I liked how they introduced her, like "her mother died in an insane asylum thinking she was Queen Victoria" and my thought was, I like where I think this is going. I was not disappointed.

No, No, that's when everyone briefly checks in with the Bruins and Celtics to see what their playoffs hopes are, and if they are good, they will become HUGE FANS again.  THEN, it's spring training.  

Or, at least that's how it goes in Maine.

So they DON'T overturn cars there when the Red Sox or Patriots lose? (Or win...depending on the game.)

Up here?  Oh no.  They'll call up the local sports station and bellyache, or it will become part of the witty small-talk banter at the office, but the Maine, New England/Boston sports fans don't get THAT worked up about it.  They'll just drink down their coffee brandy and go to sleep.

With the exception of the Chiefs game they were all pretty damn good games this weekend.

That's for sure.  Mrs LMNO normally doesn't care that much about non-Pats games, but this weekend the TV was on ESPN or the games most of the day.

Well, that didn't go quite how I envisioned. :lulz:

OK, my picks for next weekend:

SEAHAWKS over BEARS: Anytime you can bet on Jay Cutler to choke in a big game in front of a home crowd in bad weather, don't you HAVE to do it?

PACKERS over FALCONS: I keep trying to talk myself into the Falcons, but I've just been waiting for a team that looks like it's getting the hot hand to emerge. Now that GB seems to have found a running game again, they're that team.

PATRIOTS over JETS: But it's gonna be close. The Jets' D-line will cause some disruption in NE's game plan. I'm thinking this one ends up being something along the lines of 21-17.

STEELERS over RAVENS: This is the hardest game to pick. I want to pick the Ravens but it's hard to bet against Roethlisraper in a big game at home. Steelers win in the first game to test the NFL's new playoff OT rules, 26-20.

After this past weekend I may never make picks again. Ever.

Speaking of which, there's a pretty interesting piece about the unintended ramifications of the OT rules here.

Good article, lots to think about. I am not sure that is fair to the coaches.

On the college football front, I just got back from Arizona an I'm pleased that I finally got to see an Auburn championship in my lifetime.

I don't think Atlanta is going to win this one.  :lol:

Belicheck apparently has a hatred of puns shared with some of this board.

He benched Wes Welker for the first quarter, after making a bunch of foot related puns in an interview.

Could there be 2 wild card teams in the super bowl?
