I'm coming off the worst week of the year at 7-6. For the year I am 79-37. I'm 3 games behind Tom Jackson. ESPN Experts picks and records here and here.
This is the last bye-week of the season. Congrats to the Rams for getting a victory. We're now down to Tampa Bay as the only win-less team. Seems like they might have accomplished the feat before, although not a 16 gamer.
Atlanta.
Chicago.
Baltimore.
Indianapolis.
New England.
Green Bay.
Jacksonville.
New Orleans.
Seattle.
San Francisco.
Giants.
Philadelphia.
Pittsburgh- Monday Night.

Monday And Tuesday Reading
James.
After watching the Green Bay-Minnesota game Sunday, I think the Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy really loused that game up for them. I do think Minnesota is the better team, but Green Bay could have won that game if not for some questionable decisions by the coach in the 4th quarter. Oh well. The Bears have their own problems.

NFL Week 8 Picks
Last week I was 11-2. For the year I am 72-31. I'm now only two games out of first place, which is Schefter and Jackson, and now tied with Mort. ESPN Experts picks and records here and here.
I think St. Louis has a real chance at 0-16. I looked at the rest of their schedule, and today's game at Detroit is by far their best chance of victory. If they eke out a loss today, then the game at Tennessee may be their last chance. Could NFL winlessness happen two years in a row? I'm thinking it's 50-50 right now. At any rate, for the first time in a couple years I'm taking Detroit.
Obviously the big game this weekend is the Packers-Vikings match up. I'm betting Favre won't be well received. I look for Aaron Rodgers to have a big game.
For all the negativity coming out of Buffalo, I'm surprised to see them 3-4. You'd think they were 1-6 or something. Even though they're only 1-2 at home this year, I do think they'll win today. I'm going out on a limb here, I hope it doesn't break off too early in the day.
Almost forgot. The Bears look hapless. So much for the playoffs this year.

Hebrews 7-13.
Is it too soon to declare I don't like the 'game' "Too Soon?" on PTI? I would find it hard to believe Reali likes doing this segment.

NFL Week 7 Picks
I was not happy to be 8-6 last week but least I haven't had a losing week yet. I'm now 61-29 on the year.
I'm in the middle of the pack again, but only 3 games behind first place Mort, Carter and Jackson. ESPN Experts here and here.
Here are some props for the Denver unis. I have grown fond of them. I doubt we'll see them again this year, though. I like the road better than the home, there's less mustard.
There's a lot of good games today, unlike last weekend which had some real duds. This week I came really close to picking the Raiders, Falcons and Chiefs, but ultimately denied them. I hope I don't regret it.
Green Bay.
San Diego.
Indianapolis.
Pittsburgh.

Jets.
Dallas.
Cincinnati.

Giants.
Philadelphia- Monday.

Once Upon A Time
The Cardinals were managed by someone other than Tony LaRussa. It's been a long time. But his contract was done when the season ended.
Although this year's strategy proved very successful, certain things were ultimately left unfinished.
That must be what is driving this report. He doesn't want to leave the war he started in Spring Training.
Looks like the long time is going to be longer. Ultimately this is good news. Stability is a key organizational trait.

I'm Not Sure Which Is Scarier
Remember this?
Well this video may not be scarier, but look how close that plane comes to the car. How could you be driving that car and just keep on coming like there is nothing at all going on around you?
At first I thought it was a doctored video, but then I saw dozens of others just like it on YouTube.
Hat tip Colin Cowherd.

NFL Week 6 Picks
I was happy to be 9-5 last week. A couple of games I could have won and a couple I could have lost, so I think it worked out well. I'm now 53-23 on the year. ESPN Experts here and here.
I love the AFL throwback uniform games so much, I wish they would continue this every year from this point forward.
I think the NFL has done a good job over the years trying to erase the memory of that league, trying to act like it never existed. As if those teams always have been a part of the NFL.
Now that is has been 50 years, I guess they decided it was okay to acknowledge it. The throwback games are great in this way. Even the refs look cool in their AFL duds.
SI has a nice pictorial of the teams in their old threads. I don't think one could argue that their modern designs are an improvement. Well, except maybe the Chiefs, whose uniforms are essentially unchanged and whose helmet design has improved, and the Broncos, what with the mustard yellow and all.
Don't miss Monday night's matchup for some good ol' AFL times. Oh, and it should be a good game as well.
Cincinnati.
Green Bay.
Minnesota.
Giants.
Pittsburgh.
Carolina.
Washington.
Jacksonville.
Arizona.
Philadelphia.
New England.
Jets.
Atlanta.
San Diego- Monday.

Wednesday Reading
Galatians 4-6.
I was shocked at the outcome of last night's season finale of Hell's Kitchen. I had Kevin as the favorite all along. I didn't think Dave had a chance with his arm casted, but the one-armed bandit prevailed.

Galatians 1-3.
A week into the playoffs, and there is no one left to root for. I'll probably watch briefly here and there from this point on, but baseball is pretty well dead until February.

Friday Reading
2 Corinthians 5-6.
Oh well. Everyone knows if you're going to follow baseball, you're going to have to take the bad with the good. It's just the way it is. Almost all years end in disappointment. So even if this team doesn't come back, it's still been a fun year to follow.

Thursday Reading
2 Corinthians 3-4.
I would say something like, "don't worry Cardinals fans, it's just a flesh wound", but the good folks at Viva El Birdos already beat me to it.
Did I hear somewhere that Smoltz can close games?

As Col. Brubaker Once Said...
As long-time readers already know, one of my favorite films is Capricorn One.
After the plane runs out of gas and they ditch it in the desert, the three astronauts decide to split up.
As they step out of the plane, before they go their separate ways, we could have gotten a Knute Rockne speech from the leader of the trio, Col. Brubaker. But realizing the gravity of the situation, when he's done handing out weapons, he instead utters the immortal words, "there's not a lot of time and there's too much to say...so let's go"
That's how I feel tonight. I'd like to give an in-depth analysis of why the Cardinals won't win or why they can't lose. But the game is starting soon.
GO CARDS!
