Ripe for the pickin'

Friday fun is here once more, and I'm fitting this in amongst some work and hockey practice and driving my kids all around. Weekends are more difficult than weekdays around here.

From time to time someone asks about the title of this blog, "The Village EEdiot." Yes, yes. "Village Idiot," although apt, was taken. So I cleverly borrowed the term "eediot" from the great Ren and Stimpy cartoon. My favorite episode is the one where Cousin Sven visits Ren & Stimpy. He arrives, hilarity ensues. Anyway, that's the really interesting story behind the title. Pretty glad you read all this, huh?

On to Glory.....football picks for the week. Here goes

Cincinnati at Atlanta: Hrmmm.....tough one. Bengals have played unevenly, and the Falcons (the so-called "best team in the NFC" were spanked by Philly. Uh.....Quick! Decide!!! OK, Falcons.

Washington at Chicago: Redskins. Watch, they'll lose just because I picked 'em.

Philly at Tennessee: Philly looked great beating the supposed best team in the NFC (who's the dumbass who said THAT?) and the Titans are....pretty good. At home, Titans

Jacksonville at KC: oh yes, Jacksonville still has a team. Chiefs at home.

Pittsburgh at Miami: I'm feeling Miami here, but I think the Steelers will win.

Cleveland at New Orleans: Saints.

St Louis at Tampa Bay: St. Louis is ascendant. So is Tampa, but the Rams are further along.

San Francisco at Carolina: long season in Carolina, 6 times in a row! 49ers

Buffalo at Baltimore: like the JV-varsity game....a turkey shoot. Ravens.

Arizona at Seattle : ah, the maddening NFC West. Every team a dog. Seattle.

New England at San Diego: Norv ain't coaching the Ravens, which means the Chargers are in trouble against a Pats D that is maturing. Patriots.

Oakland at Denver: tough to choose against Denver at home. I won't. Broncos.

Minnesota at Green Bay: people say to me every day, "Hey, you haven't weighed in yet on the Brett Favre/Jen Sterger scandal....what say you?" And my reply is that I think it's________. Packers.

NY Giants at Dallas: If Dallas loses this one I think they're season is about coked, oops! I mean cooked. Jerry Jones wishes this group was called "South America's Team." Giants.

35-38 for the season, it can go either way at this point....Enjoy Bread
