Simpler than most are predicting. Manning will have one easy victory to pump up the sports world about this being “his year” before he has his annual chin-to-chest walk off the field next week. I don’t think he’ll ever win a ring, but the “chief” point in KC’s loss revolves around Trent Green’s head - it hasn’t been the same since it got clocked earlier in the season. They’ll run the ball 7,000 times, but still won’t be enough for a close game.
Colts 35, Chiefs 14

Seahawks @ Dallas
Seattle by 2.5
You’d think the Cowboys would be showcasing their passing game with Owens & Glenn (both 1,000 yarders), but Hasselbeck, regardless of the lower rating, was just there (SB) and has the opportunity to blow-up Dallas’ crappy pass defense (24th). Plus, Romo’s drop might be suspect of his mental game and he might be thinking about Honolulu too soon; doesn’t look ready for the big games and Seattle’s experienced line will be reminding him of that all game. If he gets popped early, it might be a boring blow-out to watch. If the Seahawks protect the ball and watch the turnovers, they shouldn’t have a problem.

Jets @ Patriots
NE by 8.5
Let the intolerable TV & radio sport shows talk about unfriendly handshakes &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; “bad blood”…ooohhhhhh, drama. Don’t get me wrong; Belichick’s silent ego is damn-sure worried about losing to the Genius again, but he’s always more business than personal. His mistake will not be by vendetta or spite; if he tries to adjust from his home loss to NY, he might shoot himself in the foot. Easy E proved he can play chess with Bill, and, more importantly, that Beli can be out-coached. Let’s see what the new turf in Foxborough does to Brady’s collarbone since Vilma will fly at him on carpet. If the Jets keep their 3-4 pressure on and win the time-of-possession battle, Belichick will be reaching up to shake Manigini’s hand…from his knees.

Giants @ Eagles
Philly by 7
Actually would have liked to hear more about this one, but ESPN is doing another 2-hour special on dominoes after Lou Holtz finishes his commentary on phlegm he started 4 months ago. Isn’t this a huge rivalry? Aren’t they playing each other in the playoffs? Coughlin was a few minutes away from being axed to going to the playoffs. Whatever; they’ll probably still drop him if he doesn’t get to at least the NFC Champ game. Manning will be pressured too much to be productive, so they’ll try and take advantage of the Eagles run defense, which may be their only chance. I still think it will be the better match-up this week, and it may come down to special teams, which should be interesting with Feely and Akers. Could be a heartbreaker - always nice to revel in.
Eagles 27, Giants 24

SFUCC YOU, MIAMI!

2007-01-05T13:42:00.000-05:00

With the loss of Saban, and the looming return of Ricky Williams, it may be necessary for the Doll-fans to stack up on some ho-ho’s and Kabala psalms (or whatever is currently hip to pray to). First off, everyone knew Saint Nick was leaving since Xmas, ESPECIALLY South Florida fans, err…I mean South Florida “Seasonal Followers Under Corrupt Conditions” or SFUCC’s. Worst fans on the entire East Coast, and that’s only because I’ve never been out west. So, for that reason alone, these flummoxed fans shouldn’t be given a say. Continuing, why all the hub-bub, bub? Bitching like they really didn’t think he would leave. Personally, I’d love to see him stay and make the AFC East that much easier; plus we’d have more years of horrid dolphin football, which will still be the case (Culpepper or Brees?…hmmmmm; odds J.Taylor will cry when he retires? Even more than Favre. Odds Zack Thomas will realize J.Taylor drilled his sister like a mule? Zack can’t count that high.) Regardless, who the hell wouldn’t leave this situation? For $32 mil?! Hated the guy at LSU, hated him in Miami, but gotta’ say, Bravo Nicki…I couldn’t have given the SFUCC’s a bigger finger myself.

Waffle House owners in the greater Tampa area are celebrating the windfall of a Tennessee Volunteer loss @ this years Outback Bowl, 20 - 10 to JoePa & The Lions. Phil ate his way through a week of practice that would make Kobiyashi gleam with pride. And the way Phil fills the abyss of a depressing, yet commonplace loss is spectacular. Chicken waffles in a blanket dipped in yolk & possibly cheese starts too ease the pain. 'pass the honey junior'

did you know the waffle house menu had a light corner?

Tazering in 2007!

2007-01-02T17:25:00.000-05:00

The Pride of the Sunshine, former Gator adequate WR & current Minnesota Viking Travis Taylor did his best Buddy Hacket with his finger in a socket imitation and zapped his way into the new year. Only F I V E misdemeanor charges. sweet.
(details) http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6326080

It is finally to the point where DUI's by athletes are as common and accepted as bottled water, but it was hard to find this story, or lack of one. So if DUI's are the new "being late for a meeting", I guess getting tazed & slapped with a quintet of charges is the new DUI. I wonder what the new date rape is? I bet it's date rape.

Wake & Bake

2007-01-02T16:16:00.000-05:00

The least sexy of the BCS games is tonight as the Orange Bowl pits Wake Forest and Louisville. Most expect a 'ville rout, not me. Actually, most people have no idea who is playing in the Orange bowl, but I digress.
Granted, Wake could take last nights Fiesta Bowl and made it boring as CSPAN in Belgium, but they do win some butt-ugly (see acc title) games. Brohm & the Ville will be the far and away the most explosive offense Wake has seen, but the allure of the grind is hard to overcome. Inexplicably rolling w/ the dogs- Riley Skiner, Jim Grobe and that old black magic. In your face Len Dawson. bitch.
PREDICTION: Wake 30 Louisville 24

Eric Mangini: Supra Genius, mate!

2007-01-02T15:13:00.000-05:00

If your looking for an edge in this weekends AFC Wildcard game between the Pats & Jets, just take a peek at this line from Mangini's coaching bio, from the Pats official website no less: As an undergraduate @ Wesleyan, he spent the second semester of his junior & senior year studying abroad in Melbourne, Australia where he was the head coach/def coordinator for the Kew Colts, a semi-professional football team.

http://cachewww.patriots.com/team/index.cfm?ac=coachbio&bio=523

- Any guy who can parlay a part-time gig in the outback into an NFL head job in 12 years can certainly whoop some homeless hoodie wearing regular genius ass. Plus Belichick seems to dislike Mangini, which in turn makes Eric even more likable. For a Jet. And when you're a Jet, you're a Jet for life........unless your Belichick, and then you're a Jet for a day.
The Jets are also only one of 8 teams to have a better road record than home record. Or as Stu Scott would say "they be jammin' it out hard on the pavement y'all". Crikey!

PREDICTION: JETS 27 - PATS 19

The Nicktator Loves Maiden

2007-01-02T13:28:00.000-05:00

"The Nickator" That is what the local media in south florida has dubbed Dolphins- soon to be Bama head coach Nick Saban. Mostly for his infintile treatment of the media; which is deserved about fifty percent of the time...it's the fifty percent of the time that is not deserved that makes you look like such a tool box, Nicky. And, he's pretty short.
College kids are much more receptive to being berated and given 'time-outs', so Bama is probably a better fit. That fact that you're 15-17 in two coma inducing seasons w/ the fish and you spent all your cap $ on a broken quarterback w/ a lust for love on the water makes the fit that much snugger. So off to Bama where you will instantly become the most hated man in the SEC. (until Spurrier starts winning titles again) You'll already have the built-in Hatfield & McCoy rivalries w/ Auburn & Tennessee, but they will seem tame the first time you travel to Baton Rouge w/ a quarterback that has three first names. Enjoy the 40 million and the next four bowl seasons at any combination of the Outback, Chic-Fil-A, Capital One (maybe) or Independence.

Smurf Turf!

THE BCS rules. Does it? No, but these games sure are fun. Anyone who calls themselves a sports fan & did not watch the Fiesta Bowl though it's ridiculous conclusion should quietly kill themselves. Not because you're a bad person, but because your a bad person and you'll NEVER see a game, a team, a 4th quarter, a david v. goliath tale (which is horse crap..I'll explain) played out any sweeter or more dramatically. Everything was too perfect for words...UNTIL SHE SAID YES. Dumb ass Ian Johnson could have any woman in Idaho, but no. And if they get divorced, she'll get half of that phat Arena Football ching he'll be bringing in. So for those of you who had Patric McEnroe spewing through the highlights of The Fiesta on 'Cold Pizza' this morning, I mourn your passing. As for David v. Goliath: The always uncous Notre Dame, Wake and The Mighty Gators are all bigger underdogs on the Vegas bigboards then the Boys from Boise were. Notre Dame for goooood reason.
