Week 12. Complete.

Well, Elusive has achieved total domination. The week is over. Nice job man. Nice.

It looks like Roy Williams didn't really cost me the week. Even if the Cowboys win, I still can't beat Elusive. Oh well.

Nobody thought the Chargers could beat the Colts?? I mean, besides me?? Huh.

Never saw the Eagles game coming either.... Unbelievable.

Whoops, dude is here to work on the cable. Gotta go.

Symphony of Destruction

Well well well....

I see Elusive and Sharpcheddar had the same idea I did....

(If you're not paying attention, that idea was to go 16, 15, 14 with the first three games on Thursday)

And while you bask in the glow of sitting atop the pool, surely you realize that Dallas had that game put away.

Stupid Roy Williams. Un. Believable. When will that guy stop being a donkey!!?!?! When?!?!?! Never, I guess. 7th Overall Pick in the 2004 draft. Unreal. It's probably good that a couple days have passed here... My girlfriend thinks Roy Williams middle name is "f***ing" after Thursday's complete and utter debacle.

So, you're sitting in my spot atop the pool... Just so you know. And, don't lie to me and tell me you weren't sh***ing a brick during the 4th quarter....

So, good luck fellas.

I may actually have brain damage. Not only are my picks stinking, but I left the house to go to Florida without my bag of toiletries... So, no contact lens stuff, no pills, no nothing. I mean, really, I can't leave without that bag. That's the one thing I desperate cannot live without. Speaking of unreal.

Well, what else. Obviously, Childress got fired. Home for the holidays, with all that cash. Being paid the same, either way. I need a deal like that. 11 months ago, they gave him a monster extension. So what, he forgot how to coach in 11 months??

Ehhh, that was a mercy firing, just like the Wade Phillips firing. I actually felt bad for Wade at the end... that was getting ugly. And the Childress deal had obviously degenerated into nothingness.

In a way, Favre got Mike Sherman fired, to an extent. He kinda got Eric Mangini fired in New York. And now Chilly is gone. But, to be fair, Favre also got Chilly about 18 million dollars. So, you live with the Favre, you die with the Favre.

Well, today's Packers Falcons tilt should be a good one. I'm actually kinda looking forward to this one.

As you can also see clearly from my picks, I am D U N Done with the San Francisco 49ers. How can they be favored on the road over anybody right now??? What is Vegas thinking with that line???

Alright, have fun!

\Rant Mode On

Well, what a day.

I said I was gonna pick crazier... Oh well. I heard all week how great Miami was... Whoops. My source on the ground in Florida has a lot of explaining to do. Actually, I heard any number of analysts say how much they liked Tyler Thigpen. Heh heh. Really?? He looked to me like they may as well have dumped out his locker into a cardboard box, and set the box out by his car in the parking lot. Yeeeesh. Ugly.

When your 3rd string QB is sucking, and you're a Wildcat team, uhhh, why don't you just go Wildcat???

Speaking of ugly, Favre Hating nation had to love today's action. Wow. Is it just me, or is Brad Childress starting to have that Wade Phillips "Just fire me" look on his face?? He gets paid either way... Through 2013, I might add... whether he listens to "Fire Childress" chants at home or not....

I have the Eagles game on here... Eagles D is smothering... Philly did just punt though.

I was trying to think of a more dominating performance than what I saw last week, Eagles destroying the Redskins. The funny and insightful Gregg Easterbrook pointed out that in his Son's high school football games, as a form of "mercy ruling", if a team goes down by 28 or more points, they go to a running clock, where the clock runs continuously, regardless. Had such a rule been in place, Redskins Eagles would have gone to a running clock IN THE FIRST QUARTER! He went on to point out that none of the High School games in his son's league had gone to a running clock that early. Heh heh, enjoy, Redskins fans.

Actually, the Redskins beat the Titans today. Excuse me, I gotta jump off the Titans bandwagon here.... And, I'm off..okay, better. Heh heh, as great as Packer Fans feel today, here's a dose of reality: we lost to the Redskins earlier this year. Yeah.

But back to my point, the only game I can really remember that was that far out of control was Super Bowl 27, Dallas and Buffalo. Buffalo, 7 point favorites. What was the final, 52 to 10?? It was brutal. Okay, I just looked it up, it was 52 to 17. Even then, though, The first quarter ended 14 to 7, Cowboys. Bills had 9 turnovers... 4 picks, and 5 lost fumbles. Ahhh, those were the days. Wikipedia claims it was Cowboys by 6 for the line, that's wrong. I had my life bet on that game, and I know I was getting Cowboys +7...

Anyways, I parked the Eldorado today. Very sad. You know what's even sadder?? My truck got vandalized. I'm missing my rear tailgate emblem, and my Heritage of Ownership badge. Unreal.

So let me quote from Woody Harrelson in the Epic Classic "ZombieLand": "You do NOT F**K with a man's Cadillac!!!!!"

You do not. Period. Let me quote Bill Bixby, in his immortal role as Dr. David Banner: "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Vick scores on a run to the corner of the endzone, Philly up 7 nothin'. Whooops, a little chippiness on the ensuing kickoff... Seems like there's some hard feelings between these two. Go figure, bitter division rivals...

Speaking of bitter division rivals and hard feelings, has Packer Nation purged themselves of all that badness with Brett Favre?? Probably not, but it was a nice win. A huge win actually. We needed that real bad after the Bears beat the Dolphins.

Doesn't Jay Cutler typically throw 3.some picks on average in road games??? Actually yeah, he does. Sadly, the Dolphins dropped 3.something picks, so it evened out.

Aaron Rodgers, 22 of 31 for 301, 141.3 rating.
Brett Favre, 17 of 38 for 208, 1 pick, 51.2 rating.

Now, allegedly, some bloggers with "inside connections" have been saying locally that this rivalry with Favre means a lot more to Rodgers than he lets on. So to make this complete, Rodgers oughtta go ahead and text Jenn Sterger, and invite her out to dinner. Wouldn't that complete the picture???

Heh heh, speaking of Jenn Sterger, is there some reason we're not seeing 15 gratuitous shots per game of Deanna Favre in the stands??? Just wondering.... ;)

The "Epic Renegade Cop" commercial was just on. I love that, the guy is carrying several large caliber handguns, nunchucks, a .308 assault rifle, and a rocket launcher. Heh heh!!! And his face is all cut up, like he's been brawling. Why do you have to brawl when you're a walking armory??? Just wondering...

Well, let's look at this pool for a second. It looks like Sharpcheddar, Ronfic, Big Headed Holy Rollers, and Kathb4 are still alive. A Philly win would help Kathb4 I see, and then a Denver win would do it for her. Looks like Giants Denver gives it to Sharcheddar... The Big Headed Holy Rollers need San Diego somehow... I'm not sure Ronfic could win, but maybe I'm missing something, it's been a long day.

Good luck people!

Well, I have a big announcement for you: I'm gonna arm myself like Epic Renegade Cop, and find the dudes who messed with my truck!

Kidding. No, the announcement is, my picks are for sale.

Yes they are. Are you a Bears Fan?? Go ahead and send me some money, and note how you want me to pick. Clearly, when I take the Bears' opponent with heavy points, it guarantees a Bears win. When I take the Packer opponent, the Packers win.

Now, if two people send me money, on opposite teams, the most money will win out. All you have to do is ask yourself how badly you need your team to win. Simple.

You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. I haven't hit a pick on either team in a month. Go ahead, look it up in the standings.

Giants just sacked Vick. How'd that happen??

OMG, Eagles punt, Giants player decides to pick up the bouncing punt, and gets destroyed... ouch. I need a Celebrex after WATCHING that hit... wuuuhhhff.

Interesting commercial, Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon in "True Grit". Remake I assume?? Looked kinda good.

The Fraud that is Eli Manning just tried to throw a pick... Offensive receiver did a nice job to break it up. Whoops, on second down, Ahmad Bradshaw fumbles it away for the Giants. 6th fumble this season. There ya go, Eagles ball... Can someone explain to me what they see in these Giants??? I'm not seeing it. Sorry, I do not see it. And I'll tell you right now, I CAN'T WAIT to bet against the Bears and Giants in the Playoffs. I haven't seen so much smoke and mirrors since that David Copperfield show I saw...

Wow, Jackson drops the TD pass from Vick... Well okay, it was a little low, but he had him. Akers is good, 10-3 Eagles.

Wow. Ensuing kickoff, Giants returner falls down at the 13 yard line??? And then gets buried, ouch. 1st Down, Brandon Jacobs buried by 4 Eagles for a 2 yard loss... Seriously, I need a pain pill just to watch this. Ouch. Okay, 2nd and 12, Eli Manning throws a pick to Assante Samuel, Eagles ball at the 13 yard line. Lucky it wasn't a pick six.

Eli Manning doing a little explaining to Kevin Gilbride, his Offensive Coordinator.... Good luck with THAT explanation... "Yeah, I thought I'd throw it to Assante Samuel, just to see if he was paying attention..."

Jason Avant, alone in the endzone, drops the easy TD catch?!?!? Ugh. wow. Huh. Settling for an Akers field goal. Giants, again, crazy crazy stupid lucky that that wasn't 7. It could've been 7 three different ways...

Giants are getting totally and completely outplayed here, and it's only 13-3. Collingsworth, coming out of commercial: "Giants are very fortunate this isn't a blowout already..." Seriously, will someone get me a gig at the networks??? My talents are being totally wasted over here....

Gadzooks, do these Eagles cover kickoffs. Giants will start at the 13.

Assante Samuel just blew up Hagan on a quick hot route... ooopps 15 yard penalty. That brings the Giants out to the 30 yard line, wow. 1st Down, Eli tries to throw another pick, falls incomplete. (You think I'm kidding, but I'm not, Patterson had it in his hands...) Okay, back to the ground game, no gain on second down.

How about those Patriots?!?!? Peyton, a very Favreian performance. Brutal late pick, while they are in Field Goal Range. Field Goal ties it. I mean, wow. So much for the "Heady" Peyton Manning, the "Coach on the field", the "offensive mastermind"... Hmmm. Deion Branch of the Pats, 7 catches for 70 yards. This guy couldn't get off the bench in Seattle, and now he's lighting people up with New England. Unreal.

Giants 3rd and 10, incomplete, Eli trying to force the ball to his well covered tight end Boss.

Giants punt rolls in the end zone. 1st down Eagles, Vick 35 yard completion to Macklin. These Eagles have all the answers. First down, Vick flushed, runs for 9 yards. 2nd and 1, 20 yard completion to Macklin. 1st down Eagles, 15 yard line. Hmm, clipping penalty, backs 'em up. Throw to Makclin, at the goal line, incomplete. Hmm. Looks like the G-men have AGAIN held them to a field goal. Whoops, Filed goal is blocked. Wow. Despite being totally outplayed, the Giants are still only down 13-3.

This will mean nothing to people outside Wisconsin, but Laurie Bembenek passed away today. The end of the story, after all these years. She was famously accused of murdering her husband's ex wife, being found guilty, being sent to jail, loudly proclaiming that she was framed by her husband, who also was a police officer... Then she busted out of jail, and was recaptured a few months later in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada... Then more evidence was re-examined, and she was let out of jail on time served... she had recently petitioned outgoing Governor "Diamond" Jim Doyle for a pardon.... Quite a story. It'd make a heckuva Lifetime movie...

Anyways, good luck! Enjoy!

Bye Week??

I guess I took an unscheduled bye week there... sorry.

They transferred me to Madison... hard to recombobulate myself...

Anyways, First off, congrats go out to Elusive for his big win in week 8. Nice job man. He had Green Bay over the Jets. In New York. Coming off a bye. Unreal.

That game caused me to get off my "home teams coming off a bye" theorem... and naturally, home teams coming off a bye haven't lost since.... sigh... oh well.

Congrats also go out to Highz, and his week 9 win. 1 wrong, New England losing to Cleveland. Unreal. Should have been the perfect paper, no losses. On an AUTOPICK, no less. Hold on, I have to vomit....

Wow. Brutal. An autopick...

This week looks like we could have Bears Fan Ardita, or Gregslo. Good luck fellas. There's 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Eagles are up 21 to nothing. Sorry Ardita.

Whoops, Philly just scored again, make it 28 to nuthin'. 1:55 left in the first quarter. Heavy booing in DC. Heavy. Eagles on pace to win 112 to nothing. Redskins Defense hs allowed over 250 yards of offense thus far. Heh heh. Wait, the 'Skins are a home team, coming off a bye.

Donovan McNabb featuring the 1000 yard stare.... Mike Shanahan probably considering inserting Rex Grossman here... What a circus.

3rd and 8, McNabb throws, tipped by the wideout on a very catchable ball, picked off! Okay wait, it hit the ground, but still. This is brutal. They should "mercy rule" the Redskins right now.

How about 'dem Cowboys!!! I'm still kicking myself for not picking them. Even Sharpcheddar didn't have them. Still, I smelled that one coming. My natural hatred of the overrated Giants.... I'm not gonna lie, I may need medical treatment. How did I not see that coming?!?!?

The first quarter is mercifully over. 28 to nothing, Eagles, in the Nation's Capitol. This is the largest lead a visiting team has ever had at the end of the first quarter of an NFL game. Seriously. Mike Tirico just said it.

Tampa Bay, another big win. My source on the ground in Southwest Florida is reporting that people are believing in these Bucs... As well they should.

Whooops, Vick going deep for Macklin... TouchDOOWN!!!! Make it 35 to nothing. Washington is challenging, but they're gonna lose. Ummm, seriously, the Redskins oughtta forfeit right now... this game is over.

Don't feel bad for Ardita. He has a high high pain tolerance. He's a Bear's Fan. He sat through several years of Rex Grossman as his starting QB. Which, actually, in a way, it shocks me that he would take the Redskins. Does Ardita know that the Redskins have Rex Grossman on their roster??? Does he know that Mike Shanahan has shown a willingness to insert Mr. Grossman into real games???

They're panning the crowd here at FedEx Field.... They should start passing out OxyCodone tabs in the concourse. It's not pretty.

Ruling on the field stands, 35 to nothing, Eagles, 14:51 remaining in the second quarter. 9 seconds into the 2nd, antoher TD allowed...

OhmiGod, a sign of life from the Redskins. McNabb deep to his tight end Davis, first and goal, Redskins. Whooops, TD, Redskins. Hold the phone, the Redskins are within 4 Touchdowns!!!

Heh heh, okay, a sarcastic joke, sorry.

Haynesworth is on the sidelines in obvious running situations.... Besides the absurd McNabb drama that is ongoing, we still have the Simmering Haynesworth Drama. Do we have any evidence that Mike Shanahan is still sane??? Any?? I'm gonna say no, no evidence.

Crowd let's out a sarcastic cheer, they just stopped the Eagles on 3rd down. Eagles punting. First Eagles drive of the night that didn't end in a touchdown.

Speaking of the Cowboys, I would hope Andy Reid sent a nice gift to Jason Garrett... Clobbering the Giants gives the Eagles a huge lift towards the playoffs...

What the hell, The Redskins just went deep again and completed it!!! Goal to go, TD REdskins!!! do we actually have a game here??? 35 to 14 now. Skins down 21 now. McNabb smiling on the sidelines. And he has reason to. He just signed a deal with the Skins with $40 million guaranteed dollars. 2 weeks ago, benched. Now, $40 million.

I must ask again, are we sure Shanahan is sane???

Well, this sure looks like Philly. Which sure looks like Gregslo. Congrats man!

Next week, I'll pick even crazier than I have been!!! Stay tuned for that, it promises to be a dooozy...
