What you have to understand about this cover... is that it was set up eight weeks ago--
And then I was looking at another possible 8-8 season for my Cowboys and... a trip to the Suicide Booth was a real possibility!
Soooooooo-- Week 8, campers, starts with the Bye teams, them Jersey Jints and Soapy 9ers, being both Bi-Sexual and Bi-Coastal--
Thursday night finds Manning Heavy playing host to the LA Designated Chargers for control of the AFC West. Manning in a walk--
Regular Sunday fare finds the Bankrupt Kitties feasting on Black Byrds baked in a London pie--
My Old Dallas Texans get the Yew back into the losing column--
Gadzooks, Allegra-- I'm picking your Texicans again, so get them to win one over your Old Earlers... for me!
Going to thrown the Viqueens a bone and a victory over the Bucking Ears--
I want to say the Seahags lose four in row, but they ain't. Seattle over Cam's Puttytats--
Andy, Andy, Andy? If you wish to be treated like a redheaded stepchild, Crab City's Black Byrds will accommodate you--
A&M's Greatest NFL Quarterback takes the Phins to a 4-3 record over the Jag-Offs--
Get your smile ready, big-- Your Patty Cakes smear Da Bears--
The Second Coming of Kyle keeps on track by De-Feeting Rex's Jersey Jets--
I'm thinking them Godless Iggles will be too damn rested and the Arid Zona Red Byrds will kick the feathered hinnies--
Is it too soon to call for Johnny Football to come in and save the day? Okay, okay, next week-- Seven, I'm picking your Waiders here--
Stoolers get Lucky for a visit and he does a job on them--
Same old Packer Wackers, big, and same old Ain'ts. Don't your teeth hurt smiling so much today?
Monday Night Feetball comes to JerryWorld and my Boys.. show Colt the real McCoy!
Okay, time for y'all to get your picks in right now... or be charged a late fee!
GO COLT McCOY!
In the end, Loins-n-Chops by 5.5 (Predict Score: 27 Daytwah, 21 Falco's)
And speaking of euro-weenies and Falco...let's view "Der Komissar" - a real shot-in-the-eye to socialism...

Denver beats San Diego not overwhelmingly, but comfortably enough in the end. Possibility of best game of the weekend right here.
If Atlanta were actually at home, I might think about taking them. At a neutral site? Lions gonna chew up some dirty birds and spit them out.
The Schizoid bowl: Rams and Chiefs... which version of each team will show up? (I’d hate to have either of these guys on my schedule out of sheer unpredictability.) I’ll take the cop-out and go Kansas City simply for being at home.
I really thought Houston was better than they’ve shown themselves to be. On the other hand, Tennessee really IS that bad. Texans in a rout.
I’m taking the Vikings only because Tampa Bay is worse than Tennessee.
Can the Seawhiners lose three in a row? I hope so, but hope don’t pay the bills (or what I call “the Obama lesson”); taking Seattle over the Panthers.
The Ravens have been playing well for a bunch of pre-convicted felons. Cincy’s been struggling to show they’re a top team, but I think they pull it together for a critical division game and win.
Jacksonville has proven they’re better than Tennessee. Then again, so is my local high school. Dolphins win.
This isn’t the ‘86 Super Bowl, and not being a Bears fan, it makes it a little less painful to pick New England.
There is only one team that actually plays IN New York, and they will thump the New Jersey Jets.
The Eagles’ never-give-up-attitude may be the only thing to admire about the city. Ever. And it will be enough to eke out a close one in the Arizona desert.
Raiders. Browns. Can both of them lose? No? Just the Raiders, then.
Despite finally starting to look like they’re putting things back together a bit on offense, my Steelers are going to get steamrolled by the Colts’ offense.
Is there anyone in the NFC South that’s any good? Apparently not. Packers over the Saints.
Washington, despite winning last week, is struggling to do anything right. The Cowboys are putting forth a surprisingly good record, I suppose to make this year’s collapse more epic. Still, the ‘boys are firing on all cylinders and the ‘skins are on a tricycle with flat tires. So naturally, I’m taking Washington because these two teams have a knack for flipping expectations upside down when playing each other.
Right up at the top, Clet... but I'll repeat it for ya: "Regular Sunday fare finds the Bankrupt Kitties feasting on Black Byrds baked in a London pie--"
Heck, Bend, I could see what you called for the Lions-Falcons in London... and I'm way off in Hooterville!
Yeah, Clet-- It is plain as day... and I'm in Arlen.
It is elementary my dear Cletus... and I am in a holodeck 937 light years away--
You must understand, Bendy, Cletus suffers from a rare physiological syndrome... he cannot tell when a cigar is just a cigar--
As Bend wrote, Cletus, the Lions will kick the Falcon's hind ends all over Wembley Stadium because it is so... logical.
I just had the strangest dream, Emily-- I dreamed... I could not read what Bend picked in the Lions-Falcon's game in London AND it was printed there at the top of the page just as plain as can be!
Gadzooks, Clint-- I hate the Teasips but when Colt was in Cleveland, I hoped he would be the real... McCoy--
But his slide to the dark side with time with the Soapy 9ers cooled me off--
And now with the Deadskins, Colt... is truly dead and buried... to me!
My apologies for executing an Evelyn Wood review of your post.
My blood-pressure might benefit from a “slow-down” on Wednesday mornings, yes?
Gadzooks, Clet! Do like me and just start every day with a good cigar... and a dozen or so martinis. Then the rest will all fall in place--
who’dathunkit?

There was NFL Dodgers team
WHOA
"Indirect ties to the Indianapolis Colts
The sequence of events begun by the demise of the Brooklyn Dodgers NFL team eventually resulted in the creation of what is now the Indianapolis Colts.
The Boston Yanks moved to New York as the Bulldogs in 1949. After the 1949 season the NFL added three teams from the AAFC. The AAFC Yankees players were split between the Giants and Bulldogs. The Bulldogs renamed themselves the New York Yanks in the same season.
After the1951 season, Yanks owner Ted Collins sold the franchise back to the league. The NFL then sold it to a new owner, Giles Miller, who moved the team to Dallas and renamed it the Dallas Texans. Miller returned his franchise to the league in the middle of the 1952 season, and the NFL operated it as a traveling team before folding it at the end of the season. In 1953, the NFL granted an expansion franchise to a Baltimore-based group and awarded it the remains of the Texans organization. The team, named the Colts, relocated to Indianapolis in 1984. However, the NFL currently does not consider the Colts to be a continuation of the franchise once known as the Brooklyn Dodgers."

Some tough calls this week
Denver holds court at home and send the bolts to Walmart to get some more AAA batteries.
Atlanta loses a home game for our 2nd trip to Merry Olde London, but no matter where this game was held I be predicting the cat gets into the birdcage.
The Cardinals aren’t in the WS so fans of the inter-Missouri rivalry will have to settle for this game, Chiefs win.
Texans need a win after that last game, and they’ll get it over the putrid Titans.
I’ll go out on a limb as say Lovie’s butt pirates raise the Jolly Roger in victory over the Viqueens.
Seattle’s gotta get off the snide, right? Yes. Not an easy game though.
Cincy’s gotta get off the snide, right? Wrong. This year may finally be the end of Marvin Lewis in Cincy.
Dan Marino returned to a Fins uniform last week, at least it looked that way to Bears fans, Dan takes care of the Jaggoffs too.
Ok, my Bears dig deep and.........no
The Jets aren’t 1 win bad, they get #2, and avoid making #2.
Battle of the Birds should be a good one, I’ll stick with my Chicago Cardinals.
Cleveland lost to win-less Jacksonville last week, could it happen again? It could, but I say it won’t, poor Raiders.
Are the Steelers back? No, the Texans just made #2, Indy.
NOLA dig deeps and home, and still loses to Green Bay.
Monday night, hmmm, Skins with the upset, just kidding, their skin will be red from the spanking.

You can probably pick the Old Earlers to lose even during their Bye Week.
