The Daily Sports Rant

A recurring theme here.  Been totally buried at work.  Ughh
Hope you guys are having a good ramp up to Holiday Season.
In the past eeks, my Steelers won a cardiac game against the Boys and the Jets have dropped 2 in a row.  Are they for real or what.
Steelers play a bloody match against Ravens this week on the road.  [...]

Hey, a win is a win. Jets now 7 -3 (who woulda thunk it) with an OT win (revenge) against the Patriots last night 34 – 31. Oh, yeah and they blew an 18 point lead, including a 2 point conversion and last second touchdown to tie the game. You cannot kill [...]

They always say don’t believe half of what you hear and none of what you read.  This is the setup.  Rumor has it that Brett the Jet Favre had a lengthly convo with Matt Millen dissecting the entire Green Bay Packer’s game plan.
First Brett retires last year.  Accolades are delivered and tears are shed.  John [...]

Ok, so I went 8 – 6 in my Week #6 picks last week.  Not too bad and as forecasted by me, I would be over the .500 mark this week (Barely, but its a start)…
Just a few comments on last week. Really shocked that the Giants lost the way they did to the [...]

Dear Eli Manning, 3 interceptions is not going to get it done for your previously ranked #1 NY Giants in their embarrassing loss to your Cleveland Browns 35 – 14 on Sunday.  Ouch.  At least Plax was back in action and caught a beautiful corner pass from Eli (ala Super Bowl)…
At least Jet Favre and [...]

Ok, only 5 wins from my predicitons this week but a really off week in general. In my real pool, only 8 wins got the job done.
The thing that is really surprising me this early NFL season (hey 1/4 done already – Booo), is who is at the top and the bottom.
Buffalo and Tennesse are [...]

Ok, I was wrong on most accounts (final score, spread, points that Jets would score), but I did pick the winner, which is still no easy task.  Forgive me.
Did I mention I was 3 – 0 on my Picks of the Week?
The Jets running game was grounded most of the 48 – 29 loss against [...]

Fearless Prediction:
Chargers 24
Jets 17
Jets have always been a thorn in the side to Chargers whenever they have played them.  With Shawn Merriman out with knee surgery and LT2 with a toe injury, the Bolts are nowhere near 100%, but they still have weapons and their D is solid.  And at 0-2, they will be desperados…
Expect [...]

My Week #2 Picks are below.  I am going really heavy on the home teams.  Not just becase they are home but this could shape up as a trap week for a few teams feeling pretty confident out of week #1 (Bears, Falcons, Packers, Jets, etc.)
2 Must See Games this Week..  SMILE!!!

#1- Pats vs. Jets (-2.5)  All the [...]

Ok gamers.  Went 10 – 6 this week.  Not bad but only 1 -2 on my Locks of Week.  Ouch.  Still finished .600 baby..Will send out Week 2 later this week.  Keep the momentum going.
Aaron Rodgers of Packers really impressed me, especially since he was under the glaring lights of MNF and the spectre of [...]
