So, the best thing in football happened this week, and it was what happened between Patrick and myself. I BEAT Patrick, that's right, I BEAT @reagantman!!! How cool is that! No, while we tied one week, the remaining weeks have been won by him, so I have a little catching up to do, but I've always been a come-from-behind to win kind of a girl. In the words of the slime himself, Rahmbo "Dead Fish" Emanuel, "I won, you lost!". I think Patrick is going to be sorry that he didn't do a bet this week because this just means I have another week to show off that fabulously humiliating picture of him- thanks buddy!!!
So, while riding the tide of momentum, the following are my power picks for Week 8:
HOU at BUF: HOU
CLE at CHI: CHI
SEA at DAL: DAL
STL at DET: DET
SF at IND: IND
MIA at NYJ: NY
NYG at PHI: NYG
DEN at BAL: BAL
JAC at TEN: JAC
OAK at SD: SAN DIEGO!!!Bolts baby!!!
CAR at ARI: ARI
MIN at GNBAY: GNBAY
ATL at NO: NO

I Suck
I had five picks wrong in my football pool for week 7. Rachelle Friberg only had two wrong. We bet a humiliating picture. And since I lost, here is my humiliating picture:
I hope Sarah Palin forgives me for losing the bet.
As for Rachelle, she's toast next week!

Palin's Picks
NFL 2009 Week 8: Head To Head Power Picks
We love trying to pick the outcomes of football games here on Power Picks. But there is another handicapper who has been making picks in some very important political races.
Last week, Sarah Palin endorsed Doug Hoffman for the NY 23rd Congressional District. This week, Palin expressed her support for Chris Christie in NJ and Bob McDonnell in VA in their gubernatorial races.
I'm wondering, if she threw her support behind the Cowboys would they get an 8 point bounce in the spread?
The real close race is Christie - Corzine in NJ. And while Corzine has been playing horribly, Christie is having a tough time advancing the ball against the staunch liberal defense that New Jersey is known for. Palin's facebook note could be the equivalent of a political field goal at the end of the race. But if she actually stumped for him, I bet they could get back to a five point lead easily.
Palin averages a 3 point bounce on statewide races and an 8 point bounce on local races. One wonders, is she the Peyton Manning of the GOP? Can she earn the starting position at QB in 2012? Stay tuned.

Eta Theta Tau Twitter Sorority
Okay college fans, here are some sweeties for you to get to know. The other night on twitter they formed an informal sorority which I dubbed the Eta Theta Tau Twitter Sorority. Look up those Greek letters and see what they stand for.
What makes them so Eta Theta Tau is not only are they easy on the eyes, but they are also intelligent women who are politically active in getting people to come on board with a grassroots movement to get our government back into the hands of the people and to wrestle it away from radicals, liberals and special interests.
The sorority isn't closed; so there may be more updates to add new members as they join the group. I believe true conservativism is the equivalent of an ideological bikini on a woman. I don't want to be completely sexist here, though. We need to recognize intellectual characteristics that are important as well.
Since this site is designed to promote a conservative's view on sports and pop culture, it's only fitting that we showcase the movement's more attractive elements.
(click on pictures to view their twitter sites)
All of these ladies are also supporters of one of the greatest point guards in Wasilla High School history, Sarah Palin. Palin helped her team win the state championship playing with a fractured ankle. Known as "the Barracuda" for her tenacious defense and winning drive, Palin would later go on to become mayor of Wasilla, governor of Alaska and of course our favorite vice presidential candidate of all time.
Of course, I have a very strict litmus test when it comes to choosing who I support in the political arena. While it is important that you are reverent to the ideals and philosophy of the Founding Fathers and Ronald Reagan, you don't get my vote unless you prove the ultimate commitment and the ultimate support of the ultimate team.
The Yankees can now go on to win the World Series after being graced by the presence of the one and only Sarah Palin.

It's Week 7, Not Week 6, Silly
Here we go again!!! It's time for another exciting week of football ahead. I have to admit that last week was REAL tough on
me because not only did I lose-again (something, by the way, I'm not used to doing), but I saw my team the Chargers lose in MNF. Now, while it is only one loss, it's an accumulation of things that makes it hard to watch my team anymore. I will still watch and always be a die-hard fan, but I fear that, until we part ways with our head coach-whom I cringed at when he was hired- we will continue to spiral out of control faster than Dorothy's house did on "The Wizard of Oz," but unlike Dorothy, who longed to be once again surrounded by the familiarity of home, it may make no difference for the NFL's best-dressed team- my Chargers.
I don't want to sound like a depressed cookie, which I never am, but I just had to vent- blame it on the loss and the terrible taste I still have in my mouth. Losing to a division rival is the worst, and losing to the much-hated Broncos is even harder. I gotta look at the bright side, something I always try to do, and just picture Patrick with his picture of his favorite president of all time, President Obama and a note explaining just how awesome a girl I am.... AWWW, I DEFINITELY feel so much better now!!! Thanks, Patrick, for helping me to see the light!!!
Here are my Week 7 Power Picks!!! (And, uh Patrick, you might wanna fix the heading of your picks- Week 6 was so last week... LOL. You wouldn't wanna give Joey B. A run for his money):
IND at STL: IND
MIN at PIT: PIT
NE at TB: NE
SF at HOU: HOU
GNBAY at CLE: GNBAY
SD at KC: SD
NYJ at OAK: NYJ
BUF at CAR: CAR
ATL at DAL: DAL
CHI at CIN: CIN
NO at MIA: NO
ARI at NYG: NYG
PHI at WAS: PHI

NFL 2009 Week 7: Head To Head Power Picks
I'm going to make my picks on Oprah!
Okay, so I'm not going to make my picks on Oprah. I tried to get on the show, but she's got a pretty big line-up already set ahead of me. So, I guess I don't get to talk about Demarcus Ware and the swarming Cowboy defense. Nor do I get to plug my blogs or my twitter account.
Man, I tell you, I get no respect. Here I am, a hard working guy looking to get ahead in life, and I can't get any PR. The boy in the balloon idea is out. That one was used by someone else - and it didn't really work out anyway. I was going to put together a band and go on Fox and Friends, but Lynyrd Skynyrd took my spot.
Forget about the fact that I beat Rachelle Friberg again last week. I know she tries really hard. And she's a good sport. I know she wants to see me in a picture with a picture of Barack Obama. The ultimate humiliation folks: me in a picture with Barack Obama. I'd rather be watching Letterman.
I'm still thinking of what I can have Rachelle do if she loses the bet this week. I'll give it some thought and get back to you.
Meanwhile, Oprah has landed the big one folks. She landed THE 'Cuda! Biggest fish in the talk show sea, baby.
But if you think that's something to talk about, just take a look at these:

Week 6 Power Picks from a Hometown Girl
You know when you can feel something good is about to happen, and you can just taste it? Well, fellow pigskinners, Week Six is my week!!! Now, I have to admit that my conservative partner in crime, Patrick, is a great pick artist, so I'm feeling the pressure. I feel like it's the bottom of the ninth in a softball game, and my team in down by a run. There's a runner on 2nd and 3rd, and it's up to me to knock my girls in. Just as I'm not afraid of a little liberal hate, I'm not afraid of stepping up to the plate and hitting them in. Sarah Palin is my role model, and if she can stand the heat, then, so can I. So, Patrick, watch out because I'm suited up and ready to fight to win!!! Plus, I REALLY want to are a picture of Patrick with his Obama picture and written shoutout to me! So, football fanatics, here are my week six picks- Read them and weep Pati boy. Just as I'm a hometown girl, this week, it's all about the home teams by and large:
HOU at CIN: CIN
DET at GNBAY: GNBAY
BAL at MIN: BAL
NYG at NO: NO
CLE at PIT: PIT
CAR at TB: TB
KC at WAS: WAS
STL at JAC: JAC
ARI at SEA: SEA
PHI at OAK: PHI
TEN at NE: NE
BUF at NYJ: NYJ
CHI at ATL: ATL
DEN at SD: SD MY BOYS ARE RESTED AND READY TO KICK SOME BRONCO TAIL! EVEN PATRICK PICKED THEM, WHICH MAKES ME SUPER HAPPY!
