The Best

How are the bowl picks going?

Let's see. Three so far. Must have it written down somewhere. Oh. Here it is. We're 3-0, with two underdogs covering, easy as you please.

Thanks for asking.

Here are the best dozen of the pros at the moment.

12. Denver. Incomplete passing fancy.

11. Baltimore. Shouts a good game

10. Green Bay. Favre feeling his decades.

9. Eagles. Can't win at Dallas.

8. New England. Brady has gone high society.

7. Minnie. Peterson has hit a wall (the backsides of his offensive line).

6. San Diego. What has the coach won? Oh, here is that note. Nothing.

5. Cincy. Sleeper.

4. New Orleans. Has disaster waiting to happen -- average OU field goal kicker!

3. Dallas. Corners a concern.

2. Indy. Ho hum, another 15 straight completions.

1. Zona. Anybody can pick the obvious.

Mr. Picker, if one looks at your article for week # 16 one doesn't get teh idea that you are 3 - 0.  Is that a figment of your imagination or is it written some here?

Uhm, you did hear that Favre is no longer playing for Green Bay, right?  Ditto for the Jets...  He hands off the ball to Peterson.

Once again, Jay, you show that not only are you controversial, you also are an idiot!!  Re New Orleans having to use "an average OU field goal kicker", does "average" in your feeble mind mean Hartley's "20 of 21 career NFL field goals" (with the only miss being from 57 yards!)??  Facts, Jay, facts  ---  try them, you may like them!!

Picker...the Favre comment reminds me...I think I'm a year or two younger than you so I have total loss of memory to look forward to! Thinks a lot.
