The NFL unveils some 2006 schedule highlights. Two bits of awesomeness:

-- A Monday night doubleheader (!!) on Sept. 11 (...?), Vikings at Washington the early game, Raiders at Bolts the late (starts at 10:15 Eastern!).

-- A Thanksgiving tripleheader, as the Chefs join the traditional Lions and Cowboys as Turkey-Day hosts, hosting (respectively) Denver, Miami and Tampa Bay. The bad news? Broncs-Chefs game is on NFL Network only. What the hell?

Two steps forward, one back. Meh. At least I know which icon to use.

Igh, it's always a scary day when the Raiders come to town (not for the football, necessarily, but for the obligatory parking-lot fistfights, grandstand riots and occasional knifings that come with such a visit). Having them come on a day like 9/11, though? It's been a while since I did any research into omens and portents, but that's just flat-out unsettling.

For how many consecutive years must the Lions suck before they stop getting Thanksgiving games?
