Liked pick em better, though.<br /><br />The Shane Falco analogy for MP is so apt that I'm speechless. In fact I can picture him scraping barnacles off the bottom of boats in the French Riviera as we speak. (Bonus question - what would lead to a FIWK labor dispute?? Haha I had fun imagining scenarios.)<br /><br />As for #5, CLEARLY what I meant is that Washington is going to remove the Cowboys' heart, grill that motherlover up on a Weber at midfield, then reinsert said steak - black and charred as you colorfully describe - right back into their empty heart cavity. This is a well known zombie destruction technique, right behind using cricket bats like Shaun of the Dead.Roycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026696036192099488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-77766521835985123812012-12-30T12:50:03.512-08:002012-12-30T12:50:03.512-08:00Royce,

He is currently scraping barnacles off the bottom of boats, staying sharp by throwing a fake football underwater to no one. But if we have a labor dispute Gene Hackman is bringing him in for a couple crazy, exciting wins.<br />3) I'm big enough of a man, that if MP led to a Lin-sanity type explosion of FIWK, I'd be ok with that.<br />4) No, you can't take the Chargers at a pick'em. But, I think I saw Simmons list the Chargers as a 7 point favorite even though I couldn't verify that anywhere, so you can still have SD -7 if you want that.<br />5) You drive a stake through a heart. Even if you grilled the steak until it was black and charred and crunchy instead of chewy, I don't think that could pierce skin. Although, to be fair, I have not seen any studies about the effectiveness of steaks or other meat products on zombies or other undead creatures. I guess it's possible there is some effect that I cannot envision.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576218056344224419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-64883391965702912782012-12-30T10:45:22.730-08:002012-12-30T10:45:22.730-08:00Hey speaking of what would help our blog be succes...Hey speaking of what would help our blog be successful... do you see that once again the most popular searches are Atul Gawande's "Better" chapter blogs I wrote, back like over 2 years ago?<br /><br />You know what that means?

Your ext...Trop de points!! LOL. Well played sir.<br /><br />Your extended paragraph talking yourself into Andy Reid as the new Chargers coach made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. And yet.... you had me saying "I could even overlook such and such" when I started thinking about going to multiple AFC championship games .... ugh. I'm doing it too. This sucks.<br /><br />Also if Scooter and I aren't even the backups to this column, but maybe the backups to your backup (of not trying as hard I guess?), what does that make MP? Is he the 6th-string QB who can come in when we're all injured and suddenly light up the league? There's no doubt that if that happened, he would suddenly turn into French Bill Simmons, create a Linsanity-style FIWK blog rage out of nowhere, and outshine all of us, right? And we could rename the Ewing Theory for blogs the Aaron theory?<br /><br />Okay I think I've exhausted that line of thought. Anyway, picks are:<br /><br />$100 on Seattle -10.5<br />$100 on SD pick em (can I pick an Off score?)<br />$50 on Arizona +16.5; 30 pt blowout wouldn't shock me though<br />$50 on Washington -3; finally putting the steak in the heart of this undead Dallas teamRoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026696036192099488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-89581011052346462282012-12-30T02:50:12.914-08:002012-12-30T02:50:12.914-08:00Let's go with a crisp $25 on Washington and Mi...Let's go with a crisp $25 on Washington and Minnesota...Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613335439008713150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-82012218220448897102012-12-30T02:44:35.334-08:002012-12-30T02:44:35.334-08:00...too much effort...and you could always take an ......too much effort...and you could always take an extra afternoon/night game...leading me to guess if you are going to or not...Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613335439008713150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-50274421583943934632012-12-29T14:57:53.028-08:002012-12-29T14:57:53.028-08:00It's called game theory.
