Slip, slide, and away

Hi football fans, there's your sexy pick for the Super Bowl - yet again. I admit this is getting gratuitous..but there's something we can all get behind. hyuk hyuk hyuk

Last night's most excellent Monday Night Football game between the Jets and Patriots was all sturm and no drang. The Patriots mopped the floor with a bunch of guys who used to be called the New York Jets. Clearly, their mouths write checks that their (collective) asses can't cash. The Jets are still a dangerous team, so last night's result means very little - but this year's Patriots are more and more resembling the teams that won championships in 2003 and 2004.

Yes, Redskins fans, I've reached the point in the season where I've dug the hole and held the memorial service and NOW I'm ready to roll my First Wife's rigid corpse into the grave for 2010. Second wife? I'm all in. Go Pats!

[we all need hope in this world, and there is no hope in Ashburn. The sign over Redskins Park tells you to abandon it]

ME GIVE UP (with the proviso that I'll dig up her bones in April of 2011 after the draft and the signing of the latest Big Name Free Agent)

So....moving on. 84-63 for the season and my week of picks stacked up like this:

Houston lost to Philly: Houston's a dog, and Vick showed us all how to treat dogs. Didn't I say I'd start laying off the guy? I'm drunk, I don't know what I'm saying!

New Orleans beat Cincy: this was apparently a close game, somehow. Last year's sexy pick might creep into the Great National Football Discussion sometime soon, they're mostly ignored right now.

Chicago beat Detroit: poor Lions, just lyin' down on the season. Maybe next year

San Francisco lost to Green Bay: weren't the 49ers supposed to win their division? Whoops.

Jax beat Tennessee: I have an idea! Trade Vince Young for Fat Haynesworth!

Denver lost to KC: Josh McDaniels, time to pick up the white courtesy phone, I hear Gordon Lightfoot's serenading you, "carefree highway, let me slip away, slip away on you"

Cleveland beat Miami: takin' it to Brown Town. It gets grosser.

Buffalo lost to Minnesota: crap. I believed in the close losses by Buffalo and took and chance. Vikings appear to have a decent captain at the helm and - lo and behold- Tavaris Jackson is not Danny White after all. Heck, he's not even Gary Hogeboom

Washington lost to the NY Giants: R.I.P., see ya in 2011, Redskins.

Oakland beat San Diego: dammit. I thought they didn't lose in December?

Carolina lost to Seattle: somehow it's possible that a team will "win" the NFC West. Why not Seattle?

Atlanta beat Tampa: tampons everywhere cried tears of blood. ewwwww

St Louis beat Arizona: Quick! Call Dan Snyder! Give up 10 picks and another $100 million for Larry Fitzgerald! Brilliant! THAT'S the answer!

Dallas beats Indianapolis: my big upset call. Colts have played badly and are banged up. Dallas is playing for God-Knows-What, but they're playing better.

Pittsburgh beats Baltimore: whoops. Thought the Ravens would win this one big. Something's fishy about these Ravens, they seem to be more perception than reality.

New England beats NY Jets: big ups to me, and my new wife. May she live long and prosper in the inevitable playoffs.

That's it for now. I'm still down with OPP, yeah you know me
