Wrong again, cat food breath! Go Raiders!
Some clown in Denver picked:
SD over SF ———— Prob’ly
Cincy over Cleveland — Cleveland; Cincy took all the talent in the world and bombed with it
Dallas over Wash —— If you think Rex Grossman is the answer, what the Hell is the question? Dallas wins.
HOU over Tenn ——— Yup!
Indy over Jacksonville- Don’t bet more than a quarter. Indy wins.
KC over STL ———– St Louis wins
Miami over Buf ——– Yeah.
Pit over NYJ ———- Yup!
Tampa over Det ——– Never underestimate the Bucs chances of blowing it; Detroit
Ariz over Car ——— Dog game of the day; Arizona wins
Balt over NO ———- The Saints win
Giants over Philly —- Please, please! be right!
ATL over SEA ———- Yeah, that was a tough pick!
Denver over OAK ——- You’re just being a homer; the Raiders, easily.
NE over GB ———— The Patriots
CHI over MINN ——— When was the last scoreless tie in the NFL? Chicago
Be afraid. Be very afraid. Or not.
SD, Cleveland, Dallas, Tennessee, Indy, KC, Buffalo, Tampa, Carolina, Baltimore, Giants, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Oakland, NE, Chicago.
Are you absolutely sure SD will win?
What?
Oh, never mind.
My Vikings are going out with a wimper. Ah, well. I’m not even that upset about it. I’m glad Favre came back, but it didn’t work out. Such is life.
SD over SF
Browns over Bengals
Dallas over Redskins (seriously, Rex effin’ Grossman?)
Texans over Titans
Colts over Jaguars
Chiefs over Rams
Miami over Bills
Jets over Stillers
Lions over Bucs
Cards over Panthers
Ravens over Saints (Superdome team goes outdoors; it’s cold in Baltimore today)
Jeyentz over Igglez
Falcons over Seaweed
Denver over Raiders (Tebow baby!)
Pats over Pack
Bears over Vikes (Tavaris Jackson stunk before Favre got there, and will long after Favre retires; the 3rd stringer looked better!)
Now, to be fair, my picks have stunk this year; so why change now? I can’t believe I’m picking Dallas, but, you know, Rex Grossman?. Anyway, enjoy Football Sunday y’all.
Indy. In a rout.
Esiason, Simms, and Dierdorf are all Teh Suck.
In the stands. Titans over Houston, in what might be Fish’s last game in TN.
JD, don’t you have a date with a greasy midget?
7-0. TD Collie. Brown has 55 yards rushing. Suck on that, Del Frio.
13th 3 and out of the season for the Jags. Mathis with the sack. We are going to take the midget out of the game.
Can anyone tell me if that was a good call on the personal foul?
For no particular reason (not having seen any of the game myself, in other words) I suddenly have a case of the heebie-jeebies over picking Baltimore to beat New Orleans. Just do, is all.
Why do they get a do over on 3rd down?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Our midget, Gary Brackett, is just a player.
Hmmmm. 21-0 Titans with 2:32 left in the 1st. Someone got the message.
Collie is back. 2nd TD. 14-3′ good guys.
Did he wave for a fair catch?
I think I see a couple of routs in the making JD (Dal-Wash, Titans-Texans fer instance), but Indy-Jags doesn’t exactly look like one of them at the moment.
Is Collie alive? He does not look like he is moving.
Austin may just be one.
Austin just may be done.
heh, RTO, I think we get a hazy view into the manner of the original discovery — way back deep in the mists of time — of non causa pro causa.
Has anyone heard anything about Collie?
Del Frio just went for like his 4th 4th down conversion today. Fail.
– The fix is in, in KC.
I do not understand how we got the ball.
Still only the 3rd Quarter, sdferr. I have faith.
30 to 30 with less than 8 in the 4th. There’s yer causa.
Such powers: if only I could turn them to doing good, rather than driving to madness. It’s kinda disgusting, really.
Go ‘coons. We used to say ‘cons. After Vick and a few others left, not so much.
Go Redskins!
This has been my Cowgirl hate for the day. Now, back to work.
TOUCHDOWN !!!!!!!!!!!!! Off the onside kick.
Well, that was unexpected. How to blow an on side kick for 41 yrds…
Faugh, you should be ashamed to root for anything that might make Dan Snyder happy cranky-d, even though the countrapositive results in the happiness of the loathsome Jerry Jones. In that respect it’s kinda like picking between Saddam and Khomeini in the Iran-Iraq war.
Picking between Jones and Snyder is like picking between Pelosi and Reed.
Lions win!!!
Again!!!
Oh, yeah, go Baltimore! Maybe Sportscenter will get around to changing that damn opening sequence for Sportscenter. Work it, work it! Lazy f*ckers…
And the Cowgirlz pull it out of their ass. Well, isn’t that special?
The only problem I have is deciding who I hate more, the Cowboys or the Patriots. The only game I will see this day is the Patriots game, because my father and I will be at the bar. The place is always full of obnoxious Patriots fans (is there any other kind?) during their games.
I can hardly wait. whee.
Deshawn Jackson is a stud.
Detroit, Carolina, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Eagles scoop three touchdowns in the fourth to tie and win in OT? . . . murder-tb-murder-ari-murder-cle-murder/suicide-nyg
Okay, how did the eagles win? I could have watched the last few minutes. Dammit.
– S’ok…I really really hope we play them again in the playoff’s. We’ll kick their bs asses – again. Anything to see Fouts whine.
40 yd TD run huh? What did that look like I wonder?
– Yeh. SL was threatening to tie it up, so something had to be done. Yep. Surprise, surprise.
#38, #39 — Kate’s rule: You’re supposed to pray for an asteroid, not pick a side.

Assuming a Bears win, I’m taking my second pool this season. Drinks are on me!
28 points in the final 7:28 of the 4th quarter.
Most Sundays it is very hard to be a Cowboys fan and today was no different. How hard must it be to be a Giants fan today? I might have some sympathy for them if I didn’t hate them so much.
Well, at least I called Detroit/Tampa Bay right. And the Oakland Raiders stomped the Broncos again, so I am happy.
My earliest wanna-see Super Bowl: Vick vs. Brady. Can’t think of a better storyline: convicted rehabbed felon vs. the almost-forgotten draft pick anyone else could’ve had but passed over 198 times.
The playoff games leading to that will be epic as well, especially Vick in Atlanta and Peyton in snowy New England. Good times.
Dana – Care to place a wager on the ass beating the Raiderettes will take next week? ;-)
mr. jeff caused that nyj safety. victimhood embrace it.
The Giants/Jets & Steelers/Eagles games were the most exciting I’ve seen this season.
Okay, it is a given that I do not care for, but very much respect the Patriots. Having said that, if you are a true football fan, you cannot help but be impressed by and enjoy what Green Bay is doing with Flynn at QB.
– Seeing that fuck head Belichick lose is almost as hood as seeing my team win.
*good*
Kuhn is a human wrecking ball.
New England just had Vince Wilfork, all 873 pounds of him, covering a running back in pass coverage.
Aaron Hernandez is a player.
Pretty fun game.
That kickoff runback was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on a football field.
Yes. And that was on purpose, no? WTF ?!
– I can’t wait til the Cheatriots have to face some real competition. A rookie QB in his first start almost beat them.
He’s listed at 6′-4″, 313lbs. Hilarious stuff, I laughed so hard I couldn’t see the screen anymore.
JD and I were texting each other yesterday after noon: Him at Lucas Stadium watching the Colts, me agonizing at home watching the Eagles game. I was convinced at the beginning of the fourth quarter that the Eagles were going to lose badly. The highlight of the 28 points in less than 8 minute was the punt by the Gnats with 13 seconds left. Their rookie punter, under instructions to PUNT THE BALL OUT OF BOUNDS!!!!! got a high snap and punted the ball quickly. A low line drive to … Deshean Jackson, the fastest guy in the NFL. Jackson promptly fumbles the ball, chases it, picks it up, dekes a guy and then blasts through a small gap in the line, right up the middle. He fakes a couple of guys in the run and there is only one guy who has him lined up for a mighty tackle … until Jason Avant blocks and annihilates the guy. Touchdown, no time left, game over, me screaming at the top of my lungs, which scared the hell out of my wife.
Quite possibly the greatest fourth quarter comeback win I have ever seen. Sent JD capital letters and Smiley Faces.
In. Your. FACE.
Who would you suggest? They’ve beaten the Bears, Steelers, Jets, Ravens, and Colts. With Buffalo and Miami left on the schedule, it looks like you’re going to have to wait until after the first round bye. Perhaps you’re looking forward to a February game in Dallas?.
The Giants can fail in spectacular fashion.

I am still reeling from this.
Evidently God hates New York more than he hates dogs.
My Vikings are going out with a wimper.
Well, the good news is they’ll be back to playing mediocre football next season! Who knows? They may even be able to back their way into the playoffs!
Perhaps you should tighten up the reel and simply accept less drag … or more … whichevah … heh …
BJTex, you, my Cherry Hill pals, and other followers of the green bird deserve a decent cheesesteak and TastyKake today.
I am not sure a fishing analogy works for this. But I have had on a few occasions a really nice salmon on the line in Alaska, only to see it get munched by a sealion as I was reeling it in. It is especially bitter when you manage to get the Chinook’s head to the boat and it counts against your limit. This loss yesterday reminds me of those experiences.
Being a Giant fan includes being able to appreciate them fucking up games in a spectacular way.
Heh, Joe. My Dad once lost a pretty large tuna in Cape Cod Bay,eaten by an aggressive bunch of sharks.
Oh, yea, baybee. Miracle at the Meadowlands, Herb Edwards, 1978. CLANG!!
JD challenged me:
I’m sure that the Colts will be favored, but don’t bet the farm; the Raiders have a decent shot, as long as they can keep having success in the running game.
Raiders 23, Colts 20
And I hear that Tim Tebow is going to start for the Geldings next Sunday. I’ll root for the Donkeys, just ’cause I hope Mr Tebow wins their next two games, to really piss off our friends on the left.
And what is the wager?
Oh, you mean as in cash?
Or can I just post a great big “JD is a football god” on my blog if’n I lose? :)
Cash is always welcome. Gift card from local eatery. Whatever you wish. Raiderettes are gonna get spanked.
That NE lineman returning the kickoff was hysterical.
Yeah, I’m gonna have to pull for the Broncos because of Tebow, as much as it kills me. Just because Tebow is antithesis to the smug atheists who are all going straight to hell anyways. )
