On Sunday, the Eagles got killed by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just absolutely demolished. But when you turn on the television, you won’t get any insights into why the Eagles were beaten in every facet of the game. Instead, what you will be treated to is replay after replay of Terrell Owens jawing at McNabb on the sideline. The media has been waiting 8 weeks for this to happen, and by golly, they are the biggest rats.

Week 8 NFL Picks
Tough tough week last week for the Sportscolumn crew. When we were wrong, we were wrong across the board. Dolphins? Bengals? Lions? How in holy hell did these teams pull those upsets? Well, we dusted ourselves off and are back to give you this week’s sure fire guaranteed can’t miss picks.

NFL Week 3 Picks
[These are the 2004 Picks. Get the Week 3 2006 Picks here.]
Last week the Sportscolumn staff picked 64% of the games right. Overall, our record is 62% right. That’s not setting any records but we’re still beating the “experts” at ESPN.com who are picking only 59%. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather get more right and not have to look at that that smug bastard, Merrill Hoge. In any case, here are the week 3 picks.
Remember last week how I compared beating the Giants to beating a retard at checkers? Well, this week, Mike Tice and his short bus came to town. Don’t get me wrong, the Vikings are a very very talented team, especially on offense. But Tice and his coaching staff (with some help from a flustered Culpepper and The Phreak) managed to drive that bus right off a cliff.

What a difference a week makes! Last week, no one gave the Packers a chance to win their Monday night matchup against Carolina and this week, no one is willing to touch the Panthers with a ten foot pole. Meanwhile all of us are picking Green Bay to beat the Bears. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of games we still disagree on. Here are your Week 2 picks, served piping hot.

The Week 1 Roundup: Lessons Learned
Opening day of the NFL season is probably the second best day in all of sports; number 1 being the first round of the NCAA tourney, which actually spans two days, but you know what I mean. So, instead of doing my usual post-game Eagles analysis, I’m going to cover the entire week 1. I couldn’t watch every game but with Sunday Ticket and by the grace of God, I was able to watch a hell of a lot of football.

Fantasy Football Draft Rules
This is Fantasy Football week at Sportscolumn.com. I just got back from a weekend in Vegas for my first live Fantasy Football draft and I’m all fired up. We’ve had this fantasy football league for about 7 years now but this year we decided to step it up and have a live draft in Las Vegas. I tell you what, there is nothing more fun than talking trash during a draft when most of the participants have been drinking for the last 12 hours.
All this week, I will be publishing fantasy football related columns including a recap of my draft but today, I am giving you my updated Rules of the Fantasy Draft. Stick to these drafting axioms and you will come out on top.

Jennie Finch vs Maria Sharapova
As the Olympic Games begin, there are two events we are focused on. #1 is the Men’s basketball team and whether they’ll be able to bring home the gold. #2 is, simply, Jennie Finch. Not USA Womens Softball. Just Jennie Finch.
Call me shallow but when it comes to womens sports, the first thing I want to know is, “is she hot?”… quickly followed by “is she hotter than the last flavor of the month”. (Terrell Owens has never said “If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat” about me.)
The last hot athlete we had on SC was Maria Sharapova. So the obvious question is this: Jennie Or Maria?

Defending Ricky Williams
So Run Ricky Run… straight into retirement after 5 years. He says he just wants to be free and happy. A lot of people are muttering “jackasss!”, but in my humble opinion, he is making a great decision. There are only two types of people who can be mad at Ricky Williams for deciding to retire a week before training camp, the Miami Dolphins organization, including their fans, and any Fantasy Football owners who have already completed their draft. The rest are just jealous.
