NFL Week 4

Last Week: 2-4
Overall: 7-9-1

Last week was tough on O'Hoolix, but stay with the Alien and you will reap rewards!


PITTSBURGH -1.5: Steelers red hot and at home against struggling Ravens.

SF +7: Struggling 49'ers looking to save their season and their coach, Atlanta ripe for a letdown.

NY JETS: -5: Buffalo last week was a fluke, JETS for real despite their injuries.

SAN DIEGO: -8: 8 is alot of points, but the Chargers will be pissed and Arizona is just what the doctor ordered.

WASHINGTON +6.5: No O'Hoolix is not crazy, this NFC East showdown should be close. The Eagles have played some patsies so far, maybe the Skins D will be a stiffer test. McNabb has something to prove here.

CLE/CINN und 37: Like a 17-10 type game here.

SD/ARZ ov 45.5: I think the Chargers can get 46 in this spot.

GOOD LUCK ALL!

Geez--Maybe I Should Go Out Less Often...

...since I almost missed it! If you didn't know that the FireJoeMorgan guys took over Deadspin again yesterday, then you almost missed it, too. And that would definitely be a shame.

So enjoy. The only bad thing is that it might make you sad that we no longer can enjoy FJM on a nearly-daily basis. But I'm still happy we're lucky enough to get anything new.

Thanks to Ken T., dak, & Junior for the laughs and the great insights. We miss you.

Classy!

I've been to Philadelphia one time, and I have to say that I enjoyed the experience. Went to some of the historic sites, hung out in Old Philly, met some really cool people. It certainly was not what I expected given the town's reputation--especially in regards to sports. The experience made me question whether that reputation was really deserved.

And then I see this cover with Michael Vick from today's Philadelphia Daily News, and I think: yes...yes, that bad reputation is really deserved.



Sure, it's the obvious joke, but is it really necessary?

Okay--you're right. It probably is.

It's a Slow News Day

The Colts beat up the Giants 34-14 last night. It was an impressive performance, especially by the Colts defense, which bounced back after allowing something like 500 yards rushing to Houston in week one.

You'd think the talk around Indianapolis today would be about the big win. And for the most part, you'd be right--unless you've been watching WXIN-TV (the Indianapolis Fox affiliate) this evening. If you had, you'd think the most important news story of the day is about Brandon Jacobs' helmet and the fan who caught it:

In case you missed it, Giants running back Brandon Jacobs either accidentally (or not) threw his helmet into the stands at Lucas Oil stadium. Sure, that's an interesting fact about the game, but having the fan who caught the wayward helmet as your lead story on your website and on your late night newscast is the very definition of a slow news day. During prime time programming, Fox59 has run two promos for the 10pm newscast, and the "fan speaking out" story has received top billing.

Who says local television stations can't do hard news?

NFL Week 2

Week 1 got off to a rough start for the furry space alien, but O'Hoolix is not scared. O'Hoolix is not some lame alien like on "V", I kick ass and take names. On to week two.

Green Bay -13

Miami +5.5

Oakland +3.5

Atlanta -6.5

NE -3

Week 1: 2-3-1

Good Luck All

NFL Picks Week 1

Yes, I am back.....back again.......O'Hoolix is back..........da da dadd daaaa....Okay enough with the sound effects.

O'Hoolix is out again in 2010 to dish out winners and fatten wallets. I will be pontificating on this year's NFL action and putting a beat down on the linemaker's...... they are Alderan and I am the DEATH STAR! I hope they don't force O'Hoolix to go all Alex Logan on them this year, but alas I see a DEATH BLOSSOM in their future.
100-1 says out there somewhere there is a young Abdullah Taliban wishing he could call O'Hoolix's 1-900-BIG CA$H line for winner's, but daddy keeps using it to detonate IED's with.
On to the winners.

MIAMI -3: Buffalo is really bad.
ATLANTA -1.5
CINCY +4.5: NE's defense suspect.
CLEVELAND +3: Like Delhomme better than Tampa's QB.
INDY -2.5: Excellent road favorite.
BALTIMORE +2.5: Too much smack talk against improved Ravens
