These 'dogs won't hunt

Only one player earned points this week in our charity pro football underdog game, and that player got a big 2 points. Over the past three weeks, the group has scored only 11 points in the aggregate. By contrast, in week 6 alone, they racked up 69.

With five regular-season weeks and three playoff weeks left, here's where everyone stands:

No one's playing the Monday game, and so our next event will be the unveiling of next week's 'dogs, on Tuesday. I'd say we're overdue for some big 'uns.

And a reminder, here's what at stake for the top finishers' charities:

• First place - $315
• Second place - $100
• Third place - $75

As Dan Rather says, courage.
