Name: LaDainian Tomlinson

Position: Running back

Current Team: New York Jets

Outcome of game: Bye week

Analysis: Tomlinson should continue his fantastic season next week and will have many opportunities to run against Green Bay. The Packers rank 23rd in opposing rushing yards with offenses averaging 124 yards per game against them. Shonn Greene, the other Jets running back, should also find some running lanes and should see some more time after resting during the team's bye week.

Nothing good is coming from the movie "Jackass 3D." Besides branding grotesque images into my mind that I may never be able to erase, this movie is a teenage boy's mother's worst nightmare.

Never mind a plot 8212; this movie lacks any theatrical structure. "Jackass 3D" simply consists of one vigorously dumb stunt after the next, performed by a group of not quite boy-aged men who are, in reality, not the group of best friends they make themselves out to be.
