He's not even in his 30's or 40's anymore either...

But its time for 2-2 and back to 500

It's called dehydration Z, dehydration. Hard to believe, but drinking huge quantities of booze can do the to you.

I have a cold, my liver is crying, I drove 6 hours through relentless storms last night once I made it to 1-75, and I am still pissed at the Browns.

Nonetheless ... there WILL be a TWITAFCN this week ... there is always is.

But I am so pissed at the Browns, I swear I am not picking them to win this week.

Strange thing ... after six months of exercise, eating right and maintaining the same weight ... I went up North, ate nothing but fried foods, drank copious amounts of alcohol ... and lost a pound and a half.

Who gives a fuck about the Bengals rat birds or stoolers? Fuck em all and that is why there is no "this week in the AFCN..."

Sun Tzu?

Plus 1 on that.

Alright, you're blessing plus Gip's sensitivity to even the appearance of poaching have enticed me...

This one's for you, Z... Get better, Bud...

Weekly Results . YTD

Straight-up ......... 7-4

Vs. the spread .... 9-2

Tampa Bay (+7.5) @ Pittsburgh

Only 7.5? In 3-Rivers? What am I missing here? (Besides the fact that they play in Heinz Field now.)

This is a classic strength-on-strength/ weakness-on-weakness match up with the strengths being TB's D vs. PTG's O and the weaknesses the pairing that's leftover.

May come down to Big Ben vs. Skinny Mike...

Gotta go with the heavyweight in that match up...

PTG 27 TB 19

Carolina (+3.5) @ Baltimore

Totally different situations here with both teams having damn good D's and questionable O's. So which good is more "good" and which "?" is larger?

CAR's D is the better D, but not by much, but...

CAR's O is also the bigger "?"

I think Smith Sr.'s "Blood on the field" effort plus the return of Pierce combine to tilt the scales more than enough in BLT's direction...

Even the possible return of DA to face the Ravens will not be enough...

BLT 20 CAR 16

Ratbirds 6

Bucs 121

Squeelers 12

math does not add up to the score..but meh....I like it

I almost never make picks, but I will this week- the Yucks will get smoked. Carolina will be POed after their poor showing last week and take down the Ratbirds.
