Your L.A. NFL Week 9 TV schedule: Can we have the bye-week teams slug it out for most ineptness?

We'll allow Tom Cable to throw the first punch. Because his Oakland Raiders are on hiatis this week -- maybe furlough -- and lead a group of teams that have a bye week interestingly scheduled in the wake of more crazy off-the-field activity.

Such as: Cleveland, with a bye, can find a new GM.

Or St. Louis, with a bye, can find a new owner.

Or Minnesota, with a bye, can give Brett Favre time vacation hunting in Green Bay. Hunting, of course, for a new house. 'Cause now that he proved what he had to prove, the Packers will want him back in '10.

Or the New York Jets, with a bye, can reprogram their rookie QB.

Or Buffalo, with a bye. Just because.

SUNDAY:
== 10 a.m., Channel 2: Miami at New England (with Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdoft; instead of Baltimore-Cincinnati, Houston-Indianapolis or Kansas City-Jacksonville)
== 10 a.m., Channel 11: Arizona at Chicago (with Joe Buck -- unless there's a bunch of rainouts in the World Series -- and Troy Aikman, instead of Washington-Atlanta or Green Bay-Tampa Bay)
== 1:15 p.m., Channel 2: San Diego at N.Y. Giants (with Jim Nantz and Phil Simms, instead of Tennessee-San Francisco; Fox also has Carolina-New Orleans and Detroit-Seattle in this window)
== 5:15 p.m., Channel 4: Dallas at Philadelphia (with Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth and Andrea Kremer)

MONDAY
== 5:30 p.m., ESPN: Pittsburgh at Denver (with Mike Tirico, Ron Jaworski and Jon Gruden, who is hopefully not still wearing a Halloween mask from last Monday, two days late)

Bye week: Buffalo, Cleveland, Minnesota, N.Y. Jets, Oakland and St. Louis.
