This picture pretty much sums up my feelings towards this winter and this current blast of arctic air. I'm surprised people haven't started trying to kill one another with frozen bass. This is exactly why I don't ice fish in the first place. Anyway time for sports!!
I couldn't have been more wrong on the New England Patriots last week. I realized that I didn't put enough thought into those games and settled for 2-2 on the weekend but it is championship week in the NFL and here comes the picks.
New York vs. Pittsburgh (-3.5)
I have to give it to the Jets. They played a great game. They had an amazing game plan and they stuck to it. It forced Brady to do things he didn't want to do. It's a tempting line for all the betters to take the Jets and the points this week against Pittsburgh. You aren't crazy if you like the Jets. I mean, in consecutive weeks they have beaten two of the 10 best quarterbacks in NFL history combine that with the fact that the Steelers O-line is in shambles and just played a grueling game against the leagues most physical team (Ravens). With all of this information in hand....I'm taking Pittsburgh. It's my belief that the Jets shot their wad last week against New England. I think it's going to be hard for them to find the extra gear to take down the Steelers and How many times can you remember Big Ben coming up short in a big spot....I mean except all those girls he tries to fondle while drunk. I can't bet against the Steelers. Pitt wins and covers 23-17
Green Bay(3.5) vs Chicago
I was rapping today with my friend Brian about the last time a team was a home dog in a championship game. We think it was when the Giants played the Vikings in 2000. I think we all know how that turned out. This won't be 41-0 like that game but I am going to take the Bears in a high scoring battle and I say this for a couple of reasons. 1) I hate the Packers and the idea that my Packer Backer friends could hold another Super Bowl appearance over me is just unthinkable.2) Special teams often decide games like this and I'll take Devin Hester if that's the case and finally I want Mike Tice (Bears O-line coach) and former Vikings coach to have a shot at the ring just so he can stick it to all of the dumb Vikings fans who wanted Brad Childress instead. I also hope he passes by the Wilf's house with his ring dangling out the window of his Escalade or whatever the hell he's driven these days. Bears win 24-23
Oh one more thing. I'm sick and tired of these athletes at the end of games going with the old "Nobody Believes in us!" "All you haters". This idea that your motivated by what Jag-offs like the guys at ESPN say is just pathetic. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuMy1EG2StM
Here is the thing Bart Scott, If you didn't get your teeth kicked down your throat by 40 on national television 6 weeks ago, maybe someone would have believed in you. Here is the other thing, talk about how winning is what motivated you or how you get paid to win or how it's your goal to get to the bowl instead of using the tired cliche' that nobody believed in us and we wanted to show the world what we were all about. Oh Happy day that you showed that to us. Oh how our mundane lives have been enriched and we promise to never doubt you again. Seriously guys, get over yourselves and let's see you run your flaps like that this week against Pittsburgh.
Ok Folks, That's it for me. See ya next week.
Stay Warm and Don't Fumble
