The Mighty MJD's Smorgasbord runs every Monday. Do enjoy.

• There's a sign at the little Sean Taylor fan memorial that has a picture of Taylor with the words, "GIVE TOM LANDRY HELL" next to it.

If you're in heaven, can you give someone hell? I've got to think that's frowned upon up there.

• Before the game kicks off, the crowd in DC observes a moment of silence ... the bar spontaneously follows suit. It's dead quiet in here. This feels so surreal.

• And we almost made it through the entire moment of silence, until some stupid bitch, just as it was about to end, asks, "Why is it so quiet in here?"

• Hey, there's Brady Quinn in a Subway commercial ... apparently, the Subway people are in some way giving free subs, but Brady can't deliver them because he's busy on Sundays. And he's right ... the last time Derek Anderson didn't get his pregame handjob was Week 3 against Oakland, when he was under 50 percent and the Browns lost. So Brady Quinn has a job to do now. And besides, do you really want the guy jacking off Derek Anderson to also deliver your subs? Seems like that would violate some health codes.

• Debate question on the CBS pregame show: "Should Philip Rivers have yelled 'Shut Up!' to the Chargers fans?" As a Chargers fan, let me say that I don't care if he sends me a singing gorilla telegram every Thursday that instructs me to go fuck my mother ... if it makes him feel better about himself, I don't care what he tells me.

• An early false start is called against "numerous players" on the Redskins. I guess something like that was to be expected. The NFL should have a clause for situations like this that gives a team their first four penalties for free.
