Ligers, Unicorns & Other Mythical Matchups

Knock, Knock, Knockin' On Heaven's Door!!
(Thanks Axel)

Happy Friday everyone and get ready for a serious amount of top notch NFL action.  By this time you have probably figured out that the NFL playoffs are in full swing and there are all types of pools going on.  Boxes like the Super Bowl pools, eliminator pools with the spread and all types of variations in between.  So if you have the chance to pick your own teams this weekend, how do you make your decision?  There are all kinds of analytics being done…numbers being crunched, life savings being squandered this weekend…I have the fix for all of that…just like the NCAA Mens Basketball tournament, I like to pick my teams based on who would win if the battle was in real life - 

Despite the spread giving 7 points to the Baltimore Ravens you kinda have to think that a New England Patriot (with a gun) beats out a bird.  While the raven is a formidable bird and the guns used by the American Revolutionaries were primitive there really isn't much to discuss here…Pats win by 10 (especially in New England)

The late game on Saturday is the Carolina Panthers (-11 SEA) playing away from the den (I assume that's where panthers live) in Seattle against the Seattle Seahawks.  This is one of those weird ones where it is really, really hard to compare.  Both are pretty solid predators in their own right, but one flies and one doesn't.  I am not sure if panthers are capable of flight but I think that for the most part flying in this case will come in very handy.  I say Seattle wins but doesn't cover the spread in this long drawn out battle of beast versus bird.  That seahawk looks pissed...

Stay tuned for Sunday's matchups which get kinda funky in that it's two dudes fighting at 1PM and two horses at 4PM.

Enjoy your Friday & Saturday, eat chips!

HAPPY WATCHING!!!

Football is HERE!!! Let's All Rejoice!!

I LOVE IT!!!

It's Thursday night and the feeling's right!  Right for football season 2014 to begin!  In Seattle tonight, the Green Bay Packers make the trip to Seattle in what very well could end up being an NFC playoff match up come winter.  Aaron Rodgers returns from last year's injury shortened season with a solid array of options to put up big numbers (good for fantasy owners).  Russell Wilson kicks of the season tonight with a brand new, big ol' fatty of a Super Bowl on his ring finger from that blow out win this past February.  Riding high with a stout defense, a running back who's known for BEAST MODE and the loudest home crowd in the NFL the Seahawks look like the odds on favorites to get back to the Super Bowl.

Wes Welker Caught in the Club!!! (SORTA)

Yesterday news hit the wire that Wes Welker (starting wide receiver for the Denver Broncos) tested positive for amphetamines which are banned by the Goodell Mafia.  Welker denied every knowingly taking anything from the banned substances list.  Then later that morning some "unnamed source" that works in, for or around the NFL claimed that they also found other compounds in the sample which lead them to believe he was taking Moly or some form of Ecstasy.  They pinpointed this event to be around the time of the Kentucky Derby this past May.  How they do that, I don't know.  Science probably, maybe it's bull…who knows.  Welker replied with stating that maybe someone put something in his drink while partying at the Kentucky Derby.  This is completely possible, it does happen…in clubs when you put your drink on the bar to pick up your glow sticks that slipped out of your hands and rolled under the velvet sofa you were sitting/laying on.  Welker will be back for week 6.

US Basketball Looking For - (Pictured above are Ukrainian women in the Army)

Today we (the United States) played Ukraine in basketball.  We have now played Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Ukraine in the past week or so…Shouldn't we play some of the other bigger/better teams.  At this point we have played 2 Caribbean teams the size of Connecticut and 1 team who's country is at war with one of the world's super powers…they might be distracted.

It's football day today but this tackle is legit!!
