No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

NFL Week 12

by @ 9:01. Filed under Miscellaneous.

If at first you don’t succeed at smashing .500 for the year, try, try again…

Green Bay (-4) @ Detroit – History versus numbers; take the numbers.
NY Jets @ Dallas (-14.5) – NBC will regret losing next week’s NFC Championship Preview to the NFL Network.
Indianapolis (-13) @ Atlanta – As bad as Indy’s been, the Dirty Birds are that much worse.
Minnesota (+7) @ NY Giants – Let the usual G-men second-half slide commence!
Denver (+1.5) @ Chicago – You may like, want and get the short one-and-a-half, but you’re not gonna need them. In what should be a theme, take the over-41.
Tennessee (-1.5) @ Cincinnati – Things haven’t yet hit rock-bottom.
Buffalo @ Jacksonville (-8.5) – Losman’s playing? Don’t figure on the Bills scoring a lot.
Oakland @ Kansas City (-6) – The Chiefs are on a kaiser roll.
Houston @ Cleveland (-3.5) – Just take a look at where this game is.
Seattle (-3) @ St. Louis – The Lambs winning ways stop here.
New Orleans @ Carolina (+3) – ST will finally be happy. I gua-roun-tee it.
Washington @ Tampa Bay (-3) – The Bucs D is back.
San Francisco @ Arizona (-10.5) – It’s a good thing bionics isn’t yet illegal in the NFL; otherwise, Warner would still be bagging groceries.
Baltimore (+10) @ San Diego – Remember, it’s NOOOOOOOO!rv Turner’s “offense” that’s giving the long 10.
Philadelphia @ New England (-23) – The good news is there are only 3 more opportunities for Olbermann to snag the Pats. The bad is that means they have 2 more national appearances already guaranteed. Take the over-50.5, and take the Pats to bust that by themselves.
Miami @ Pittsburgh (-16.5) – The only question is, will Ricky come out to get stoned by the Steel Curtain?

And something I’m not thankful for

An fugly week in the NFL:

Carolina 17 @ Green Bay 31 (-10) – Rollin’ past the trap game.
Oakland 29 (+5) @ Minnesota 22 – Unfortunately, the vet back was well-rested.
NY Giants 16 (-3) @ Detroit 10 – Add one more “Down goes Kitna!”
Chicago 23 @ Seattle 30 (-6) – Grossman’s Stinky Fingers survive another week.
San Diego 17 @ Jacksonville 24 (-3) – The Bolts are just not giving LT enough touches.
Kansas City 10 @ Indianapolis 13 (-15) – Is it just me, or do the Dolts suck too?
Cleveland 33 @ Baltimore (+3-TIE) – Unfortunately for me, it was Kyle Boller instead of Smith.
Tampa Bay 31 (-3) @ Atlanta 7 – Make that long gone.
Arizona 35 @ Cincinnati 27 (-3.5) – Why do I insist on betting on the BunGALs?
Miami 7 @ Philadelphia 17 (-10-TIE) – Once again, the backup to Mr. Overrated saves the day.
New Orleans 10 (pick’em) @ Houston 23 – Welcome back, Mr. Schaub.
Pittsburgh 16 (-10) @ NY Jets 19 – The good news; 6 kickoffs for Pittsburgh. The bad; 2 start-of-quarter ones, and 3 after field goals.
Washington 23 @ Dallas 28 (-11.5-LOSS) – The only ones to show up were Romo and Owens.
St. Louis 13 @ San Francisco 9 (+3) – At least I told you to take the under.
New England 56 (-16.5) @ Buffalo 10 – It’s just getting ridiculous.
Tennessee 20 (+2) @ Denver 34 – Where does Shanahan find these backs?

6-8-2 on the week keeps that .500 barrier unshattered at 73-76-11, while the vig continues to catch up to the over/under portion of the program (13-8-1).

Things I’m thankful for

by @ 8:16. Filed under Miscellaneous.

– God, for sending his Son Jesus Christ to live the perfect life I can’t, die the death I deserve, and rise again so I may be justified in His sight.
– The blesings that He provides.
– My family (dunno how the grilling’s going to work with the cold wind though).
– The US military, for standing up and defending the greatest country in human history.
– The few politicians willing to say, “No more spending” and “No more taxes”.
– The many more, if still too few, people willing to tell those politicians, “No more.”
– My health.
– High-speed internet (unlike Jim, I don’t quite go all the way back to 300 baud; I got in at 1200, though some boards were still stuck at 300).
– The Packers for proving me wrong.
– The Brewers for one heck of a ride this year (look out in 2008, NL).
– Blogging friends, both those I’ve met and those I haven’t yet.
– Labatt Maximum Ice (7.1% alcohol in a lager has that swing).
– Walleye.
– Too many other things to list.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
