The daily ramblings of the EA SPORTS World Live Production Team.

Brought to you today by Jack Del Rio's agent.  You better get started making some calls.



Welcome to the Eagles

Maybe we're nuts, but we actually believe Andy Reid will still be employed by the Eagles 6 months from now.  Donovan McNabb, though?  Go ahead and get used to the color purple because you're headed to Minnesota the moment the season is over.

Obviously there won't be any Eagles on the list, but here's our votes for the NFL's MVP finalists, in no particular order:

*  Brett Favre
*  Kurt Warner
*  Clinton Portis
*  Albert Haynesworth
*  Drew Brees
*  Anquan Boldin






There's a big chunk of the Live Production Team from Texas, so the BCS standings are a popular topic around here.  Not all are Longhorns fans, mind you.  But, it still makes things interesting.

One thing that we like, and it's not just because Nate graduated from Oregon State, is the fact that USC won't have to play in the Rose Bowl.  We've got to think that USC is happy to be able to play somewhere else.  We know that they wish they could have their fans local, but we think it would be nice for them to get a change of scenery.

Our resident Aggies, Jason and Rob, are hoping that A&M can pull the crazy upset of Texas just to mix everything up.

Let's just say this:  we're REALLY excited to get the game predictions posted later this week with Rob.  Keep your eye out for that.

• The Gillette Champions of Gaming Tournament
  

The second week leaderboard is posted!  Check and see if you qualified for the January knockout rounds!

• Rob Thompson's NCAA Football Wrap Up
  

Another fun week in College Football and Rob has the breakdown of how Mike did in his predictions.

• New NCAA Top 10 Videos of the Week
  

Another week and another round of great videos uploaded by the EA SPORTS World community.  Check out the latest with Jason and Rob Thompson here.

• Soccer Helmets Required
  

How soon before the vocal minority starts yelling for kids to wear helmets and facemasks in soccer?  We hate those people.
