Weekly Picks

Another promising week where I missed my best bet and the Monday Night game. I will try to get both right again this week.

chicago +1/2 WASHINGTON
I hate doing this, but if it were any other team I would make this my best bet. There is no way the Redskins win this game. They're so awful in every phase, and even if RGIII figures it out, the defense still sucks.

st. louis +7 CAROLINA
This is just too many points to get from a bad team like the Panthers. I know they've looked better, but maybe that's just to sucker us in.

new england -3 1/2 NEW YORK JETS
I've had good luck picking New England, but the Jets are a little harder to figure. Because the spread is relatively small, I'll hope for some more Brady magic.

NEW YORK GIANTS -3 1/2 minnesota
Giants have been taking steps since the back to back blowouts against Carolina and Kansas City. Now it finally pays off in the first win off the season. It helps to be playing a quarterback who will throw more interceptions than Eli.

BEST BET
san francisco -3 1/2 TENNESSEE
I don't quite know why I feel so confident about this one. The Niners seem to be playing better, something that usually scares me away. But once again spread is somewhat small, so a win should be good enough here.

It's Not Free Stuff, It's Stealing

A problem with the backup system that controls the payments for EBT cards forced the entire system to crash over the weekend. That meant in 17 states people could not use their food stamp debit cards to buy food.
In most stores, they simply declined to accept EBT cards while the system was not functioning. In two Wal-Marts in Louisiana, store management (apparently with the approval of Wal-Mart corporate) continued to accept EBT cards as payment, even though the system was unable to debit users' accounts.
When word of this got around, people flocked to the stores and filled their carts up with anything they could find knowing the stuff would be free for them.
Cops had to be called to control the crowds, and eventually the system started to work again and debit customer accounts for their purchases.
Since they didn't have enough money on their EBT cards or any money of their own, these "shoppers" just abandoned their full shopping carts and walked out of the store. One woman tried to buy $700 worth of food and other items, with only 49 cents on her card.
Here is what the aftermath of this incident looked like:



Store employees were forced to clean up and restock as much as they could. But much of the food couldn't be put back, so it had to be discarded.

Customers who actually wanted to pay for their food couldn't shop there the next day because the shelves were wiped clean.

Wal-Mart chose not to prosecute in this incident, saying it would basically take the loss on all stolen and damaged items. So why did Wal-Mart give the go-ahead to let these people "buy" the stuff even though the EBT cards weren't working? Because they wanted to make sure people could get food to feed their families.

Note: Wal-Mart is an evil giant corporation that doesn't care about its customers and exploits its employees.

Many people are excusing this "looting" saying it's human nature to take as much as you can get it.

But in truth, it's stealing. Taking something that doesn't belong to you and not paying for it is stealing. Even if there is no mechanism to ever catch you.

This gets back to a larger point I have about the decline of American society. A certain segment of the population is economically worse off than others. We have taught these people that they are poor because others are rich, and they always be poor because the rich will always be rich. That general philosophy leads to incidents like this when people feel they are entitled to things, and they are not stealing, they are taking from an evil big corporation which has subjugated them in the first place.

But nothing has done more to keep poor people in poverty than the attitude that they will always be in poverty.

Note: Did you notice anything strange about that video? At about 15 seconds in you can see carts packed full of stuff, and in the background, a perfectly unmolested display of bananas. Even when they are free no one wants bananas.

Hail to the Native Americans

I root for the Washington Redskins. I harbor no ill will to Native Americans. I sympathize with their plight, but a team nickname is the least of their problems.
I'm not sure what sparked this latest and most powerful round of outrage but I'm quite certain it wasn't Native Americans, but more likely people who felt guilty about the horrible treatment of the American Indians throughout the years and think the Redskins team name is the latest slight to a downtrodden people.
It's offensive they say. That word is thrown around a lot and I think we need to be very careful in how we interpret it so that we don't get hijacked by the political correctness police.
In order to determine if something is offensive you need to look at the person saying it.
Forget what happened 200 years ago and the historical etymology of the word. Do you think for a minute that any Redskins fan or anyone involved with the team harbors any ill-will, scorn or hatred towards Native Americans? And are any of those people perpetuating the name or the likenesses that go with it as a means of insulting those people in order to economically and socially oppress them?
Of course not.

But we also have to consider those who claim to be offended. Are they seriously hurt by the use of the word and the imagery? I sincerely doubt this. Maybe some do, but there is also a huge portion of the population, according to polls who are honored by the team nicknames. Redskins, Chiefs, Braves were also chosen because they invoke images of proud warriors.

I actually think it would be a shame if this part of Native American culture were wiped out of the public consciousness by some well-meaning and misguided people who think they're helping and by some desperate, helpless Native Americans who want to feel powerful.
So I stand with Dan Snyder and hope he has the will to resist these forces calling for a name change.
I am a Redskins fan, and I am proud of it. Just as Native Americans should be proud of their heritage and the fact that millions of fans each Sunday choose to honor their past by rooting for the Redskins!

Song of the Week

"The Past" - Shaliek
The singing is great, the lyrics tell a story and the musical composition is fantastic. A near-perfect song.

The NFL is Poop - Week 6

Game of the Week
New England Patriots 30 New Orleans Saints 27
I gave up on this game when Tom Brady threw an interception with 2:16 left, giving the Saints the ball and a 4-point lead.
The Patriots were able to stop the Saints, use their remaining timeout plus the 2-minute warning, to force the Saints to punt. New England got the ball at their own 30 with a minute 13 left.
He masterfully ran the two minute drill converting on a 4th down, and then dropped a perfect pass in to Kenbrell Thompkins, who didn't drop it.

I know I shouldn't be, but I'm absolutely amazed Brady won this game. He is a great late-game performer, he's quick but doesn't hurry and he makes the right decisions.
But he got a big assist from the Saints who elected to go into "play not to lose mode" and of course, they lost.

What's Wrong With the Broncos?
Something happened on the way to being the most dominant team ever. The Broncos turned in two less than stellar performances in a row. They almost lost to the Cowboys, and they didn't slaughter the Jaguars which is probably even more embarrassing. I'm actually not surprised that they had a small letdown against the Jags, but I didn't expect it to affect Manning who threw only 2 touchdowns, as well as a pick-6 that really helped the Jags stay in it.
I'm being slightly facetious of course, because I believe Denver's offense can score pretty much whenever it wants against pretty much any defense in the league.
But there are some concerns about Denver's defense which will surely be tested in a huge matchup this week against the Colts.

Don't Sleep on the Chiefs
If the Colts do manage to pull off that upset of the Broncos, the Chiefs will be the NFL's lone remaining unbeaten (unless they somehow lose to the horrible Texans this week). I was skeptical about how good Kansas City could be this season. I have little respect for Andy Reid as a head coach. He may well be an offensive genius, but his in-game decision making often leaves a lot to be desired.
But the Chiefs have a good ball-hawking defense, a quarterback who doesn't throw picks, and a good running game lead by Jamaal Charles.
Those do seem like the elements of a team that can go deep in the playoffs.

A Brief Rant About the Redskins
This was the best game RGIII played so far this season. He was back to his old self running the ball, feeling free to take off with it, and actually being able to outrun some defenders but his accuracy was bad and his decision-making was worse. He threw several passes up for grabs, luckily only one was intercepted. He also was stripped of the ball, his 18th fumble in the NFL, though only the 4th he lost.

If Griffin doesn't start passing better, the Redskins are doomed to finish no better than 4-12.

Goat of the Week
Redskins special teams coach Keith Burns
The punt coverage team allowed returns of 86 and 90 yards, setting up two Dallas touchdowns. The first one was the worst because it came on a rekick after an illegal motion penalty. And while watching his unit get burned, Burns got in the official's way and drew a 15-yard penalty.

Picture of the Week
Larry Fitzgerald would have to be 15 feet tall to catch this pass.

Game of Next Week
Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts
I know a lot will be made of this one because Peyton Manning is going back to Indianapolis but this should also be a pretty good football game. These two teams are among the best in the AFC but both need to bounce back from less than stellar performances last week.

If the Super Bowl Were Played Today
Denver Broncos 35 Seattle Seahawks 21
The holds these two teams have on these spots in quite tenuous. I still like the Saints but they really blew a huge chance in New England. And of course I love the Broncos and I'm not downgrading them based on performance against Jacksonville. But due to schedule alone, they may be more likely to lose soon than Kansas City.

My Hero

For years I have complained about the douches that sit behind home plate at baseball game and flinch every time a ball is fouled back, even though there is a screen in front of them. Finally, we have found a man who was able to control his urges and sit perfectly still as a batted ball flew in his direction.

Watch the guy in the black shirt above the EI in Budweiser:



Now go back and watch all the people around him, they scatter, but our hero sits still, unflinching in the face of danger.

Adrian Peterson is the Jacksonville Jaguars of Fathers

Adrian Peterson is a hell of a football player. But he's a shitty man. And a worse father.
In case you don't know (Mrs. Poop, Razor, Di10 perhaps), Adrian Peterson is the star running back for the Minnesota Vikings. He's one of the best players in football.
On Thursday his 2-year-old son was severely beaten, allegedly by the mother's new boyfriend. On Friday the child died. On Sunday Adrian Peterson played a football game.
Before during and after the game, writers who wanted to seem nice, praised Peterson for playing through his grief.
Only one problem: Peterson wasn't grieving.
The facts of the matter are likely something like this:
Nearly 3 years ago Peterson fucked a woman he probably never saw before or since.
That encounter led to a baby. It's not clear who, if anyone, knew for certain the baby's paternity. But Adrian Peterson didn't. It wasn't until 3 months ago that he found out the baby was his, that's when the baby's mama finally contacted him (maybe she didn't even know) and told him a paternity test for her boyfriend, the man she was presumably with at the time of her tryst with Peterson, came back negative.
Peterson had three months in which to arrange a visit from Minnesota to South Dakota (neighboring states) to see his child. He didn't. Why? He didn't care.
He didn't even see the baby for the first time until the child was on life support, being kept alive by machines.
That's why he thought nothing about playing in a football game two days after his nominal child died, in a horrible grisly fashion.
Please don't tell me about all the people who played after losing a parent or a sibling, or coaches who coached after grown children were killed. This is a small child, murdered in the most horrific way possible. The least he could have done was honor this child's memory by pretending to care enough about him to take a day off of work.
And I don't want to hear the crap about everyone grieving differently. He wasn't grieving. He has as much emotional connection to this child as you or I.
Any real parent who loves their children can tell you there is no way they would go to work, or play a game, or even leave their bedroom if this happened to their kid.
His callousness towards his own flesh and blood is disgusting enough, I just wish I didn't have to read about how great he is for being that way.

Note: Adrian Peterson has two other kids with two other women. He has a son named Adrian Jr. whom he actually seems to care about.

Weekly Picks

Got off to a pretty good start last week, won my first three games and Denver, my best bet, had a 15-point lead in the second half of their game. And it all went downhill from there. Going with some risky bets this week. We'll see how they pay off.

NEW ENGLAND -1 1/2 new Orleans
I like the Patriots to bounce back here. Horrible game last week, they will recover. And figure out how to stop, or slow the Saints.

indianapolis -1 1/2 SAN DIEGO
I hate picking a team coming off a huge victory but I have a lot of confidence in the Colts and very little in the Chargers.

jacksonville +26 1/2 DENVER
Smart money always comes in late on the big underdogs. Denver is not going to be motivated to keep their best players in the game, and to keep throwing the ball, probably after the 10 minute mark of the third quarter. Even if it's 35-3 at that point, I would expect the Jags to be about to lose this game by 42-17 or something like that. Also, I was in a restaurant last night at some loudmouth at the next table was saying there was no way Denver doesn't win by at least 30. That pushed me over the top on this one.

tennessee +13 SEATTLE
A lot is being made out of Seattle's home-field advantage, something I normally find to be incredibly overrated. 13 points is way too much to be giving to a pretty decent team like the Titans.

BEST BET
HOUSTON -7 1/2 st. Louis
It's always darkest before dawn. This is basically a bet that although Matt Schaub is bad, bordering on horrible, he can't stink this much every week. And if he does, and gets yanked for TJ Yates or whomever, the Texans should still be able to cover this.

Last Week: 3-2 (2 points)

Funniest Francesa Film Since the Fat Fuck Fell Asleep

Have you ever wondered what Mike Francesa's radio show would have been like if it took place in 1776, around the time of the American Revolution.
Well wonder no more.



Mike Zaun (psuedonym) perfectly captures the essence of Francesa here. He's a jerk, who think he's always right, but in fact is frequently wrong. He drinks a lot of Diet Coke, condescends to callers, and cuts them off (even when they are trying to propose to their girlfriends) and repeats people's names over and over again (like Joe DiMaggio).

The NFL is Poop - Week 5

Game of the Week and Maybe the Year
Denver Broncos 51 Dallas Cowboys 48
The Redskins were not playing. The Chargers-Raiders game was postponed. The Cardinals-Panthers game sucked. There was no reason to do anything else but watch the Broncos and the Cowboys. And if you did, you saw a brilliant game. Tony Romo had a ridiculous game, he chucked the ball all over, he scrambled like a maniac and he hit two huge passes for 161 yards between them.
But he wasn't Peyton Manning. It's hard to imagine throwing for 500+ yards and being the second best QB in the game, but Peyton Manning was just masterful. And it wasn't just passing, He ran for a touchdown and no one saw him. Easiest TD in NFL history.
Just watching Manning was a thrill. He hit almost every pass, carving up the Cowboys defense. Nearly every pass was perfect. I actually think the game plan hurt the Broncos though, they ran 31 times at barely 3 yards a carry, and they were passing at 10 yards an attempt. I feel like trying to run on first and or second downs sometimes backed up the Broncos into tough spots on third down. Not that it really mattered.
The 99 points scored in the 4th most in NFL history for a regulation game. And the record for points by a losing team is 49.
What a disappointment for Tony Romo to have not only had a chance to win this amazing game but he only needed 49 more passing yards to breaking the single game record. Instead he threw a bad interception ruining what was already the best game he ever will play.

Quick Quarterback Quips
Last week people were comparing Tom Brady to Peyton Manning because of what he was doing, with so much less help around him. I guess we can stop that now.
Matt Schaub has Steve Blass disease. Is there an NFL quarterback version of that, when a former good guy just stops being able to throw on target? He's the first quarterback to have interceptions returned for touchdowns in 4 straight games.
Cam Newton had two great games to start his career and since then his slide has been precipitous and mystifying. He should be better, but he isn't. And may never be.
I have no idea what the fuck is wrong with Eli Manning except that bad protection is causing some of it. I do believe he will bounce back and be good again, but it may not happen this year.
Even though his team won, something is clearly wrong with Colin Kaepernick. He's take a detour on the road to superstardom. I hope he finds the on-ramp real soon because I loved watching him last year during San Francisco's playoff run.

The Class of the Class of 2012
Robert Griffin III may never be completely healthy again. Brandon Weeden, despite some great throws, lost his job to Brian Hoyer, and since he's already 30 his days as an NFL QB may be limited. Ryan Tannehill may turn out to be pretty good, but a star, I doubt it.
That leaves Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson to represent what was supposed to be the best quarterback class in 30 years. I still have my doubts about Russell Wilson, I don't think he is a great passer, I think he is a very heady quarterback who makes correct decisions at a very high rate. But I also feel playing with a defense and running game this good has helped aid his rapid ascension.
But about Andrew Luck I have no doubts. I really think he is going to be a huge star, and he's going to have games like the one where he shredded an excellent Seattle secondary, quite often. He may also throw up some stinkers every once in a while, but he's going to win Super Bowls.

A Brief Rant About the Redskins
Maybe Tony Romo's arm will be tired.

Game of Next Week
New Orleans Saints at New England Patriots
Even though the two teams could be tied after this game, things are looking a lot bright for NO than NE right now. But I strongly believe that if you switched supporting casts Brady would be slinging it all over, and Brees would be screaming at teammates. Jimmy Graham is so awesome, and every time he leaps over two defenders for a pass, Brady will remember that he used to have not one, but two guys just like that.

Picture of the Week
Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders

If the Super Bowl Were Played Today
Denver Broncos 51 New Orleans Saints 48
Denver's defense looked horrible, especially allowing two huge passes. You can't get away with allowing receivers to get deep behind you in the playoffs? Isn't that right Denver?

I actually hated this guy when I heard his first hit, "Swimming Pools", warmed to him when I heard "Poetic Justice" and now I actually kind of like him.

Weekly Picks

Brutal!

philadelphia +1 NEW YORK GIANTS
The Giants are absolutely brutal right now. I still think they could win a few games if they would just stop turning the ball over, but their offensive line is so bad that they can't run the ball, or give Eli the time to pass effectively.

kansas city -2 1/2 TENNESSEE
I hate picking against teams using their backup quarterbacks because so often those guys play better than we expect, remember Brian Hoyer? But I think Kansas City's success is based on not turning the ball over. So long as Alex Smith can keep the ball the Chiefs should win this game.

CINCINNATI -1/2 new England
This pick makes no sense except that the Bengals played poorly last week, and the Patriots played great in prime time. And teams don't always play the same way every week.

ATLANTA -10 new york jets
I was listening to the baseball playoffs on ESPN Radio NY. They were promoting the Jets game "Geno and the Jets will try to limit the turnovers..." If that's the best your hometown radio station can expect, you don't have much chance.

BEST BET
denver -7 1/2 DALLAS
Maybe I am a little late to jump on the Broncos bandwagon but they are so good, and the Cowboys are so bad, especially on defense. I have no idea how the hell they are going to stop Peyton. And I don't seem Denver just throwing up a random stinker.

Idiots Send Stock Soaring

The hottest stock on the markets today is Tweeter Home Entertainment, a bankrupt chain of consumer electronics stores that trades on the pink sheets under the ticker TWTRQ.
The stock closed yesterday at less than a penny a share, and hit a high around 13 cents this morning.
The pop in the stock is happening because of confusion with Twitter which will trade under the ticker TWTR.
I don't know how anyone could think that a stock could take preliminary steps to file for an IPO on Thursday and be trading on Friday, but at least a few people made that mistake, it seems, and once they did, the stock got attention, maybe from computers, which triggered more buying, which triggered even more buying.
But once the mistake was revealed the stock didn't crater to its previous level, instead it kept trading all day at at least 500% than yesterday's close.

The NFL is Poop - Week 4

Peyton Manning is Unbelievable
Peyton Manning continued his ridiculous season against he Philadelphia Eagles, leading the Broncos to a 52-20 win. Through 4 games he has some ridiculous stats including a 138 passer rating (122.5 is best all-time), 75% completion percentage (the record is 71.2%), while still throwing deep often enough to average 9.4 yards per attempt (which would be top 10 all time). And of course for the simple yet important stars, he has 16 touchdown passes (on pace for 64, the record is 50) and 0 interceptions (that too, would be a new record).
It's hard to imagine, based on how great he was, how injured he was, and how old he is, that Manning could possibly be better than ever, but he is. With games against Dallas and Jacksonville coming up, we should see his record-setting pace continue, though the Broncos may be winning by so much that he will have hand the ball off, or just yield to Brock Osweiler.

Even Eli Can't Save You Now
Eli Manning has been known for his ability to break out of cold spells with incredibly hot, and incredibly well-timed, streaks, two of which resulted in Super Bowl victories for the Giants. But I don't see any way he can turn this season around. The Giants are 0-4 and have been pounded 69-7 in the last two weeks against Carolina and Kansas City. Manning has been sacked 14 times this season, and hurried countless more. If they can't protect him better even Eli can't salvage this season.

A Brief Rant About the Redskins
Amazingly one win can turn around a season. Yes the Redskins still played poorly and had to squeak out a win against the lowly Raiders, but that one victory has completely changed their outlook. The Redskins are out this week but when they return they play Dallas, which could be for the division lead.
The defense has scored 3 touchdowns in the first halves of games this year. The offense has scored only one.
RGIII cannot escape pressure the way he did last year. He is not throwing accurately, and as Ron Jaworski pointed out, he doesn't seem to be stepping into this throws, instead throwing off his back foot, costing him accuracy and velocity.
But Alfred Morris is running well again, and it just might be good enough in a division where the three other teams are just as weak.

Game of the Week
Seattle Seahawks 23 Houston Texans 20
The Texans had this game won, they led 20-6, and then had the ball up 7 with 3 minutes left. On 3rd and 4 Matt Schaub chose to throw a horrible pass, telegraphed, which Richard Sherman not only intercepted but returned all the way for a touchdown. Just a horrible pass, and a horrible play call unless you know for sure your quarterback won't do something that stupid. The Texans still had chances to win this game in overtime but blew those too. A horrible loss and another sign that the Seahawks might be special this year.

Game of Next Week
New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears
There are actually some strong games on the slate this week but I like this one because it seems like the old Drew Brees has returned. He might have a tougher time doing that to the Bears secondary than he did with Miami's. And though it seems strange to say it after so many years of being untrue, the Saints actually have a good defensive line, and the Bears O-line, though not great is improving and probably better than the Dolphins line.

Picture of the Week
A bloody and beaten JJ Watt.

Both these teams are playing above the rim offensively right now, so much so that a basketball score (maybe a college one) is not out of the question if these two teams meet.

"Dirty Laundry" - Kelly Rowland
The rebirth of Kelly Rowland continues with this very personal jam in which she vents about being jealous of Beyonce's success. She also talks about being beaten by an ex and everyone assumes it is former Dallas Cowboys safety Roy Williams. But the internet seems to have dispelled that notion and pointed the finger at a different boyfriend. Either way, in an age when so much music, especially hip-hop, isn't about anything, I enjoy hearing a real, true, painful personal story. It's what soul music is supposed to be.

Angry Biker Gangs Terrorize New York

There's a wild story whipping all of New York into a frenzy, but it's a little complicated so let me explain it as best as I can.

A huge biker gang tried to take over the West Side Highway, slowing down and blocking on ramps, so they could have the entire road to themselves. One car, driven by Alexian Lien got caught in the middle.

One biker, Christopher Cruz, purposely cut off Lien, who bumped into his rear tire. The bikers then surrounded the car, slashed his tires and one biker even opened the driver's side door. When that happened, Lien hit the gas and sped away, running over one of the bikers on the way out of Dodge.

CORRECTION: the first confrontation occurs 30 seconds into this video, when he bumps Cruz, and then runs over Edwin Mieses. You can see the right side tires go up in the air. The second confrontation occurs at about 4 minutes and 30 seconds into it:



The guy who got run over is Edwin Mieses. Both his legs are broken, he's in a medically-induced coma and could be permanently paralyzed.

Instead of helping their friend (maybe a couple did), the majority of the bikers took off after Lien. The finally caught up with him when he had to stop due to the slashed tires, attacked his car, eventually pulled him out and beat the shit out of him in front of his wife and 2-year-old daughter.

They beat the shit out of him pretty good, and slashed his face.

But he doesn't have any serious injuries. He will not be charged with a crime. The biker who started it all, Cruz, has been charged with menacing, reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child.

Remember, his 2-year-old daughter was in the backseat. The same seat where one of these assholes was breaking the window.

This driver, Alexian Lin, did the right thing. He tried to protect his family from an attack. The only thing he should have done differently was run over more of them.
