Good Morning. Happy 6 year anniversary to being smoke free to me. Quitting was a bitch. I was on the patch, Wellbutrin and chewing nicotine gum all at the same time for a while. I then spent another 3 years hooked on the gum. I used to mail order it by the case from New Zealand. People, you know you have a problem when you are mail ordering nicotine gum from New Zealand. Today also marks the first time I ever shared a bed with my now wife. It’s not nearly as good as it sounds. I helped her move into a new apartment and ended up crashing at her place when we were done. After we had put here bed together, I asked her where the slats were. She insisted it didn’t have any. At 3:30 AM the bed collapsed. Good times, good times indeed.
Swept away.
Five years after the brawl, dood is still a punk.
Golf has way too many Cups and crap.
Racism, in Atlanta? Gasp!
22 receptions!
I don’t think I could do it.
After last weeks slate of barn burners, this week was snooze city. Sparty, the Fighting Miz’s, Trey’s, and JRods all won. As did Mrs. Patphish’s and Johnny’s Alma. The BigD Douche Rockets did not and their queen got benched. That’s a nice day.
I hate soccer and do not apologize for it. However, we do have a bunch of fans that hang here, so I will throw them a bone because they are ok doods. But soccer still sucks. H/T to knightwhosaysni, he sent the link because I refused to look for it.
NFL Picks: Last week 0-2, Season 4-4. The Titans suck. They have cost me two straight weeks, as I hardheadedly kept believing they would turn it around. I actually expect them to beat the Colts today, but I wouldn’t bet on it with your money, let alone mine.
Cincinnati +10 over Baltimore. The Ravens are good. So are the Bengals. Division game, 10 points is a ton in the NFL. 23-20 Baltimore
Kansas City +9 over the Cowboys. Wade Phillips last game. KC 31, Dallas 27.
Bonus Pick! Arizona and Houston go way over 50.
Just Because: Craigslist Rules. If it ever happens to you, just write her a check and be done.
Enjoy your Sunday, the game of the week is Monday.

very funny, sir. made me laugh out loud before 9:oo in the am, which is hard to do sometimes.

MSU is now 3-0 the week after the Michigan game. That might be the most impressive stat of Dantonio’s coaching career at MSU so far. sparty(Quote)
Jason Garrett as head coach would be even better!!! sparty(Quote)
i will enjoy doing the Monday TMA. trust me.

I only went 8-2 and still got as many points on the week. I’m not picking particularly well but am doing a fantastic job of ranking them for confidence points. Last week I went 4-6 and the 4 I got right were my 10, 9, 8 and 7 picks. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
US did end up beating Honduras and qualifying for the world cup last night. USA! USA! USA! knightwhosaysni(Quote)

I cannot hide my hate for that kid. That post game after ND really got to me.
Side bar: My Spartacast prediction of Floriduh 16, LSU 3 was spot on. Too bad no one heard it. patphish(Quote)

/my nfl teams suck Fiesta Trio(Quote)
They have NFL teams in Los Angeles? Big D(Quote)
they’re welcome to take the raiders and rams back i’m sure sae(Quote)
Who’s the worst team in Missouri? patphish(Quote)
I love Denver’s throwbacks. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
Ya, we need the Rams and Raiders back. But USC rocks, man! Fiesta Trio(Quote)
what an interesting day. sparty(Quote)
Crap, I’m going to lose to Mikey. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
I am finally going to get off the schneid in the mikey league by obliterating gitc. I’m projected to have an amazing 137 points. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
That’s a kick ass score, kwsn. I should’ve started Benson instead of McGahee. I left 19 points on the bench that would have made my game real close. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
Michael Turner and the Vikings D were good to me. Lawrence Tynes put up a lot of points for a kicker too. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
I didn’t know Keanu Reeves played QB for Denver. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
I guess I’m glad Denver won because I like their throwbacks, but the nfl overtime rules suck. College rules are much better. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
Holy Crap! The Denver Bruins won! knightro(Quote)
I like the Twins all grass infield. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
I guess the lesson to be learned out of all this is that if you have a quarterback who went to Purdue on your team you will be undefeated. Kyle Orton, Drew Brees and Curtis Painter are all on undefeated teams. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
Curtis Painter sucks though Johnny(Quote)
That apparently doesn’t matter. Joey Elliott should be the #1 draft pick based on this information. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
Peyton is definitely he best QB in the league. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
and Eli is 2nd this year. sparty(Quote)
And I have both qbs on my fantasy team and no one wants to trade for Eli. Although I’m not trading him until after the Colts bye next week. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
3 more outs to go. sparty(Quote)
My Colts super bowl prediction still look ridiculous? knightwhosaysni(Quote)
From 33,000 ft up…hi. GatorTrey(Quote)

Ya I remembered Today…I had some bye guys goin in my fantasy league too GatorTrey(Quote)
