Bitterness At Its Finest

Quick recap of last week's game left me one for four. The Ravens were the only team I picked that advanced to the next round. Congrats to Ray Lewis and the Ravens on their victory over the Colts. Unfortunately I have to pick against the Ravens this round since there is a "Manning" in the mix.

Hadn't had an opportunity to read or hear what's going on with RGIII since the game, but wishing him a healthy recovery. When I wished teams a healthy, injury free game, even though I picked them but don't like them, I was covering the Redskins too. *le sigh* See this NFC East fan has a heart, unlike some of my comrades. But I digress...

Back to the picks, so I'm thinking with the way my picks have been running, maybe I should pick the teams I actually want to lose to win. A little reverse "pickology", or maybe not. With that being said here are...

Sporty's Second Round Post Season Picks * insert drum roll*

Broncos over Ravens (I couldn't cheer the other way when there is a Manning on the field!)

Niners over Green Bay

Patriots over Texans (Sporty's Queasy Pick of the week. Just typing it turned my stomach.)

Falcons over Seahawks

If I chose your team this week, may the odds be in your... oh forget it! Bitterness is setting in and I could truly careless at this point who wins. Just looking forward to a few good close games. The kind I hated when my squad was in action, unless it ended with a "W" in our column. *insert evil grin*

We are getting closer and closer to the Super Bowl match up, so let me use this time to remind you that my squad, The New York Football Giants, are still the official reigning champions. With that being said,now that I am through, I can still throw in Go Big Blue!

Side note:Yes, I am definitely milking it, bitterness at its finest! Enjoy your games!

Out With A Bang!

Happy 2013 to all! The playoffs are upon us and I plan on enjoying an emotion-free playoff and Super Bowl run in New York Giants gear of course. Big shout out to my Gmen on a good season. They started off with a bang and sort of fizzled at the end, but it's all good. Well actually when I don't really think about it, it's all good.

The end of this season feels like being at an amusement park. After lasting through the highs, dips, and turns, you end it dizzy, giddy, and ready to get back in line for another ride! How many more months\hours\minutes before the new season kicks off?

 

Definitely an emotion roller coaster I've been riding for twenty-five years

Aye-Yi-Yi

Week 16 equally sucked as much as week 15 *insert le sigh*. Instead of being blown out, my Gmen were beaten to a pulp by the Ravens 33 - 14. A little pre-Merry Christmas to me. Half way through the game I started cleaning and organizing my room. If my Gmen couldn't stay focus, why should I? Basically within a couple of weeks my squad went from running the division, to being ran over! Straight road kill these last couple of games.

I've read blogs, listened to analysts as they attempt to figure out the reasons for the meltdown. "Who's to blame" seems to be the question that resonates with every word written or spoken. Let me tell you what I learned from all the different sources I've read. Are you ready? NOTHING! Nobody can truly explain it or understand it. The players and coaches can't truly explain it either. Hard to solve a problem when you have no clue what it is. Aye-yi-yi!

So now the Gmen are in a position where they need help to get to the playoffs. Aye-yi-yi! Vikings, Bears, and Cowboys must lose and the Giants must win to be in. Otherwise it's game over, actually season over to be more specific. I just shudder at that thought.

It ain't over, not yet...

Happy Family, Food, and Football Day

I still find it hard to believe that Thanksgiving is here! It is amazing how quickly time flies! Family, food, and football is an awesome combination! I'm not sure what will be more exciting the battles on the television or the battles from fans in the family as they support their squads. Either way I will enjoy pushing back from the table and watching the drama unfold.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY

Doubt Brings Them Out

Week 6 action was fantastic! Let's start with the most important game of the week, drum roll please...the Gmen and the Niners. The Niners went into week 6 heavily favored over the Gmen and heavily praised for past performances. This was to be the rematch to the playoffs "L" the Gmen handed them last season. Revenge was the gameplan, yada, yada, yada, the Niners were chosen for the win. Needless to say the Gmen always play better with a chip on their shoulder and they showed up and showed out in this game. As much as I hate the fact that NFL analysts don't "coo" and "awwww" over my squad like others *coughs the Pats* and *sneezes anybody else*, I always get nervous if we are ever heavily favored. Playing from behind seems to bring the Gmen out! Sort of letting the analysts know that their talk will not define Gmen play! YOU GO BOYS!!!

Confession: I was looking for an excuse to throw up an old T.I. song
