1st and 10 (Week 8)

thoughts from last week
- Tiki tiki tembo no sa rembo chari bari ruchi pip peri pembo

- MNF: Cowboys get PWND by Jints
- on the negative side, LaVar Arrington gets lost for the year
- a huge chunk of a team's SuperBowl chances depend on health and luck. a player gets injured on or off the field, that's it. but imagine if all teams were healthy ... then it'll come down on talent.
- bar wisdom from FO's Mike Tanier: "Grant me the serenity to watch the games I cannot change, the courage to change the games I can (like fourth quarter blowouts), and the wisdom to not ask a bunch of guys in black biker gear to turn off a Raiders game."
- Rams can extend sleeper status, whilst the World Series is going on (what, there's a World Series?)
- speaking of baseball, the sports chatter generated by Smudgegate was unbelievable
- between my man Bill Simmons and my new man Mike Greenberg, i chose Why My Wife Thinks I'm An Idiot ... got a great nugget of wisdom within the first (long) chapter. thanks, Mike.
- didn't finish positive on prognosticating for 2nd week in a row. "Bucs dont get another squeaker" - hahahahahahaha! then i picked the Jags over the Texans ... good thing they didn't beat my ass when i got in at Bush International.
- and the Cardinals losing to the Raiders - the Raiders! - was just pathetic.

Week 8 Prognostications
San Francisco at Chicago ... truly a cupcake schedule
Atlanta at Cincinnati ... no more Chad celebrations? waaaugh!
Seattle at Kansas City ... Seahawks are in trouble
Houston at Tennessee ... #1 vs #3
Arizona at Green Bay ... bet the Birds fold at Lambeau
Tampa Bay at NY Giants ... let idiots beware Tiki
Jacksonville at Philadelphia ... the downward spirals
Baltimore at New Orleans ... until they make playoffs, are Saints for real?
St. Louis at San Diego ... if no Shawne Merriman, no Charge
Pittsburgh at Oakland ... is Art Shell awake?
Indianapolis at Denver ... this is purely a statistical bet
NY Jets at Cleveland ... J,E,T,S, Jets! Jets! Jets!
Dallas at Carolina ... Romo Time! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, here comes the Romo!
New England at Minnesota ... Pats quietly sneaking into playoffs

last week: 5-8
overall: 61-39
