\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!
