NFL Week 16 2011

I'm 7-4-3 (there was one week we didn't play) against Rachelle this year. She can't catch me. I know she was all excited about sweeping me last week, but like I told her when she was crying earlier in the year, the law of averages can kick in. So, yeah, she had her best week last week. I'm happy for her, footsie PJ comments on Twitter notwithstanding.

But the time to make my stand is now. Proof of my dominance in our NFL pick wars this year will come from these outstanding picks. Bet the ranch folks. I'm going to beat Rachelle this week.

NFL 2011 Week 10

Rachelle almost broke down and quit last week. But she's a trooper. She is going to continue to try to beat me. It's better to fight and lose than to never fight at all. Good luck, Rachelle. I'm still rooting on myself here, but I feel your pain. Remember last year when I couldn't buy a win at home with heavy favorites?

This week's winning picks:

New Orleans at Atlanta
Houston at Tampa Bay
Arizona at Philadelphia
Washington at Miami
Denver at Kansas City
Tennessee at Carolina
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati
St. Louis at Cleveland
Buffalo at Dallas
Jacksonville at Indianapolis
Baltimore at Seattle
N.Y. Giants at San Francisco
Detroit at Chicago 
New England at N.Y. Jets
Minnesota at Green Bay

If I win again this week, Rachelle should tweet that she wants to "eliminate three Federal departments: the Education dept, the Commerce dept and.... what was the third one? I can't remember, oops."

Then she should tweet Ron Paul and ask him to help her out! ROTFLOL!

Okay. If I lose, I should tweet "Michele Bachmann is hot. Herman Cain asked me to tweet this."

Then I should have to ask Mark Block for a smoke.

(these rules are under consideration pending Rachelle's okay, and of course we'll let everyone know we're kidding so that we don't end up with a Twitter war on our hands)

NFL 2011 Week 9

I won again last week to increase my record to 5-1-1 against Rachelle. There's no need to gloat, given the fact that superiority speaks for itself. So, as is given to routine, allow me to present you with this week's winning picks.

N.Y. Jets at Buffalo
Seattle at Dallas
Cleveland at Houston
Atlanta at Indianapolis
Miami at Kansas City
Tampa Bay at New Orleans
San Francisco at Washington

*Indicates these picks are different from Rachelle's

NFL 2011 Week 2

Rachelle barely squeaked by me for the win with Monday night's late game. I needed Denver for the win, but Oakland was able to get past a feeble and incompetent Kyle Orton to hand the win to my arch rival.

That won't happen this week. I will not be picking Denver (which - the way my luck usually goes - assures that about 5 minutes before game time, they will name Tebow to be their starter and ruin the whole plan, but at least it's better than going with the likelihood that they will start Orton again). I also have resorted to weighing the ESPN power picks more heavily than the CBS Sportsline power picks.

So Rachelle, prepare yourself and your Twitter followers for defeat. This is my week. You're going to go down faster than a triple bacon cheeseburger with extra cheese and a bottle of wine at dinner with Michelle Obama.

Here are this week's winning picks (* indicates Rachelle picked differently):

Chicago At New Orleans

Kansas City At Detroit

Jacksonville At NY Jets

Oakland At Buffalo

Arizona At Washington

Baltimore At Tennessee

Seattle At Pittsburgh

Green Bay At Carolina

Tampa Bay At Minnesota *

Cleveland At Indianapolis

Dallas At San Francisco

Houston At Miami

San Diego At New England *

Cincinnati At Denver *

Philadelphia At Atlanta

St. Louis At NY Giants

One Win Down, Let's Go!!!

You all knew this was coming: I WON LAST WEEK.... That is all ;) On to week two and another win over Patrick, who is better known as #losertman on the twittersphere.

NFL 2011 Week 1

Okay, Rachelle. GAME ON!

This year, I will take Rachelle Friberg out. That "football terrorist" from San Diego (got lights?) who dogged me all last year will find that crony handicapping (I know she gets help from Eddie Burke) won't work this time around.

Polls may be for strippers and cross country skiers, but spreads are for toast and bagels. We will be going head to head, straight up pick the winner outright in each contest.

So watch and take notes, sports fans, as I pick more winners than Rachelle this year. Enjoy!

Here are this weeks picks:


New Orleans
Green Bay

Pittsburgh
Baltimore

Atlanta
Chicago

Cincinnati
Cleveland

Indianapolis
Houston

Tennessee
Jacksonville

Buffalo
Kansas City

Philadelphia
St. Louis

Detroit
Tampa Bay

Carolina
Arizona

Minnesota
San Diego

Seattle
San Francisco

NY Giants
Washington

Dallas
NY Jets

New England
Miami

Oakland
Denver

Dueling Bus Tours: Obama-nation Tour versus Palin's One Nation Tour

Only You Can Rock Me

UFO: Only You Can Rock Me

There are a bunch of 2012 GOP candidates. People have been jumping on and off bandwagons. We watch as the media covers the flavor of the day, which changes just as frequently as the polls do.

Josh Painter at Texas4Palin quotes me on More Quote of the Day Honorable Mention Part 281, but the real thrill is the Queensryche video. That alone makes it worth the click.

As for political candidates, I love all my fellow Republicans. But there's only one that can rock me.
