That was pretty crafty of me right? Yes, the first letter of my kid's names in birth order = NFL. I didn't plan that but it's worked out well. Before I get started, I just want to say that karma is at work. I loathe Phillip Rivers and somehow I scored him on one of my fantasy football teams entitled "Ben Nasty". Poop! But the pickings of the available QBs look slim and I'm gonna just say no to anyone QBs associated with the Dolphins, Cardinals, Browns and basically anyone named Matt with the exception to Schaub. And the Game Day peeps like Mizzou. GO DAWGS!
I'm sick of hearing about Bounty Gate and thankfully, Chad Ochocinco (is his name still that or did he change it back?) had his new reality show cancelled. Did you see the Cowboys versus the G-Men? Jessica Simpson's ex and now Chace Crawford's brother in law had a great game, but I'm still struggling with the fact that I'm a few years older than Dez Bryant's mom. And the incessant chatter about Jerry Jone's SIL wiping his glasses for him. That did get me thinking though..... If you are one of the Cowboys' stars, do you have to wipe Jerry Jones's butt when you lose? Maybe just his nose? Is that your punishment?
Falcons at the Chefs-No, that isn't a typo. Which Matt is the QB for the Chiefs? (Originally, I had typed OB and I guess that would come in handy if someone went into labor in the stands). Ah yes, this is the Cassel. The other 2 Matts that garnered such fanfare got PAID in the offseason and get to kick back, relax, and hopefully not sprain a finger holding the clipboard. Everyone is saying Chiefs have tons of talent and this is their year. Don't most NFL teams have talent? Isn't that why they are in the NFL? Julio Jones is looking good and should have a phat day. Falcons by 7
Colts at Bears-Some prognosticators think the Bears are going to the Super Bowl but I don't. Jay Cutler is a new dad and will be giving Kristen Cavallari big $$$$$ for the next 18 years if they don't get hitched. What am I saying? He's giving her big money regardles. Brian Urlacher and Jenny McCarthy broke up so perhaps he is focused. Doesn't matter. The Colts are rebuilding. Da Bears
Eagles at the Browns-Although I've never been a fan of Andy Reid, that man has the premium bamboozler because he scammed the Cards into taking Kolb. Nice move, Andy! I hope you got a lifetime supply of Girl Scout cookies with that deal. I would have demanded hand delivered blizzards at 3pm each day but that's me. Up the ante! The Browns have some nice pieces but they are the Browns. Vick gets dinged up easily but I say the Eagles fly.
Redskins at the Saints-Love RG111. Is this really where you want to go week 1? Allegedly Mike Shanahan challenges the staff and players on the Wonderlic. The Bounty Gate players have been reinstated, but I would pick the Saints whether they were or not.
Bills vs Jets-Did the Jets' offense score in the preseason? What a QB comparison you have with these 2 teams! Ryan Fitzpatrick graduated from Harvard and probably discusses the Pythagorean theorem in the offseason while Mark Sanchez is backstage at a Victoria's Secret fashion show. And then there is Tim Tebow. He is allegedly almost perfect and is capable of making Hannah Storm blush and probably has the cure to the hantavirus in his locker. I wonder if Antonio Cromartie buys charm bracelets for the mothers of his children? If so, he's keeping Tiffany in business. he may be more of Zales guy. I'm not sure either of these teams can score in the double digits. I like (what???? maybe I'm delusional??) the Bills in a boring, squeaker.
Seahawks vs Cardinals-Yeesh....Seahags....NEXT!
49ers at the Packers-Oh, it's the QBs in the same draft class. Alex Smith is married to a Raiders cheerleader? Does this lead to awkward dinner time conversations? Not a fan of either, but I like Jim Harbaugh and Patrick Willis. The Packers annoy me so perhaps this is wishful thinking. 49ers.
Rams vs Lions-Love, love Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford. The Rams are crappy. Poor Steven Jackson. But they did score Jeff Fisher so that should put them in the right direction because they can't get much worse. Sam Bradford seems like a nice boy but I bet he gets Suh-ed. Lions
Chargers vs Raiders-Every year I hear this is the Chargers year. And every year I know it won't happen. As a matter of fact, if I was going to rewrite a Journey song for the Chargers, I would call it, "Stop Believing" But they are playing the Raiders who are notoriously unpredictable. I guess I have to hope Rivers has a good game, right? Chargers
And last, but not least...Bengals at the Ravens-Mmmmmm. Bengals were good last year and they have lots of former Bulldogs on their team. Not a fan of the Ravens, but like John Harbaugh and Ed Reed. Ravens
Peace out
