Legend 10- signing in

I love the Patsies over the Green Machine!!! Love the Pats in a rebound game. Classic Pats, they'll run off 5 or 6 wins and storm into the p-offs. I'm over the Colts loss. Can you tell? Pats by 10!!

I love the Eagles over the Skins!!! Reggie Brown just got an extension for five years over ten million dollars. That's like an NBA contract to a washed up former allstar (ala Vin Baker or Penny Hardaway), or a highschool bust (ala Kwame Brown or Tyson Chandler). Eagles by 3!!!

I love the Falcors over the Browns!!! Brown is a very chic color these days. I'm surprised that some lispy, makeup adorner, wearing a designer torn jean jacket isn't redesigning Paul Brown stadium. Falcors by 17!!!

I love the Dolphs over the Chiefs!!! Can't explain why I have trouble buying into the Chiefs, but the Dolphins seem like a team that could play above 500 the rest of the way. I mean ESPN tells me that Saban is a genius! Dolphs by 6!!

I love the Vikes at home!!! It's scary to think that the Vikes are only a game better than the Pack, but after last weeks unwatchable game I shouldn't complain. How the hell is Troy Williamson a first round pick right now? If the Vikes wanted to draft a speedy receiver who can't catch passes they could've drafted Todd Holmberg for way cheaper. Vikes by 10!

I love the Lions to win two in a row! The 9ers are the type of team that never looks the same from week to week. They're sort of like Teen Wolf but less predictable and w/out sweet editing. Lions by 7!

I love the Colts to keep the dream alive!!! Anybody read Simmon's article on why he hates the Colts? Yeah, ditto. Loved the article. Loved the truth-telling therein. And yes, if not before, the streak will end in week 14 @ JAX. For today, Colts by 17!!!

I love the Ravens in Titsville! I'd love to pick the upset but can't do it. Does anybody think that Vince Youngs pudgy cheeks somewhat resemble Fats Domino? Raves by 7!!

I love the Jags over the Tex!! Revenge for a road loss shall be the Jaxs. If I could pick any NFLers legs to tear off and club another person with, I'd choose Maurice Jones-Drew. When I watch him run I gethungry for lamb. JAX by 15!!

I love the Bolts in Cinci!!! I'll probably get burned here, but I think Rivers should pull this one out. Drew who? Bolts by 6!

I love the Bacos in Poison Oak!! In honor of Randy’s Monday night gabbing on the sidelines, I added Hans’ photoshop with modern “artist” Matthew Barney growing out of his head. I love when he puts his pig makeup on. I thought about showing one of those videos in youth group this week. B’cos by 10!

I love Zona after the bye-week!!! Am I crazy for picking the Cards? Maybe. Would it be crazier to put any sort of faith in a Dallas based anything? Seriously, if I lived down there I think I’d be ready to punch anyone at a seconds notice. That southern swagger offsets me. Yeah, I picked the Boys to win the division, but I didn’t know that sir-boobs-a lot would have to deal with diamonds-on-the-soles-of-her-shoes and I-always-get-pulled-for low-round-draft-picks. What a mess. Cards by 7!

I love the S’hawks over the Rams!!! Weakest division! Weakest division! Don’t watch this game, it will have no bearing on who plays after the wild card week. S’hawks by 10!!!

I love the Steelers over the Saints!!! The Steelers have looked awesome this year, and the Saints stink as usual. That’s why I’m quite logically picking this game. Ketchup by 3!!

I love the Bears in a rebound game!! Hope I’m wrong here, but I think the Bears will bounce back. But Bears fans, hang on to those ticket to Miami. The Pats and G-men should be a pretty good game. Bears by 6!!

I love the Pants over the Bucs!!! With Julius Peppers on my mind, I wanted to congratulate Poppy Sundquist on her wedding. She is now Poppy Pepper, one of the greatest names ever. I thought I would share my top five memories of Luke and/or Poppy Pepper: 5) Standing at the top of the stairs in the Sundquist residence talking to Poppy. Bob Sundquist was sleeping next door with his shirt off and Poppy was whispering to me about how mad Bob would be if he knew what kind of music she listened to. I asked what her favorite band was and she replied, “Third eye Blind.” 4) When Luke almost ran me over twice in the Sundquist driveway. I’m not kidding. He pulled into the driveway (mind you he should never be driving) as I was walking from my car to the house. I had to slap the hood of his car to make him aware of my presence in broad daylight. He got startled, looked at me and laughed and signaled me across. Then he started driving again and actually bumped me. I’ve been scared of cutlass supremes ever since. 3) Having Poppy violently argue that Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore was played by Ben Stiller. She said with tears coming to her eyes, “Like I don’t know Ben Stiller. He’s my favorite actor ever.” Classic. 2) I have a distinct memory of Jessie (the 120 pound black bear of a dog) aggressively sniffing Luke’s crotch as he ate a steak that Bob had grilled. Luke simply sat there and took it. This one during one of the many times when Jesse was in heat and kept a collection of stuffed animals at the bottom of the stairs pretending that they were her babies. 1) The first time I ever saw Poppy was on a sleep over freshman year of high school. Dave and I had fallen asleep to a movie and at three in the morning a mysterious figure emerged from the kitchen. I had never seen Poppy, nor did I know that Dave had an Asian sister with physical/mental disabilities, so I was confounded. I watched Poppy enter our living room unaware of our presence. She started walking towards me and walked straight into the coffee table shin first. She made a chicken like noise (if you know Poppy, you know the noise). Then she turned around and left at which point Dave said, “Oh yeah, that’s my sister Poppy.” Anyways, congrats Poppy, you know I love you.

Ciao
