What Billy are looking for a job with the Bush White House?
Oh, wait I watched it again and Henderson was going for the ball. It was all Hansbrough's fault. Did you see him tried to break Henderson's elbow by viciously bashing his face into it.

Still trying to revive this blog.
I have to get this Sports Blog rolling, because right now this blog is close to being Barbaro.
Looks like he is going to need more than 10,000 points to get another life.
Adam "Pac Man" Jones Defensive Back for the Titans is waging a one man battle against the Cincinnati Bengals. To show who is the is the king of the Numerous Felony League.
It appears that during the chaos (Thanks to Jason Whitlock at AOL) errrr I mean the fun that was NBA's All Star Weekend, that Mr. Pac Man ran had a situation.
Apparently the NFL and the law do not appreciate when you go into a strip club, bite the bouncer and leave the club after your friend shoots three people. All of this stemming from an incident with a trash bag filled with $81,000 dollars. (Deadspin)Hey I think the man is innocent and the police are looking for the wrong guy. In fact we all know who really behind this. It was these guys, they are still pissed at Pac Man.
It makes sense. After all those years of being chased, eaten and cut out from the profits. It was only a matter of time before they were going to get back at Pac Man.

I am talking about the #1 seed in the AFC. Especially if it is coached by Marty Schottenheimer.

Not pretty.
Wow, Notre Dame looked awful again in a bowl game. That was their ninth straight bowl loss. Things have not been that bad for the Irish since Oliver Cromwell ran up the score.
Tuesday, January 02, 2007
Now that was fun.
If you watched the Fiesta Bowl and you did not enjoy, then you are a sorry person. Even if you are a Sooner fan, I think even as tough as this was, you have to say that it was fun.
That game may be the best game, college or pro played in the last 3 years, maybe even more. Hell I enjoyed it so much I may even download it from I-Tunes.
The game had everything you could want and more. Underdog jumps out to a lead. Builds lead, then favorite comes back with a great come back of it's own to tie, then quickly get a pick for six to take the lead with just over a minute. Then underdog drives down and scores on a hook and ladder play with under ten seconds to play. And to top it, after giving up a TD on the first play of OT, the Underdog wins it by scoring on 4th down and then going for two, and pulling off the Statue of Liberty play. It will be tough to top that.

Kind of puts things into prospective.
Just when it seemed that seeing the Broncos lose it's way out of the playoffs with a soul crushing loss to the 49ers. It got worse, much worse.
This is a shame no matter who, what, when or where this happens.

Just looking at it and the whole playoff scenario it lead me to suggest that the NFC go from:

Conference

No

Whoa I have coughed up some better stuff than what could be the fifth and sixth seeds in the NFC.

What they hell was that fourth quarter?

The Gutty Little Bruins are back!
Where the hell have you guys been?
Saturday was great, I should kick myself for not going but I had a chance to do something really cool that day. But I was able to listen to most of the first half and watch the second half. It would have been great to be there and it would have almost topped 1996, but this one is sweet since it screwed USC.
So to the Trojans and their fans, hey you can still go to Glendale, all you have to do is just get on the 110 to the 5. I love seeing you people eat it. Also since you will be playing in the Rose Bowl please don't mess the place up.
It was just so nice to see USC suffer. I had way too much of hearing them crow. Okay sure it was out of spite and I will begrudgingly give respect for what they have accomplished the past few season. I am glad that Karl got this win and that this is the start of the program turning the corner.
What I saw Saturday was the team I had been waiting for, well defensively. The O still has a way to go, but that will be fixed. It was great seeing UCLA as the aggressor. Hitting USC in the mouth and taking USC shots and not wavering. Speaking of that, how about that cheap shot from USC. That guy lead with his helmet and made contact with the QB's helmet. Stinking USC.
Now Karl, go get a bowl win and get this team geared up for 07.

Wow, it is a little dusty hear.
Well what can I say,
The UCLA Bruins are looking at another possible beating Saturday. I do wish they could just find a way to ruin it for USC. Oh I would love it so, but UCLA does not have the Offense to do much right now. UCLA will play better than last year since I still think they did not show up to play. The score will be close at half and SC will pull away. I know there are many who want Dorrell out, but I am not one of them (well me and sadly many USC fans). I really want him to succeed. He has done a good job in cleaning up Toledo's mess and is starting to build thing, but if he can't find a way to win this one, then he becomes UCLA's Paul Hackett.
The Kings sucks - Only the Coyotes are worse, so I have that at least.
The Lakers - actually may be better than we all thought. NBA title no, 48 wins yes.
Man United - blew a golden chance to put more ground between them and Chelsea by allowing a goal late last Saturday.
The Broncos - Sunday night we may witness a car wreck, but a car wreck that had to happen. I had faith in Jake, but he just does not have it. Jake, right now you not even Brian Griese, hell not even Bubby Brister. Sorry it ended like this Jake, it's Chinatown, Jake. I am still going to hope against hope that Denver finds a way to win Sunday night. They need every win they can get, since next week they go to San Diego and that is just not going to end well for us, but I hope, my power of negative thinking can work to bring the Broncos back.
I will try to get back to delivering the underwhelming sports good to your here at the Sports Shed.

I hate you Peyton Manning.
I am sure you are a nice guy, but as a football player, I hate you so very much.
Friday, October 27, 2006
OK, it is time for the Friday Football Bonanza.
The Two Minute Drill version.
Okay first let me give you ten awful college picks.
Northwestern at Michigan (-30) Last weekend was a rough one for the Cats, but this weekend they will not blow a 35 point lead, or come back from one. Michigan 49 - 10
Notre Dame at Navy (+13) Will the Middies every beat the Irish, even if Navy had their QB they will not. Notre Dame 28 - 13
Oklahoma at Missouri (-1.5) Here is one of the better teams that is flying under the radar. They are not a BCS team, but the Tigers will play in a decent bowl. Tigers 27 - 22
USC at Oregon State (+10.5) The Trojans still keep winning, but it had been ugly. The Beavers will cause some problems but the Trojans will have their W, but not cover. USC 24 - 14
Wake Forest at North Carolina (+8.5) The Demon Deacons 24th in the nation are a bad 2nd half from being unbeaten. Again not a threat for the BCS, but will be playing closer to Jan 1st. Wake Forest 31 - 19
Washington State at UCLA (-1.5) Gut check time UCLA, so if you can finish up retching over last weeks should-have-been-win-but-became-a-loss. Bruins save their season, well until Cal and SC beat on them. UCLA 26 - 24
Tennessee at South Carolina (+3.5) Even without the Tennessee Mascot biting opponents the Vols will get the win, but it is not going to be easy. Tennessee 20 - 16
Texas at Texas Tech (+10.5) Looks like Mack Brown has things chugging along, caught a huge break last week. They keep their BSC hopes alive with a win in Waco. Texas 39 - 17
Florida State at Maryland (+4.5) Don't look now but things are getting ugly in Tallahassee. Bobby, I am looking at my watch and it may be time to go. But that will not matter this week as they beat the Terps. Florida State 21 - 14
Miami at Georgia Tech (-5) And everyone was kung fu fighting, man those. . . oh that was Miami's last game. This week they go to Atlanta. The last time their were there they had their dignity stomped on at the Peach Bowl, by LSU. They meet a team that whacked them last year in Miami. GT will be rambling and the Canes will be the Wreck. Georgia Tech 29 - 17
Okay quick NFL Power Poll Time.
This week since we all the teams back on the charts since now everyone has finally won a game, but don't worry those bottom feeders will lose those spots soon enough.
1. Colts - They get the spot as the Bears were off. Huge game this week at Denver.
2. Bears - They are who we think they are, if you want to crown them, crown their asses.
3. Broncos - Huge game this week, would be nice if the Offense could stop in for a bit.
4. Saints - Sean Payton may be up for coach of the decade with this team.
5. Patriots - Still not the powerhouse, but they win. Huge game Monday night, may be without Seymour
6. Bengals - Now, let us see if they get their swagger back. They still have problems stuffing the run.
7. Giants - Moving up, second straight impressive road win. Now can they beat the team that always gives them fits, themselves.
8. Chargers - Just when you think you got a handle on a team, the next four weeks will be a test. The DB's still suck.
9. Ravens - Problem was not O coordinator it the guys executing the plays that need to be fired.
10. Rams - Tough loss two weeks ago. Now have a shot this week, on the road, against a Charger team that now has issues.
11. Falcons - Big, big win. Though injuries on D may come back to haunt them. Also Vick teases the fans again, he has to give them more of what he showed Sunday.
12. Vikings - Monday night they get the Pats at the dome. They have been better than expected and will show that Monday.
13. Seahawks - What's that about avoiding the Super Bowl Loser curse?
14. Jets - Anyone see that the Jets have a lot of winnable games coming up and could sneak in as a wild card. I know I am shocked myself.
15. Eagles - What should really piss of Eagles fans is not the 62 yard FG to win, but two straight weeks spotting teams big leads.
16. Panthers - Should have won last week, but they a chance to get out their frustrations on the Cowboys.
17. Chiefs - Hold the elevator guys, their might be a chance that the Chiefs got Brodie Croyle this weekend.
18. Jaguars - ????????????????
19. Cowboys - Only here because there are too many that are even worse. Folks it's going to get worse, trust me.
20. Buccaneers - The last three weeks show that this team has some spark, sadly the their records has to include the first two weeks.
21. Steelers - You could make the argument they are better than some teams ahead with better records, but I am not hearing it today.
22. 49ers - Getting better, but they still are lacking talent, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
23. Texans - Two wins and it is not November.
24. Redskins - Two words "Hot Mess"
25. Packers - Beating a NFL team with Joey Harrington does count according to the NFL, but should it?
26. Titans - Fisher may be doing some of his best coaching, sadly he will not be around to see it come to fruition
27. Bills - Happy to have the Sabers taking the spot light.
28. Dolphins - So now can we tone down the Saban is genius talk
29. Browns - If this keeps up, fans may pray that the team is set a blaze, just like the lake was many moons ago.
30. Lions - Just like the last Taurus rolling off the assembly line, Lions fans wish they can see the end of Matt Millen's draft picks.
31. Raiders - Maybe that terrorist it threat did occur, since the Cards and Raiders played, that is the equivalent to a dirty bomb.
32. Cardinals - Phoenix area awaits word if NFL will award them an expansion franchise.
Week 8 Picks
I have not done the research I have wanted to, but here they are.
Atlanta at Cincinnati (-3.5) Both teams looked good in wins, rebounding from some tough losses. Both teams will pound the ball at each other. But the Bengals will be use their speed to contain Vick. They will also get some plays in the passing game since Abraham is out and other dinged. Bengals 30 - 20
Tampa Bay at New York Giants (-9) It is Barber vs. Barber! The Bucs have played well the last three weeks, but they will be in the cold playing against a team that will terrorize their rookie QB. Now the key is, will Giants show up and play like favorites. I say yes. Giants 25 - 13
San Francisco at Chicago (-16) 16 points, the Bears are good and the Niners are rough around the edges, but 16. The Super Bowl hypes will begin it march after this weekend, but the Bears do not cover 16, the Niners still remember last year. Bears 24 - 17
Jacksonville at Philadelphia (-7.5) Questions are swirling about Leftwich. Hey even with Garrard the Jags have problems on offense. The Eagles will take advatage of the Jags injuries on D to get the W. Eagles 28 - 10
Seattle at Kansas City (-4) Seneca Wallace vs Brodie Croyle now that is an epic battle, if it was week 2 of the preseason. Sad to say, but this would be a cake walk if Huard was playing. I like the home team, the have a running back. Cheifs 23 - 14
Houston at Tennessee (-3) I wonder if there was no gambling or fantasy football, would they even play this game. Titans 26 - 16
Baltimore at New Orleans (-1.5) The Saints will get a huge test this week. They face a great Raven D, so this week it is on the D to get them short fields and make life miserable for the Ravens. Saints 20 - 17
Arizona at Green Bay (-4) These two teams would not even be in the running for playoff spots in the CFL. Packers 35 - 24
St. Louis at San Diego (-9.5) What looked like an easy game could be a trap game for the Chargers. They do have Merriman this week, but the Rams can throw the ball if they have to. I like the Rams, hell I like them to win. Rams 24 - 20
New York Jets at Cleveland (-2) How is Cleveland even favored? Jets 27 - 16
Pittsburgh at Oakland (+9) This game used to conger images of some epic battles. This week it congers up a Steelers road win. Steelers 31 - 17
Dallas at Carolina (-6) Cowboys made right move going to Romo. He gets sacked 5 times this weekend, not 8 like Bledsoe would have. Panthers 26 - 13
Indianapolis at Denver (-3) As much as I have had a good feeling about Denver this week. It only means they will get beat. The Colts will make it a long afternoon for Denver and the calls for Cutler will be at a fever pitch. Colts 31 - 10
Monday Night
New England at Minnesota (+2) This will not be a cakewalk for the Pats, in fact I think the Vikes pull an upset. The reason being is the Pats will not be able to run it and the Vikes will make enough plays on D to thwart New England. Also if Seymour is out, I think the Vikes will be able to grind it out on that D. Vikes 19 - 16
Okay, I may come back and change things so don't too attached.
Okay first let me give you ten awful college picks.

Washout
So Game 4 was a washout, things do not look so rosy tonight, so someone could become Mr. November, or December . . .
Again nothing like baseball and freezing temps.

World Series Update
Well the Redbirds came out with their ace and took Game 2.
Chris Carpenter was brilliant, the Tigers looked like Karen Carpenter looking for a meal. Sure they were looking, but they ended up with nothing.
I think if the Tigers could have it back, they would have tried to get the DP in the 4th.
The Tigers have looked awful at the plate this series so far. There are too many Tigers hold a hefty .000 averages.
Zumaya zuthrewa the game away in the 7th.
It is still good baseball, but think how much more entertaining it would be if the players could feel their hands and feet.
If it gets any colder then Fox will break out their track-a-puck technology.
Hey, I didn't know Prisonbreak was on Fox.
If the Tigers win, do think Jeremy Bonderman or anyone in the Tigers organization will crank call Billy Beane about Moneyball.
Speaking of Bonderman he is up against the NLCS MVP Suppan to Nuts. On the frozen tundra of Busch Stadium.
Hey, I didn't know they sold Budweiser at Busch.

It is still good baseball, but think how much more entertaining it would be if the players could feel their hands and feet.
If it gets any colder then Fox will break out their track-a-puck technology.
Hey, I didn't know Prisonbreak was on Fox.
If the Tigers win, do think Jeremy Bonderman or anyone in the Tigers organization will crank call Billy Beane about Moneyball.
Speaking of Bonderman he is up against the NLCS MVP Suppan to Nuts. On the frozen tundra of Busch Stadium.
Hey, I didn't know they sold Budweiser at Busch.

I think this may be even beyond Hawkeye's skill.
As crazy as Week # 7 was in the NFL, it was also a brutal week for many teams injury wise. There were quite a few big injuries, that along with guys who are already banged up, it is a wonder how teams even have enough guys to dress on Sunday. Yes they earn huge bucks, and they know what they are going into, but the amount of pain an NFL player endures is staggering.
Some of the big names will be out of action. Some for a couple weeks, some for the season. Take a look you see it's a who's who. The one omission is Drew Bledsoe who feelings are hurt.

From the Chared Remains
Let me now finish up the post mortem on my Weak # 7 picks.
Denver at Cleveland (+4.5) My pick Denver 19 Cleveland 12 Reality Denver 17 - 7. W (W) The Broncos do it again, if it was not for a Plummer Int in the 4th, the Broncos had a shot at another game without giving up a TD. The D was lights out again, it not only knock around the Browns, but it knocked out it's Offensive Coordinator. Even as great as the performance was the O is still worrisome. Jake had two picks, they dropped another TD pass and had to settle for 3. This will not be enough to beat the likes of the Colts who roll into Denver this week. To make things worse, they lose their left tackle for the year. So Christmas is coming early for Freeney, Brock and Mathis. This weekend 17 points is not going to do it. The Offense has to get them points and put pressure on the Colts Defense which has been a weak link. They need to grind them up in the high altitude. But they are 5 -1 and on top of the division, so things are not dire. The next few weeks we see what the Broncos are made of. The Browns may need to be put down by a vet.
Minnesota at Seattle (-6.5) My pick Seattle 27 - 17 Reality Minnesota 31 - 13 L (L) I hate you Seattle, I hate you. Thanks to you, my roto team is screwed. First Alexander and now Hassleback. You better pray that Robbie Gould kicks 9 FG's a game or I am coming for blood. Wow, the Vikes took it to the Seachickens. The Seahawks were in this game till Hasselback went down and then the Vikes were off. Seneca Wallace didn't look so hot. The Vikes are a legit playoff team. It can play some D and they grind out the yards. If they can get more efficient, then the Bears need to keep the foot on the pedal because the Vikes will be there if the Bears some how fall over themselves. Now the Seachickens will have to get through one week without both of their stars, and two more with out Hassleback. They go to KC, home for a Bye/Oakland and St. Louis, so what seemed a lock for a division repeat may now become a panicked run for a wildcard.
Arizona at Oakland (+1.5) My pick Arizona 19 - 10 Surreality Oakland 22 - 9. L (L)From it get worse department. The Cardinals go from the embarrassment of losing a 20 point lead at home, to an embarrassing loss to the worst team in football. Looking at this game, you have to ask, are there really any winners here. I don't think so. This pick was one of my dumbest yet.
New York Giants at Dallas ( -3.5) My Pick Dallas 23 -30 Reality Giants 36 - 22. L (W) I said the Giants would cover, but I feel covered in dog shit for picking the Cowboys. I looks like Romo era has begun, and not too well by the looks of it. It was not pretty. He had some moments, but there were some bad throws. Not as bad as Bledsoe's throw in the 2nd. Drew WTF? Even I know that you do not make that throw. How that throw did not kill Parcells amazes me, or that he did not kill Bledsoe is also a mystery. So it is a good day for the Cowboy haters of the world as they eagerly watch this bus driving toward the cliff. As for the G-Men, they hold first place for now. The team that was ready to kill each other after the Seahawk game seem to finding a rhythm.
So Weak Seven goes into the books as:
4 - 9 SU
4 - 9 ATS
Oh wait I there was a bit of sunshine on this weekend. Looking at my college picks I did better.
9 - 1 SU
5 - 5 ATS
Now let us look at the big board for the totals.
College
44 - 12 SU (67%)
22 - 21 - 3 ATS (41%)
NFL
65 - 35 SU (65%)
40 - 55 - 5 ATS (40%)
Why are these looking more like my English grades.

Week #7
Sorry I could not get my picks to you sooner. Looking at them maybe it was for the best. But it is weeks like this that make me say,"I LOVE THE NFL". Just when you think you have a handle on things, they take a totally different turn. Come on a 62 yard field goal to win, at sea level, that is nuts! Oh do I love this game so. I know I would be bemoaning if it was the Broncos losing a game like that, but seriously it was an entertaining weekend. The scary thing is I didn't even watch any of it. If I had, my brain would have melted.
Now let us look at me and my supposed football knowledge. Here are my picks I had researched and plotted out as of late Saturday afternoon.
San Diego at Kansas City (+5) My Pick San Diego 28 - 13. Reality Kansas City 30 - 27. L (L) Well I would have loved to known that Lights out was going to be sitting in the penalty box for the next four games. But I did not look at that the Chiefs are 19-6 at home the last 3 years and 14-9-1 ATS. But the Chiefs were desperate and again we see that the Chargers can't cover people. Now with Merriman out and a couple of other injuries the Chargers now have some issues. Also it looks like the Chargers are having problems springing L.T. He did catch and throw a TD, but he still has yet to get 100 yards rushing. L.J. on the other hand did show up and let the Chargers know it. If you wanted to see TE's you got it here. The only thing that topped them was what happened in Atlanta.
Pittsburgh at Atlanta (+2.5) My pick Pittsburgh 27 - 19 Reality Atlanta 41 - 38 OT. L (L) It is this game that will make me want to blow up Time Warner Cable. Since I don't have the NFL Network I will not be able to watch the replay of this. Shame on you Time Warner, shame. This game reminds me of the Simpson's episode (Homer the Heretic) Except from The Simpson Archive
Homer turns on the television, only to be disappointed that it's a discussion show.
" We interrupt this public affairs program in order to bring you a football game."
Homer polishes off a bag of chips as he watches the football game.
"Oh, Doctor! A 98-yard triple-reverse ties the score at 63--63! We have seen nothing but razzle-dazzle here today, three visits from Morganna the Kissing Bandit, and the surprising return of Jim Brown!"
That sums it up. Vick throwing for 4 TD's and not one of those was an INT being taken back for six. Take that L.T., maybe we will have Qb controversy at Brisco High. Big Ben throws for three scores. Gets knocked out, then Batch comes in and gets two himself, including one late to get them tied. Ward getting three scores, one without a shoe. Alge Crumpler, crumpling DB's all over the field. You would have thought that the Steelers where trying to tackle both Crumpler's (come on you forgot about Carlston). Then the end of regulation where they make the kick, but does not count. Which leads to a miss, but a penalty that moves it closer for one more shot. And that one is missed by a player who roomed with Otto Graham. Then the Steelers get a shot, but lose that opportunity to the penalty that the Rams thought should have occurred last weekend. Sorry I have to take some Dramamine I am getting woozy. It is a game though I think both teams fans should not be too happy with. The Steelers gained 500 yards and lost, thanks to costly turnover that the Falcons made them pay for. Now the Super Bowl Champs are 2 - 5 and it is not getting any easier from here on it. Falcon fans, until Vick does this week in and week out he will constantly tease you. They did a better job stopping the run, but giving up half a k, does not bode well.
Green Bay at Miami (-4.5) My pick Miami 23 - 17. Reality Green Bay 34 - 24. L (L) Joey Harrington throws it 62 times, of course you are going to lose. But Miami you were winning this game at half and you have Ronnie Brown, and you let Joey throw it. Surprise, surprise he throws three INT's, and one of those was returned for a TD. It is bad times for the Miami football teams. Green Bay congrats you beat someone who worse than you and they did most of the work for you.
New England at Buffalo (+5.5) My pick New England 23 - 20. Reality New England 28 - 6 W (L) Even when I win I lose. I thought this Buffalo team would at least show up and give the Pats problems like they did not opening day. Nope, the only trouble they game the Pats was that of Boredom. Though the Pats losing Seymour for any amount of time will hurt. The Bills just look lost right now. The Pats aren't getting style points, but they keep winning.
Jacksonville at Houston (+9.5) My pick Jacksonville 20 - 16. Reality Houston 27 - 7 ! L (W) Okay I thought that the Texans would cover the points, I did not expect them to drop an anvil on them. The Jags lack of a big play target kills them. That along with the Jekly and Hyde personality they have will keep them from being a threat to get to the Super Bowl. They are kind of like a defensive minded version old Atalnta Hawks of the late 80's worlds of talent, but they just put it together for extended periods of time. The Texans have won two games, and it's week 7. See they didn't need Reggie Bush.
Detroit at New York (-3.5) My pick New York 20 - 17 Reality New York 31 - 24 W (L) I had faith in the Jets, but not enough. The scrappy Jets are over .500. They did the right thing with the draft. Going with Ferguson and the steal, Mangold was the right way. Now if Pennington can stay upright, they have may get back sooner than later, but these are the Jets and disaster is always around the corner. Lions try to take solice in that they are not the worst team in the NFL.
Philadelphia at Tampa Bay (+5)My pick Philadelphia 31 - 20 Reality Tampa Bay 23 - 20. L (L) I think the man who pens Fortress of Pillows put it best on how most Eagles fans feel today, "62 yard kick in the groin". To see the team make huge play to get the lead back late to lose it on that. I am still shaking my head, he cleared that by a couple of yards, and he did at sea level. This the same man who Giant fans hated, comes up with this. But then if Donovan was not throwing passes to the Barber who not retiring then maybe they are not in this situation. Also, Donovan pre-game nachos never are good idea.
Carolina at Cinncinati (-3.5) My pick Carolina 24 - 20 Reality Cinncinati 17 - 14. L (W) Jake, why did you go all Plummer and throw that INT. Well it looks like the Panthers are doing what they do best. I know they were the underdog, but this was a game they should have won and they didn't. This team is taking the Saints old mantle of team who you can never trust. The Bengals got out with a win. Hey, gutsy call on fourth and 1, late in the game. You better be glad it worked, because there would be problems with this team if they had slipped 3 - 3. Do they rebound and play like what the experts expect? Well will see.
Washington at Indianapolis (-9) My pick Indianapolis 29 - 21 Reality Indianapolis 36 - 22. W (L) Well it looks like the Colts giving up a 2nd for Booger worked out for them. Since they were down another DL he helped. The Skins again fall over themselves. I think the 15 play drive, down 33 - 14, where they missed a FG sums up their day. There last two drives were that 15 play one in the 3rd and a 14 play drive that got them a late touchdown. Guys you needs scores and you need them quick. Even against a cover 2 you have to move the ball up the field. Take some chances. But hey, you are the Redskins, it is all about winning in the off season.
Well I am looking at my watch I have to book it out of here. I will finish this up tomorrow. But before I go here is my Monday Night Pick.
New York Giants at Dallas (-3.5) This one will be close, I think the Cowboys eek it out, the Giants cover, but Bledsoe holds the dogs off for one more week. Dallas 23 - 20.
