NFL WEEK NINE

Friends, Dol-fans, countrymen, lend me your ears. Today in New England will not be pretty. The leaves have turned. It is a crisp fall day. And the despised Cheaters will pound our Dolphins. Take our advice. Go for a walk. See a movie. Don't watch the game. Oh...the humanity.

The game that we really like is the Ravens at the Bengals. The surprising Bengals are in first place in the AFC North. They have already beaten the Ravens in Baltimore and the World Champ Steelers in Cincinnati, and yet the Bengals are 3 point home dogs. Cincinnati at home getting points is a lock, right? Nope. The Ravens are the better team here by far. The total here is also a bit out of wack at 46. Ravens -3 +200, under 45 +300.

The Eagles are -3 at home over the resurgent Cowboys who are led by the second worst coach in the NFL- Vanilla Phillips. Take the Eagles -3 for 400 Cheese steaks
("with" (pronounced "wit" in south Philly) of course, and if you have to ask "with what?" you're a hopeless cheese steak novice and should not be reading this blog). And of course we mean Pats Cheese Steaks, not Genos which as any Philly fan knows are both right across the street from each other.

We've got a pretty good feel for the Monday night game of Steelers at Broncos, but lets see what happens here.

SUICIDE POOL:

Our famous writer of bitingly funny emails, super PD Daniel Tibbitt picks the Seahawks; Ifitkhar Memon-Falcons (NOTE -we erred and wrote in the wrong pick earlier); Rick Fredman- Falcons; Peter Sautter-Seahawks.

PLAYERS- PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR PICK FOR STEELERS BRONCOS- PLUS TOTAL POINTS SCORED- TOTAL TDS SCORED- TOTAL FIELD GOALS SCORED. WE ARE APPROACHING A POSSIBLE TIEBREAKER SCENARIO. TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO IF ALL 4 OF YOU LOSE TODAY? RESET IT FOR NEXT WEEK, OR GO TO A TIEBREAKER. I WILL LET A MAJORITY VOTE OF YOU 4 DECIDE.
HR.

  3. From the Bridgeport Connecticut Gazette Sunday Magazine: The Dark Side Of Shumie Time:

    "What started out as a lark among middle aged california lawyers who liked to surf, has spread across the country as the code word for anything from teenage marijuana use to illicit sexual liaisons. Now one Bridgeport law firm has folded and some of the partners are not so sure the practice of taking some time off early didn't contribute - if not to the demise of the firm- then at least its rapid decent.

    One senior partner who didn't want to be quoted by name said: 'I don't know how much it had to do with our failure. Perhaps the economy made it inevitable. I do know that on most Friday afternoons when our lawyers could have been working and billing, many of them were sneaking off early and that hurt us' "....

  7. Props to the Dolphins for playing the Cheaters much tougher than I would have thought. The number was ten and the finish was ten.

    We're up 80 on the Ravens/Bengals.

  13. Yes, we are alive and kicking, but the same can not be said for our bankroll. We couldnt post our picks yesterday due to family commitments, but went a very unimpressive 2-3 with the following picks.

    Arizona +3
    Baltimore/ Cincy under 43.5
    N.O. -13.5
    S.F. -4
    Philly -3
