Taco playoffs

Ok so apparently I’m playing Tim, and even more apparently I am supposed to make some decent picks this week because last week was a bad week for banter from yours truly… Actually this hasn’t been Taco’s best season. Even more apparently that that, I am supposed to acquiesce to this idea of making my picks filled with political repartee. Those of you who know Taco including me know that won’t be an impediment. Yet Taco has decided to go off the cuff and see what happens. Incidentally the Buf just made his picks; unaware that he was out of it and he said that he likes: the Vikes at home because Cunningham to Moss is hard to stop, the Bears on the Road because this could be Moses Moreno’s team now, the B’cos on the road because Elway has one last tank of gas left, and the Bills at home because Thurman Thomas will probably one day be in the hall of fame.

I would be remised if I didn’t mention that Sobol got screwed last week and I am asking a congressional committee to look into the legitimacy of the ruling that the commish determined. Can you use accumulated rant points? I want to see the leagues charter where that is stated… Also I want to know if one of those rant points was use to defeat Sobol at any other point in the season. If this turns out to be the case I am looking into some strong Double Jeopardy implications.

Ok to the picks yet let me say that these are some amazing games and really tough to pick at that.

4.I love the Horses to upset Edgar Alen Poe on the road. Gusty pick you say, well so was the Presidents speech last night and while I would have necessitated a bit more on the whole we’re fighting a global war on terror ideal, I think that it was alright. Nothing special but alright. Much like this game, I think that Poe had a great season but the Colts D will do just enough and Manning will light it up like Mophats running a trick play at Pearl Park. If you think I’m wrong on this let me ask you something… Who would win in a match up between Tim’s Penis and Seymour Butts? Common sense would tell you to go with Butts, but I like Tim’s Penis. Tim’s Penis and Horses by a FG.

3. I love the Saintly Men at home. I am not sold on Garcia. Also the Saintly men will have 1815 on their minds as they hope to recapture the spirit of General Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans. The war of 1812 was for all intensive purposes over but since telegrams took so long to travel in those days no one alerted Jackson or the British down in the Bayou, so the Battle went on… Just like no one will alert Jeff Garcia that he’s white and not Donavan McNabb… Wait Brees is white too. Crap. But the telegram from Philadelphia telling Garcia that he sucks will not arrive in time. Saintly men by 10.

2. I hate the Bears but love them to win at home and finally get a playoff win. The Dirty Sea Chickens will be expecting to seek revenge after the smack down that the Bears laid on the Chickens earlier this year, but Moses Moreno is looking to have a sharp game in his return to the Bears. I heard that Rex Grossman was throwing his hat in the ring for the Presidential race for 2008. He has not yet declared what party because he did not properly prepare for said decision and is embarrassed at his performance at the press conference announcing his candidacy. He has however launched an exploratory committee to seek funds for a run at the White House. So far his potential cabinet includes Sec of State Olin Kreutz, Sec. of Defense Brian Urlacher (feel free to use that one Bears fans), and Vice President Devin Hester to bail him out of every single situation he gets in. Bears by 1.

1. Finally in the game that was really hard to pick I like the Bolts because they have a really good running back. It is wise to never bet against the Patriots in January, but picking the Patriots in this game would be like selecting Tim to make a game winning fast break lay up… Let’s be honest it seems like the smart pick, but Tim is going to miss that shot he will inevitably get his own rebound (because he is the only one down there but he would bet it anyway because he boxes out like no one else), but he would miss the follow up lay up. The smart move would be to kick it out to a trailing Stromberg (take your pick on which one for the three) Chargers by ½ point.

I agree on a charter- It does indeed seem strange to use stocked rant points without the rules in writing-

I dont mind the rules here... Hawksngsinsg had a far superior year ranting wise compared to Mysobol. What fun would it be if somebody like Freeburg won it all this year even though every week its just picks and no rants... how fair is that?

Nate said...

I'm fine with rant points- ranting is more entertaining than winning for sure, but we never decided if rant points roll over to be used later... als i'm sayin is lets define the rules

DecentDestroyer said...

It's WDYL, has there ever been rules...? I mean we changed from picking 4 games to 16 games last year for goodness sake. I like leaving it up to Lars to decide. It's like Judge Wapner on the People's Court.
