A Million Aplogies & NFL Week 3

A million apologies to all of you for being basically defunct recently. Life has a habit of getting in the way of inspiration sometimes and, needless to say, I haven't been too inspired lately. Hopefully I can get some momentum here and stick around. Wouldn't that be fun. Here's some super random stuff about the first few weeks of NFL and maybe some other fun stuff.

-It's been two weeks since Tom Brady went down and the James McDonagh justices of conscience have reached a ruling: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH... (deep breath) HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA... (chokes on own laughter) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... ha! I know it's somewhat unethical to take joy from the pain of others but (holding back snickers) god damn that's some good karma! I'll tell you one thing: Tom Brady will NEVER EVER EVER abandon a child again! You can't say he didn't have it coming. If you wish to join the Bernard Pollard fan club you can find it here

- The Giants are looking might good right now. I know we've only faced the lowly Redskins and Rams but wins are wins and they all looked to be catching their strides by the second half last week. It's no fluke that ESPN has them ranked #3 right now. It feels good to start this way but there's a lot of work ahead for the G-Men. Our upcoming games are: Bengals, Seahawks, Browns, and 49ers. We could very easily go 6-0. The thing is we might need to if we want to make the playoffs. After the cakewalk we've got a gauntlet of the Steelers and division games. It will be tough but it looks good for Big Blue right now. Hopefully we fight with the Eagles and Cowboys for NFC Easy supremacy all year and lead into a crazy playoffs. 

- What The Packers? Aaron Rodgers looks totally legit. I feel awesome for naming them one of my surprise teams. Not so awesome is that I picked Minnesota to win the division in my bet with Ed. More to come on that later.

- Hell Yeah Buffalo! If they keep playing that way the Bills could easily find themselves in the AFC PLayoffs and  (GASPS!) they might even steal the AFC East from the Pats. There's a very real chance the Bills start the season 8-0. Check the schedule. I'm not saying you should plan for a Superbowl party in Buffalo or anything but it's nice to see the Bills in the thick if things like this. Marshawn Lynch is a beast.

- I'm still loving Favregate all day baby! I'll set the over/under at Week 15 for Favre crying on the sideline. Yes, I will discuss casual wagers. 

- Interesting development going on in Denver right now. Botched calls aside, the Broncos have pulled out two big wins and their offense looks like they eat radioactive isotopes for breakfast. I'm not sure they can keep up this kind of pace but as of right now they are the clear favourites in the AFC West and a few more good games will have right in the middle of Superbowl discussions.

- (yawning as I awake from my peaceful slumber) Cardinals are 2-0? That's nice. Wake me up when somebody, anybody, anywhere on earth actually thinks they'll make a difference this year. 

-I'm a little behind on this but I find it truly saddening to see this Vince Young drama play out. The guy clearly has some issues way beyond what happens on the football field. Career be damned, I just hope everything works out for Vince Young the person.

-Aaaaaaa too much NFL information to filter through. I'll try to get my head/life in order so we can have some clearer direction over here at HSWE. For now, I will jsut say enjoy yourself some football today. And if you're not into that, take a walk. It's gorgeous outside.

So, if you were going to pick two teams to win this week they'd be... (yes, I'm asking for a suicide pool).

I can predict this right now!!

Two teams to win on September 28th?

I'd say the Redskins and the Titans are fairly sure bets.

That being said, I am a gambler.
