Someone really needs to send DeAngelo Hall a memo to STFU. In response to Sunday's loss to the Texans in OT( the Redskins were up 10 pts in the 4th quarter), Hall had this to say about Texans WR Andre Johnson:

"This is my first time going against him in the league. I gave him a lot of props during the game. During the game, he didn't scare me. He didn't do anything that looked spectacular. He didn't do anything to make me feel like he was the best.

"Maybe the numbers indicate he is, but I didn't feel that way when I lined up against him. He caught a lot of balls in zone and was just kind of running wide open in zones, not really man-to-man.

"We were hitting Schaub. We had him rattled. I felt like we were dominating those guys, hitting Schaub whenever we wanted to. He was falling down, you know, without anybody even around him, like Peyton Manning does a lot."

Oh really?!

Hall had a whole lot to say, especially about an offense that put up 526 yards against his defense. But let's be clear, Andre Johnson is a beast. One of the best WRs in the league right now, but not talked about often, mainly because he doesn't run his mouth like others in his position. Your defense coordinator played zone defense for a reason. Had your DC played tons of man coverage, you better believe Johnson would've had more than 158 yards. So playing zone was the best option from being exposed to the player you are..... In the words of Warren Sapp, "What I Miss???"

I love the way Johnson responds. When told about Hall's comments, Johnson had this to say,

"I mean, those are his thoughts. The scheme that they ran, if he wanted to play me man-to-man, he should have told his coaches before the game. That's not my problem. For them to be running zone coverages like that with the safety over the top, and for me to still have 12 catches for 158 yards, somebody wasn't doing their job."

*snicker*

Note to DeAngelo Hall: Anytime a guy can catch 158 yards in a game, and grab the game-tying TD pass, he's as advertised. Give Johnson his props, he's damn good at what he does. Talking like this makes you sound foolish!

Go sitcho azz down somewhere!

Last night on Twitter, I saw Steelers S Ryan Clark asking (*cough*begging*cough*) for more followers. It seems as though Mr. Clark was looking for 10,000 followers for his page. (He should have asked his long haired teammate, Troy Polamalu. He rarely tweets, yet has 33K followers).

Clark started out his by having a simple incentive to following him:



What I found funny is that Clark followed up his tweet by giving reason why he may not be as successful as some on the social networking website:


WHOA!!!!!

Of course, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, Clark is possibly referring to the oh so boisterous, Chad Ocho Cinco of the Cincinnati Bengals, who is Twitter royalty and just finished showing his reality show, "The Ultimate Catch" on VH1. This actually may have had more steam, had Clark had more followers (at the current moment he has 12,602 followers, while Ocho Cinco's page has 1,293,946 followers).

At least Clark surpassed his 10K mark like he asked.... I was uninterested in following him (The Ravens fan in me makes me petty like that), until I saw this tweet:


Hopefully this applies to Steelers AND Ravens fans alike! *Hits follow button*

Yesterday, Eagles head coach Andy Reid held a press conference, saying that QB Michael Vick will continue to be the Eagles starter, until further notice. I was elated to hear the news. Vick has waited a long time for a second chance at football, and this is now his time to shine. Vick also is a free agent after the season, so even if the Eagles decide not to keep him, his starting opportunity can be footage for the next team up, looking for a veteran QB.

But, as I saw the headline on the cover of the Philadelphia Daily News, I was highly disappointed in the selection of words:



Come on, now...................

How distasteful using such a poor choice of words. I can never understand how people cannot allow a person to serve his time and move on to start a new chapter in life. This cover is tasteless, period. Then again, this is the same city that booed Donovan McNabb, threw snowballs at Santa Claus and had a jail under their old stadium for disorderly fans.

I'm rooting for you as a QB Vick... and as a person. Good luck!

Last night's game between the Saints and 49ers was a great MNF game (Baltimore/NY Jets, are you reading this?!). That's what fans expect for a MNF game. Excitement, nail biting and good football. But last's night's game didn't come without injury. Saints RB Reggie Bush is expected to be out at least 6 weeks with a fractured fibula in his right leg.

MRI tests will be done today to confirm the injury. Keep ya head up, Reggie!

-Even being 0-2, I still expect the 49ers to win the division. Alex Smith grew up last night, something we expected to see from him 5 years ago, coming out of the draft. I guess it's better late then never. I added Smith in my Top 20 QB list for 2010, so he better not make a fool out of me!

-Braylon Edwards was arrested for a DWI charge last night. According to the NY Post, here's the skinny:

Denver Broncos WR Kenny McKinley was found dead, yesterday afternoon, by a female friend who found him after taking his child with her to run errands. Police believe the McKinley suffered from a self inflicted gunshot wound, thus ending his own life.

The irony of such a tragic event, is McKinley passed away the same day that Broncos CB Champs Bailey, former Broncos S John Lynch and other players attended a fundraiser that honored former CB Darrent Williams, who was killed New Years Day, back in 2007.

In addition to the deaths of McKinley and Williams, the Broncos have also dealt with the death of RB Damien Nash, who collapsed and died at a charity basketball game back in April, 2007... Three months after the Williams murder.

Prayers go to the family of McKinley as well as the Broncos organization. Dealing with suicide is never easy, especially when you think there is something you may have done to save someone's life. And for the players who've been there to see all 3 tragedies, this can't be easy for them to deal with.

Last week, the Most Hated Athletes list was released and the Top 5 of the list was as follows:

So, as I was on my way to BWI Airport to to windmill Flacco for his horrible ass play, I ran across this video on Black Sports Online, courtesy of WNST, from Ravens LB Ray Lewis about yesterday's game:


Now, by any means did the Ravens lose because of the penalties. But I agree with Lewis 100%. There were 2 BAD calls that accredited to 6 points the Bengals received because of it. The tripping call on Lewis was bull, because he was blocked to the ground and he was trying to get up. The Suggs call was bull hockey, particularly because Palmer had the ball still in his hand as Suggs was taking him to the ground.

More and more, the NFL is becoming too technical and too Charmin-esque when it comes to the way they protect their QBs. We get it- the league is a QB-driven league. But by any means, let these guys play!

But let's not get ahead of ourselves Ray, Joe Flacco is why you lost, my friend. 4 INTs cannot happen for a team w Super Bowl aspirations.

P.S.- If I see Flacco anywhere around town this week, I'm still gonna windmill him.

Dear Arizona Cardinals- Call Kurt Warner and offer him $100 million NOW! Maybe he'll reconsider. Without him you suck!

Did anyone see the Cowboys going 0-2?? Did anyone see Jay Cutler throwing ZERO INTs in a game??? What is the NFL world coming to?


Last April after Jason Campbell was traded to the Raiders, I suggested that Bruce Gradkowski should at least be able to compete for the starting job. I was told how dumb that was and how Campbell is better.. blah, blah, wonk wonk... but after yesterday's game, Tom Cable got my memo and finally got it right. He benched Campbell, put in Gradkowski and he helped lead the Raiders to a victory over the Rams. In the words of Shaquille O'Neal, "Tell me how my ass tastes".

Dear Mark Sanchez: Thanks for showing up at the party this week!

Dear Darrelle Revis: We saw you grab your hamstring after that Moss 1-hand TD. All I have to say is,


THAT'S the San Diego Chargers squad I know!

Aaron Rodgers, you are doing the damn thing, but your Lambeau Leap SUCKS! Work on that, mmmmmkay?!

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 2-0?????


The Texans-Redskins game is reason number 1, why I love the game of football. Just when you think you can count someone out, they find ways to come back and win games. That game was by far the best game of the week. And it paralleled last year's Saints-Redskins game. Down 10 points in the 4th Qtr, Matt Schaub hit Andre Johnson with the tying TD with 2 minutes left in the game. A blocked FG that would have given Washington a nice cushion was the leading factor into the game going into OT. I thought the Texans would lose for SURE after Gary Kubiak decided to punt opposed to kicking a 52-yard FG to try and win the game. But the Texans were given new life after Graham Gano missed his 52-yarder.

That game was exciting, full of offense and nail biting. This is why I love football.

PS- Is it crazy that I am (quietly) rooting for the Texans, week after week?!


Giants looked bad, real bad, Michael Jackson

Vince Young gets benched- again! Hey look, the sky is blue!

Michael Vick is balling.... and not looking back. And if Andy Reid brings in Kevin Kolb next week, he might have to say goodbye to his head coaching job. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Maybe Favre should've stayed retired after all.................................

So I found this video on Yahoo Sports and thought it was pretty interesting and cool. A video in quadruple speed, showing how the stadium transforms from Giants stadium on Sunday afternoon to Jets stadium, ready for Monday Night Football.

New Meadowlands Stadium Change Over Time-Lapse from Ken Friberg and Daniel Life on Vimeo.

So..... I didn't do too well last week, with Week 1 of my picks. What had happened was....................... I over analyze everything. And even though I had a few close ones (like Calvin Johnson getting ROBBED and the Lions losing as a result), almost never counts. Hopefully this will be a better week for your girl. But I can't make any promises. The season is still early so the unexpected victories will be in play. Anyway, here's my Week 2 NFL picks. Wish me luck!

Pittsburgh @ Tennessee (-5) - Vince Young >>> Dennis Dixon, at this point. I like the Titans, but let's not kid ourselves w the point spread. It's still the Steelers, who has a great defense.
Winner: by 3

Miami @ Minnesota (-5.5) -Old man Favre gets some much needed rest and lights up Minnesota up. Miami doesn't impress me at this point.
Winner:


Arizona @ Atlanta (-6.5)- Atlanta gets it right this week.
Winner:

Kansas City @ Cleveland (-2) - I'm gonna jump on the SEC of the NFL, AKA the KC Chiefs. They have a good running game, decent defense and possibly the next Dante Hall of special teams in Dexter McCluster. Sorry Cleveland, I don't believe you, you need more people
Winner:

Baltimore(-2.5) @ Cincinnati- This is a hard pick for me. The Bengals always gives the Ravens matchup problems. Add Terrell Owens to the mix and it may be a long day for my boys on defense. I also can't see Cincy going 0-2. I think it'll be close, but no cigars for my Ravens :(
Winner:

Chicago @ Dallas (-7.5) - I'm not a believer in the Bears, as long as Cutler is there. They almost let a Lions team beat 'em, so do you REALLY think i am picking them to beat the Cowboys?! PSSSSSHHHHH!!
Winner:

Philadelphia (-6) @ Detroit- Mike Vick shows his ass this weekend. I want to pick Detroit, because I want them to not suck anymore. But Matt Stafford being out doesn't help much.
Winner:

Buffalo @ Green Bay (-13)- Bufflao will let CJ Spiller loose. But it won't be enough because the Packers are THAT good.
Winner:

Tampa Bay @ Carolina (-3.5) - Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Wake me when this one is over.
Winner:

Seattle @ Denver (-3.5) - Okay, so Pete Carroll got his 1st NFL since returning to the league. Now he'll get his first loss this Sunday.
Winner:

St. Louis @ Oakland (-3.5) - Oakland, this is your last chance to prove me right, dammitz! I said you were on a major rise this season. But so far you suck major ass. If you lose this weekend I won't be picking you anymore this season. And you know I'm petty, so I mean it
Winner:

Houston (-3) @ Washington- The Redskins didn't have 1 offensive TD last week. The Texans, however, scored 34 points last week. I'm not saying Houston will have a field day against the Redskins. But I am saying Hall and Rogers are about to learn just who Andre Johnson is.
Winner:

New England (-3) @ NY Jets- The way the Pats played last week, they look like they are on a mission. The way the Jets offense looked last week, they look like they are scurrred (not scared, but scurrred). I'm picking the quiet, confident group. Not the loud, obnoxious one.
Winner:

Jacksonville @ San Diego (-7) - My boo and Co. will right the ship this week. But I still expect the Jaguars to try and spoil the party. It's a shame no one will be able to see it locally, because the game will probably be blacked out.
Winner:

NY Giants @ Indianapolis (-5) - AKA, The Manning Bowl. Eli vs. Peyton... Big Head vs Jug Head. This should be a good one, just like the last time these two rock head brothers met. I expect a good game, but with the same results as last time. Big Bro Manning wins again.... in a good game.
Winner:

MNF: New Orleans (-5.5) @ San Francisco- San Fran looked AWFUL last week. Playing against the world champs on Monday Night might not be the ego booster they need. Basically, I ain't picking 'em!
Winner:

Earlier this week, I read an article about Tom Brady's thoughts regarding Patriots fans leaving the home opener against the Bengals, a bit too early. Brady admitted that he wasn't too happy about fans rolling out before the clock said 0:00 and even indicated that Jets fans probably don't hit the road before their team is done playing.

With Brady's comments(comments I agree with), I started to think about Fairweather fans. For the record, I'm not saying the Patriots have them, but if you're a Pats fan and was offended by my segue, then maybe the shoe fits more than you thought. Anyway, I wanted to know what teams did folks think were a "Fairweather Fan" team, a team that has support (or maybe not) when they are doing good, but they disappear into thin air when they do bad.

So I took the question to my Twitter and Facebook pages. I wanted to get an idea of what the general public thought about this. I calculated the Top 3 teams that were mentioned the most. Here's what I got based on my social networking survey:


#3

When asked why people mentioned the Bengals, I had one tweeter say the following:



The Bengals are a hard team to follow. They haven't been the most consistent team in terms of winning. And even though they won the AFC North last year, fans still haven't gone out and bought season tickets. One can blame it on the bad economy, but ticket sale problems were long before America faced such issues. As for the tweeter, maybe there is some truth to that. Neither the Bengals nor Browns have won a playoff game since the Browns came back to Cleveland in 1999. No excuses, but I understand.

#2 /

I found it ironic that I had an equal amount of folks say both the Jags and the Panthers. Especially since both teams became expansion teams in the same year, 1995. This is probably the one that's a head scratcher. The Jags have been pretty competitive and have even won playoff games. The Jags beat the Steelers at home, twice in one season in 2007, something that had never been done before they did it. The Panthers have been to the Super Bowl and was very close in beating the Patriots, a team that many consider a dynasty. But when asked about the reasoning behind the vote, one tweeter summed it up for both teams:



I disagreed with this initially, simply because the Ravens aren't 20 yrs old yet they have always had the backing of their fans at home. But I had to remember that Baltimore was and still is a football city, even when the Colts left town. These 2 cities, not so much. Jacksonville is Gator Country and Carolina fans already had teams they rooted for and have yet to fully converted. After further review, maybe she has a point after all.


#1

I received the most votes for the Falcons.... and it wasn't even close. The reasoning was pretty much the same amongst many: Atlanta is a transplant city, full of non-natives. So people already have a team prior to moving there. Even with the Braves and Hawks in town, it's pretty common to know that it's not just the Falcons, but all Atlanta teams struggle with the Fairweather syndrome. One person's response made me giggle a little:

>

Another person thinks it's more about fans liking a player and not the team that they play for:


The public has spoken. Falcon fans are as fairweather as they come. Not a good look when you have other cities that would rob and steal for an NFL team. The thing about it is, the Falcons have a pretty decent squad right now (on paper, at least). Time to get out and support them, people!


Honorable Mentions:

Many folks believes the city of Miami belongs to "The U", the University of Miami. So the loyalty to their NFL isn't strong.

Most people believe that before Brady, no one cared about the Pats. Need I remind folks that Drew Bledsoe was the QB before Brady and led his team to a SB, but I digress. It's also noted that Boston is Red Sox crazy, so there is No Country For Pats Football in Beantown.

Thanks to all that participated in my survey.

The NFL has finally admitted to being impacted by a struggling economy. NFL attendance has been down, while the TV ratings are up 20% from a year ago. The NFL blames the emergence of HDTV as a reason why people are choosing to watch the game from the comfort of their own home, opposed to attending the games.


Yeah......... okay.

As a frequent game attender, I can tell you that's from from the truth. Ticket prices are sky high. A family of 4 going to a football game is about an average of $360 just for tickets. Add the high concession at the stadium, and we're talking about a possible $500 day, just to see your favorite team play live. In an economy where unemployment is still a big concern, one can't possibly think of going to an NFL as a viable option.

If the NFL wants to avoid this alarming trend, they must lower the tickets prices... at least for now. Allow discount packages to those who are PSL and/or season ticket holders, before releasing their tickets to the public. And for crying out loud, reduce preseason games to 50% and give half of the tickets to community little leagues. As much as I love going to football games, I refuse to spend a % of my salary just for the atmosphere. I could easily enjoy the game in the comfort of my own home.

The fans should be the top priority. Get with the times, the country is struggling. The NFL is a smart business, hopefully they will get it right.

I know... It's Wednesday and I am JUST getting to what happened 3 days ago. My deepest apologies. I was on the new chapter of the Gridiron Gals Tour this past weekend. On Sunday night, Pigskin Loving Lady and I went to DC to see the Redskins beat the Cowboys in the last minute thriller. Then we headed up 95 North to see my Ravens get a win over the NY Jets. If you were me, you'd be updating your blog 3 days late, too.

Calvin Johnson was ROBBED!

Raiders, Bengals, 49ers and Chargers.... SMH at you!

There is nothing wrong with being confident about your team. But having your mouth write checks that your offense can't cash isn't a good look. If you need to ask, YES, I'm talking to Rex Ryan.

Two words: Ray...effing..... Lewis! Okay, that's 3 words but you get my point!!



This just in: Mike Vick still got it!

Jason Garrett= Brian Billick

Run Alex Barron... RUN!!!

Redskins fans, it's Wednesday. Enough with the, "We beat the Cowboys" talk. You have a MUCH bigger problem coming to town when you play Houston on Sunday.

Did I say Calvin Johnson Got robbed?!

Philip Rivers.. simma down boo! I know you're passionate when it comes to your craft, but you gotta take it easy... You don't make the hottest faces when you're mad, you know?! LuvUHere!

T.O.- You're a diva. The End!

It's the most... wonderful TIIIIIME of the year!!!!!!!! Yes, ladies and gents. Football season is officially BACK! While last night's game wasn't as action packed (translation: high scoring) as we thought it would be, but it was entertaining football. So of course with football comes the wonderful vlog done by the Gridiron Gals, myself alongside Pigskin Loving Lady. We try not to disappoint.. but for whatever reason.. the wonderful vlog we did for you guys and gals is taking it's sweet time being available. As soon as we get it ready, I'll have it up.

EDIT: The video is ready!!! Clearly we did this before I looked at the spread, or else I would have not said NE was an "upset pick".





In the meantime, here are are my picks for Week 1 of the NFL season:

Carolina @ NY Giants (-6.5) - I'm with the spread on this. I'm picking the G-Men and I dunno if it will even be close. I don't trust Carolina's QB situation right now. Ahmad Bradshaw should have a great game.

Miami (-3) @ Buffalo- I'm gonna go against the grain and pick Buffalo. I dunno why, maybe because Week 1 in the NFL is a No Guarantee type of deal. Or maybe it's because my sis Pigskin Loving Lady is a Bills fan and I feel sorry for her. They won't get many wins this year, so you gotta get in where you fit in. Week 1 is when you do it.

Atlanta (-2) @ Pittsburgh- I'm picking the Steelers at home. I don't care who's the QB, I find it hard to digest that the Steelers will lose their home opener (although the Ravens fan in me encourages this to happen, I don't see it going down).

Detroit @ Chicago (-6.5)- I'm gonna go against the spread. I'm picking the Lions, dammit! Why not?! I think they will be much better than we expect. Why not start the turnaround season in the Chi! Sorry Bears fans.

Cincinnati @ New England (-4.5)- Although Cincy has every reason to win this game (good defense, many upgrades on offense), I'm going go with the spread and pick New England. I can't see Belichick and Co. lose at home, especially since Tom Brady has all of that money now. *cues Deion Sanders "Must Be The Money"*

Cleveland @ Tampa Bay (-3)- I'm picking Cleveland simply because Josh Freeman isn't 100% with that thumb., That may cause a problem for the offense to score points. It sucks that Tampa fans won't get a chance to see the game, because games like this always end up being great entertainment, even if the teams don't pop out at you (remember the Browns-Lions game last year?).

Denver @ Jacksonville (-2.5)- Let the Maurice Jones-Drew Show begin! Jags

Indianapolis (2.5) @ Houston- Dear Houston: I like you.. I like you a lot. I even picked you to be a Wild Card this season. But I cannot tell a lie; as much as I would like to choose you for this game, I cannot. Peyton Manning and Bob Sanders scare me. Please don't be mad, I'm picking the Colts. Signed, A Punk Picker

Oakland @ Tennessee(-6.5) - This is a new era for the Raiders, and I expect them to be a pain in the AFC ass this year. I'm picking the black and silver to upset the Titans at home.

Green Bay (-3) @ Philadelphia- The point spread is too low. Not only do I expect the Pack win, but I expect them to win by at LEAST a TD. Sorry Philly, I don't trust Kolb yet. I DO trust Aaron Rodgers, though.

San Francisco (-3) @ Seattle- Yeah, the Seahawks kinda suck. San Fran will get the job done easily...

Arizona (-4) @ St. Louis- Dare I pick the Rams?? I am!! I'm picking the Rams, dammit! Arizona lost their luster the minute Kurt Warner retired. Not that I think they will be a bad team altogether, but Week 1 games are never easy to pick. I'm picking the Rams.

Dallas (-3.5) @ Washington- This will be one of the better games of the weekend, and the Gridiron Gals will be in the building Sunday night at FedEx Field!!! I want to pick Washington because I see the potential with them (I chose them for a Wild Card spot in the season's playoffs). But with McNabb not 100% and Haynesworth still being a fat, lazy rich dude, I don't how much I can trust the Redskins. Dallas is a little more healthy and prepared. I'm picking Dallas in a tough one.


Baltimore @ NY Jets (-2)- This is the game of the week, in my opinion. Anytime you have Ray Lewis sound off like the Ray Lewis of 2000, then you KNOW this game will be intense. I know why everyone loves the Jets. But I don't like the way Sanchez played in the preseason. Yes, I KNOW it's just practice, but practice makes perfect. He was anything BUT. While Darrelle Revis being back is a HUGE sigh of relief, he can't cover everyone the Ravens have on offense. I'm taking the Ravens in a low scoring, close game (did I mention I will be at this game as well?! Life is damn good!)

San Diego (-4.5) @ Kansas City- Does anyone care about this game?! Well, I do, because my BOO Philip Rivers is playing. I agree with the line, I think this game will be close. No Vincent Jackson and no Marcus McNeill means trouble in Charger Land. I think they win, because they have the upper hand over the Chiefs. But don't be shocked if it comes down to the final minute to do so.

Okay, this is where the fun begins. I've did my own rendition of picking the AFC and the NFC for the upcoming season.. and of course, folks want to know who my Super Bowl picks will be. Although I'm not the best at picking divisions, I've been pretty decent in picking my potential SB picks (I chose San Diego and New Orleans last year, so I was half right LOL).

So without further ado... DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUN!!! Here are my 2010 Playoff Scenario picks:

AFC Wild Card Weekend


Texans @ Jets- The Texans are my dark horse pick this year, beating out New England for a playoff spot by strength of schedule. They finally get in the dance! But I don't forsee them advancing. This Jets D is ferocious and the Texans are more of a pass happy team, not as balanced. Sexy Rexy gets the win this time.

Winner:

Baltimore @ San Diego- The Chargers will get in, but they will really miss Vincent Jackson come playoff time. The Chargers D won't be enough to stop all of the weapons the Ravens have on offense. The Ravens win easy, simply because their D won't be able to handle it.

Winner:

(sorry boo boo, I love you but my squad will prevail)


Divisional Playoffs
Baltimore @ Indianapolis - The Colts are Ravens Killers. They know how to beat them better than any other team in the league. This is the year the Ravens get the monkey off their back.

Winner:

Jets @ Bengals- In a rematch of the 2009 Wild Card game, I don't forsee the same result. This is where the buck stops for Rex and company. It all comes down to the QB play. If Palmer stays healthy, the sky is the limit for this team. I still don't trust Sanchez enough, despite the weapons he has. The think Cincy pulls it out

Winner:


AFC Championship

Baltimore @ Cincinnati- Yes, I'm picking an AFC North AFC Championship. And I am far from biased. But the NFL is like a crap shoot, and to a lot of you, this is not something you would see happening. But it's extremely realistic. These two teams know each other.. and well! Carson Palmer is second behind Peyton Manning in making the Ravens eat their own crow. But in the end, the Ravens will prevail. Ed Reed will be back and Carson Palmer wants no parts of that, trust me.

Winner:




NFC Wild Card Weekend
Washington @ Dallas- These two bitter rivals will meet for Wild Card weekend. By then, I expect McNabb to either be hurt, or out of gas. Sorry Skins fans, I think Dallas has what it takes to go further. Sucks that it's to your arch nemesis though
Winner:
Minnesota @ San Francisco- This is my upset pick. While the Vikings are a good overall team, I think this is when we really see how good the 49ers are on defense. Adrien Peterson fumbles away another game. The End

Winner:


NFC Divisional Weekend

Dallas @ Green Bay- Sorry Dallas, Aaron Rodgers is on a mission. And you're in the way. Cowboys fans are gonna throw tomatoes at me, but if you're playing GB in the Divisionals, it looks like another 1 win playoff year for you.

Winner:

San Francisco @ New Orleans- San Francisco may not be able to handle all that New Orleans can throw at them. The Saints have way too many weapons and the 49ers can't outscore the Saints.
Winner:

NFC Championship

Green Bay @ New Orleans- This is going to be epic. Better than the Vikings- Saints NFC Championship game. Aaron Rodgers, the NEW face of the Packers, against Drew Brees, the NFL darling. High powered offenses, good defense, and plenty of points. But in the end, I think Green Bay prevails.

Winner:




Super Bowl XLV

Baltimore @ Green Bay- Looks like this is the sexy pick amongst other bloggers and sports writer. When I first predicted this earlier in the year, I thought I was doing something. I guess I really wasn't doing that much, because a lot of other people have this same prediction. I refuse to change my pick, because I'm going with my gut. However, everyone is picking Green Bay to be the winner. And while I picked them to win as well, someone has to pick the underdog. And since my squad is the underdog...... allow me to be the one to do it!


Ravens 27, Packers 24 With a last second FG from Billy Cundiff!!!!!




The NFL Season is here!!!!!!!!! LEGOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
