The New York Pop Warner Football Jets

I was going to make a joke about the Jets thinking THEY were the team that went to England, and thought they were playing cricket, and that three points would be plenty for a win, but I have no idea how cricket works, if they even have points, or if three are a lot. But that line of "comedy" (in the very loosest sense of the word) is going nowhere, so I'll stick with the far less inventive but far more accurate "J-E-T-S! S-U-C-K! SUCK SUCK SUCK!!!! Three points, against the BILLS? Really??? The ONE week I bet on them too. Bastards. Either way, Charlie can't bitch about me picking on the Giants, even though they only managed to beat the Dolphins (without Reggie Brown!) by 3 points! So if the Jets weren't so god awful, I'd probably be talking about that. Lord knows I'm not going to discuss a certain 52-7 debacle.

It's Wednesday again, I'm late again, and my hatred for Sam grows and grows, mirroring his climb further and further into first place. With the exception of the Vikings/Eagles game, which is the one pick I can fairly attribute to making my picks at 9am Sunday when I was still in really rough shape from the night before, it seems like I should have gone 12-1 this week and was somehow robbed.

Being that I'm slipping further and further BEHIND not only in this pool but in a few others, I'm going to have to start gambling much more heavily to feel better about the whole thing. I'll let you know how that all goes, probably from a Kinko's after I pawn my laptop.

If it's not obvious, I've been ripping a lot of the "content" on here from Kissing Suzy Kolber, so instead of copy/pasting it here, I'll just say again that it's pretty funny, and definitely worth reading. Especially the Schwarzenegger column to Shawne Merriman.

Lastly, Mike Greenberg put the over/under for THE game this week at 78. I wish that were the actual line just so I could put down a hundred bucks on over, because while 78 is a totally insane number, it's not really completely out of the realm of possibility, and everyone else would clearly take under. This was my get rich quick scheme this morning in the shower, that has faded under the harsh light of day. Goodnight.
