Fergie

EIGHT: Fergie- We found out this week, of all the themes we have done here at the NFP, we have never talked about music—and the women behind the microphones on stage. WWE Divas, athletes, reality stars from “B” rated shows—they all made the cut. But, this week, we are going with the music queens and starting with Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. Enjoy.

SEVEN: Playoff Bound- I really wanted to come up with something creative to respond to the claims by Richard Seymour that Oakland is headed to the playoffs (especially for the NFP’s Wes Bunting who loves those Raiders), but after thinking about it, do I really need to comment on something as asinine as that?

SIX: Merriman Talk- San Diego linebacker Shawne Merriman said that the Broncos were “disrespectful” to the Bolts for their pre-game antics when the Denver players came over to the Chargers bench in pregame warm-ups. He also stated, “But we get to see them again. They didn’t have a cakewalk here.” I don’t know, but it kind of looked like a “cakewalk” to me when the Broncos ran all over the San Diego front seven in the fourth quarter on Monday night.

FIVE: Beyonce- Golly, what NFP Fantasy Expert Joe Fortenbaugh would give to live in Jay-Z’s shoes for one day, just one day. Then he could see what it is like to hang out with one of the hottest performers that we have ever seen—Miss Beyonce Knowles.

FOUR: Cowboy Benching- I find it amusing that the Cowboys Patrick Crayton was expecting the coaching staff to tell him that he would no longer be running with the first unit on Sundays. Patrick, Roy Williams cost Jerry Jones millions and draft picks, and Miles Austin just had a game when he piled up 250 yards receiving. I am pretty sure you saw this coming.

THREE: Allen speaks out- Jared Allen has pretty much deserved the right to talk—about anyone—and he did it again this week when the Ravens Michael Oher decided to talk a little trash after the Vikings victory. But, Allen responded, saying, “I beat that dude like a red-headed step child.” Don’t feel bad rookie, it happened against the Packers and it will happen against the Bears also when they face Allen. You aren’t the only one.

TWO: Largent Speaks up- Former Seahawk great Steve Largent—who is a former teammate of Jim Zorn’s—went to town on Dan Snyder and the Skins this week. He pointed the finger at a lot of things, but centered on the fact that new play caller Sherm Lewis was “pulling out ping-pong balls in the Bingo games” back in Detroit just a short time ago. That has to be one of the best sound bites of the season. Folks, you just can’t make this stuff up, and I can’t say anything that is funnier than that. Go Skins.

Britney Spears

ONE: Britney- How can we talk about music and babes without talking about Britney. Sure, we all know that she has changed since meeting K Fed and turning her life into an absolute mess, but she is our editor’s favorite, and we believe we would be doing our readers an injustice without brining you a picture from the past—when we all loved Britney.

We all still love Britney and some people didn't admit it then (ten years ago) and won't admit it now, "What's not to like? Britney's latest album is selling faster than her first so please don't knock her unless you have gone to her Circus tour; I have, and she was stunning and better than EVER. And she is still breaking records ten years later ..................like No 1 again ...album and three singles and tour and awards galore!! Cannot wait for her new video Plleae watch it

I have to admit, that's one of the best pics of Fergie that I've seen. I really haven't seen the "hotness" factor in her, but I guess it comes out with certain poses and garments.

What is it with the Chargers being so whiny? LT and Merriman always have to cry about something. Jeesh.

Oh yeah Fergie... lots of plastic, but it looks good.

Hey Matt, nice of you to slam a team that's trying to get better and a guy stepping up as a leader. Oh that's right, you're just mad that the Raiders are football players while your short and utterly useless "career" has left you writing about football instead of playing like the big boys do.

Sure Greg H,

Matt played seven seasons I believe, and made millions. An angry Raiders fan is really going to ruin his day.

How many seasons of JV football did you play?

Have fun getting blasted by the Jets loser.

Hey, Greg, man up a little bit and stop being as thin skinned as our POTUS! Are those alligator tears steaming down your face because big bad Matt was picking on your favorite team? How dare he strike an incredulous pose over someone stating the obvious fact that your beloved Raiders are playoff bound (well would be except for that little issue called a "losing record"). You and Diana from the linked post should hook up-you both seem to be occupants of planet delusion.

Greg H - how many season have you played in the NFL? Raiders fans... gotta love them. Very vocal, but at the same time, just 25 of the last 88 home games have been sold out. this coming Sunday, not sold out either. Maybe you guys should go to the stadium instead of picking on writers who have something negative to say about your team. It's also quite cool to look at the records of the past few seasons: 4-12, 5-11, 4-12, 2-14, 4-12, 5-1. Real winners

I don't know, but watching the Chargers get worn down and dominated in the second half at sea level, and yapping about how 'they'll see us again', would be a lot like me lamenting that I haven't yet caught herpes, but, by God, I sure still can. I'm sure the Broncos can't hardly wait for the next date, at 5,280 feet.

By the way, did Merriman even play in that game?

What is crazy is that the Raiders fans haven't said a word for the last month, but now that they win ONE game and their coach gets off easy they are back in full force.

Plus, this is a satire column with babes with huge cans. How can you be upset looking at this?

Enough of the Raiders, can we get back to Beyonce, Fergie, and Britney?

Matt - when you get around to revisting a category of this nature, how bout some '80s metal hotties? I seem to recall you being pretty well versed in the subject.
