NFL 2009 Season Week 7 Picks

Anyone realize that the Eagles scored fewer points than the Phillies did last Sunday? I still think they'll win this game though.

Also, I noticed that I only picked 3 of the home teams this week. I wouldn't say I did that intentionally, but it does seem strange that that would be the case.

We'll see how that works out for ya. I heard it's 80 in Florida right now. We're engulfed in a blizzard. Hurrah!

it's huzzah.

Harrah's?

History lesson. This exclamation dates back at least to the Civil War. It shows up in a number of contexts from that time.

According to Wikipedia, it dates back to at least Shakespeare's time, and I was using the North American version, which is where I'm from, so no need to correct me.

Sarah was right about Huzzah being dated back in Shakespearean time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huzzah
and also right about the north American version "hurrah"

Maybe the winner of this game should get to be the nation's capital until the next time they meet. It could be an ongoing thing.

This made me chuckle, but to be fair New York should also get a shot to reclaim it's title.

I like how all the FOX announcers picked the 49ers as their upset pick... how's that workin' out for them? (or for me for that matter?)

Matt, what the hell happened to ur stupid pathetic vikings huh? I wouldnt cheer for the Minnesota Vikings for a million dollars and a chance to kick Favre in the balls.

Hey JFK - what happened to your picks?

Leon Washington's out for the year... my poor Jets

I will say that this is blasphemous

It's hard to say whether or not the Vikings "deserved" to win or lose (or the Steelers for that matter), but that is probably one of the worst ways to lose a game. They had multiple opportunities to tie or go ahead, and they weren't exactly being stupid with play calling or anything. Favre's fumble may have been avoidable, but the pocket collapsed around him and he probably never saw the guy that knocked the ball away (and it wasn't like he was necessarily being careless with the football necessarily). The interception should go on Chester Taylor's stats, because that was a perfectly thrown screen pass that he short-armed. All-in-all, while I'm glad the Vikings lost since now the Packers are just 1.5 games back, I actually felt a little sympathy for the Vikings after that one. But then I stopped.

utter disgust
