- Plaxico Burress (pictured) just got a whole lot richer after signing his new deal. He'll make $11 million this season alone, and if yesterday's game is proof, then he's worth it.

- Shawne Merriman says he felt good in practice. Well, best of luck to him. He'll need it.

- Chad Johnson, er, Ocho Cinco, says he is going to hit Ravens linebacker Bart Scott in the mouth ... for being rude.

- Pacman Jones could be starting on Sunday for the Cowboys, in place of the hurting Terence Newman.

- One Bears offensive guard is not happy with the acquisition of another.

- What kind of role will Rashard Mendenhall have with the Steelers Week 1?

- With the Eagles injuries at wide receiver, they should focus on tight end L.J. Smith in the passing game.
