I mean, damn. Indy sucked, like sucked a LOT. Sucked more than I can blame Jensen for, so I guess she's off the hook. This is what I get for trying to force an upset into a weekend when one just didn't fit.

So let this be a lesson to you all. In week one I took a bath following my "Every team from Missouri is overrated" axiom. While it did prove helpful in week two, it was probably aided by the "never bet against a healthy Mike Vick playing in a dome" theorem. In week two, I took a bath by maintaining that there must be an upset in each of the first two weekends of playoff football. Hrmmm, had I followed that in week one I might still be in this whole thing. Oh well. Just more proof that there are no absolutes in the playoffs.

Now, if only I could get Don Cheadle to say that on tape.

Right, so this weekend's games. I missed the J-E-T-S JETS! loss to the Steelers. Though, by what I hear it sounds like in the end Al's boys got tired of trying to lose the game. "Shit, if we keep handing the game to these assclowns and they keep choking, I guess vacation's going to have to wait a week or two."

Atlanta and St. Louis answered that age old question "What would football look like if there were no such thing as defense?" I tell you what. Play that game outdoors on a sunny day and ATL's D holds the Rams scoreless. Holy shit did the Rams look bad. Not just overrated- downright shitty. I'm looking forward to their trip next week to Illadelph.

Wow, did Philly look good yesterday. I like these boys and I think Steve may be right- this is their year to at least not look like idiots in the NFC title game. They're the first team to host it three years in a row and it's their fourth year in the game. I think DFM and the People's Champ are going to surprise a lot of people. Man, Minny, what the hell were you even doing out there?

But the crown for WTF belongs to the Colts. Cuz seriously, WTF? How could you be THAT bad? I was embarrassed to have thought you could have won that game. I mean, damn. Just terrible. Nena and Ulli curse you as well. We wasted so much of our lives watching that game. It was almost as bad as ... no, nothing's that bad. Not even this game.

Anyway, expect next week's picks 'round about Thursday. Yeah, Al thinks they're a total crapshoot and I'm tempted to agree with her.
