Week 5 - Leggie

I love the Redskins to upend the Lions!!! Hey Detroit Lion fans (if you do really exist), I’ve got a song for you, “Back on the chain gang”, guess what? You are a Pretender. In fact you’re Chrissie Hynde, the leader of the Pretenders. Every fan is Minny, Chi-town, and GB is smirking with me because we know that you are going to have colossal meltdown soon. We’ve been watching it for years – we want the real Lions back. We want Scott Mitchell, Charlie Batch , Joey Harrington – we want the 4th quarter meltdowns and botched field goal snaps. Come back to us Detroit. Come back. The Redskins will bring the real Detroit back to America on Sunday. Skins by 12!!!

I love the Cards over the Rams!!! News flash, a team is bad enough that Gus Frerotte is going to be starting. You have to believe that Gus Frerotte and Scott Linehan have something going: Either they are in a romantic relationship or Gus videotaped Scott drunk at a Karoake bar singing Wilson Phillip’s Release Me in his underwear and is using that tape to blackmail Scott in order to keep an NFL job in Minnesota, Miami, and now St. Louis. A guess it’s more likely that Scott has continually overvalued ol’ Gus and it may not matter because Scott has no surpassed Romeo Crennel and jack Del Rio as the most likely coach to walk to the plank. BTW, expect the 2 QB system in AZ to last about as long as a new ABC comedy. Do you expect Matt Leinart to be Ok giving the final two minutes of each half to a 40 year old guy who looks like he could’ve been in Menudo? It’ll work this week though. Cards by 10!!!

I love the Saints coming off a bye week over the Pants who are coming off the realization that they payed David Carr a lot of actual American money! How come the Pants haven’t taken more heat for their horrible start? This team was supposed to be good right? I know that the Saints are banged up, but they’ve had a week out of the spotlight and I like them in a rebound game. Let me just ask the question that nobody seems to want to ask. What is that thing on Drew Brees face? Birth mark, scar, permanent marker, grease stain? It always remind me of Jim Carrey in the Cable Guy when he’s at Medeival Times and he lays the potato skins on his face and does the Silence of the Lambs bit. Remember that? Saints by 6!!!

I love the Jags in Arrowhead!!! Yes that’s right I love the Jags again this week. There isn’t a team more mercurial and hard to figure out than the Jags. They’ll lose a horrible home game and then win on the road. I like this team to go completely under the radar and have a shot at the Wild Card. I also like Maurice Jones Drew if we ever have a food shortage and have to turn to cannibalism. I don’t want to sound weird but I love Jones Drew’s thighs. Those guys are meaty. Look for the Jags and meat thighs to run the Chiefs into the ground. Jags and the well dressed Jack Del Rio by 3!!!
