Keep it going
Good win for the Tigers last night, and they needed it as the Twins won again too. The lead stays at 2 and a half. Tonight is another big game, as all 12 of the games left really are. With Rick going tonight, and Justin tomorrow, this is a series against what is basically a minor league team form of the Indians, that we should, and need to, sweep. I'm right, you're wrong.

Wow
So I went 4-11 in my NFL picks this week. ( with tonight to go) The one time I should have gone with the Texans I didn't, what is up with the 49ers, Jets, Bears, Cinci, and Denver, I mean come on. The NFl is crazy. I should have changed my phili-saints pick with out Donavon, but oh well. At least my Giants won. Who saw the Bears win coming. I still am not sold on those teams, but I guess I am done with the Jags, they are bad, and I don't know why I keep thinking they are not going to be. I think the Titans will be ok, and I still think the Pats will be fine. But who knows, this is why the NFL is so much fun, you really don't know.
My Tigers got a much needed win yesterday, the lead is at 3 games.
I hope the Colts win tonight, so at least I can get that game right, but who knows, the way this weekend is going. I'm right, you're wrong.

NFL week two picks
OK, so it is late, but here it is. Went 13-3 last week, and I will add my picks with my friend Greg's picks too. Since we have a little thing going back and forth.
Carolina at Atlanta
MORRIS: Last week I went out and said Carolina would win. I was wrong. Plus, I am high on Atlanta this season. Atlanta has the man they call TONY G. He is a force at TE. Plus, Jake Delomme wants to go home. Atlanta wins 35-27.
Schwanda: Yeah you were wrong last week, Delomme played terrible, and Atlanta looked good in their win, and they are playing at home, so it should be a easy win…. NOT SO FAST, I like the Panthers to run the ball, control the game, and get a win, 24-17
Minnesota at Detroit
MORRIS: Detroit proved last week they aren’t ready to stop anyone on defense. I am shocked, I mean, they were so good last year at it. They really needed front line help, didn’t get it, and drafted offense players. Same old Lions. Minnesota has All Day. He couldn’t get Ryan a fantasy victory, but he will get Minnesota a victory. By a lot. Minnesota wins 42-17.
Schwanda: I don’t even want to say anything about this game. Minn wins31-10
Cincinnati at Green Bay
MORRIS: Cincinnati is going to be completely horrible. Drinking the Kool-Aide about Cedric Benson is crazy. He might have started out ok, but he wont be good. ITS CEDRIC FREAKING BENSON. Green Bay is good on defense, offense, special teams, kicking, eating cheese. Green Bay wins 35-24.
Schwanda: But what about the best Fantasy back of all time, according to Ryan, oh, he’s bad too, that’s right, go Pack go, Packers win 28-10… how is cinci scoring 24 points Greg.. come on
Houston at Tennessee
MORRIS: Tennessee proves this week they are a solid team. Houston will give a spirited effort, they will make it close for three quarters, but then Tennessee will win with the rushing efforts of Johnson and the Fat Man. Tennessee wins 24-16.
Schwanda: I was high on the Texans this year, and then they played bad week one, I am not giving up on them yet for the season, but for the game, heck yeah, Tenn wins 21-14
Oakland at Kansas City
MORRIS: Oakland looked pretty impressive against San Diego for three quarters. Kansas City looked pretty impressive against Baltimore for three quarters. Now, the two face off in a four quarter game. They will look impressive for three quarters, but that fourth, that’s the wild card. Oakland wins 19-14.
Schwanda: I feel bad for anyone who has to go to or watch this game on TV. I don’t even want to pick a winner, but just to go against Greg, I will take the home team, KC wins 17-14 in the who gives a crap bowl
New England at NY Jets
MORRIS: Don’t teams learn not to call out the Patriots? Obviously, the Jets didn’t learn the many lessons from the last 5 years. So, NY Jets, here is your education. Tom Brady is going to torch them up one side and down. I liked the Jets to win before they started talking, but now, they will lose. NE wins 31-24.
Schwanda: The Jests are not going to win this game, if they talk, if they don’t talk, It doesn’t matter, they played well last week, but last week is done, I am not buying them, Pats win 28-7
New Orleans at Philadelphia
MORRIS: Drew Brees is really good. Mcnabb broke a rib. NO wins 34-28.
Schwanda: That’s true Greg, but what is also true, Philis D is much better then the Lions, and they are playing at home, the Saints are all offense, and philis D is good enough to slow them down enough, Phili wins 24-21
St. Louis at Washington
MORRIS: Washington should be better than they are. They have a good defense. Decent offensive weapons . But they just cant seem to put it all together. St. Louis didn’t show me much last week against a decent Seahawk team. This game could be bad, but I think the Redskins win because Portis has a good game. Washington wins 21-17.
Schwanda: Skins win because Portis has a good game… Greg the Rams are terrible, the Skins will win this game very easily. Skins win 28-10
Arizona at Jacksonville
MORRIS: Arizona looked lost. Jacksonville lost. ABC has a hit show named Lost. Arizona wins but looks lost doing it, AZ wins 24-14
Schwanda: This is almost a coin flip for me, but I will give it to the Jags for a few reasons, one, Greg picked them to lose, two, they are home, and three, that is what will happen, Jags win 24-21
Tampa Bay at Buffalo
MORRIS: Tampa and Buffalo looked better than expected last week. I think TO is going to derail this team by the time its all said and done, and I think it starts this week. Tampa wins 27-17.
Schwanda: The Bills did look much better then I thought they would, and I don’t like the Bucs this year at all, and at home, I will take the Bills 21-17
Seattle at San Francisco
MORRIS: I have a great feeling about both of these teams. I think the 49ers have a great attitude, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make a run for the NFC West title. They wont win pretty, but they will win. This will be a decent game though. SF wins 21-17.
Schwanda: Nope, not buying it Greg, I don’t think the 49ers will win more then 6 games, and that is being nice. Great first game, this week they take a step back. Seattle will be good, and win that division, unless Warner goes off again. Seattle wins 24-14
Pittsburgh at Chicago
MORRIS: Cutler looked horrendous on Monday night, and I think he is a bad dude. In a bad way. Pitt cant run the ball, they lost the Hawaiian missile. Chicago lost Urlacher. But Pitt is deeper to deal with a loss of a player. This game comes down to the wire. PITT wins 16-10.
Schwanda- Chicago isn’t good. Cutler is a bad fit there, and they will not win more then 6 games this year either. Pitt wins 21-7
Baltimore at San Diego
MORRIS: I don’t trust Norv Turner, but he has a pretty good squad. Baltimore is a great team however, with a load of running backs, a great second year QB, and a solid D. They show San Diego the Ray Lewis dance of victory. BAL wins 24-20.
Schwanda: SD didn’t look good at all last week, but they come home and that should help. I don’t know how solid the Ravens D will be this year, after how many points KC scored on them, but I will chalk that up to one bad game. I do however like SD at home to win 24-21
Cleveland at Denver
MORRIS: Hmm, don’t have a clue. DEN wins 13-9.
Schwanda: I see your don’t have a clue, and raise you a who gives a flying fuck. Denver got lucky to win last week on the road, the Browns return the favor this week, Cleveland wins 14-10
NY Giants at Dallas
MORRIS: Here is how this game is going to go. THE GEEE men come out strong, dominating, showing Dallas how its done. But then, in the second half, Dallas comes roaring back to where a long pass play could tie the game. Romo drops back, throws a Hail Mary, hits the scoreboard, the scoreboard falls, and an earthquake is created. NY wins due to an earthquake. NY wins 24-21.
Schwanda: I would love if that happened, because the Giants would win. I am a little worried about this game, with the first real game at the new stadium, but I have faith, should be a good game, but the Giants will run the ball, control the clock, and Osi and Tuck will be in Tony Homo’s face all day. Giants win 21-10
Today college football was crazy, USC lost to Washington, Free shoe beat all up on BYU at BYU, My Chippewas looked good in their home opener winning 48-0, the starters were out with 8 or 9 minutes left in the first half, so it was good to let some of the young guys play... oh, and Alcorn State is really bad. ND beat MSU, thanks to Kirk Cousins throwing a pick on the ND 10 with 57 seconds left down 3.. wow. The UGA-Arkansas game has been good, lots of throwing yards and TD passes thrown in that one. All in all a great day, besides the fact that the Tigers lost again to the Twins and their lead is down to 2 games now. They will have to earn it if they win the division, they still have 5 games left against the Twins including tomorrow. I'm right, you're wrong.
Carolina at Atlanta
MORRIS: Last week I went out and said Carolina would win. I was wrong. Plus, I am high on Atlanta this season. Atlanta has the man they call TONY G. He is a force at TE. Plus, Jake Delomme wants to go home. Atlanta wins 35-27.

No, Thank you Mr. Harwell
Tonight in the middle of the 3rd Ernie Harwell came out to thank the fans, thank the Tigers, and everyone else who has made his career and life so special. Starting with the Tigers in 1960 you can't think of the Tigers without thinking about Ernie Harwell. While on September 4th the 91 year old announced he had pancreatic cancer, that is uncurable he still shows the up most respect for the game that has let him see so much, and thanked the fans who's lives he has touched in so many ways, some directly and some indirectly. As always he was a class act, well spoken and humble, but let me just say.... no, thank you Mr. Harwell, thank you for all the memories to all of the Tiger fans. He said he was happy to spend what ever time he has left in the GREAT STATE OF MICHIGAN... with all due respect Mr. Harwell, we are the lucky ones, to share a state with you. God bless you, and your family.
To make it better, the Tigers did come back, then hold on, Thank you B Lyon, for a big 4-3 win, to stay 4 and a half ahead of the Twins. All of our games left are against the Central, and really, that is the way it should be.
Sadly, speaking of pancreatic cancer, NCAA Miles Brand died today from it. He was 67. This is sad, since he was planing to step down, but was still the acting president, so he didn't have the time to spend with his family and get the closer he may have wanted, and deserved. A moment of silence will be held before every NCAA football game this weekend in honor of him. He may be best known for being the president at Indiana that fired Bobby Knight, but he also had served as president of the NCAA since 2003. RIP President Brand, my prayers are with your family and friends. I'm right, you're wrong.

week one wrap up
I will do this quick
-I was right on all my picks except 3, Texans, Cinci, and the Cards. So I went 13-3.
- I am not reading to call off my love for the Texans yet, or on saying the Jets will not have a good year, but I am watching close
-I still think the Cards will be fine and the 49ers will not be that good
-Like cinci didn't have enough problems, Sorry Marv
-Not a lot of great games, besides the prime time games. Jags-Colts was close, and cinci-den, but other then that, besides the Thursday night, Sunday night, and both Monday night games, the rest were rather easy wins
-I liked the way my Giants played for the most part, we can't have turnovers though
-The Raiders, and Bills both played much better then I thought and those were much closer games, then I thought they would be. Got to love the NFL, you never know
I am already looking forward to this weekend of football, starting Thursday night with UGA Tech-da U. That game may just be for the ACC title. I like what I have seen from both teams, so far, so that should be a good game. Other college games will also be interesting to watch this weekend, Tenn-FL, Kiffen talked a lot of stuff, and coming off a close lose to ucla, he may really get his this weekend. Also MSU has to rebound against ND, who also is coming off a loss. MSU's next 3 are At ND, at Wisconsin and Michigan at home, we will find out what kind of team they will be.
I will try to keep updating this blog, but due to a new job I just got doing marketing for cmu basketball, I am very busy, especially with my daughter, and still trying to not piss my wife off too much, but I will do what I can. I'm right, you're wrong.

What a weekend
First my Mt p boys win Friday night, killing St John's 49-15, they were up 35-0 after one, and 49-0 at half. Then on Saturday CMU beats MSU 29-27 in a great game, Michigan-ND was a great game that went down to the end, and then OSU and USC always was a close game. It was a great day for college football. Then today the Giants won as well. The Tigers also won today, which was much much needed. I will talk more about the football weekend tomorrow, just wanted to do a quick update now. I'm right, you're wrong

Two great games
Last night there was two great football games. The Clemson-UGA Tech game turned out to be a great one. UGA Tech was up 24-0, but Clemson came back and eventually took the lead 27-24, before UGA Tech won 30-27, very good game. Then in the NFL the Steelers and Titans both showed great defense, and some decent offense when needed, for a 13-10 OT game. If Ward didn't fumble at the 4, I would have be right no with my score pick of 17-10 Pit, oh well. Today we regroup, there are high school games to go to, I watch the Tigers, who need a win bad, and then tomorrow is the bid day. Go Fire up Chips. I'm right, you're wrong.
