I'm The Rabbi, video editor of "On The Sportslines" and welcome to the midpoint of the NFL season. Yes, now every team has (with the exception of the Texans and Giants), played 8 games in their season (for the record the Texans and Giants have 9 games under their belts). With all of this, we call for a special edition of the football recap of the weekend, so welcome to....

10 THINGS WE LEARNED IN FOOTBALL THIS WEEKEND- THE HALF OFF SALE!

1. Half off all Iowa- Big 10 Champion T-Shirts!

The magical season of Iowa's has come to a very very tragic end. OK, so it's not tragic, but when all the magic went out of Iowa with one ankle injury, it does seem very depressing. Even worse though than the 17-10 loss to Northwestern was what happened next. Ohio State won their biggest game in about 3 years, defeating the Penn State Nittany Lions in Happy Valley. Now, instead of Iowa getting a Big 10 title, even with a loss, Iowa is in a must win situation against OSU this Saturday. No win, no Big 10 title, and all of a sudden the Buckeyes go to the Rose Bowl.

2. Half off all Charlie Weis-National Champion T Shirts!

Yes, for all of those who thought that Charlie Weis would lead Notre Dame back to prominance, here's a dose of reality for ya. After losing 43 straight games to the Fighting Irish, the Navy Midshipmen have now won 2 out of their last 3 in the series, both at South Bend. Charlie Weis' was a star when he first got hired by Notre Dame back in 2005. Now, 35-24 in his 59 games after that, his star is gone. It pretty much seems like coach Weis is a goner by the end of the season.

3. Half off all Kurt Warner Interceptions!

But, they are hard to come by. A week after, a terrifyingly bad performance against Carolina, Kurt Warner turned his 47.8 QB rating a week ago, to 132.9 thanks to a victory against Chicago. Chivago's defense was virtually non existant, letting up 182 yards rushing and 261 yards in the air. It was enough for a standing boovation at Soldier Field. Kurt Warner continues a very strange post super bowl year.

4. Half off all Bucanneer Pirate unis!

That's cause they WON this week wearing their hideous orange uniforms! It's a miracle (doesn't reliving the beginning years supposed to lead to BAD things for the Bucs?). Aaron Rodgers (surprise) got sacked 6 more times. Rogers counterpart (Josh Freeman) outplayed him, throwing as many TD's as Togers threw INT's (3). Now Green Bay falls to 4-4, 3 games back of division leading Minnesota. More and more, it seems like last years NFC champs will also be this years.

5. Half off the Happy Birthday Wildcat Hats!

Yeah, you may not be needing those anymore. No Dolphin rusher rushed over 50 yards against the mighty Patriots in a 27-17 loss. In the 4th quarter, down 7, game on the line, starting at their own 14, the Dolphins got.....1 first down. Ouch. The Dolphins need to find a way to establish Chad Henne a little bit more, and save the Wildcat for those confused teams on defense (for example: J-E-T-S-JETS-JETS-JETS). The Dolphins are now at 3-5, a tiebreaker down to the 6-2 Patriots, and may wanna start some fine tuning for 2010.

6. Half off all paper bags (New Orleans area only)

Why do you need those? You're 8-0! A 30-20 win against the Panthers yesterday gives the Saints 2 very important things, 1. A lead over the idle Vikings by a game for the best record in the NFL, and 2. A legit chance at an undefeated season. Don't believe me? They only play1 road team against a winning record the rest of the way (Panthers rematch is in Week 17 and the other 3 road games are the Rams, Bucs, Redskins, only the Falcons are winning recordwise.), and they can beat any team in the NFL. Like it's been said before, it's like watching thr 99 Rams a decade later.

7. Half off all Cincinnati Bungle shirts!

If the Bengals can win next Sunday at Pittsburgh, they will do something I don't even think the most optimistic of people expected: a sweep of both division rivals who made the conference title game 10 months ago. But while a win over the defending champion Steelers would be a big one, look at their win yesterday. Another 100 yard game on the guard from Cedric Benson, he has 2 century mark games against the Revens this season, only the first player in 12 years to do it twice in the same season vs. the Ravens. More impressively, the Ravens destroyed Joe Flacco, keeping him under 200 yards, and made him throw 2 INT's. Ouch.

8. Half off all Colts 17-0 Shirts!

It's only an accompishment of you do it within one season, or don't even lose a playoff game in that span, but it takes talent to pull of 17 straight regular season wins in a row. Indy was down late in the 4th, but a Joesph Addai winning score put them up for good. A Kris Brown missed field goal by the Texans as time expired gave the Indy Colts another reason to go crazy in the regular season. By the way, the 20-17 win by Indy now gives the Colts the 3rd longest regular season winning streak EVER. Okay, so maybe it is an accomplishment.

9. Half off all Giant shoes that say D-Fense on them.

Cause we don't wanna lie. Let's focus on two aspects of the now mediocre Giants this week. One is coaching. Up 3 with 4:25 left on the Chargers 4, the Giants best O-Lineman, Chris Snee gets called for a holding penalty. This sends the Giants back to the 14. Now deciding clock was more important then being UP TWO SCORES, they go for the field goal. They're up 6 and that leads to the steadfast of their medicority, the D. 106 seconds, 80 yards, all leading up to a pass to a pass from Phillip Rivers to Vincent Jackson. The Giant defense was asked to make one stop on the final drive by the Chargers and they FAILED. Now the Chargers regain confidence at 5-3, and the Giants need to regian something as they go into their bye week at a mediocre 5-4, only the second team with a 4 game losing streak after starting 5-0 in NFL history.

10. Half off all Tony Romo sucks in the clutch shirts!

Did you know Tony Romo has won like 11 straight games in December? Yeah, it may no be clutch but I know you're shocked too. Maybe being underestimated in the NFC East helps, cause all of a sudden the Cowboys are red hot after their 20-16 win over the Eagles. Tony Romo threw for 300+ yards (4th time in 8 games this year), and the Boys just made offensive and defensive plays when they had to. Hell, even Roy Williams was happy, he was the boys leading reciever yardage wise Sunday (although Miles Austin's one catch was a more significant contribution sent it went for a TD). The Cowboys stand at 6-2 now with the Packers, Skins, and Raiders coming up, which could mean 8-3 at least.

My favorite team the G-Men, may be on a bye week (hell they've been on a bye month, what's another week?) but I'll keep giving you this column till the end of the year (yay! yay?). See you next Sunday.
