I think the Giants took a big gamble. Daboll trying to save his own ass.
I'm taking the 0-4 Aints. We'll see.

I don't remember how long ago it was that I looked this one up, and I don't remember if it had anything to do with the Pigskin Pick'Em Freeper threads and you can't blame me because first God created dirt, then Free Republic, then I joined.
In fact, “pigskins” were originally made out of animal bladders—sometimes the bladder of a pig, which is thought to be how the moniker “pigskin” came about. Animal bladders were much more accessible to the average team than more expensive items like leather. When the bladder was inflated, it was mostly round and served well as a ball for gameplay.
The only trouble was that back in those days football players didn't make much money playing, and they were often playing hungry. So pigskin, bacon, you can see the problem. I think that's when they started hiring coaches.

Not too unusual. The totally banged up 9er’s seem unable to do wrong and nothing is going well for the Rams. We have 3 total picks for the Niners, and 30 picking the Rams.
To: dfwgator
OHMYLORD... and the Niners leading the Rams....

I’m enjoying the taste of crow tonight. I’m not disappointed that the 49ers won though.
