The scoreboard tells the story…

All you need to know.

Who’s next?

They say these celebrity death things happen in threes.

R.I.P. Sean Taylor, Washington Redskins Safety.

Demented and sad… but social.

Now that the whole Michael Vick/dogfighting thing has more or less resolved a few last things come to mind.
1) It’s not at all surprising some athletes are willing to make themselves sound like idiots defending dogfighting on ESPN. Roy Jones Jr. has obviously taken too many shots to the head, Stephon Marbury had always been a moron, and Fred McCrary has never been interviewed for anything ever. Fred also had the best quote saying “You people have already tried and convicted him (Vick). No Fred, we didn’t convict him… he convicted himself when he took the guilty plea.

2) It is, however, surprising to me that no big-time black lawyer went on TV and played the race card to get Vick free. Oh wait, Johnny Cochran is dead… I forgot.

3) Lastly, I think it’s just plain sad that a guy who had the world at his fingertips and who was worshiped by millions despite being the most overrated player in the NFL year after year, would choose such a sick, barbaric “hobby”.

Week 15 Picks….

A little busy this week what with xmas and in-laws coming to my little corner of paradise. Never too busy for you tho. 4 out of 5 last week, let’s pick ‘em.

Washington at New Orleans.
Hmm. Drew Bress against a pretty sorry ‘Skins pass D. Oh, AND Marques Colston is slated to play.
Saints 48, ‘Skins 17

Tampa Bay at Chicago.
From sunny Tampa to chilly Soldier Field, add in the fact that the Bucs suck.
Bears 28, Bucs 3

Philadelphia at N.Y. Giants
The entire Tri-State area will be tearing their hearts out over this one, I still don’t care.
G-Men 24, Eagles 17

Cleveland at Baltimore
Why bother.
Ravens 31, Browns 6

Cincinnati at Indianapolis
Colts can’t stop the run, Bengals have the worst pass D in the league. Also, it’s December.
Bengals 48, Colts 34

I’m out.

29 and counting…..

Week 14 picks.

Trust me.

Let me just get it out of the way.
Denver at San Diego.
L.T. runs through the Denver D like a bad enchilada and Merriman has rookie Jay Cutler running for his life.
Chargers 41, Denver 10

Chicago at St. Louis
Bears run the ball (“for-God’s-sake-don’t-let-Grossman-pass!) and their defense lays the wood to Marc (I got no O-Line) Bulger.
Bears 21, Rams 6

Tennesee at Houston
Vince Young gets to play in his hometown and Texan fans get to see who they should’ve picked #1.
Titans 21, Texans 14

Cincinnati at Oakland
Heh.
Bengals 42, Raiders 3

New York (Giants) at Carolina
Either a) Eli will become a man and the G-Men will get a much-needed win, b) Chris Weinke will come out of nowhere and get the ball where it needs to be and crush the Big Blue defense or c) none of the above and this game will stink. I’m going with c).
Panthers 10, Giants 7

I’m done.

It’s hard being right 85% of the time…

Let’s look back at my predictions for the 2006 NFL season, shall we?

1) San Diego will win the Super Bowl.
This isn’t looking so crazy now is it?
Highest scoring offense in the league? Check.
God-like talent at running-back? Check.
Top-ten defense? Check.
Shall I go on?

2) Favre will be sorry he stuck around Green Bay.
He’s all but come right out and said it.

3) The Colts will choke in December.
I can make this one every year and be right.

4) Eli will suck.
I make this mostly out of spite, but so far we’re seeing more and more of the whiney, sulking baby who pouted through the first pick of the 2004 draft.

5) T.O. will kill Dallas too.
Ok, I blew this one. Sue me.

Week 14 picks to follow.
