Football Friday

First things first: The winner for 2005′s gayest bowl game: The Poinsettia Bowl.
If I didn’t already know that Navy and Colorado State had all male players on their teams, I would think this was one of those powder-puff football league quota games. Sheeeeesh.
Alright, onto the pigskin.
The BcS bowl games are shaping up just as the BcS wanted it. 1 vs. 2, blah blah blah. The best game of the post-season, however, is Notre Dame vs. Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl. Check back for bowl predictions later in the month so that you can blow all your Christmas money on gambling, which is illegal in Tennessee.
On to the pros. This weekend, I’ll be heading down to the Big Nasty for the Titans/Texans game. I’m torn on this one, because the Titans should really be tanking the rest of their games so that we can get as high in the draft as possible. But, unfortunately, I smell a Titans win 29 – 17. I’ll try not to spend too much on $7 beer while at Adelphia (or whatever they’re calling it these days). Elsewhere…
- Bears 24 Steelers 22 – This game will silence all those Bears doubters. Wherever they are.
- Indianapolis 37 Jacksonville 18 – I’m really starting to buy the “perfect season” crap. The Colts will still choke in the playoffs, though, just you wait.
- Buffalo 26 New England 18 – Upset special of the week.
- Giants 31 Eagles 7 – I don’t know why I can’t stand the Iggles, but I just can’t. I’m enjoying their downward spiral. Long may it continue!

Yeah… “The Pointsettia Bowl”… Fukkin’ gay! Nowhere near as manly as “The Continental Tire Bowl” or “The Poulin Weed Eater Independence Bowl”.

Yes, of course… The ZERO OFFENSE Bears will somehow find a way to accumulate 24 points on Defense and Special Teams only vs. The Squeelers.

Yay! a chance for me to say “he’s a defensive GENIUS!!!”
and for once, I’m not talking about Tony Dungy!
although, who was the guy who hired Lovie Smith in Tampa? Yep. DEFENSIVE GENIUS!
and your pics were just too boring to make fun of. although, New England can win its division with 7 wins. hah!

Our Football Friday (much better than this rip-off) today comes from The Onion Sports:
INDIANAPOLIS—The Indianapolis Colts, after building a perfect 12-0 record so far this season and expecting perhaps only the Seattle Seahawks to pose a major cha…
