NFL Week 6 Picks
Either this is an easy week to pick or we’re all walking into a trap. We all agree on 7 of the 14 game this weekend and have a consensus for most others. The only game we’re split on is the Falcons-Chargers, or what could be billed as Battle of the Potential Frauds. Both teams come in with good records but unimpressive games. We’ll see how it shakes out.

I shed a tear for the Cubs fans, but what about the other 21 teams who missed the playoffs?

Mercy Please! It’s playoff time.
As of late, my life includes little suspense. The next silicone blonde to get the axe on the bachelor or the vegetables rotting at the bottom of my fridge haven’t exactly kept my nights restless.

Season in review: Chicago Cubs
On paper, this club looked untouchable. They had the best starting five in all of baseball, and had great power hitters to put runs on the scoreboard. Defensively, this team looked solid, and their manager, Dusty Baker, was one of the best in the game. The Cubs made all the right off-season moves acquiring a great defensive first baseman and solid hitter, Derek Lee (also a World Champion), and Todd Walker from the Red Sox. Too bad games aren’t played on paper–the Cubs would’ve won a long time ago.
The Gators hopes of salvaging the lost season go through Jacksonville and their showdown with the Bulldogs, but that is only the beginning of the start.

A Powerful Athlete Now Gone
Monday morning, 2am, the news comes through over ESPNews that Ken Caminiti, a former NL MVP has passed away at the age of 41. Shocking news before even more shocking news that Christopher Reeves has also passed on. Two great people not living on this earth anymore. It’s a shame that when you think of a man like Caminiti, 6 feet tall, 200 lbs, that you see this powerful athlete in tip top condition only to have his life taken away by a heart attack.
Defending the BCS to the best of my ability.
Yes, you read the title correctly. No, I am not high (I think). My goal is to defend the BCS, a crime so serious that if I lived in Texas I would get lethal injection. In California, I’d get mobbed and beaten and bruised up by all the USC fans. Even West Virginia and Louisiana hold their grudges for Marshall and Tulane, both of whom ran the table, and played in the Motor City Bowl and Liberty Bowl respectively.
