Final NFL picks...Book It (Pizza Hut style)

In what's being called "The Greatest NFL Preview south of Crown Point," part II arrives to finish off the regular season standings and playoff teams. Who will win the Super Bowl. Well hell if I know, but I'm gonna give it my best, biased shot. But before we get into the action, let's get political.

I just finished reading the latest TIME magazine that features John McCain on the cover. I've always like McCain. He seems like a good guy, good citizen and generally a good politician. He seemed honest with the media and people and he often criticized our current president. I encourage everyone to read this week's magazine as you'll quickly realize that McCain has turned himself into Captain Douchebag (he will be referred to as this for the entirety of this blog's existence) in order to win this election. Not only has he shifted his ideals to the far right and to conform with the current president in order to win over big time republicans, but he's completely stopped himself from being cordial and honest with the media. Please read this interview from the magazine. The interviewer actually asks Capt. D "Do I know you?" Anyways, the interview and the other articles helped turn me completely off Capt. D and his seafood restaurants. Oh, and if you were like me and lots of other people who immediately thought of teachers or librarians from porn movies when you saw Capt. D's VP pick, Sarah Palin, then here's an article for you.

AFC WEST
1. Chargers: Pretty obvious choice even for me.
2. Broncos: Staying with politics, the DNC will propel this team to glory, but they'll miss that coveted wild card slot by one game. Book it.
3. Raiders: McFadden pulls a Peterson and helps the Raiders get five wins.
4. Chiefs: They look like they suck...period.

AFC SOUTH
1. Jaguars: I know, I know. The Colts will not win this division this year. No way, no how. I root for the Blue, but they're just not healthy enough for an entire season. But, like 2006, they'll get everyone healthy enough by the time playoff season begins.
2. Colts: Well shit, I said everything about the Colts in the Jags part. My bad.
3. Titans: Honestly, how long can one coach stay with a team?
4. Texans: They look like they suck...exclamation point.

NFC SOUTH
1. Saints: Brees carrys the load for my fantasy team as we sail to glory.
2. Panthers: Steve Smith comes back and lights a fire under his team with more assualts.
3. Bucs: Really coulda used Favre.
4. Falcons: They look like they suck...really, really suck.

NFC WEST
1. Seahawks: Winner of a crappy division.
2. Cardinals: Really? Cardinals in 2nd? Wow.
3. 49ers: No QB yet they still don't get last? Really?
4. Rams: They suck...period.

WILD-CARD ROUND
Colts over Titans...Jets over Broncos....Cowboys over Seahawks...Giants over Bears

DIVISIONAL ROUND
Colts over Steelers....Jags over Jets....Cowboys over Saints...Eagles over Giants

CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP
Colts over Jags...Cowboys over Eagles

SUPER BOWL
Colts over Cowboys: Oh yeah! So the Jags win the division, but they don't have the experience to win the AFC. As for the Cowboys, they've got the pieces to get to the SB, but Indy needs another Super Bowl, so they get one. That's how it works. Book it.

2 minutes...2-ah
Not much Pacer news, but breaking news tonight about two rookies who hail from Kansas were kicked out of the rookie training camp in New York for having pot in their hotel room. Luckily, one of them was not Pacer rookie Brandon Rush, who was a Jayhawk last season.

Hello, Mr. Radio
Gotta give ya the photo of "then and now" of Mrs. Palin. Enjoy.

In a Champagne Supernova in the sky...
New category for Oasis news. With the new album coming out soon, the band just started a world tour. But the best news is that Noel Gallagher is doing a daily blog on the tour. The foul-mouthed leader of the band holds nothing back and is absolutely hilarious. If you like the rock music world, I recommend the blog here. You will need to register with the site to read the blog, but it's free so stop being a lazy bastard and do it. Excerpt from the blog:

"Pulled into some truck stop for breakfast. I love truck stops, you never know if you’re gonna meet a preacher or a serial killer. Ask the waitress for 7 menus. She looked at us like it was the 1st time she’d been asked for 7 of anything in her life! The restaurant / bar area has a little dance floor and a stage at one end and a speak your weight machine at the other! What the fuck? Shit food and all. It’s a small price to pay though. The rest of the boys have flown rather than brave the bus. I’ve never understood that. This is the whole point of touring. Staring out the window, watching the world go by."

Good stuff.

I just heard the new Oasis song on my way to work at 4:40 AM (I was running way late). It didn't suck.

Your picks though? They suck.

As for Palin, yeah, I'd hit it. And if not, then I'll take the daughters (one has already proved she puts out).
