Football Picks Week 8

I’m back after a hiatus last week. I forgot to write down my picks because I was going to my friend’s apartment for game one. The good news is that I’m going to remember for this week. Without further ado, they are: Arizona vs. Buffalo Detroit vs. Dallas Jacksonville vs. Houston Indianapolis vs. Kansas City NY Giants vs. Minnesota Cincinnati vs Tennessee Green Bay vs. Washington Baltimore vs. Philadelphia Atlanta vs. Denver Carolina vs. Seattle New England vs. Pittsburgh Oakland vs. San Diego San Fransisco vs. Chicago Miami vs. NY Jets If you’ll notice, I actually picked the two undefeated teams to win again this week. The odds are against them, but the Eagles and Patriots are my two favorites for the Superbowl at this point. However, if another NFC team starts to pick up the slack, I will pick them over the Eagles simply because the Eagles always suck in the post season. ...

Integrity in Journalism: What's That?

Curt Schilling is one of the most popular players in Red Sox Nation. His last two performances showed gritty determination and incredible ability. The Magic Sock Or did it? According to Laura Vecsey at the Baltimore Sun, it was a ruse. It’s good to know that Laura knows where the real news is. She’s getting down to the real issues. We can only hope that Bud Selig notices and forms an investigation team, a la the 9/11 Commission. This is important stuff. Forget that it’s wild speculation and the fact that the only evidence she seems to have comes out of New York: ...

Riots ‘R Us

I wrote an entry about how our society and, I’m ashamed to say, my generation treats the current state of privilege. In particular, I remarked upon how privileges are now being confused with rights. This, I can safely say, is the cause for the recent riots at U-Mass and in Boston. The vast majority of rioters were either college students or of that age. In other words, they are part of my generation. ...

U-Mass Makes Me Proud

In response to the Red Sox victory in game six, thousands of University of Massachusetts gathered in Southwest, only to have 35 arrested. Who says we don’t still got it? Tonight will be incredible. I’d expect thousands more to gather at the conclusion of the game. I hope my brother and the rest of the U-Mass police are ready.

Steinbrenner to A-Rod…

You’re Fired In a bonehead maneuver, A-Rod’s swipe at Arroyo’s hand (and attempt at cheating) probably just cost the Yankees game six and possibly the ALCS. I couldn’t have written it better myself.

Updated Football Prediction Record

I figure I might as well take my lumps now while I’m riding high on this past weekends picks. I had the horrible misfortune of have a 6-8 record during week five. Sad. Week six thus far has been much better. So far, it’s 11-2. Houston always surprises me and I’m glad to see Green Bay on the road to recovery. I now have a 37-18 record for the season.
