Still kicking arounds ideas for yours, but here's a hint: Fred Smoot, Bryant McKinnie, Daunte, pretty boy Alex, and The Love Boat.
 
Goddamn WHO'S talking to Cloudy on IRC?? I need his thoughts on the Giants-Texans game and who he thinks will have a great performance!!
 
Holy shit this week's article from Simmons is ****ing unreadable. His homerism, jizzing into Brady's anus, makes it hard to go through the thing without being disgusted in every which way.

I'm not a fan of the Colts either, but it IS arguable that Peyton is the best QB in the league, and that he is one of the best QBs ever.

Meanwhile, here's Tom Brady and his three Super Bowl rings. He's never had a top-10 receiver on his team. He's never had a top-10 tight end on his team. He's never had an elite runner except for Corey Dillon in 2004. His receivers leave for other teams and completely fall off the face of the earth. During his first Super Bowl season, he survived a QB controversy with local hero Drew Bledsoe and the loss of his only deep threat (Terry Glenn). Two summers ago, his offensive coordinator fled for Notre Dame and the team didn't even bother spending money to replace him. This season, they lowballed his top two receivers, pushed them out the door, then expected Brady to break in a new group of guys as the season was going on. And the guy just keeps winning. Out of all the must-win games over the years, he came up short only in Denver last January.

Fact: In 2005 Tom Brady had 5 receivers with 29 or more receptions, 7 with 22 or more. No top ten receiver is a result of his own doing as he led the league in passing yards.

Fact: In 2004, he had 6 receivers with 26 or more receptions.

Fact: In 2003, he may not have had an elite runner but had the #7 ranked D in the league, #4 in the league against the run (89 YPG), #1 in terms of scoring D. 6 receivers with 28 catches or more and 5 with 34 or more.

The point is that Brady doesn't have a star receiver by his own doing, and he doesn't need one. So what if he lost his #1 receiver, he wouldn't have seen 1/5 of the balls thrown go in his direction. It's clear that Brady has NEVER missed a receiver.

As far as the running game, in 2001 and 2002 Edgerrin James had 662 and 989 yards rushing respectively. That's elite? Comparing Manning's and Brady's numbers for those years, the numbers are comparable between the two. Manning had better accuracy over the two years with more yardage and TDs, but Brady threw fewer ints.

And on top of that, Brady has always had a defense that Manning did not. It's not Brady that shuts down Manning in the playoffs, it's the NE defense and the DC's schemes.

Transplant the two QBs to each other's teams and I guarantee that the results of the past five years wouldn't be much different.

****.
 
I'm confident that if Manning plays his game...the Colts will win. The haters mean nothing, hate the success. Wondering why nobody mentioned how hilariously whiny Brady was last year where when he got destroyed. NFL films has that footage. Wouldn't mind seeing a repeat of that.

Most pundints are playing it safe by picking the New England, which is logical I guess. If the Pats are a top team, they should win at home. Somehow I don't think the Pats feel they are that safe though.

Terrell Owens may not be catching a lot of footballs, but he seems to be catching plenty of Z's -- in team meetings, most recently on Thursday.

"I don't know what it is," Owens told the Dallas Morning News after Thursday's practice. "I've never been diagnosed with it. It's nothing new for me to fall asleep in a meeting. It goes back to my rookie year in San Francisco. My receivers coach [George Stewart] knew I would fall asleep. He thought I was staying up late, and sometimes I did. When I did get to bed early, I would still get to meetings and fall asleep, and it's the same thing here."

Owens said he'd told the Cowboys before he signed with the team that he had a sleeping problem.

The reason? The standout wide receiver said he's not staying up late. But Owens added that once he processes the game plan, the meetings and film work become redundant. And in a dimly lit room, Owens can doze off in a hurry.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said takes the news in stride.

"Those are personal health issues, and we all have them in varying ways. I don't say that as though it's something that's irritating at all," Jones said.

Passing game coordinator Todd Haley isn't so sympathetic, Owens said.

"Todd is a big stickler, and he kind of got offended," Owens told the paper. "That's one of his pet peeves about not sleeping in a meeting. I talked to him one-on-one and said, 'I'm not trying to fall asleep. I've always been like that.' "

Owens said he once had Stewart, who now coaches in Atlanta, call Eagles receivers coach Davud Culley in Philadelphia to tell him about the sleep problems.

"At some point, give me a little vet credit," Owens said. "But I understand [Haley] wants me to be a professional and be a stand-up guy for the younger guys on the team."

In seven games this season, Owens has 37 catches for 482 yards and five touchdowns.

:lol Sometimes I actually like Owens. Who else has a boss, who allows and respects the fact that you fall asleep at work?
 
I've sorely missed the opportunity to point out Maynerd's current "I LOVE THE CHIEFS!" avatar that I made for him, so I will make a post about it.

And the Chiefs have a hard one in STL this weekend, but they can win.

Prediction:
KC beats STL, 28-17, or closer.

any takers?

Yeah, basically. And Simmons's columns will only get worse if the Pats win (I think they will, but just because their defense actually looks healthy and smart this year) so god, I'm actually hoping the Colts win even though I picked against them. I definitely hate hearing the announcers jerk off both of these teams whenever they play, but at least the Colts are fun to watch because it's almost always a shootout.

And really, the Colts have been the better team this year even if the Pats are actually playing defense, because they've beaten tougher teams, while the best team the Pats have beaten is my team.
 
BTW guys, just a hot tip. Play Fred Taylor this weekend in your FFL if you have him. Tennessee's run D kinda blows and we're back at home, where Freddy loves to show off.:D

Simmons really doesn't know much about football. He is a comedic genius, but just a football fan. He gets really enthusiastic about basketball, and that shows in his nba columns. Except he sucks at picks in both sports.

There are some awesome receivers in the draft, but you guys already have Brandon lloyd and Randle-El :lol
 
Simmons is awesome for NBA stuff, but he sucks balls when it comes to Baseball or Football for obvious reasons.

Thank god the Celtics will suck from now til forever.

Amazing, your team loses in THE LAST MOMENTS of our game, and now you pick us to win on the road against a VERY similar team to us (strong offense, growing defense)? We BARELY beat a team with a backup QB, no starting RB, (and lose horribly to a VERY overrated Pittsburgh team), but because you wear the tag you think we can demolish a team that is equal or better to us?

Not calling you out personally, but I want to keep everyone's expectations honest. If we win, we won't "demolish" them. 3-10 points max.

I hope I'm wrong and Huard secures his starting job...but we all know what happens after that.

I have tracked the trail of clues in order to unravel the web of conspiracy theories that make up the "Curse". Local resistance from the GAF locals has made my quest difficult. To appease them I have put my very existence on the line in order to further penetrate their society and learn about them. From what I understand this curse seems to be nothing but an elaborate mix of coincidence and utter fiction. But even after revealing one layer of lies, two more seem to spring up to take its place. The "Konex Curse" is so rooted into their belief system I hope my success in our wager can put a dent in it. Though the odds are overwhelmingly in my favor, I wouldn't put anything past the GAF commnity or this man to somehow influence the results...

Yeah, you've crossed the line

If you knew anything about the curse, you would know searching to disprove it will never work. It has to be natural

I may have been too overt in my inquiries, as now it seems no one is willing to help me find the reclusive Cloudy. So, I have devised a plan to meet the creator of the curse and casually ask him his thoughts on a number of football teams, including the Eagles, Falcons, Colts, and Bears. Hopefully I then can get the info I need and present it to the community. This may be my last chance. I am a practical man, and know there is a slim chance I will lose my wager. If I am not successful I hope I may inspire the younger generation who read this to challenge the nature of this superstitious belief . . . where everyone fears one man and his picks.
 
His AIM screen name is Konex2k4. I found that in a whopping 2 seconds, why couldn't you? God helps those that help themselves.

A secret contact from the community has given me vital information on how to find the man they call "Konex". A man of deep conviction in his religious beliefs, he wasn't afraid to express himself. After dispensing his knowledge he openly insulted my lack of detective skills and went on his way. I only pray that no harm comes to him from giving me the information, as the community mods I have encountered take action first, and ask questions later...
