I guess that's poor form of me, making fun of the Vikings' plight instead of celebrating the two participants in the Super Bowl tomorrow. Anyway, as I've done all season long, (I finished the playoff round 5-5) it's time for me to pick a winner...and this time I'll even predict the score.

First, The Standard Disclaimer: Remember, this pick is for my own, and hopefully your, amusement. I don't have any inside info that you can't access on your own so I beseech, beg and implore you NOT to bet your hard-earned money on these picks if you gamble legally or otherwise. If you do so, and lose your ass, IT'S NOT MY FAULT. You've been warned, sucka.

So...shall we?


INDIANAPOLIS 34, NEW ORLEANS 27.


My heart wants to root for New Orleans, Atlanta's "sibling" expansion team (they entered the league one year after my beloved Birds did) and partner in misery for so many years, always at the mercy of the 49ers and Rams in the NFC West. Although Atlanta and NO are supposed to be "rivals", really, there's no real rivalry, since both teams have been so up and down, mostly down, for the last forty-plus years. So while sometimes Saints head coach Sean Payton is prone to the punk-ass play call, I sincerely hope the Saints can represent the NFC South with pride and win the game.

That said, my head tells me that this is the defining moment for Peyton Manning to establish once and for all if he's going to be remembered as a very good quarterback, or one of the all-time greats. He's always seemed to come up big when push comes to shove, and I just can't see him being off his game here. I think Pey-Pey will be the difference-maker, as he was apparently born to be, and the Colts are going to win this game.


And that will do it for another NFL season! For the three or four of you that have been following these posts, thanks. For those who still subscribe to this LJ on your friends feed but can't care less about American football, I apologize since this has been practically the only thing I've put up here since August.

So...if you choose to watch it, party with it on, or just watch the commercials...have a great Super Bowl Sunday!

OK, here are my FEARLESS NFL PICKS for this weekend, the third round of the playoffs. I wilI attempt to pick the winner, straight up, of each NFL playoff contest tomorrow. I was slightly less putrid last weekend, going 2-2, which makes me 3-5, which means I'll have to run the table to finish with a winning record. Bah. Anyway:

Not a minute too soon, here are my FEARLESS NFL PICKS for this weekend, the second round of the playoffs. Undeterred by my massive suckage last weekend, in which I blew to the tune of 1-3, I wilI attempt to pick the winner, straight up, of each NFL contest in the upcoming weekend. And this is the hardest week yet- a case can be made for any of these teams to advance.

Since I haven't posted any art since September, here's a twofer.




Godzilla and Harley Quinn! They hang out a lot together, you know.

Actually, these were suggested to me on Twitter. I'm no Bissette, Adams, or Timm, that much is clear.

Here we go again with my Fearless NFL Predictions, in which I attempt to pick the winner, straight up, of each NFL contest in the upcoming weekend. Or weekday, as the case may be.

Last week, I rebounded to the tune of 12-4, enabling me to finish the regular season at 172-82. Now, it's playoff time, and hey, I'm gonna pick them too!

Last week, counting the Thursday night (12/17) and Saturday night (12/19) games, I was an atrocious 7-9, my first sub-.500 week of the season- making me 151-71 on the season after 15 weeks. Hopefully I can turn it around this weekend, but I'm not off to a good start after my inexplicable pick against the Chargers last Saturday night. Anyway:

I'm getting worse and worse about remembering these annoying weekday games. Anyway, tonight:

TENNESSEE over San Diego.

As I type this, San Diego leads by a score of 14-3. My mojo has fled, it seems. Anyway, the rest by Sunday morning. Cheers.

Oh. Merry Christmas to you.

Another week, another Thursday game I wont see because my cable provider doesn't provide the NFL Network. Oh well.

INDIANAPOLIS over Jacksonville. J-ville has a lot to play for, though, so this will be close, I do believe.

ETA 12/19/09: Oops, the NFL Network screwed me twice this week. I totally forgot about the New Orleans-Dallas game being on Saturday night. I my picks leagues, I took

NEW ORLEANS over Dallas.

And that didn't turn out so well. The rest tomorrow morning.

NFL game tonight, on the gosh-damned NFL Network so I can't watch it. But I can predict it!

NY JETS over Buffalo.

As always, don't bet using my picks, or don't blame me if you lose your house payment (or house) because I made this pick.

The rest before Sunday at noon.



And I will post something besides football picks here eventually. One of these days.

Tomorrow's Turkey Day, and just like it oughtta should, there will be footsballs. I shall now proceed to predict the winners of those very games right here and right now.


GREEN BAY over Detroit. If you're betting, take the Lions and the points.
DALLAS over Oakland. Ditto. Take the Raiders and the points, that is.
NY GIANTS over Denver.


As usual, don't bet your hard earned money on these picks (even though I suggested it above), 'cause I generally don't know shit.

Back with the other games Saturday or Sunday. Have a good Thanksgiving, everyone, if you're thataway inclined.
