Week Four
Last Week: 2-1-0 (I‘ll take it)
Season: 4-3-2
Aside from my mind meld with Emma, Mike Pfeffeffefferer’s dog, the most popular Nix Pix radio segment from 2006 was on local political types. The difference this time is I’m going to make the words fit the picks instead of finding games to fit the words so I might actually win this time. I’m kicking myself for not pursuing a Jock of the Rock with Floyd and Van Mun as my guests and steal some of that Lisa Politico thunda.
Oakland @ Miami -4
Yes, I said Darth Vadar is Carolyn Floyd’s father and I’m sticking to it. Or was it Al Davis? Doesn’t the Dutchman look like Han Solo with the bandana around his neck? Anywho, Trent Green is getting less respect than either of the two running for mayor in 2007 and you can add me to the list. I think Smokin’ Joe could take snaps for the Fins and have more success this year. Speaking of no respect, Culpepper gets the nod finally for the silver and black as he faces his last team (I still consider the Vikings his old team). So do they know him or does he know them? Either way it figures to be close and that’s why I’m taking (but not proud of it)….
Nick’s Pick: RAIDERS
Houston -3 @ Atlanta
Another game with a player facing his old team, in this case its “Don’t Call Me Charles” Schaub. What does Berman call him? With Michael Vick gone it seems the Falcons may regret having let the now Houston QB go. Dirty Bird fans should have had Proposition 7 in place to prevent them from moving their highly touted back-up in case Vick did something less than ethical/legal/Vick. This game should be a dogfight but I have to go with the Texans over John Joseph Harrington the Oregon Assassin aka JH-3 aka Duckboy.
Nick’s Pick: TEXANS
MNF: New England -7 @ Cincinnati
When I think Jerome “Not The Bus” Selby I usually think about his big-eyed beautiful daughter Tyan who got married this summer. Now that she is off the market I suppose I can attach a new image to the Borough Mayor- The Patriots. Yes, because they are both unopposed. You always hear somebody say they aren’t happy with a certain elected official and Big J is no exception however who is the last person to run against him? Dennis Murray? So who would be Bengals in this match-up? I know Van Mun has been in jail before so he’d qualify. He told me so, really, at a party, I’m not kidding, serious. Perhaps D.A.V M. should have got on the other ballot. And Super Dave, if you are out there, way to not show up to The Round Table today letting down millions of your fans. If Tom Brady and gang falter will will be traced back to a fan in Kodiak, Alaska who failed to be there when it counted.
Nick’s Pick: PATRIOTS
