There’s a Monday night game tonight where I need Marshawn Lynch to go off for about 33 points to save my fantasy season, but as far as I’m concerned this week is in the bag.
- At least I still have the Sonics: The Seahawks lost to the Cardinals 26-20, officially ending their playoff pipe dreams, in a game that they had a good chance to win. Matt returned and threw 3 INTs. I didn’t watch the game which at 2-8 is preferable. I’m starting to think Kurt Warner is going to be the MVP. This really depresses me for some reason.
- It’s gonna be over, before you know it’s begun: The Eagles tied the Bengals. Normally, two teams being so awful as to tie is news in itself but this is made even better since Donovan McNabb didn’t even know it was possible! I wonder if Andy Reid knew a tie was possible. I really doubt that he did. (Did you know that Ryan Fitzpatrick has a gay brother? It’s true his name is Michael Fitzpatrick and his boyfriend’s name is Patrick Fitzmichael. Hey-yo!)
- Tim Donaghy now working for the NFL: Are we living in the days of the worst officiating of all time? I can’t even watch baseball anymore without ending up disgusted at how bad the umpiring is. The NBA’s referees are, we’ll be nice and just say, the worst. Now, it’s not even safe to bet on the NFL? What’s next, horseracing?
- Actor slams Packers: I didn’t see it, but apparently the star of Failure to Launch went off on Packers management during the Fox pre-game show. He made some outrageous claim that the Packers would be 8-1 if they had kept Brett Favre. Completely ignoring the fact that Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been directly responsible for any of the losses, let’s compare the two:
Aaron Rodgers: 15/6/94.5
Brett Favre: 18/12/93.0Obviously 3 more TD passes and 6 more INTs would have the Pack right back on top.
- I ended up going 1-1 on betting this weekend. I took the Seahawks and the Packers. I always do this thing where I convince myself that a game is a “must win” for the team so it’s a good idea to bet on it. Yesterday was a “must win” game for the Seahawks and it really wasn’t a good game to bet on. Sure, they could have won. Sure, they should have beat the spread. But it wasn’t thinking with my head, it was thinking with my made up belief system of “must win games” being “must bet games”. Just stay away Vince, just stay away.
