This Week in the AFC North... Revised,Balance of the Division Edition
-
Thanks for taking the mantle, Tour. This is our 12th day of being displaced Evacuees, as neither The Great Zomboni or his lovely assistant have power yet. But we are back in Naples and took up someone's kind offer of their home on the Beach ... and no major damage to our houses .. so we are thankful.
Had to charge the Crystal Ball all night after a week of being buried in the family trickster, and here is what it spat out:
Houston at Cincinnati, Thursday Night Football:
Sputtering Bungle offense causes embarrassing loss tobrookir QB at home. TEXANS 13 BUNGLES 9
Minnesota at Pittsburgh 1 PM
Steelers were lucky to get young Browns in Week one, but now thr sputtering has begun. VIKINGS 27 STEELERS 21
Cleveland at Baltimore 1 PM
Ratbirds not lucky to get Browns in Week two. Nassib makes an accordion out of Flacco's spine and Kizer throws 2 TD passes in first win. BROWNS 24 RAVENS 10

Glad you and your fam made it out unscathed and your home is okay. I cant imagine being displaced with so much uncertainty but thats why i dont live on a fault line, in tornado alley or in hurricane central. The trade offs arent worth it to me. Yet! At least.

Well in a week of firsts, i.e., first time for me kicking off Z's weekly traditional thread, here's another... changing a pick at the last minute.
Word is now out that the Vike's have announced that Sam Bradford is OUT.
Sorry Case, but you ain't Sam...
MIN @ PTG (-7.0)
With reduced threat from the MN air attack the game just got tougher for Cook... and the Vike's D, which will see more time on the field and less time between Steeler possessions.
Revised prediction: PTG 24 MIN 13
On another note... hurts my IDP league pick up of Adam Thielen who I had starting as my flex. May have to make a change there as well...
Good call!
Although Pitt still would have won with Bradford.

Debatable. So far Pitt has played vs. a rookie in his first game, and one of the worst backup QBs in the game. That is called a stroke of luck.

Case keenum is NOT that bad. Their defense is also very stout.

Do you read what you write?

Do you read what you write?
The vikings defense is good. Case keenum has been a starter before. He is a far cry from the worst back up, hes actually a pretty good one as far as backups are concerned. Are you ever not talking out of your ass? Everytime you pop off this is what i picture.

Yes, I want to talk about mamas.

Southwest Florida is wonderful. Much less riff raff in Naples/Marco Island/ Sanibel than anywhere I have ever been.

Until now.
Get home ok?

I'm home, still beautiful. All the landscaping got a shave and a haircut.
Many without power still (Including my home, staying with my girlfriend) and parts of Bonita Springs still under water. Lot of mobile homes ruined.
But we'll be better than ever.

And wait for Maria to arrive to hammer you once again? GTFOutta Dodge. Or actually....go to Dodge...City. Nice town actually, I was there earlier. No hurricanes. Just the occasional tornado.

It doesn't look like it.....but never say never. More likely if it hits the US it would be in the Carolinas.

Good to read, Z... expecting a business boom?

If he goes into construction he should.
Though the smart thing would be to just let the swamp reclaim all those homes and for him to move to like Ohio. Or, back to Pa....where he can hammer Steeler fans all day and all night.
Nope, don't live in a swamp, never going to live up North, and the Real Estate market will be booming by November.
We live in paradise. We know the cost: Three hurricanes in 100 years. You buy insurance, and then lock up and go. Knoxville was fun.

Reclaimed swamp?. Naples may be nice....a place I do want to visit someday....but I do not think I would ever want to live in the southeast. The Sweat Belt. The Southwest? Perhaps.
I have threatened to retire to southern Ireland. The climate is quite mild there. Do you know that Palm trees grow there? ( I would actually have the legal right to do so....as my mother was an Irish citizen...but, I would not likely leave the US...since my kids and family are here...but I have threatened it.)
