I’m taking a break from the re-design of this website (which should be done in the next day or so). Ok folks, here’s how I’ve done so far!

Okay, the real reason my posts are so slow is because I’m working on a re-design for this website. I know I should try to get a few more posts up, but come next week, this won’t be an issue. I’ve missed discussing the Tigers woes, my opinion on Rich Rodriguez and my Wolverines, and the decline of the overrated Ohio State Buckeyes. Have no fear my fellow readers…

I (and my commentary) will soon be back with all the sarcastic wit an snarkiness you love to hate.

That being said, I was disappointed with my:

Week One NFL Football Picks where I went 5-11
Week Two was better when I went 7-8

Now, on to my week three picks. I hope you enjoy them and please feel free to post your own picks in my comment section! I’m looking to award a gift of some sort to the person who posts the most accurate picks this NFL season, so to win that prize, get posting!

Carolina vs. Minnesota

Winner: Carolina

While Carolina almost didn’t make it last week, I’m sticking with em!

Kansas City vs. Atlanta

I’m betting my money at Atlanta. The Chiefs suck and Atlanta has seen some success with their QB pick, Matt Ryan.

Winner: Atlanta

Oakland vs. Buffalo

I underestimated both Buffalo and Oakland last week. Buffalo beat a semi-decent team while Oakland took on another sucky team. Guess who wins?

Winner: Buffalo

Tampa Bay vs. Chicago

Tough pick considering both seem to be mediocre teams.

Winner: Chicago

Houston vs. Tennessee

Though I don’t like either teams, this one is a no-brainer.

Winner: Tennessee

Cincinnati vs. NY Giants

I’d love for the Bengals to prove me wrong, but I’m going with the “smart” choice.

Winner: NY Giants

Miami vs. New England

The Patriots managed to hang on for just long enough to win without Tom Brady the last game, but their luck will run out when they face the Chads.

Winner: Miami

I know I’m almost a day late and a dollar short, but the games haven’t begun yet. I had a busy week. I apologize and promise to start posting with more frequency soon. I’m working on an overhaul for this site, so expect many new things cropping up in the next few weeks.

That being said, let’s get to my picks!

Note: I don’t have much time to write about each team. Just know I haven’t underestimated those teams that made something of themselves last week.

Sunday, Sep 14

Tennessee vs Cincinnati

Winner: Cincinnati

Buffalo vs Jacksonville

Winner: Jacksonville

Oakland vs Kansas City

Winner: Kansas City

Indianapolis vs Minnesota

Winner: Indianapolis

He’s in. He’s out. He’s in. He’s out. He’s in?! Brett Favre, who made a big deal earlier this year by hosting a press conference in which he balled like a baby, is speaking out again. This time he’s talking about the future of the Packers.

This guy has retired more times than Elizabeth Taylor has tied the knot. No seriously. For the past five or so years, Favre gets all emotional. He talks (or should I say whines because that’s a more accurate assessment) about how he’s going to retire. Then he shows up again and plays for the Packers. The cheeseheads just cannot seem to get rid of this guy and though they seem to like having him around, I can’t see why.

He’s old. He’s washed up. He’s not as good as he used to be. Ultimately, he’s not going to be an asset to the Packers in the way a new, younger QB could be. He’s had his shining moments and now its time to move on. I didn’t buy his little speech and tears about retiring. I called it. I said, “Oh, he’ll try and come back” and now, he is.

Favre spoke to the Biloxi Sun Harold recently and this is what he had to say about returning if the Packers came knocking on his door, begging him to come back.

“It would be hard to pass up, I guess. But three months from now, say that presents itself, I may say, you know what, I’m so glad I made that decision. I feel very comfortable in what I’m doing and my decision. Yeah, I can probably be up there doing that and playing, but again, I don’t know. It’s only speculating. I think the world of that team. I had a lot of fun, not only this year, but over my career.”
