alright, now that we seem to have a thread for week-to-week picks n' such, i'll throw my hat in the ring for week five (edit: okay, now that the packers are finishing picking bear meat out of their teeth, i'll make my last two picks):
Cardinals @ Cowboys
i hate bill parcells for making the cowboy respectable this quick.
Broncos @ Chiefs
if this were at denver, i would have gone with the broncos.
Vikings @ Falcons
is vick healthy yet? no? vikings go 5-0.
Raiders @ Bears
super bowl hangover? take a pair of chargers and bears games and call me in the morning.
Titans @ Patriots
titans are playing surprisingly well. i'll go with them.
Lions @ 49ers
honestly, half of me says this won't fly, but i'd like t.o. to eat a bit more crow and have a few more temper tantrums (tantra?) before i start pickin' the niners again.
Browns @ Steelers
going with the home town steelers. i've always liked couch better than holcomb, but i think maddox and zeroue (sp?) will score more.
Bengals @ Bills
bills have a better chance of getting off the slide than the bengals have winning back-to-back on the road.
Dolphins @ Giants
tough, tough game to call. if this game were later int he year (i.e. cold), then i would give it to nyg. but as it is, with miami coming off a bye, i'll go with the 'phins.
Saints @ Panthers
panthers have shown no signs of slowing down. saints have shown no signs of starting up.
Seahawks @ Packers
i get the feeling i am going to regret thiss, but i am goin to pick green bay. solid showing against that high school team that plays in chicago, plus it's at home (and a long trip for the seahawks).
Redskins @ Eagles
sigh. okay, i'll start picking the eagles again. plus, they're at home.
Colts @ Buccaneers
yes, colts destroyed the saints. but everyone except the texans have destroyed the saints this year so far. bucs coming off bye. there may be some let up in this game as it is non-divisional and non-conference. i'll go with my bucs.
This is why I prefer new threads . . . more energy more comments . . . .
mst I repost my picks
Oh . . . and Grover . . . Maddox is pretty good . . . when he is being intercepted
yeah, i feel the same way, but SOMEONE had to start issuing next week's picks ahead of time. i decided to give the perpetual thread a shot, but it seems to have stagnated. i wanted to have the new weekly threads spawned closer to the weekends for a bit more energy and anticipation.
By the way, Tarrel Owens should by fined for his Unsportsman like conduct. Very unbecoming of a professional . . .and a millionaire . . .
Hey, its a game: look at the history of play and game and you see the whole origin of the notion of a 'gentleman': honor and valor were all part of the game in ancient cultures.... 'virtue' gets its origin in Greek culture in one's ability to play honorably and to win . . but if one loses one still plays honorably . . . shares the root of 'virility'

I'd say trade him, but this isn't baseball, and trades are exceedingly rare. Plus he's gunna be a free agent, but maybe, just maybe we can get a contender to take him in exchange for a draft pick or something...
Owens is great because he's the most physical receiver in the entire league, and he's crazy fast, but his hands and attitude are crap.

I can count about 5 or 6 receivers I would want ahead of Owens. Until he learns to shut that yap and be a team player, he'll never be the best wideout in the league. Too bad...he has all the tools.
Imagine if Miami had a real quarterback...I think Chris Chambers could quite possibly be the best receiver in the league. He has the athleticism of Moss with hands rivaling Carter and is a team player with a good work ethic. If Griese ever starts we might see some very special things out of Chambers in the coming years.
Its earlu but it feels loke there might be sme dissapointments this week: the packers are plauing well and Denver just scored first . . . personally, though I like Portis I don't like Denver not do I like the Packers . . .
Seattle's Defense looked pretty weak. The Packers looked like a real team . . . ugh, just think about it "cheeseheads" . . . the double ententres just turn my stumach
Chiefs pull off a miracle (listened to this game while watching the Packers game) Daunte Hall is truly amazing.
For some reason the Lions game is not showing here in Wisconsin though they are in the same division as the Packers and its not on NFL Prepass either . . . damn, I was locking forward to it . . . oh well . . . they're losing big time anyway . . .

This is the game I'm most excited about today. Can't wait to see The Revenge of Mariucci?.
. and, Atlanta is up by 6
(though he spells Sean wrong)
I guess the Seahawks are the real-thing
ya, they suck....but I love 'em ('til the bitter end)
GO CUBS TOO !!
Chiefs pull off a miracle (listened to this game while watching the Packers game) Daunte Hall is truly amazing.
I'm 8 - 1 in the morning games! WOO HOO!
