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.
I join GBfan and Patrick (among others) in endorsing Dan Vrakas over Jim “The Liar” Dwyer. I only wish I could vote in this, but the last time I checked, Oak Creek wasn’t in Waukesha County and I’m not a ‘Rat.
For those of you in Waukesha County, remember, “Vote V for Victory”, and “A vote for Dwyer is a vote for Doyle”.
Time to start reviewing what is already a big-money weekend (this will be updated with the Sunday night/Monday night games when they’re played):
Miami 13 @ Tampa Bay (-4) 27 – Rushing yards – Chambers 25, Frerotte 9, Williams 8.
Minnesota 3 @ Chicago 28 (-3) – The NFC North is still winless on the road.
Carolina 21 (+1) @ Detroit 20 – There’s still hope; Duh Lions’ non-division win is also outside of the conference.
NY Giants @ Dallas (-3.5-LOSS) – …but he’s good enough to screw my line.
Atlanta 34 (-5.5-LOSS) vs New Orleans @ San Antonio – They came oh-so-close to taking this thing overtime, but losers get called for defensive holding on field goals.
Cincinatti 31 (-3) @ Tennessee 23 – Who knew the BenGALS were this good?
Cleveland 3 @ Baltimore 16 (-6) – So I was a bit off on the final. I wasn’t off on who would score how many times.
Jacksonville 23 (+3) @ Pittsburgh 17 (OT) – I was right; Charlie Freaking Batch didn’t score them…because he didn’t play.
Washington 21 @ Kansas City 28 (-6) – I’ll take my Deadskins medium-well.
NY Jets 17 @ Buffalo 27 (-3) – If I were greedy, I would have taken the over.
San Diego (-1.5) @ Oakland – Did I not tell you to run, not walk to take advantage of this mistake in the line?
New England 20 @ Denver 28 (-3) – Difference between this week and last; Denver realized that the Prevent defense only prevents victories before they blew the line.
Houston 10 @ Seattle 42 (-9.5) – I should’ve taken the over.
St Louis 28 (+13.5) @ Indianapolis 45 – At least I took the over, and turned it into some cracktion.
With that, I wrap up a 11-3 record against the line (50-38-2 on the year), and a 14-0 romp straight-up.
Revisions/extensions – #1-I added the Sunday Night win; I’m now 11-2 against the line and 13-0 straight-up.
#2-Threw in the MNF game and the wrap-up.
The vacation from politics, like the great weather this weekend, couldn’t last forever. With major hat tips to Captain Ed at Captain’s Quarters and Sean of TAM, we find out from Time that the White House has changed its strategy on Miers’ nomination. They’re now going to bring up her “experience dealing with such real-world issues as the Voting Rights Act when she was a Dallas city council member and Native American tribal sovereignty when she was chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission.”
I don’t know about the latter issue (if someone from Texas stumbling through here can enlighten me, please do so), but that VRA “experience” isn’t exactly reflective of a conservative philosophy. The 10/11 OpinionJournal Best of the Web has already started the process of deciphering that. Oops.
