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.

Conf Championships with a side of whipped BUTTER

Leg, what kind of question is that? Will I post something with Falcor again? Come on. Do elves live in the forest? Do Dragons live forever? Do Dwarves have beards? Does Tim love the movie Dune? Was it Tim's idea for me to see the move Wing Commander with him in high school, which went on to be the worst movie I've ever seen? Did Tim steal my LW student ID in HS while I was a mere freshman, simply because he collects IDs (p.s. I'd like it back, but you've probably misplaced it like your Papas Fritas cd - a great addition to anyone's collection)? Does this answer your question:

Hey Taco, do you believe in pixies?

The pikxxx:

(least confident)

Colts/Pats has become the classic match-up of our era. It' s like Sampras/Aggassi, Ali/Smokin Joe or Bulls/Pistons back in the day. This is a hard one because I always love and want to pick the Colts, but the Pats always seem to win the big game by 3. In the end I'm a creature of lust and have to follow my heart. I'm like Anakin Skywalker in persuit of Padmay here. I'm lovin the COLTS by 6.

(most confident)

In the end we all know I'm a die hard Bears fan. I would like nothing more than to live and die by the Bears... I know you're looking down on me sweetness and papa bear. I could go out of WDYL with a clear conscience by losing with a Bears pick. The saint a tuff team, but the media worship is a bit excessive, and contrary to all the bs tv announcers a Saints win won't undo Katrina. Here are the facts: the Saint O will be a mouthful of an injured Bears defense, but I think they started to find their stride at the end of the S'hawks game; the Bears O is suspect, but when they're good they're great; finally, it's friggin cold in chi-town. With homefield against a dome team and a good defensive performance the Bears will win by 1 and ride the wings of Falcor to the Superbowl where they'll remove the nothing's taint.
