Cooley looks to be the dominant one. Am I correct?

These goddamn NFL Network and their hippie weekday games have my schedule all out of whack. Bastards. And fuck you Bryant Gumbel. I had to listen to your godawful commentary during the Browns/Steelers game. What the fuck are you doing in football anyway? Get the hell out of here and leave the play-by-play to your brother, Greg. Cleveland at Pittsburgh (7.5) Incorrect. Yeah, I got it wrong. But what I want to talk about is how Kellow Winslow landed a cheap shot on a Steelers linebacker only to have his bell run on the next play, dropping a sure catch. Then Joey Porter called him a fag after the game and gets fined. Way to go Joey. I’m being serious. Of course, should he knock him out of the next game they play, or commits a personal foul, I wonder if Porter could be accused of committing a hate crime. (3.5) Atlanta at Tampa Bay. Incorrect I have no idea what to say about this one. Baltimore at Kansas City (2.5). Correct. Wow. I didn’t know this was the first Chiefs loss at home in December in 10 years. Boy do I look smart now. Buffalo at N.Y. Jets (4.5). Correct. I forgot who won this game, so I had to look it up on NFL.com. I saw the score, saw who I picked and thought, “Why’d I do that?” (1.5) Indianapolis at Jacksonville. Incorrect. Well, now that the Jags finally beat their divisional big brother, I can now feel comfortable in picking them to outright win a game against the Colts. Minnesota at Detroit (2.5). Correct. I still don’t understand how the Lions were even favored in this one. (3.5) New England at Miami. Incorrect. Wow, the Pats got shut out. Um, that ain’t good. New Orleans at Dallas (6.5). Incorrect. From my prediction entry: Yeah, that defense. OK then. N.Y. Giants at Carolina (3.5). Incorrect. Wow, and to think I thought the Panthers were Super Bowl contenders. Oakland at Cincinnati (10.5). Correct. The Raiders played a few teams tough this year, but I knew this would be a blow-out. (1.5) Philadelphia at Washington. Correct. Whew. Won this one by half-a-point. Tennessee at Houston (1.5). Correct. I’m glad Vince Young is doing OK this year. I don’t know what his stats are, but his team is playing better, and that’s all that matters. Green Bay at San Francisco (5.5). Correct. I have no idea what the Packers’ record is. Huh, 5-8. (3.5) Seattle at Arizona. Incorrect. First the Colts finally lose to the Jaguars, now Seattle can’t beat Arizona. Fiddlesticks. Denver at San Diego (7.5). Incorrect. Damn San Diego is looking good. Wouldn’t it be funny if the Chargers meet the Saints in the Super Bowl? (6.5) Chicago at St. Louis. Incorrect. I thought I made a good selection when I went to bed with the score still close. Then I saw the score the next morning and went “WTF?” This week’s record: 7-9 Cumulative record: 100-108 Well, if I go perfect in today's games I’ll be at .500 for the season. Sure, why not?

Deadine has come and gone. Seattle is using EPs.

The listings within each won/loss bracket don't mean anything. I'm not going to try and figure out regular season tie-breakers until the last week or so. I also didn't factor in divisional records into the "Division Leader" games remaining yet. AFC Division Leaders SFA Jack -- two game lead in division Always Pissed Off -- three game lead Bob Barron -- half-game lead, or something like that Smues -- a lead in this division doesn't mean shit Wild Card 7-5-1 Kahran Ramsus 7-6 Prime Time Andrew Doyle Cuban Linx Alfdogg 6-6-1 nl-asshole 6-7 Gert T Bored Porter Canadian Chris 5-7-1 Teke King PK 4-9 Spaceman Spiff NFC Division Leaders Harley Quinn -- half-game lead, or something like that Bravesfan -- one game lead King of the 909 -- two game lead Vern Gagne -- two game lead Wild Card 8-5 Danville Wrestling Starvenger 7-6 Vitamin X 6-7 Human Fly 5-7-1 Cena's Writer 5-8 Cartman Hawk 34 Lightning Flik C Dubya Canadian Guitarist 4-9 Agent of Oblibion Fazzle

Good point. And because I'm at work doing actual ... well, work, I will not be able to display picks in time for the DAL/ATL game. For those who don't know what your opponent's picks are, just hope your team wins/covers.

You're right, and I like to think rather that rather than focusing on the one game two people differed on, more attention should be paid to, in these instances, the 8-12 that they agreed upon that turn out to be incorrectly picked. But there's nothing wrong with looking for ways to improve.

For the record, Kahran PM'd me his picks on Dec 13 2006, 06:13 PM, so put to rest any "copying" that went on with this matchup (I'm not accusing you of thinking that, mind you, because I know you're not; I just wanted to clear this up). This is the second or third time this has happened this season, and I don't know what to do in order to make these contests more competitive. When this contest was a straight-up pick 'em, these 1-2 matchup differences were much greater, hence the switch over to point spreads. You mentioned in a previous thread about adding over/unders, etc., which is a good idea and one I've thought of as well, but 1) it would take away from the spirit of actually picking games, in my opinion, and 2) I don't want everyone to have to pick a variety of other predictions every week that have nothing to do with which teams will win/cover the spread. Like I've said before, any ideas will be considered; that's why whenever I have an idea for this contest I like to put it up to a vote because I'd rather have thirty-three perspectives on the league than just one.

Now get a job, hippie. Having graduated in "mid-year" as well, is your school doing any fancy graduation ceremony, or are they just kicking you out with that piece of overpriced paper otherwise known as a diploma?

I was watching ATH today, and Woody was back in Denver. Anyone know if he went back to the Post or if he was just visiting?

• I told you that Karl Rove was a genius. Getting our hopes all down about Democrats taking charge only to toy with our emotions weeks later by offing a senator under the guise of a medical condition and beginning the eventual takeover of Congress once again. Actually, I feel for the guy from South Dakota. He seemed to be sane enough for a Democrat. It’s a shame this didn’t happen to, say, a certain Senator from New York. Actually, I wouldn’t have cared if it happened to Hitlery or Schmuck Jewmer. Any you know what? Even if the guy dies and that state’s Republican governor picks one of his own, it’s not really going to matter. Yeah, the Senate will be split, giving Dick Cheney the tie-breaking vote, but so what? It’s the SENATE. It’s Republican-lite. Arlen Specter. Susan Collins. Olympia Snow. How the hell are they in the same party as me? Whatever. • Wait a second. Is this the chick from the American Pie movies who was the girl who gave all sorts of love advice but never got a dicking of her own? Now I know why. • Oh no, Judith Regan got canned by Rupert Murdoch. Like I’m supposed to care. But hey, it’s in red text on Drudge’s Web site, so this must be important. • So I haven’t watched ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption in a while and decided to tune in. And what do I see? Kommie Kornheiser acting like goddamn pussy because some guy from the Chicago Bears got busted for having an invalid gun permit for a half-dozen firearms in his house. Christ, I thought Tony was going to shit himself regarding this story. What’s the big deal? Brotha’s gotta protect his crib. Then Tony has to remind us all about how much he hates guns and that they’re bad and shit. Normally I bitch about Wilbon during this show, but I have to give Tony an open-handed slap across the face this time. • Although the critics who say what this mayor did was patronizing, I feel for the poor theater ushers who had to clean up the mess these crazy people probably made while sitting through this movie. • I was going to make a joke about what ever will black people do now that they’re no longer “king of the mountain,” until I realized that Indian penises were too small for condoms. I bet Asians are feeling mighty good about themselves right about now. • Eh, I knew someone who beat off into pizzas at his job. No, it wasn’t me. With all the crap jobs I’ve worked over the years, two places I’ll never work are grocery stores and pizza joints. No, I don’t consider myself better than those who bag my groceries or knead my dough. I’m just a lazy bastard. Actually, this part of the story had me laughing. Well no shit. But then again, I'm sure there were at least one or two who got turned on by this.

That was an erie track. I still like his older work much better, though. However, one song on that album which got a laugh out of me when I first heard it was "3 Strikes You In," especially the part about having to steal second base.

San Francisco at Seattle (9.5) Normally I’d be going with Seattle, but they really haven’t been blowing out these NFC West teams like they have in the past. Go 49ers. (3.5) Dallas at Atlanta The Cowboys got blown out at home on NATIONAL TELEVISION and the Falcons won against the Buccaneers. I’ll stick with the Cowboys. Cleveland at Baltimore (11.5) I’m not sure what to do with this one. Sure the Ravens are way better than the Browns, but this is a divisional game. And AFC North rivalry games can be zany. However, the Bengals blew out the Browns a few weeks back, and the Steelers made up for their near-defeat at Cleveland by trouncing them weeks later. Yay Ravens. Detroit at Green Bay (5.5) It’ll probably be cold out. Detroit sucks. Houston at New England (11.5) Uh oh. The Pats are favored by nearly a dozen points against a crappy team. Now will they continue to struggle or will take their aggressions out against the Texans. I got burned with New England against Detroit. I’ll now side with the Texans in a blow-out game so I can bitch next week that I should have stuck with the Pats. (3.5) Jacksonville at Tennessee Uh oh. Another game I don’t have an initial feeling on. I’m in an upset mood: I’ll take the Titans. Miami at Buffalo (1.5) Miami shut out New England. I smell let-down game. But Buffalo is favored by only 1.5 at home? I’ll take the Dolphins in a last-second change of picks. N.Y. Jets at Minnesota (3.5) I’ve been hoping that the Vikings would be a break-out team this year, but it looks like they are just run-of-the-mill. I don’t know if I should take them because I’m guessing the Jets will flop these last few weeks. Drat. I’ll go with the Jets anyway. Philadelphia at N.Y. Giants (5.5) I’m so going with Philly in this one. I don't know why. (3.5) Pittsburgh at Carolina How the hell are the Steelers favored? I was going to pick them thinking that the Panthers would be the favored team. Now I don’t know what to do. I go with the Panthers. Tampa Bay at Chicago (13.5) I’ll hope the Bucs can score a late-game touchdown to bring the contest to within 13 points. Washington at New Orleans (9.5) Washington won a game or two lately, so I’ll hope they can score a late game touchdown to bring the contest to within 9 points. (2.5) Denver at Arizona Denver has been off as of late, but are they really that off to only be favored by less than three points? I’ll stick with them anyway. Kansas City at San Diego (8.5) Here’s hoping Kansas City can keep it close. St. Louis at Oakland (2.5) Oakland is favored? Give me the Rams. Cincinnati at Indianapolis (3.5) Hmm. Indy is slumping and Cincy is getting hot. Will this game spell impending doom for the Colts? I’m going to guess Indianapolis wakes up to the call and wins by more than a field goal. This is still the regular season, after all.

Whatever is on sale over the next weekend or two.

Deadline has come and gone for the Thursday games: SEA, DET, NYG didn't submit picks. There's a Saturday game now, too?

Ah, shoot. I forgot he started last week. He's starting again? Is Delhomme hurt or just in time out?

KKK’s Top 103 Posters Number 45: Canadian Chick There is quite a bit of testosterone when it comes to message boards that deal with pro wrestling, so whenever a female poster steps forward it’s like a needle pricking your thumb while goofing around in a stack of hay. Now while some females, when presented with this situation, may enjoy the attention, I’m sure there are others who dread the stalkish-like behavior they have to deal with. Having seen Canadian Chick do I’m quite certain that not only can she blend in as being one of the guys (at least on the days where she’s not ragging it) but she could also probably pummel many of us with snap suplexes, half-nelsons or whatever those things are. Damaramu being first in line, of course. And now a word or four from the expert panel I’ve assembled to comment on the people I’ve listed. From EricMM: From Carnival: From SFA Jack: From Cancer Marney: • While talking via AIM to one of my Internet chums, we got into a conversation about “what is love.” (Wow, that sounded gay.) To make a long story short, I was explaining to him then when tell someone that you love them, at that point you should expect to spend the rest of your life with that person. After all, if you “love” someone, then nothing should deter you from your one true soul mate. Perhaps I’m a little extreme when it comes to this subject, but I have always sparingly used the “l” word. Now of course I’ve said “I love that movie” or “I love that song,” but that’s not the same thing, in my opinion, when sitting next to someone you’ve been dating for a year or so and saying, “I love you.” In this context, I have said the “l” word twice in my life, although I only meant it once. The first time was with the first relationship I had that lasted longer than a trip to the amusement park or an all-night kegger. For months, the ex-better half kept saying how she “loved” me (God knows why), and I would say that I couldn’t reply back because I didn’t know if I felt the same. Sure I cared for her and all that shit, but I always prided myself in not faking my emotions. After a while, like a beaten POW, I relented after some stupid fight (I can’t remember what it was about), but we both knew I was just saying it to shut her up. Shortly after we broke up (she did the dumping, I was the dumpee, but it was only a matter of time before one of us pulled the plug on this go-nowhere relationship). A few years later when I met Mrs. kkk, I uttered the “l” word again, and so far it’s been nine-plus years, so I think I’m holding up my end of this bargain. • David Duke calls the Holocaust a lie; would you expect anything different? I figure enough people are going to bitch about this, so why should I pile on when there’s plenty of other people to rag on, like that useless piece of shit Kofi Annan. Acutally, the holocaust denier I’m more concerned about is Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. One of these two Jew-haters will probably soon be able to launch a nuclear attack. The other one is a redneck. A follower to one of these two, in an effort to retaliate at you and your Jew passenger, will spit on your car’s windshield and wave a Confederate flag. A follower to the other nutjob will retaliate by blowing himself up. Oh, and by the way, how do we really know all those bodies were the result of concentration camps? Maybe some German hotel had a really good deal and too many Jews arrived, leaving many without coats out in the cold. Damn revisionist textbooks.

And going by current divorce rates, it seems that those two words mean jackshit, too.

The penny-pinchers take the staff out to some place for lunch and they go home early. Fuck that. I stay in my office and finish up my work so I'm all caught up when I return from the Christmas holiday. Last year the President's secretary said, when she found out I didn't "RSVP" for this stupid thing, that I wouldn't be allowed to leave early and would have to stay all day. Of course I work 6:30-3, so it's only like working an extra two hours. Me alone at the job > spending lunch with several people I have zero respect for.

Why can't you do it now?

Wild Card? Bitch, you're in the division hunt.

I always liked Caminiti, but you reap what you sow.

• The better half and I got into a disagreement over recently regifting a particular Christmas item, and no it wasn’t a fruitcake. A few years ago we got this $25 Blockbuster card; I can’t remember how or when we got this thing, but it has been posted on our kitchen corkboard for at least 18 months. We don’t go to Blockbuster, and the few times I thought of buying something from this store I could find the same products in better condition and at a cheaper price elsewhere. I don’t know what it is about renting movies; I just don’t like to do so. I’d rather just buy the thing at a cheap price and not feel rushed to return the movie by a certain time or end up paying late fees. Well Mrs. kkk was making some “movie gift pack” for a co-worker, and instead of going out and getting a gift card I suggested we just give this person our current Blockbuster card. It’s not like we spent any money from this piece of plastic, and it’s still in mint condition. What’s the big deal? Well after her bitching about this for a few minutes she finally relented and now we’re regifting. Oh well. • About a week ago I noticed that Comcast’s On Demand service had available “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” Now this film premiered back when I worked at the theater almost 10 years ago, and it was one of those movies I’d walk in and watch for 15-20 minutes at a time, but I would never actually sit through an entire screening. I figured what the hell and watched it. Eh. I could have wasted 90 minutes doing something worse. Anyway, after seeing this film, and remembering its sequel, “I still know what you did last summer,” I wondered why more sequels of this franchise weren’t made. As I was in Target today looking around while the better half was shopping for that PERFECT Christmas card *gag* I came across this. Good God. • Would the fact this event took place in San Francisco surprise anybody? I can't wait until the city government starts giving the homeless milk money, which of course will be spent on crack and booze. • So much for safe sex.

The only radio I listen to is talk. I can't remember the last time I tuned into the radio wanting to listen to music. What's your opinion on listening to satellite radio for music?

OK, time for another chapter from the in-law family book of tales. For those that don’t know by now, my sister-in-law is a crack whore. Now it was recently reported that her oldest daughter, now 19, is a crack-whore-in-training. But she’s starting out slow and is going to rehab for a problem with painkillers. The better half has said that the niece’s symptoms resemble those of a heroin user, but what does she know other than the fact she already went through this once with the matriarch of this crack-whore tag team. Well, my niece-in-law will be headed off to the rehab place on January 1, but in the meantime she has decided to take up a full-time job that pays $14.75/HOUR PLUS COMMISSION. She’s going to be such a success at this endeavor that she said she is quitting her part-time pizza-making job that she never shows up for in order to focus all her energies on this new job until she goes to the clinic. And just what is this dream job? Selling knives for Vector Marketing and Cutco cutlery products. LOL. Now after reading some of the above article, you might say, “But kkk, maybe your niece-in-law would like the sales industry. Maybe she has what it takes to succeed. Maybe she’ll like working hard to earn an honest day’s pay. Maybe she could work real hard and climb up that corporate ladder." Yeah. That’s why she’s been sleeping all day after her trip to the methadone clinic today. And whle I'm on a somewhat related subject, the kkk household received a Christmas card yesterday from my welfare receiving aunt-in-law. Of course, the postage was due on the damn thing. For those that forgot, this is the aunt-in-law I’m talking about.

I demand a recount.
