CHARLESTON AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. –
Jeff "Dex" Poindexter broke the hex, ate some TexMex, applied at FedEx, snacked on Rice Chex, went to the gym to flex, browsed the NEX, then reached his apex reeling off a blistering 14-2 record to claim the weekly Swami crown.

In weekend action, Dallas defeated Washington in an offensive explosion 7-6, Kurt Warner and Big Ben Roethlesberger both got their gourds cracked, New England rolled on heading for a monumental showdown with the undefeated Saints, the Colts remained perfect and the Rams, Browns and Bills still stink.
This week's "cellar dweller dunce cap" award goes to newcomer Michael "I need a gimmick" Minnick whose first offering was a dismal 8-8.
