Long Suffering Lions Fan
Re: Eagles: "Hey, we're an NFC power after all" type game Sunday, then go right back to stinking.
Yea, the Lions have long had a habit of bringing that out in teams...
-
Point of Order
King, do you type? You said months ago that Salon gave you a voice system to use for your columns. Was that a joke, or ???
P.S. I'm rooting for the Lions! I want the white quarterback to beat the African-American quarterback! [People who have not been following King Kaufman may not get this.]

Ted Kubiak?
Ted Kubiak? The Texans coach is Gary Kubiak. Dating yourself there by confusing him with a 70s baseball player!

Ted Kubiak
Yeah. That's been fixed. I was just sitting here in my house, watching TV, hanging out, my week over, and, completely out of the blue, not thinking about my column at all, I had this thought:
Did I type Ted Kubiak?
Checking ... yup. Well, column's only been up a short time, maybe nobody's noticed. I'll just check the letters. Doh!

bengals @ seattle is a late sunday game
Bengals @ Seattle should be in the late Sunday games section.

What does Vegas say?
If you've got room for 19 experts, how about adding one more - the only bonafide expert that lives and dies by its picks: the Vegas line.
I know, the line is only trying to even out the betting, not actually predict the winner, but it's still a better measure of aggregated "wisdom" than anything else out there.

Can You Imagine
The disgrace and humiliation of being a Notre Dame football player's girlfriend nowadays? That position usually carries a certain level of prestige.
I bet those guys are being dumped at a much higher rate than previous years...... I just went to ESPN stats and it's minus .1 yards per carry for the season. That's negative 3.6 inches. How do you orgasm with that?

Stirring the Pot
Poor King,
Chained to a Friday column that is controversy-free by having to stick to snarky, mediocre NFL predictions...where are the ratings in that?
Have been out of the loop recently, but isn't there a pennant race going on between the two superpowers? Isn't Calvin Scharaldi, I mean Eric Gagne, hard at work stoking the fires of the West and East? Cubs are in the hunt, facing down their longstanding nemesis - This Bud's for You, Brewers.
Phils and Mets, another contest where both sides are pretty much wondering how their side is going to discombobulate.
c'mon now. Why is everything football football football.
O, and because I care too much - Good riddance Morinho...All hail Gunners 2.0

My Picks For The Week
I don't do it very often and when I do I gamble.
We're going on a golf junket next weekend. Two nights in the lodge, two breakfast and evening eat till ya puke buffets, and 3 rounds of golf with cart for 200 bucks.
I'll try to partially or fully pay for the trip. I'm going with the bad boys former teams this weekend--O.J. and Vick.......Five 40 buck bets on the Bills, 49ers, Falcons, Southern Cal, and Virginia Tech.
-
Packers D
If the Packers Defense is as good as it seems, the Pack might just pull out a win against SD. Especially if Farve gets Greg Jennings back this week. Or even if the O-Line continues to improve just a little.
-
I May Look For One More Game
To pay for the grass....we couldn't get smoking rooms, all taken. They got another thing coming.
The Salon personals have some real babes in it. Is that stuff for real or is it like a titty bar--illusion?
-
Vikes over Chiefs?
I like most of your picks, but there is simply no way the Vikings are going to beat the Chiefs on Sunday. They will not be able to move the ball with their QB situation. Not against this Chiefs defense, at Arrowhead. The Vikings will turn it over three times, and if Herm Edwards actually makes good use of Larry Johnson and the Chiefs don't throw ridiculous low percentage fade passes on 3rd-and-1 in the red zone, the offense will be adequate.
Bear in mind that the Bears won the game on special teams. Without Devin Hester's two golden returns, that game is a tie. The Chiefs aren't nearly as bad as everyone thinks they are, and despite their early struggles there is some serious potential in the offense. Granted, the Chiefs aren't looking anything like Super Bowl contenders at this point, either, but they are looking very much like a one-and-done in the playoffs team despite the 0-2 start...again.

point check
The Cowboys have scored 82 points, not 92.

The Notorious One
Hey Wes, I checked out the Salon Personals for 1st time & you're right, there are some hot babes out there. It wouldn't let me look at the photos without signing up, though.
How about UK whopping UL last Sat. night, any comments on that?
By the way, thank you for getting your star ;-)

Paul
All I can say is that a whole slew of my fellow Louisville fans are little babies with their diapers full. They already want the new coach axed.
-
UL Fans
That's sad, Wes. I think Kragthorpe is a good coach & UL will be fine. I went to UK - Kent St. game week before & all the fans were already frothing at the mouth about the UL game. I think Commonwealth was a tough place to play that night.
Hope you have fun on your golf junket.
-
Actually
A psychological study of the Louisville fan base is in order. In a very, very short period of time they have come to think it is now their birthright to be in the national title hunt every year.
The university was considering dropping the sport in the mid 70s and now they've come to be an exciting, competetive program going for their 10th straight bowl this year, attracting players they never have before and it's already not good enough.

A few replies
Crales If you've got room for 19 experts, how about adding one more - the only bonafide expert that lives and dies by its picks: the Vegas line.
The betting line indirectly reflects the opinion of the public. I use the Yahoo users picks as a more direct, though possibly less scientific, version of the same thing.
BaldHeaded Ho Have been out of the loop recently, but isn't there a pennant race going on between the two superpowers?
No. The loser of this "race" wins the wild card. If this "pennant race" came down to the last day and they were playing each other, they'd be resting their best pitchers to set up their playoff rotations.
Sorry. That's not a pennant race. The pennant race is extinct in baseball.
c'mon now. Why is everything football football football.
I made fun of hockey the other day.
It's not my fault baseball ceded September to football! Talk to your pal Bud, and look me up in October if you like baseball.
ryanismean I like most of your picks, but there is simply no way the Vikings are going to beat the Chiefs on Sunday.
You rock for saying that BEFORE the game, not after, and then only if the Chiefs win.
I think you're nuts for thinking the Chiefs are a playoff team. But props all the same.
