NFL Week 16 Interview

The weather outside is frightful... but our 10-year-old NFL analyst is so delightful. Let's fling him a few questions.

1. After the Cards' embarrassing blowout loss to the Pats, Cris Collinsworth termed them "the worst playoff team in living memory." Do you agree?

If they play in the playoffs like they did against the Patriots and Vikings, that's what they deserve to be labeled.

2. Will the Lions go 0-16? If you were rebuilding this team next year, where would you start?

Yes, and I would start at the skill positions. Dan Orlovsky and Rudi Johnson can not win them games.

3. So Brett Favre has (almost certainly) failed to take the Jets to the post-season, while deposed Jet QB "What Impresses You About" Chad Pennington has helped the Dolphins to an astonishing playoff run. Did Brett make a mistake? Did the Jets?

I don't think he did. He's had quite a good season in New York. Same for the Jets, even though he won't be around for much longer.

4. Is the jury still out on Aaron Rodgers?

Yes. But he's looked very good tonight against Chicago, even at the helm of an underachieving 5-9 team.

5. There seems to be a wide divergence of opinion about this year's NFL MVP. With the season almost over, who's your pick?

I really don't know. This has been quite an odd year, with only a few teams standing out.

6. The technology now exists to put a GPS chip in the football, thereby eliminating measurements and all the attendant nonsense. Would you do it?

It might cost a lot, but I would do it. So much broadcast time is wasted on measurements.

7. Which major US city is most deserving of an expansion team?

Los Angeles. Not just because I live there, but because so many teams have come there and gone.

8. Which current NFL city deserves to lose their franchise?

Detroit, maybe?

9. Lotta heat on Eagles coach Andy Reid these days. Personally, I like the guy, but would you fire him?

Perhaps, but probably not. The staff as a whole may need to be reevaluated.

10. While we're on the Eagles, Donovan McNabb -- keep him or trade him?

It all depends on the free agents. If the free agent quarterbacks are not that good, they should keep McNabb.

11. Would you ever like to participate in a football pool? How about a fantasy league? How about actually playing football?

Maybe a pool or league, but I'd rather play flag football casually than in a league. *shudders*

12. Before you started watching football, you hardly ever saw a TV commercial. Now you run through the house singing them. Which are your favorites, and which do you dislike the most?

Just because I see them doesn't mean I like them, but if I had to choose a favorite, I would choose that Peyton Manning at hotels MasterCard commercial. I especially dislike the "he went to Jared" commercials.

13. Now comes the spot where Henry gets to type anything he wants.

The Lions have already set the record for most losses in a season.
