I was going to make fun of Peter King's chat yesterday over at Deadspin but I can basically just sum it by mentioning that Spazzy McGee spent 20 minutes chatting in the wrong thread. SI's leading football writer folks, spending 20 minutes of his 1 hour chat on the wrong page. Amazing. I couldn't have made that up.
Anyways, it's Friday so let's take a look at Blob the Builder's week 8 picks...
Playing in Buffalo on Nov. 1, you're liable to get any kind of weather.
It might be 110 degrees and tropical so you better apply your sunscreen AND RESPECT THE FUCKING SUN.
Jobs are on the line in Chicago. For once, the Bears play -- and coach -- like it.
Peter King's Super Bowl pick...pathetically chugging along at 3-3 and facing a must win game in week 8. Like I've said before, take the SI cover curse and let it have a dirty and violent sexual romp with the Madden Curse and the result is the Peter King curse. It's as lethal as a shotgun toting transvestite midget that suffers from muscle spasms.
We don't talk or react strongly enough when great players like Walter Jones go on IR and appear to be finished. Big Walt's a very big loss.
We only react strongly WHEN BRETT FAVRE HAS FUN OUT THERE OR WHEN DEREK JETER SOLIDIFIES HIMSELF AS THE BEST PLAYER OF OUR LIFETIMES!
No one, not even Brett Favre, can imagine what it'll be like for him when he steps on the field Sunday. No one, not even Favre, can know now how much the emotion of the moment will figure into his play. I think both quarterbacks will play well here, but I think Favre will play a lot like he did in Minnesota when the emotions were sky-high for him. Which is to say, he's going to play very well under pressure. And cascading boos.
Amazing. Peter King is picking Brett Favre to come out on top. Who could have seen that coming?
Quirky Note of the Week: Arizona defensive coordinator Billy Davis, who has done a superb job molding the Cards into a fire-breathing D, was a college quarterback at the University of Cincinnati 23 years ago.
The Cards defense is almost dragon-esque. Billy Davis leads the league in having a generic name.
Denver Broncos (6-0) at Baltimore Ravens (3-3)
Hardest game of the week to pick. Baltimore has lost three in a row -- by six at New England, by three to Cincinnati on a couple of dumb penalties on the winning Bengal drive, and by two to Minnesota after scoring 21 in the last 10 minutes. Ravens will be the more desperate team Sunday. Just a hunch.
Peter King writes the worst column on Monday. Just a hunch. Fuck my life...
