Why you! You had your chance to choose for yourself and now you have to live with the consequences. 😠

Just kidding, it's no trouble. Not in a 4 game week anyway.

If you like this one I'll swap it in.

Honestly, I do too, for the most part.

I hate New England with a red hot passion I usually reserve for the Raiders, the Yankees, and the SF Giants.

I wouldn't mind seeing the poor old sad Jaguars make the Super Bowl. I got a soft spot for the Vikings. I'm tired of the Steelers. The only teams I have any actual feeling for is the Aints (because of their historical underdogedness and ex-Charger Drew Brees....and Hotlanta.

I'd love to be wrong on most of my picks. It's just that I ain't.

Bender and Impy's threads aren't personal. They're business.

p.s. I almost had to break my NFL boycott cause my beloved Chargers made a nice playoff run there for a minute. Of course they broke my heart like usual. Whaddya' gonna' do?

My Patriot hate will sustain me.

Oh, this reminds me of an anecdote which I will share with you.

A couple of weeks ago I'm out to breakfast. It's crowded so I'm stuck waiting by the front door for a table with about ten other people. One guy notices my Charger sweatshirt. He makes a crack. Not a mean one. Just a crack. So I'm all like, "Who's your team? Wait. Don't tell me. The Raiders."

That's what you get around here. Raiders or Niners. I guessed Raiders cause these two guys were typical Raider fans. Kinda thick bodied Hispanical types. Like they just got out yesterday on early release.

Anyway, we get to talking and I, trying to be nice, tell them the Raiders looked like they were gonna do some damage until they refused to block for Carr in that one game and he got hurt. After that they fell apart. The one guy says, "Yeah. I haven't watched a game since." I say, "Me too, but for other reasons. Like kneeling."

Then this other white guy pipes up and goes full freeper.

It was kinda cool.

That's the end of that story.

No problemo, as long as it's before kickoff! I guess that's everyone, good luck all.

[Jim W N]

Well, bagster, that didn't take long. I was about to go down to that FR jail and knock some heads together...

Welcome to the outside...

Re: Of the cities represented this weekend, Philadelphia is the biggest shithole

No argument here-- Or... there!

But like dear old Avis, #2 is... trying hard--

[Rummyfan]

Only good thing about Philly is the cheesesteaks.

Re: Only good thing about Philly is the cheesesteaks.

Well, there are a few other things... they wrap well in Philly--

But I would not want my bot-in-law... to marry one--

'Cause he never let me... forget it!
