Several teams in the NFL could use a switch at the quarterback position, whether the need is immediate or impending (before the start of next season). Here is that list, in reverse order according to need.

Last week I was just kidding about 50% of my picks. This week it’s no joke.
Houston Texans (2-3) @ Cincinnati Bengals (4-1). This is the week to see if the Bengals are for real. So far they’ve beaten easy teams and division teams. What will happen when they come up against an explosive team from [...]

Following Week 4 in the NFL, I figured it’s high time to compile Penguin Pride’s power rankings.
1. New York Giants (4-0)
The Giants are such a powerhouse team. Eli Manning is the #6 quarterback in the NFL, have a 5-star offensive line, and a terrific defense. If the Giants don’t make the playoffs, it will be [...]

So apparently there was, up till recently, a sex column in The Towerlight, our school paper. It was extremely controversial, with many letters to the editor from old people saying how much they hated it, religious nuts saying how much Jesus hated it, and other people saying how much they love it.

Alan: Don’t judge me.
Aaron: LMAO
We have believed for quite some time that Mike would reply “LMAO” to anything. We never really decided to bring this up to Mike. Especially in this context:
Besides the fact that my grandmother is alive and well, it seems Mike has over-reacted slightly. Alan seems overwhelmed and will likely hide [...]
