NFL Picks and ‘icks – Week 11
Long week this week so we haven’t had a chance to update the picks. We’ll get the selections on record before the 1pm games kickoff (now), and then try to fill in the piece later in the day if we can.
Suspended? Really? What is this, Russia?
Uhmm, this kid – suspended by his school for his radical new haircut – is welcome at dinner at my place whenever he wants. If he ever makes it to the NY area both he and his father are encouraged to join us at Phebe’s to watch the games. Especially his father:

Peter King – Not a Math Whiz
In his MMQB this week Peter King shockingly dismisses Bill Belichick’s decision to go for it on 4th down late in last night’s game as “I’m-smarter-than-they-are-hubris.” The title of his article goes so far as saying: “No Matter Which Way You Dissect It, Bill Belichick Made the Wrong Call.” What is especially amusing here, is [...]
NFL Picks and ‘icks – Week 10

Could it Be?
I know Peter King would faint on the spot if he heard this, but dare I suggest that the NFL world is tiring of Colts-Pats? I’m going to be honest I’ve been tired of the matchup for a few years now, but just assumed given all of the media attention and general continued excellence of [...]
NFL Musings – Week 9
And what a week it was in the NFL this past week; a week where we saw the ghosts of creamsicles past shock the Packers, the Broncos and Steelers be who the Flow thought they were, the Tribal Leaders launch one of the most excruciatingly irrelevant covers in recent memory, the Bears petition for Tennessee’s [...]
