After Manilow in Milwaukee, QT and Blaine sing the praises of Miami

Even Now after the game is over, it's still hard to believe QT and Blaine were Ready To Take A Chance Again by choosing the Dolphins (0-6) over the Rams (4-2) in the Sunday Football Picks.  Could It Be Magic in Miami in Week 7?  It's A Miracle indeed as the Dolphins stunned the Rams 31-14 and declared Looks Like We Made It.  They told their diehard fans This One's For You.

The bold prediction Up Front from husband and wife was two days after they attended Barry Manilow's "One Last Time" concert at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, where they ended up getting lost Somewhere In The Night and muttering This Can't Be Real.  But each can now say I Made It Through The Rain after they finally found an open ramp to the expressway Somewhere Down The Road, and arrived back in town at 1:30 a.m. in stormy weather.  Whew!  They obviously didn't have to worry If Tomorrow Never Comes because the next day unfortunately arrived during that crazy journey.  At least it wasn't Daybreak quite yet.

If Memory serves correct, Blaine and QT used the amazing Dolphins victory to achieve 9-4 and 8-5 records, respectively, to lead the group.  They felt like dancing at the Copacabana, but Mark also was 8-5 to maintain his four-game advantage and Stay atop the leaderboard.  He always seems to tell the others they can't get The Best Of Me.

Cruising around the NFL, it was quite a Weekend In New England for the Patriots, who won their 21st straight game with a Heart of Steel by edging the undefeated Jets 13-7.  The struggling Bears were Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again in Tampa, but the Buccaneers were running On The Sunny Side Of The Street and prevailed 19-7.  That left the Bears Bluer Than Blue and wondering Where Or When they would win again.  It might be Seven More Years, and In Another World.

How about those Kansas City Chiefs, who definitely spoke with One Voice very loudly in crushing the mighty Falcons 56-10.  Let's Hang On and get taken to Wild Places by this incredible offense, fans said.  Touchdowns were Dirt Cheap for Priest Holmes and Derrick Blaylock, who each scored four times!  Now that's Beautiful Music on Some Sweet Day.

When October Goes for Carolina, the Panthers certainly won't miss it because they fell to 1-5 at the hands of the surging Chargers.  Turn The Radio Up if you're listening in Green Bay because the Packers were scoring All The Time against the Cowboys in an easy 41-20 victory.  The Kid Inside Brett Favre had a total blast.  And buy those Oakland newspapers and Read 'Em And Weep because the Raiders dropped into last place after a 31-26 loss to the Saints.  With tough teams in their division, Oakland knows It's A Long Way Up, so you can Say Goodbye to their chances.

Who Needs To Dream in Philadelphia?  Not the Eagles because they are in Sweet Heaven with a 6-0 record after slipping by the Browns 34-31 in overtime.  For Cleveland, it was The One That Got Away.

The Colts are telling their Friends and fans Please Don't Be Scared after a 27-24 loss at home to the Jaguars.  Peyton Manning and Co. definitely expect to be doing the Bandstand Boogie in this year's playoffs with all of their talent.  On the East Coast, the Giants had been playing well but couldn't find their New York City Rhythm on Sunday as the visiting Lions surprised them 28-13 just across the Hudson River from Manhattan.  New York fans were left singing the Big City Blues.

Ain't It A Shame for the Seahawks, who lost their third straight game after starting 3-0.  Of course Life Will Go On, but they were supposed to go to the Super Bowl this year.  The Cardinals showed them that even Fools Get Lucky as they won 25-17 and tasted the Sweet Life for a change.  Consider it A Gift Of Love from Seattle, which will likely smash Arizona The Second Time Around later this season.

Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing in Baltimore, where the Ravens' hard-nosed defense made the Bills Black And Blue.  Buffalo's offense was Losing Touch and seemed lost in the Bermuda Triangle.   There was definitely no Harmony for the Bills, and they never went All The Way to the end zone in the 20-6 defeat.  One Of These Days they'll get it right.

Once And For All, always pick the Vikings in domes because that's When The Good Times Come Again.  Minnesota coasted past Tennessee 20-3, making the faltering Titans realize that Some Good Things Never Last.  The Vikings are Home Again next week, so more Big Fun is on the way.

You've reached the end of this musical story, so let's Say No More.  It's been a Sentimental Journey through the Barry Manilow archives.  QT would certainly love to See The Show Again maybe One More Time, but her 58-year-old musical icon is officially done touring.  Come Monday, QT will realize that although 70 Manilow tunes were named here, two of his biggest are missing.  So let's not fail to mention Mandy and I Write The Songs (they just didn't fit anywhere else!).  That's officially 72.
