6-10 last weekend on the NFL picks. Sh*t. Perhaps I should start handicapping baseball games. Thank God I don't have the money or inclination to gamble.The awful recap:
Lions lost to Vikings: oops. Favre didn't play great, but there's this guy Peterson who's pretty good. Lions are fooling all of you but me....Team of Destiny
Pats dump Bills: of course they did. But Buffalo didn't go quietly because my 2nd wife's defense can't play.
Falcons beat Saints: yup, I called it. Saints haven't looked Super. Let me crow, it gets worse for me.
Titants beat Giants: something wrong with Big Blue
KC beats San Francisco: this just in, KC might have a team. I thought the 49ers played well in defeat Monday night, so I figured that momentum would carry. Nope.
Tampa lost to Steelers: missed BADLY. Pittsburgh has one more game till El Rapist returns, and I'm wondering if they even need him. They look just fine to me.
Bengals drop Panthers: heh. Long season in Carolina.
Ravens defeat Browns: but it was close, and the Cleveland offense racked up some yards on that Baltimore D. That Cleveland kid, Hillis, looked like Riggo out there.
Texans lose to Dallas: not like Dallas was going to go 0-16 this year. I stuck my neck out on this one and got bit.
Jags fall to Eagles: another BAD miss. Vick (woof woof) can apparently do little wrong this season, and will be an Alpo spokesperson by Thanksgiving.
Redskins lose to Rams: blllaaarghghghgh
Raiders lose to Cardinals: what happened to Jason Campbell?
Chargers get beaten in Seattle: See? I picked against too many home teams this week. Didn't see the Chargers playing badly against a young Seattle team
Colts drop Denver: well, picked against THIS home team. No-brainer
Miami beats NY Jets: almost got this one. Tight game. I didn't hear any Collinsworth-isms this Sunday night. No odes to a man's lower body strength. No "he ran up the A hole." Depressing. Miami's orange jerseys are an affront to Dreamsicles everywhere
Packers over Bears: Again, almost. Aaron Rodgers played really well but Pack couldn't run. Is there any player on the field that Jon Gruden DOESN'T like?? Seriously, every guy: "I love to watch him play ball...." Getting close to coining the term "Grudenism" very, very soon.
Soooo.....that's 14-18 for the season. Great start. Not even .500. The worst part of yesterday, as I mourned yet another Redskin loss, was hearing the DC sports guys start "weaving the narrative" that Mike Shanahan is not a good coach...that "this is the kind of thing that got him run out of Denver" and how he needs to do......something - they weren't very specific. Play Devin Thomas. Trade Fat Albert.
Oh wait, how about this??? Have a real draft in 2011. And, wowie zowie - another good draft in 2012. Build a team?
The single best part of writing down all of this silliness is to see, over time, how I do at something I have no expertise on whatsoever. I get to display my ignorance all over the place and then forget how dumb I really am by the next time I start typing.
