we meet for drinks when your Eagles come to town in a couple of weeks . BTW , we have really good strip joints . Famous strip joints : )
Six-- There was certainly plenty of reaction to your opinion on the low blow. Bowen used to get in on the action in the reader comments on a regular basis but that rarely happens anymore. That particular article had the most overwhelming number of readers on the opposite side of Bowen's opinion of any I've ever seen on this site.
I went to the Hooters in Singapore a few years ago. Somebody there didn't get the memo that the servers were supposed to fit the name of the establishment. There were plenty of young Singaporian professionals who also were "asleep" at the table so Joe would fit right in.
