Our man TMQ is back with his usual collection of Sweet Plays, Sour Plays, great blocks, and cheerleader photos. He also discusses Throwback Thanksgiving, satellite radio, the Grey Cup, and Aaron Brooks' continued loss of sanity when it comes to certain pass plays.

Draft Dreaming
Instead of doing a midseason review like most other media outlets, Don Banks revisits the 2004 draft. But this time, teams are drafting players based on their first half performances. It's no surprise that Ben Roethlisberger is the first pick, but even in hindsight, there are some questionable selections (Matt Schaub to the Bears?). Still, it's a good way to torment yourself by playing the "what if" game.

Sources: Browns' Davis On Verge Of Losing Job
The Cleveland Browns have gutted their front office over the past three years in part to give Butch Davis more power and control over the organization. Now Davis' days are numbered. According to ESPN's sources, if the Browns don't beat the Bengals on Sunday, Davis will be looking for a new job, possibly in Gainesville, Florida. Either defensive coordinator Dave Campo or offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie would take over as interim head coach for the rest of the season.

Snap Judgment: Greetings from the Gridiron
This week's gimmick at ESPN.com Page 2's Snap Judgment is letters home for Thanksgiving. We put words in the mouths of Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Daunte Culpepper, and Marc Bulger. Plus, this week's DPAR quarterback ratings from yours truly along with the usual commentary, and Brett Favre saves the world -- AGAIN!

MMQB: E for Effort
Peter King thinks Eli Manning did a fine job yesterday even though he didn't win. I'll agree with him and add that I've never seen a game that made me more annoyed that the NFL has such a haphazard way of tracking dropped passes. I wish I could include them in my measurements so poor Eli would rate better. How many passes went right out of the hands of Toomer and Shockey yesterday? I know he caught the touchdown but Shockey is mightily overrated. His hands are horrible.

Football Commentary: Week 10 Strategy Review
The latest strategy review from our friend William Krasker includes a long discussion of Herman Edwards vs. the clock. Did you ask yourself if the Jets should have taken a delay of game instead of calling timeout? Krasker asked the same question and has an answer. Plus, Tampa Bay goes for it on 4th-and-1 and fails instead of kicking a game-tying field goal in the fourth quarter. You know William favors going for it most of the time (and so do we) but is that even true when the field goal would tie the game late?

Report: Spurrier Headed to South Carolina
Keep in mind this is Steve Spurrier we're talking about, so nothing is certain until he shows up at a golf outing wearing South Carolina gear, but ESPN.com is reporting that The Head Ballcoach has an agreement in principle to become the next head coach at South Carolina. One tiny detail remains -- South Carolina already has a big-name head coach with a gi-normous ego, one Lou Holtz. Holtz has been hinting at retirement, however, so this isn't exactly an Auburn/Bobby Petrino situation.

Bengals' WR Eyes Sunday Celebration
In what has become almost a weekly occurrence, another opposing player has given the Steelers bulletin board material and sent the opposing coach into damage control. This time it's WR Chad Johnson and he's asked every fan to bring a dollar to the Bengals-Steelers game this week to help cover the fine that will inevitably follow his planned touchdown celebration. When Marvin Lewis was informed of Johnsons' comments he sat silent for a few seconds before answering: "It's not a wise thing," Lewis finally said, with annoyance in his eyes.

Fraud Warning
Dr. Z's power rankings are especially fun this week. First, he channels Football Outsiders with comments that say Ray Lewis is overrated. He also gives props to Patriots defensive backs coach Eric Mangini, which is really channeling Football Outsiders because it reflects something I wrote that didn't even make it to the Internet.
