Pretty sad week for my pick-ums. Right now I am 3-8 straight up and 4-7 against the spread.

Whelp, im going to raise a glass here to be the first to say that Ta'amu probably just ended his NFL Career. Heres to hoping that the Steelers Re-activate Kelvin Beachum and bring in a guy like Tommie Harris (If he's still a Free Agent).

Oh god. I went under .500 yesterday, despite my upset picks being correct. There were just a lot of underdog victories. Knew I should have picked the 'hawks.

I'm really looking forward to you lot coming to Soldier Field next weekend. I wish the first game was in Detroit, though, so we'd have a dome team coming to Chicago on 30 December. Should be a cracking game either way.

That's always fun, especially when it's a southern team like the Saints or the Falcons. It's hard to tell who's more uncomfortable, the players or the fans that made the trek to sit in an open stadium and be exposed to this white flaky stuff called snow.

I was at a Bears-Packers game a few years back, it must have been either the last or second to last game of the year, with the temperature below zero and the wind chill at something ungodly. Hurray for a socially acceptable reason to be wear my blaze orange coveralls out and about in public!

I think Scott Fujita(shame the Saints let him go, especially these days) hits the nail on the head, not just with regards to himself, but to the Saints as a whole.

Roger Goodell needs to be fired and I think should be considered for a new title: Worst Commissioner Ever.

Personally, I think he was just afraid that the first hometeam-Superbowl could've been in such a small market as New Orleans and set out to destroy any chance of that happening. If it was in Dallas or New York you wouldn't see any of this bullshit.

Saints fans and Raiders fans.

They think everything's a goddamn conspiracy.

Don't believe me? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made the Wild Card in 2000 when the Super Bowl was going to be held at Raymond James Stadium without any rash of suspensions or other league interference. Small market team with a shot at a home-field Super Bowl, still didn't make it in spite of being a pretty damn good team.
