It's Thursday, and there is a lot to get to, I hope I remember everything I want to touch on, so lets get right in to my week 15 NFL picks:
Min at Arz- The Viks need this game more, and T-Jack will be starting. The Cards play better at home, and even though they have clinched the division I don't think they are just going to lay down. Having said that, I think the Viks will find a way, AD AP runs all over them, and the Viks win 24-21
TB at ATL- No question I had the bucks during my preseason picks, but looking at how well Atlanta has played at home, I am really thinking about this one, but I am done with that now, TB needs the win, and they will get it, Bucks 21-17
Den at Car- Denver is like the Chargers, Jets and Saints, they have some great games, and then some bad losses, which team will show up. I don't care, Panters at home, I am going with them 28-17
NO at Chi- Oh I was wrong about the Saints, and I want to still believe they have a outside chance at the playoffs, but playing in Chi town, where they are 1-5 on the road already this year, the bears need the win to stay with the viks and on top of the packers in the north, It will be cold, maybe some snow, defense and running the ball, bears win 14-10
NYG at Dal- Dallas at home, I actually picked them in my preseason picks, and the Giants have clinched the division, however, they want to show they don't need Plax, and that they can bounce back, they also want home field, and they would love to keep the cowboys from the playoffs, you add all that together, plus the fact that I am a die hard Giants fan, they bounce back and win 28-21
Det at Ind- Do I really need to do this one... of course, this would be the type of game the Lions win, but it isn't happening. Colts roll 35-10
GB at Jags- I am so over the Jags, I am done picking them this year, that is for sure. Packers need a win to have any chance of getting that division at 8-8, if the bears and viks lose, it could still happen. Packers win 24-14
Cle at Phi- Dorsey at qb, and he doesn't have as many weapons as he had at da U. I like phili in this game 24-7
Sea at Stl- Man I feel bad for anyone who has to watch this game. Rams are at home, so lets give it to them. Rams win 10-7
Sf at Mia- Give it to the better team at home, who still can make the playoffs, easy choice for me. Mia 24-10
Was at Cin- Another game, that I shouldn't even have to pick, Skins 24-7
Pitt at Bal- You know a big part of me wants to take the Ravens at home, but then again, I did just say on Tuesday the Steelers look like the best team in the AFC, so why not stick with that, Steelers win 14-10
Buf at NYJ- Jets need this game, and they just had a bad loss, that means, they play well, jets win 24-14
Ten at Hou- I have thought about it, and I have made up my mind. The Upset of the week pick, I will stick with my preseason pick, the Texans at home put up some points, as does Andre Johnson for me, and they win, Titans have clinched, they relax, a little, Texans win 28-17
SD at KC- SD wins, LDT gets two TD's and everyone is happy. SD 28-10
NE at Oak- Matt Cassell might not play, as he is sadly dealing with the death of his father. Even if he doesn't, the Pats can win this game, plus they have to, thus they will. Pats 24-10
OK, moving on.... my Pistons:
I am usually a class half full kind of a guy when it comes to basketball and baseball, or my pistons and tigers, and a little bit of the cubs in the NL, due to how long the season is, I do not freak out over a bad loss, or even 3 or 4 in a row. But I must admit I am starting to get a little worried. First Friday night, I was at the game where they were up 15 in the 3rd to the 76ers playing without brand, and they lost, then they are down as much as 29 to the Knicks on Sunday, before coming back, but still loosing, they are now 0-5 on Sunday's, and 11-5 on every other day. But then they go to Play the Wizards on the road, who, lets face it, are not good. In the first half they are up by as many as 17, and what happens. Curry leaves in guys 8 though 12 in the game all together until the lead is about 4 or so, before putting some of the guys back in. This is the NBA, this isn't 7th grade, everyone plays basketball. You don't need to, or should you, play 12 guys in a game. Yeah it is a long season, rest your guys a little, but your best 7 players should never be all on the bench at the same time while your bottom five play all together, unless the game is in the 4th and the lead is more then 25. A 15 point lead in the first half does not mean the game is over. Listen I like our bench, I actually think it is very good. Herrmann is a good player, AA, Bynum has played ok, Jason and Brown or Amir, they can help a team. Those guys should not all be in at the same time. Ever. Mcdyess playing in his first game back, maybe got too many minutes, jacked up some shots, you want to get his legs back, but put him in with sheed, AI, Ta and Rip, not will, AA, walter and Amir. It really looks like Curry is way way way over his head. A rookie head coach usually has a young team around him, thus they can learn as they go, with each other. This is a veteran team still, for the most part, and a lot of these guys played with Curry, and started ahead of him, I think they are more his friends then anything. Even with him being on staff, an assistant is more of a friend then the head coach. They need to be able to read guys and know when to take them aside, or know when they need to laugh, or smile, to keep them in the game. The head coach is the law, he is the authority figure, and I just don't think most, if not all, of the Pistons respect Curry enough to listen to him, they might like him, but they don't respect him, and listen when he talks. Just watch them in a timeout if you get a chance, see if they are looking at him, or are they talking to each other, or looking at the fans, laughing, telling jokes. It is a big problem. I heard it said yesterday on the Huge show, a good Michigan sports talk show which I try to listen to a lot, and I have called in a few times, including yesterday about the pistons, and he predicted that Curry will not make it to the all star break. Now I don't know about that, but this team doesn't have a lot of time, so maybe that is true. The problem you need to find a guy with the track record that has the respect of a Larry Brown type, or Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, someone like that, your average coach is not going to get it done, because the Pistons need a guy who can fire them up, and someone they listen to. The Pistons are very very talented, that is still the case, they have the guys that they can get back to the eastern conference finals, and have a chance, but the way they are playing right now, both the Celtics and the Cavs, who I have to admit are playing great basketball right now, would beat them in 5, if not sweep them. I still have faith, and I still will be watching all the game, and waiting for them to turn it around, but I am worried.
I wanted to talk about some of the baseball moves as well, but I got to get going, and get ready for practice, and plus, this is already a really long post, so I will save it till after everything is done. I'm right, you're wrong.

NFL week 14 wrap up
Well another 10-6 week for me, which gets me to 130-78-1 on the year. I was so close in my upset pick of the week at KC almost beat Denver. They were up 17-3, and just couldn't hold on, loosing 24-17. Nice try, but coach Edwards will tell you, YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME. Here are some other things that stood out from week 14.
-My Giants didn't look good at all, but first, give credit to phili they played very well, they needed the win more and it showed. Our defense just couldn't get off the field, I think they were like 9 for 11 on 3rd downs at one point, while my G-men were 3-14, um, that's not good. Lots and lots of dropped balls, lets hope that we don't need Plax, and the only reason we won without him was because it was the seahawks, and ARZ game which was more offensive then a defensive game. I am more concerned with jacobs' knee, the MRI showed no structural damage which is great news, so hopefully he will be ready to go. I am also ok about the loss because they are 11-2 and with the cowboys loosing they clinched the division, which is great. The Problem is, they have 3 games left all against teams with wining records, which if you are scoring at home that is 10 games in a row against teams with wining records, Dallas this week, and then a big game vs the Panters as far as bye weeks are concerned, and then the Viks. If we go 2-1 in those 3 I would be very happy, we would be 13-3 and would get a first round bye, and would have home field, which would be big, even though they played great last year in the playoffs on the road, you don't want to do that, if you don't have to.
-The Lions missed their last chance to win a game, 0-16.. the dream is still alive
-The Jets... give me a second.. hahahahahahahahahahahaha, wow, all you people talking about them coming out of the afc, and how great Farve is, please stop now. Yeah they have played well at times and have some nice wins, but they have lost to the Raiders, and the 49ers, and I think they have some other bad losses too. I still hold firm that they will miss the playoffs
-The Pats will make the playoffs, I am standing by it
-The Saints gave me hope, thanks, now I will have to keep picking you.
-The Panters are a good team, and I am worried about them. They run the ball very well and Steve Smith is still very dangerous.
-Have I mentioned yet today, if you are going to a place where you think you need to bring a gun to feel safe, you shouldn't go, just thought I would remind people of that, in case anyone forgot.
-The Steelers continue to impress, I know the Titans are good, but I would pick the Steelers to come out of the AFC right now, if I had to, because if they get another home game in the playoff vs the Colts, I don't see them loosing, if they play in Indy, I like the Colts.
-I have made the playoffs in 5 of my 6 leagues in fantasy football. The last one, I made a late change and missed it by a game, since it started last week, I got a nice win, and now am tied for the 5th best record, oh well. Only two of those 5 are cash leagues, so I need to cash in at least one of them. Getting 3rd in both, would be fine, or just wining one. Lets go my teams.
-Speaking of that, if anyone wants to give me input on the matchups and tell me, what 3 of these 5 rb you would start this week, that would be great.
c johnson, r bush, m j drew, LDT, and b Jacobs
with Jacobs being hurt, I am thinking he is done, and then since I get points for catches as well, I think either bush or jones drew needs to be one... but your thoughts would be appreciated.
-I swear there was something else, but I can't remember right now, I am going to quick keep typing, to see if it comes to me, nope, I can't remember, oh well, must not have been that important. Have a great week. I'm right, you're wrong.

weekend wrap up ( Non NFL)
well we have a lot to get to, so lets get to it. The NFL will be talked about tomorrow after all the games are done for the week.
College Basketball:
Uofm-Duke- Man I should have been there, I was going to go, but my very soon to be wife said I couldn't be gone Friday night and all day Saturday. So I had to choose, go to the pistons game with my high school team that I am assistant coach at, where we had a suite for free for one of the kids birthdays, or go to that game Saturday with the best player in the state, and one very highly recruited kid. Well because the entire team was going Friday, and getting to go to a game and be in a suite is not something that happens a lot, and thinking Duke would win by at least 15, I choose to go to the Pistons game, only to watch them be up 15 and then blow it, to a Brand-less 76er team. Then I watch that game on Saturday, and as it went back and forth, all I could think of, was damn, I should be there. At practice Sunday night, I even said I was sorry to the person who I was going to go with, and who was going to get me free tickets, since Michigan is all over him. Anyway, in the words of coach knight... back to the game. This was 100% what Michigan wanted, Duke shot a lot of jump shots and missed a lot of 3's. Simns stepped up big, and we all know, at least people in the Midwest, that Manny Harris is the real deal. I am telling you, this Michigan team is good. Right now they are looking like a team that is going to go dancing. Two top 5 wins, no bad losses, Duke on a neutral site, and by 5 to a good Maryland team on the road, they will be heard from in the big ten.
OSU-ND- Speaking of teams who will be heard from in the big ten, OSU is good, and they are young, meaning they should only get better as the season goes on. They are also looking like a lock right now, and with Purdue, MSU, and Wis, the big ten might get 5 in this year. With Min or ILL maybe even making a case for 6.
MSU-Bradly- MSU got back to their wining ways after the tough one vs UNC witch was their 4 game in 7 days. They will be fine, Roe will continue to get better as the year goes on and his knee gets stronger and stronger, and once Suton gets back the big ten title still has to go threw the banks of the red cyder. Purdue or MSU are still the favorites even with uofm and osu playing very well right now.
College Football:
OK-FL- The BCS got this right, if you ask me. The two teams who are playing the best right now, and two really good football teams. Get ready for 4 weeks of hype for this one.
USC-PSU- Here is your chance to show that the big ten isn't really bad.. instead USC shows what they always show.. they are sick, and do not lose big games, that they get up for.
Bama-Utah- tough one for the Utes, but if they win, they have a legitimate complaint that they deserve some number one votes in the ap. However, I don't see it happening. I am upset, I wanted to see Texas-Bama, that would be a great game, and if Texas won that would be their best chance for a spilt national champ, and win the Ap vote.
OSU-Texas- Why? how can OSU keep getting BCS games? I know, and I will tell you, it is actually very very simple. Money, that's it, it is all about money. They are a big name program that will travel well and the ratings will be high, even if it is to see them lose. Which they will. Texas should win this game by 20. It isn't that OSU sucks, they are just not a top 10 team.
Cinci-VA Tech- in the who gives a rat ass bcs game, I will be cheering for the bearcats, only so BK will then leave and take some other job, if not, he will be gone after next year, he will not stay past that. I promise you all that.
Boise State go robed.
MSU-UGA- Wow, Michigan State you had a great year,record wise, where you beat no good teams, and your only two games against decent to good teams you got killed, your reward, a bowl game vs UGA, who was a national title pick in the start of the year, and is mad. Way to go. I like MSU, and always have, but they have as much chance in this game, as I do in getting a call from coach K right now asking me to be his top assistant. They are going to get rolled. I will be cheering for them, but they need a lot more then that.
CMU-Fl atlantic- For the 3rd year in a row my chippewas are going to the motor city bowl. This year is a little different in that we didn't just play at ford field in the mac title game, but we still get to go back to the bowl were we have set attendance records the last two years. I don't think it will be a 3rd. One last year we had a rematch with Purdue, big ten team, travel better, bigger game. This year, a 6-6 fl atl team. Now I don't know anything about them, I will be honest, maybe they are good, and maybe they will beat us. But I don't see that happening, I see it being about the same, if not worse then when we played middle tenn state in 06 and won 31-14. we have had a up and down year, but this would be a nice way to end it. The sr deserve to go out with a win. 3 bowl games in a row for our program is great, and has never happened before.
MAC Love- the MAC actually has 5 teams in bowls this year, so good luck to NIU, BSU,and Buffalo, I will be cheering for you, as for western, I can't cheer for you, but I will wish you well.
NBA:
Pistons- Real quick.. win a damn game on Sunday please. 0-5 on Sunday, 11-3 on every other day... wow.
I'm right, you're wrong

NFL week 14 picks
Yes it is Thursday again, so here we go with my week 14 NFL picks
Stl at Arz- The cards are back home, playing in the division, which means, cards win 28-10
Atl at NO- I think the Saints are done, Atlanta has been playing so well, who saw that coming, what a great job by them, but since I am a stupid, and a very slow learner, one last time, with the Saints playing at home, I am picking them to win, Saints win 31-27
Tb at Car- Man this is a big big game, and in those in the nfl you usually want to go with the home team, especially after a nice win in Green Bay last week. The Bucks can still get the two seed, unless something changes one of these two teams will, so do I give it to the home team, or do I go with what I picked in the preseason when I picked all the games? Home team, Panters win 24-21
Jag at Chi- Have I mentioned yet how wrong I was about the Jags, could not be more wrong if I tried, man, have they disappointed me. I have learned my lesson with them, I promise, Bears 17-10
Dal at Pit- Another big game for the Steelers, but it is at home again, like the Giants and Colts game, which they lost, and not on the road, like the engals and Pats game, which they won... ummm, is there a pattern forming here. Lets go with it. Dallas wins 24-21
Min at Det- Here are the Lions playing at home again, so I will not have to watch it, cause this one, will be blacked out, I am almost 100% sure about that. Lets see if they can get 5 points, so in 7 games they can score the same amount of points, 98 as UNC scored in one last night in basketball. Maybe they can get a TD, and the Viks usually play bad against the Lions, remember it was 12-10 last game in Min, and that was the game Dan O ran out of the end zone not knowing it for a safety, but I think the Viks will be ready, and no team wants to be the team to lose to the Lions, Viks win 28-10
Hou at GB- I like the Texans, ok, really I just like Andre Johnson, but in Green Bay, I have to give it to the Packers, Pack win 24-17
Phi at NYG- Another big game, against a team with a wining record for my Giants, I know the Steelers are right up there, but the Giants have played all but like three games against teams with wining records, ok, now that I think about it, 5, 49ers, seahawks, cinci, browns, who was suppose to be good,and the rams, everyone else is a playoff team, or in contention. That is a hard schedule, oh, and they are 11-1. Everything going on this week, I think the game will be a nice chance to get away from it all and come out and get a big division win. Giants 28-17
NYJ at SF- Jets, next. jets win 28-14
NE at Sea- The Pats take last weeks loss out on the hawks. Pats win 31-10.. btw.. how much does it suck to be a sports fan in that city right now, man, that has to hurt, sonics leave, your baseball team had the worst record in the AL, seahwaks suck, wash is 0-11, damn.
Was at Bal- I love the Ravens D but this is a must win for the skins, of course with a Steelers lose and a Ravens they could be in first place, so I am on the face on this one, this actually might be the second or third best game of the wee, a lot on the line. So, do I go with the home team, or my preseason pick? wait, in the preseason I picked the home team, oh, well, in that case Ravens win 17-14
Mia at Buf- Bills at home, lets give them one last chance to get semi back in the race. Bills win 24-21
Cin at Ind- Colts roll 31-7, next
Cle at Ten- Titans get the job done. 24-10
Kc at Den- Denver at home, played great last week, I almost want to take KC, and you know what..... I will.... my UPSET PICK OF THE WEEK.... KC wins 28-27
Oak at SD- In tonight's game, called the 2008 NFL Europe championship by Mike n Mike, that league went under if you didn't know, I like the Chargers to roll, please, one last time, play like a good team. Actually I need LDT to do it a few more times, and if Rivers doesn't put up big fantasy numbers tonight I might have to find him and beat him up. SD wins 31-10
ok, so there you go, week 14 already. One last non football thing:
UNC-MSU- UNC is stacked, and yeah MSU doesn't have Suton yet and Roe is not 100%, and I knew UNC would win, but by 35. Wow, it wasn't a true on campus home game, and I actually thought that hurt MSU a little bit, not that they would have won, and they hung around for awhile, but UNC is just too much. Ty Lawson needs to be on that All American team with Curry, Psyco T, Griffen and Luke Harrengody.. I mean, they can announce that now.. that is the 1st team, right there. No question in my mind. The thing that people need to know, MSU is a good, talented team, and they will be much better at the end of the year then they are right now, that is just how good UNC is, they have know beaten two teams that are both very good, in ND and MSU and both games were not at home and they destroyed both teams, they are not wining games, they are killing people. I still think it is too hard to go undefeated the entire way in college basketball in a major conference and win it all. But I will stand by the point I made that no one will beat them in a big game they are up for, you need to catch them off guard. They have to play bad, and you have to shoot the ball very very well. That's your only chance.
Of course Duke looked great on Tuesday night, and Purdue is a very good team as well, so that will be a great game, and the UNC-Duke game at Duke, might be UNC's best chance for a lose against another ranked team.
The ACC/Big 10 butt kicking is over, but it was only 6-5, so it was a lot closer this year, but both main match ups were won by a lot by the ACC. They are still much better at the top. Ohio State, PSU, Min, Northwestern and Wisconsin got the wins for the Big ten, besides OSU who beat da U on the road, and Wisconsin who beat Va tech on the road, those other 3 teams are not very good, and were playing bottom feeding ACC teams. Northwester's win at home vs Free shoe may have been the best for that group, Min beating Virginia at home is nothing special but you know PSU beating UGA Tech on the road is another good win. So maybe the big ten isn't as bad as everyone thinks, or the ACC isn't as great as everyone thinks... or UNC and Duke are great, but everyone else is average at best. I'm right, you're wrong.
Stl at Arz- The cards are back home, playing in the division, which means, cards win 28-10
Atl at NO- I think the Saints are done, Atlanta has been playing so well, who saw that coming, what a great job by them, but since I am a stupid, and a very slow learner, one last time, with the Saints playing at home, I am picking them to win, Saints win 31-27
Tb at Car- Man this is a big big game, and in those in the nfl you usually want to go with the home team, especially after a nice win in Green Bay last week. The Bucks can still get the two seed, unless something changes one of these two teams will, so do I give it to the home team, or do I go with what I picked in the preseason when I picked all the games? Home team, Panters win 24-21
Jag at Chi- Have I mentioned yet how wrong I was about the Jags, could not be more wrong if I tried, man, have they disappointed me. I have learned my lesson with them, I promise, Bears 17-10
Dal at Pit- Another big game for the Steelers, but it is at home again, like the Giants and Colts game, which they lost, and not on the road, like the engals and Pats game, which they won... ummm, is there a pattern forming here. Lets go with it. Dallas wins 24-21
Min at Det- Here are the Lions playing at home again, so I will not have to watch it, cause this one, will be blacked out, I am almost 100% sure about that. Lets see if they can get 5 points, so in 7 games they can score the same amount of points, 98 as UNC scored in one last night in basketball. Maybe they can get a TD, and the Viks usually play bad against the Lions, remember it was 12-10 last game in Min, and that was the game Dan O ran out of the end zone not knowing it for a safety, but I think the Viks will be ready, and no team wants to be the team to lose to the Lions, Viks win 28-10
Hou at GB- I like the Texans, ok, really I just like Andre Johnson, but in Green Bay, I have to give it to the Packers, Pack win 24-17
Phi at NYG- Another big game, against a team with a wining record for my Giants, I know the Steelers are right up there, but the Giants have played all but like three games against teams with wining records, ok, now that I think about it, 5, 49ers, seahawks, cinci, browns, who was suppose to be good,and the rams, everyone else is a playoff team, or in contention. That is a hard schedule, oh, and they are 11-1. Everything going on this week, I think the game will be a nice chance to get away from it all and come out and get a big division win. Giants 28-17
NYJ at SF- Jets, next. jets win 28-14
NE at Sea- The Pats take last weeks loss out on the hawks. Pats win 31-10.. btw.. how much does it suck to be a sports fan in that city right now, man, that has to hurt, sonics leave, your baseball team had the worst record in the AL, seahwaks suck, wash is 0-11, damn.
Was at Bal- I love the Ravens D but this is a must win for the skins, of course with a Steelers lose and a Ravens they could be in first place, so I am on the face on this one, this actually might be the second or third best game of the wee, a lot on the line. So, do I go with the home team, or my preseason pick? wait, in the preseason I picked the home team, oh, well, in that case Ravens win 17-14
Mia at Buf- Bills at home, lets give them one last chance to get semi back in the race. Bills win 24-21
Cin at Ind- Colts roll 31-7, next
Cle at Ten- Titans get the job done. 24-10
Kc at Den- Denver at home, played great last week, I almost want to take KC, and you know what..... I will.... my UPSET PICK OF THE WEEK.... KC wins 28-27
Oak at SD- In tonight's game, called the 2008 NFL Europe championship by Mike n Mike, that league went under if you didn't know, I like the Chargers to roll, please, one last time, play like a good team. Actually I need LDT to do it a few more times, and if Rivers doesn't put up big fantasy numbers tonight I might have to find him and beat him up. SD wins 31-10
ok, so there you go, week 14 already. One last non football thing:
UNC-MSU- UNC is stacked, and yeah MSU doesn't have Suton yet and Roe is not 100%, and I knew UNC would win, but by 35. Wow, it wasn't a true on campus home game, and I actually thought that hurt MSU a little bit, not that they would have won, and they hung around for awhile, but UNC is just too much. Ty Lawson needs to be on that All American team with Curry, Psyco T, Griffen and Luke Harrengody.. I mean, they can announce that now.. that is the 1st team, right there. No question in my mind.

So maybe the big ten isn't as bad as everyone thinks, or the ACC isn't as great as everyone thinks... or UNC and Duke are great, but everyone else is average at best. I'm right, you're wrong.

week 13 NFL wrap up.. and other thoughts
well I only went 10-6 this week, bringing me to 120-72-1 on the year. I should have went with my Jets pick, as I said, it screams let down game, and I wouldn't be surprised if Denver won, should have went with it, oh well. Anyway, a few quick thoughts;
-I was so wrong about the Chargers and Jags it isn't even funny, and the Saints too, but the Chagrers and Jags more, I mean who saw that coming. Did Merriman mean that much to their defense. It is clear LDT is done being LDT, and now is just a good back at best, and that happens, but they are just bad. I am shocked by that, but I guess that's the NFL
-The Lions need to beat the Viks this week, or it may not happen for them. I am getting more and more on board with the 0-16, I just think with some of the close games they have had, they will win one, but maybe not. I kind of hope they don't, it will be funny. especially after their 4-0 preseason that got all their fans pumped, ha.
-Plax, Plax, Plax... listen, I love you, ok, I do, I have cheered for you for a long time, I watched a lot of your college games at MSU, before I was a college student, and MSU was my favorite school, and when the Giants got you I was so happy. We had some great times, but know this, no one player is bigger then the team, or the league. I am glad you are ok, but that is just dumb of you to do. I will quick steal a line from Chris Rock.
"Don't go to parties with Mendel dictators, sure it feels self inside, but what about all those n*ggas waiting outside with guns.. they know you ant got one."
well Plax, if you think you need a gun to be safe places, it might not be the best place for you to go. Just something to think about. How quick a fall. From catching the game wining TD in the super bowl, signing a big contract extension and then this happens, he may go to jail, he has already been suspended by the Giants for the season, and by no means will they take him back, I would be shocked. Hixon is playing great, smith and moss are still young, plus we drafted mario mannignham in the 2nd round last year, plus if tyre comes back. Yeah Toomer is old, but we have a good receiving core, we don't need you. You are a great player, one of my favorites actually, but we can win with out you, which we have shown. The Giants won games without you Plax, and they will win many more after you are gone. I just hope you figure that out, and you stay safe. I wish you well.
Quick note.. I need a Jacobs jersey now, xmas list folks, I need one, since my giants jersey now are LT, witch of course I can always wear, Lavar, I'm so sorry, my bad, shockey, who is now gone, and Plax, who is about to be gone. So that leads me with needing a Jacobs jersey, if anyone wants to get me one, that would be great, XL please.
-Duke-Purdue tonight should be a great one. Because the game is at Purdue I really think they are going to win. This is Duke's first true road game, and first real test of the year, lord knows the big ten needs some wins vs the ACC and this is a great chance to get one.
-Gonzaga-Tenn on Sunday was a lot of fun. The Zags are good, and I don't mean, mid major good, I mean final four chances good. They are loaded, and well coached, and still play like their are the underdogs in every game, that is a scary combination.
-Is it funny that UNC is number 1 in the guys polls and Uconn is number 2, where in the women's polls Uconn is number one, and UNC is number two... just thought I would share, if no one else saw that.. don't really know if it means anything, besides this is a great time to be a student at one of those schools.. you get to watch some great basketball.
-Did I mention if you need to have a gun to feel safe, you shouldn't go to that place
-MSU-UNC tomorrow. I wish I was going, but since the boss has her last grad class that night I will be watching it at home, MSU has a chance, they are a good team, but UNC is just so loaded. I really don't see UNC losing a big game, I think there only losses, if they have any, which I think they will, college basketball is just too hard to go undefeated the whole way and win a national title, IU in 76, is against teams that are not good, and just shoot the 3 ball well that game, get some guys in foul trouble and UNC comes out not ready to play and misses shots. Against better teams, I think they will be ready to go. Plus it isn't at MSU, it's at ford field, so sure there will be a lot of people there, but it isn't a true on campus home court advantage.
-Texas/OK, real quick, just cause a lot of talk about this has been happening the last few days. People wonder how can Texas beat OK and be below them, well OK also beat cinci who is the big east champ, and TCU who is a top 15 team in their non conference, who did Texas play. I am actually surprised more people haven't brought that up. If both teams played the same schedule and each had one loss, sure the team who won head to head should go, but there are so many other factors. Plus tech beat texas, and OK beat tech by over 40. Again, the big problem will be, if Mizzu wins, cause then does texas, who doesn't even make their conference title game go to the national title game over a team like USC who won their conference.. all hell would break lose then... who needs a playoff, this is so much fun. I'm right, you're wrong.
-I was so wrong about the Chargers and Jags it isn't even funny, and the Saints too, but the Chagrers and Jags more, I mean who saw that coming. Did Merriman mean that much to their defense. It is clear LDT is done being LDT, and now is just a good back at best, and that happens, but they are just bad. I am shocked by that, but I guess that's the NFL

Friday of feast week
So I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving yesterday. I enjoyed eating lots of food, having a few cold ones, actually I went with whisky and coke but whatever, and watching lots of sports. Mostly I watched basketball, mainly because the football games sucked, but even if they were good, I love basketball, so I am going to watch as much as I can. A few things have happened thus far during feast week, one of the best weeks of the year, that I would like to give my thoughts on.
-MSU will be fine, number one, give Maryland credit they played well, and it seemed like most of the game they couldn't miss. But without Suton, Rowe is not 100% yet, and Morgan in foul trouble, plus shooting bad including from the line, you are not going to win. They are a young team and will be fine. They have a tough schedule but this isn't football and Coach Izzo has shown over and over he would rather be 20-11 and know what his team can do, have a great rotation and peak during March, then go 26-4 and not really know anything about his team, and lose in the second round. Of course they are going to the big dance, and I still think it is between them and Purdue for the big ten title, so they will be fine. Of course it would be nice to win some of these early games, but yesterday just wasn't there day.
-Gonzaga did what they had to do to beat OK state, and know I am looking forward to watching that game here in a little bit today. I like MSU and Gonzaga, so at least now I don't have to pick, I can cheer for the Zags the rest of this tourney.
-Tenn played very well, in a great game with G-town today, they are still going to be tough to beat in the sec.
-UNC is just loaded, I mean ND is a good team, and they got rolled
- I wonder who is going to be the 5th player on the all american team, if I had to pick, the 4 locks are Curry, Blake Griffen, psycho t, and L Harrengody, the question, who will be number 5, Ty Lawson, Pat Mills, Aj Price. What do you think? Right now, I think it is going to be Lawson, he does do so much for that team, I know Price is good, and Uconn will be very good, so it will be hard not too have a huskie on there, but we shall see.
-I just love college basketball, I'm sorry, I want to write more about it right now, but Purdue-OK is on, so I better get going, I don't want to miss anymore of that game.
Real quick, my chippewa football team lost 56-52 to emu today, now a few things you should know, emu is bad, and as now beaten us 4 out of 5 years, it was their last game for their coach, who was fired earlier this week. Our defense is really bad. we gave up 56 points, just so you know, earlier this year, our BASKETBALL team gave up 53 points in a win at Princeton, and really only gives up 60 points or less a game. So our football defense gives up more points then our basketball defense.. never a good thing. The only reason we are 8-4 is one, we play in the mac, lets be honest, and two, our offense is very good, and can score on anyone. Only 17 vs UGA, but that isn't too bad. We should have won today, and were 40 seconds away from beating Purdue, but that is how close you can be from having a great 10-2 season, and having a 8-4 season, that you feel bad about. They have still come a long long way from the time they were 5-7 or 4-8 like they were when I got to school there in the fall of 01 So I do remain a very proud graduate. I just feel bad for the sr's. Especially, those that I know still personally, manily Brain Brunner, our backup qb, who deserved to go out better. In fact the only time we beat emu the last 5 years, was in 06, when he came in and won the game for us. OK, sorry for that tangent, now back to watching college basketball. I'm right, you're wrong.
-MSU will be fine, number one, give Maryland credit they played well, and it seemed like most of the game they couldn't miss.

NFL week 13 picks
Yes because of the 3 games tomorrow, and one starting early, I thought I would do a special Holiday Wednesday addition of my NFL picks, to give people time to tell me I am dumb. I went 11-5 last week, which makes me 110-66-1 on the year. So here we go, we will start with the 3 Thanksgiving games.
Arz at Phi- If phi wants any chance at the playoffs, they have to win, if the cards want to be taking seriously I think they have to win. They go east, night game, it will be cold. This will be a test for them. I still like the Cards, but I think there is still some fight in the Eagles. Phi wins 21-17
Sea at Dal- How bad are the seahawks, the cowboys are getting more points at home, as the Lions are giving up at home, to the Titans. I didn't see this coming. They suck, the cowboys are back to playing well, damn. Cowboys 35-14
Ten at Det- Sadly the Titans lost last week, and ruined the whole 11-0 vs 0-11, but 10-1, 0-11 isn't much better. So what happens, do the Lions actually put it all together, play with some pride on Thanksgiving and get a win, or does a mad Titans team come to the D and take it out on the Lions. Um, let me think about that one, there are upset picks, and then there is being stupid. Lions keep it close for a bit, and then get blown out. Titans 31-17
ATL at SD- Chargers need a win, they can still win the division because Denver sucks too. I am not giving up on my AFC champs yet. Chargers win 31-21
Car ar GB- Green Bay needs the win more then the Panters right now, and they are at home, that is good enough for me to pick the Packers to win 21-17
Chi at Min- Big division game, I usually give it to the home team, and this is going to be no different. Viks win 24-21
No at TB- Well lets see, the Saints played well last week, so that means they are going to play bad this week right? So far that is how it has worked. but just for fun, lets go with the Saints, 31-24
NYG at Was- Tough road game for my G-men, but they have showed me all year they can win them, and when they are picked to lose road games, they come through. So, I have faith. My Giants will win this game, 24-17
Mia at Stl- Rams will not win, next, Mia 28-14
Sf at Buf- 49ers will not win, next, Bills 24-10
Bal at Cin- Bengals will not win, next, Ravens 21-7
Ind at Cle- So with Brady out, it is back to Anderson. The Colts have looked like themselves the last 5 weeks, and they will keep that up. Colts win 28-17
Den at NYJ- The Jets continue to impress, and surprise me. I was wrong, I am a believer, they will not make the super bowl or anything, I am not that sold, but they will beat Denver at home. Jets 28-21... btw, this does scream let down game, but I am not going to pick it.. just know, I will not be surprised.
Jag at Hou- I am officially off the Jags bandwagon, and have officially given up on them, so much so, I will take the Texans at home. Texans 21-17
KC at Oak- I feel bad for anyone who actually has to watch this game. But because I have to pick a winner, at home, lets go Raiders 17-14
Pitt at NE- At home, the way Cassel has been playing, I am giving it to the Pats. The Steelers are good, and have a great defense, but I think the Pats will be ready. Pats 21-17
Well there you have it. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone. If you didn't see the Texas-ND bball game yesterday, I feel bad for you. God I love college basketball, and this is one of the best weeks of the year, when you add college basketball, with some college football, lots of NFL, still got the NBA, and I think the NHL, but I am not sure about the NHL, are they still playing? does anyone know? plus lots and lots of great food, just a wonderful week. I'm right, you're wrong.
Arz at Phi- If phi wants any chance at the playoffs, they have to win, if the cards want to be taking seriously I think they have to win. They go east, night game, it will be cold. This will be a test for them. I still like the Cards, but I think there is still some fight in the Eagles. Phi wins 21-17
Sea at Dal- How bad are the seahawks, the cowboys are getting more points at home, as the Lions are giving up at home, to the Titans. I didn't see this coming. They suck, the cowboys are back to playing well, damn. Cowboys 35-14
Ten at Det- Sadly the Titans lost last week, and ruined the whole 11-0 vs 0-11, but 10-1, 0-11 isn't much better. So what happens, do the Lions actually put it all together, play with some pride on Thanksgiving and get a win, or does a mad Titans team come to the D and take it out on the Lions. Um, let me think about that one, there are upset picks, and then there is being stupid. Lions keep it close for a bit, and then get blown out. Titans 31-17
ATL at SD- Chargers need a win, they can still win the division because Denver sucks too. I am not giving up on my AFC champs yet. Chargers win 31-21
Car ar GB- Green Bay needs the win more then the Panters right now, and they are at home, that is good enough for me to pick the Packers to win 21-17
Chi at Min- Big division game, I usually give it to the home team, and this is going to be no different. Viks win 24-21
No at TB- Well lets see, the Saints played well last week, so that means they are going to play bad this week right? So far that is how it has worked. but just for fun, lets go with the Saints, 31-24
NYG at Was- Tough road game for my G-men, but they have showed me all year they can win them, and when they are picked to lose road games, they come through. So, I have faith. My Giants will win this game, 24-17
Mia at Stl- Rams will not win, next, Mia 28-14
Sf at Buf- 49ers will not win, next, Bills 24-10
Bal at Cin- Bengals will not win, next, Ravens 21-7
Ind at Cle- So with Brady out, it is back to Anderson. The Colts have looked like themselves the last 5 weeks, and they will keep that up. Colts win 28-17
Den at NYJ- The Jets continue to impress, and surprise me. I was wrong, I am a believer, they will not make the super bowl or anything, I am not that sold, but they will beat Denver at home. Jets 28-21... btw, this does scream let down game, but I am not going to pick it.. just know, I will not be surprised.
Jag at Hou- I am officially off the Jags bandwagon, and have officially given up on them, so much so, I will take the Texans at home. Texans 21-17
KC at Oak- I feel bad for anyone who actually has to watch this game. But because I have to pick a winner, at home, lets go Raiders 17-14
Pitt at NE- At home, the way Cassel has been playing, I am giving it to the Pats. The Steelers are good, and have a great defense, but I think the Pats will be ready. Pats 21-17
Well there you have it. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone. If you didn't see the Texas-ND bball game yesterday, I feel bad for you. God I love college basketball, and this is one of the best weeks of the year, when you add college basketball, with some college football, lots of NFL, still got the NBA, and I think the NHL, but I am not sure about the NHL, are they still playing? does anyone know? plus lots and lots of great food, just a wonderful week. I'm right, you're wrong.
