Happy New Year all!

I’ll be pulling for my Old Dallas Texans to catch on fire and pull through right to the Super Bowl yet I fear they may have their hands more than full with either the Pattycheateres or Stoolers, yet you’ve got to have the faith to believe—

So, that is my story and I’m sticking to it.

I don’t see the Iggles going far without Carson, much to my delight. While I have never been a Viqueens fan at all, I do like Mike Zimmer and if he leads the woebegone Hornheads to their very first, oh so elusive Super Bowl victory, it could be a lot worse—

I could also live the the LA Ewes, Ain’ts, Falcons, Allegra’s Old Earlers, the Jags or even the Bills winning the whole shebang. But not Cam’s Craybabies.

They go into the #”Oh, No, Never” file with the Iggles, Big’s Pattycakes and them Godless Stoolers.

Oh, well— What ever comes, comes. And since My Boys are out of it, I’ll just have to suffer through and hope for the best.

From the NFC I like the Saints. Brees has the experience and the balanced offense now too. Would have said the Eagles three weeks ago, but they are not the same team without Wentz.

As for the AFC... can anyone beat the Steelers or Patriots? When both have a week off to heal and prepare.... The Bills? Titans? Inconsistent Chiefs? Unpredictable Jaguars? We shall see. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
