Here is how much of a nerd I am. I tried for five minutes to work out a “wie gehts” joke re: my subject line up there. I failed. You’re welcome.

No Sunday night game this week, but Football Night carries on nonetheless.

Ravens 29, Raiders 10: How ’bout that Joe Flacco, eh? Keith says the Ravens were doing so well, they got to practice some of “the weird stuff.” They do do the weird stuff, KO. Also, he throws in a “loofah” mention, lest that particular one of his three favorite wells think he doesn’t love it anymore. And “falafel.” That well feels loved, too.

Hee, whispering!Dan is surprisingly cute. As is Keith’s concern/consternation “hmmm”s peppering the background of Dan’s highlights.

Daaaaamn, both coaches’ press conferences following the Lions/Redskins game were kind of contentious. Stupid liberal media elite.

Saints 37, Chargers 32: In London! The weather’s not disgusting this year, either! 86,000 in attendance at Wembly today. Neat. Does a game really happen in the UK if there’s no enormous robotic American football player terrorizing the city?

Heh. Favre got boo’ed today at Giants Stadium. Theeeere are the Jets fans. Took ‘em awhile, but ya’ just knew they’d come around.

Dolphins 25, Bills 16: Is Keith off tonight, or is it just me? This one was a must-win for the Dolphins, so it works out, then, that they scored more points than the other team. SPORTS!

Dan is settling in nicely. He seems exponentially more comfortable on the show each week. Yay.

Panthers 27, Cardinals 23: “Jake Delhomme versus Kurt Warner in the battle of the former quarterbacks of the Amsterdam Admirals.” Ah, there’s Keith. And Anquan Boldin is back after undergoing multiple surgeries to repair facial & sinus fractures after this from a couple of weeks back. He does really well today, too. Except for the whole losing thing.

Hah! In re: being unable to review a play because you’re out of time outs…
Dan: But do you like that rule, though? Should that be changed, because … isn’t the goal to get the call right?
Cris: … No.
…
Keith: And Dan learns another harsh reality about the NFL.

Seahawks 34, Forty-Niners 13: Oh, no, Keith’s mic is possibly off? DAN, PASS HIM YOURS. THE TIME HAS COME TO RETURN THE FAVOR FROM SO LONG AGO. It’s extra funny because Dan’s mic is at normal strength, whereas Keith seems to just be … highlight-reading louder to compensate, so when Dan laughs, it’s loud.

Browns 23, Jaguars 17: Keith calls them “natural geographic rivals.” Heh. The Browns have won three of their last four games! That’s nice for Browns fans.

Ahhhhhhhh the Giants won!!! I very reluctantly switched the game off to watch this, so … it’s with no small amount of relief to see that it ended well (for me).

Out of time, Bob leaves us all “to our own devices, and choices for the evening…” Bob, what do you think we’re all gonna’ do? I was just going to watch some baseball, but now I’m wondering if there’s something more salacious and/or exciting I could get up to.

That’s it for me tonight. I’ll see you for Wednesday’s Coundown — not sure how Obama’s TV-buy will affect the broadcast, but I’ll be here to relay whatever of Keithly importance should arise.
