Anyone who has watched Damon Huard quarterback the Kansas City Chiefs this year would have to agree that he's a legitimate NFL starter. So why did it take so long for him to get an opportunity? And what does he have in common with other quarterbacks who took a long time to get their chance, like Kurt Warner, Jake Delhomme and Brad Johnson? I explore that in this week's column.

What do you do when your team's postseason hopes are dead and buried by Week Eight? What sort of Flintstones Chewables was Sage Rosenfels horfing down before the Texans-Titans game, and what does that have to do with Seneca Wallace? Who is Mike Tomlin, and why might he be your team's head coach in a few years? And how in the name of Ocho Cinco did Oakland get outgained, 360-98, and still beat the Steelers? In this week's “Manic Monday�, we attempt to answer these questions and more.

The Rams would like to remind Cardinals fans that they're playing pretty well, too. (St. Louis Cardinals fans; the Rams can't find any Arizona Cardinals fans.) Mike Tanier would like to remind everyone that their neighborhood sports bar is not their living room and nobody else cares about their fantasy team.
