The Hoser's NFL Picks, Week Twelve 2008: NFL picks that really miss Sarah Palin. Seriously. It was that whole Tina Fey "hot in glasses" thing.
Yer prolly right on with the Falcons/Panthers score. Jake needs to get his shit back together and Fox needs to run the ball in the second half. The Panthers finally, FINALLY, have a real running game, but Fox uses them only in the first half of the game. Grrrrrrr...

John Fox is coach of the year every year for making do the best he can with Jekyll & Hyde Delhomme. World beater one day, street sweeper the next. When he's healthy and in the lineup, that is.
If Carolina had a consistently adequate, noticeably above average QB to go with their run game and D, think of what they could do. They'd name a few of those Charlotte bank towers after Fox. Or maybe even a TV network.
Fox could win out using whichever QB Gruden didn't feel like using on any given week. Griese or Garcia, take your pick.
Speaking of Gruden, the Bucs must be thinking they're caught in a time machine. Before realignment, they were the warm weather doormat for the old Central division. This year, they must have played at least 4 teams that were in the Central division with them. Maybe they'll break out their old orange and white uniforms with Johnny Depp on the helmet. White cleated swashbucklers tiptoeing about on the frozen turf at Soldier Field. What an imposing sight that was, me lads. Dunkin Donuts versus Darth Vader. Harrr.

Beaverboard, I loved the orange uniforms. I've been trying to find a Brooks 55 orange jersey without success.
I have yet to see the Titans play this season. They are never on in the DC area. I want to see if they are as good as their record indicates.

Wow, considering the guy's recovering alcoholic, that's pretty shitty.
Would they write the same story about Saku Koivu having chemotherapy before every game to improve his performance?

Possible keys to the Titans success:
The rest of their division has suddenly gone soft. It was killer previously.
They are adequate enough to find a way to win every week. Remember during the Pats first run to glory a few years back when they just started winning every week with good but not overwhelming talent? I think it's kind of like that.
Albert Haynesworth. Recovering stompaholic. He is uncontainable at the moment.
This year's dream Super Bowl of redeemed second life QB's: Kerry Collins v. Kurt Warner.

Your right about Ocho Cinco, or is it Ocho Stinko.
