Taco Championships

Ok so here it is the conference championships in the NFL and WDYL has Lars and Taco still making picks… And not picks just to boost our egos. What is even scarier is that in two weeks it is foreseeable that Lars and Taco would lock up in a classic showdown. Those picks would get less press than the Mets and the Yankees in the World Series. Outside of New York no one cares. Yet Taco has to get through this week first. Butter awaits…

To the picks:

2. I love the Saintly Men to get the upset on the road. I look at this game like I look at politics. I see the Bears as the Democrats and the Saints as the Republicans. Being a traditionalist Conservative, I really don’t like either at this point, and think that both are screwing up the country in different ways. However as a traditionalist I am more prone to side with the Republicans, though not always happy to do so. Rex Grossman is like Nancy Pelosi because he loves to talk a big game and attack at the right time, and somehow always come out looking better than he/she did before. I don’t care for Nancy Pelosi, I don’t like the Bears, and so I’ll take the elephants and Reggie Bush 27-24.

1. In the second game I will not resort to imprudent political repartee, because let’s be honest the first attempt in the first game was an immense calamity. In reality it is not that funny, and I could change it, but I have no desire, because let’s be honest Hometown Buffet is not going to read this. I have tried to tell myself that I have learned my lesson in picking against the Founding Fathers in January. However I can’t say that I have. I have a feeling that this may be the Horses year, and they are finally playing the Founding Fathers at home… Yet the Fathers have had no trouble on the road yet, and it seems that trend won’t change this week. It is fair to say Taco is in a pickle. It seems that at this point picking the Founding Fathers is as much a sure thing as Hometown Buffet having a retreat, Tim missing a wide open lay up, and Mod having up to the minute stats of the Chicago Sky. So I have to go against fate and take the smart pick: I like the Founding Fathers to get it done on the road. Fate may kick my ass on this one. Founding Fathers 17-14.
