Weekend Predictions: Falcons, Jackets and Phillips (oh my)
Got a suggestion for the chalkboard? Drop it in the in-box below.
If we have learned anything in sports, it’s that it’s all about talent evaluation, which tells you why the Falcons are thriving with Matt Ryan and the Dallas Cowboys are too often flailing with Tony Romo and Steve Phillips is sitting in that special corner of what-were-you-thinking hell, because, like, dude, I know every general can’t resist the scrappy overachieving infielder once in a while and running the New York Mets can fry the mere mortal’s braincells but did you really mean to firebomb your life over the Mark Lemke of female interns?
Here's Brooke Hundley as she was working her way up the ESPN foodchain to Steve Phillips.
The Falcons have done almost everything right in the last 22 months. The Cowboys haven’t quite done everything wrong. It just seems that way.
Jerry Jones has picked the wrong players. He has picked the wrong coaches. He certainly picked the wrong surgeon of cheekology for his last nip-tuck.
About the only thing Falcons owner Arthur Blank probably would want from Jones would be the cash register receipts being generated by his new House of Gluttony, Cowboys Stadium (which is still without naming rights, as the Federal Reserve pulled out two weeks ago when the Cowboys had to rally to beat the Chiefs).
Falcons-Cowboys? This one’s pretty easy to evaluate. Dallas actually has some talent. Problem is everybody too often is running in the wrong direction. Think panic. Think brain melt. Think Phillips running head first into a wall. Again. The only thing I can’t figure out is why I’m getting four points to play with?
Take them. You won’t need them. Falcons over Cowboys.
FABER COLLEGE
(Where Knowledge is Good)
Georgia Tech at Virginia: The last time the Jackets won in Charlottesville, they won a national championship in 1990 and Georgia fans started leaving sticky notes on Ray Goff’s forehead about Zaxbys. You know, other than Goff, everything else is pretty much still on the table: The BCS and Georgia depression. Jackets cover 5 1/2.
Georgia: The Bulldogs are off this week. Uga VII has informed the Seiler family he will not be making next week’s trip to Jacksonville and will be viewing the game via Skype.
Forget the noise. I get the feeling he's going to be just fine in Starkville.
Florida at Ms. State: Tim Tebow has four fumbles, two interceptions and been sacked 12 times in six games, all of which makes you wonder where Florida would be if he was actually having a good season. Oh that’s right: 6-0 and ranked No. 1 in the BCS. Can playing in Starkville be much tougher than a bye? No. Gators cover 23.
Tennessee at Alabama: Vols coach Lane Kiffin said this week, “I don’t think there’s any doubt who the No. 1 team in the country is,” and he was talking about Alabama, which basically accomplishes two things Phil Fulmer could never do: Stick it to Florida while at the same time supplying a sufficient alibi ahead of time before getting pounded by Alabama. So much for the entertainment in Knoxville: Tide covers 14.
Clemson at Miami: Saw a headline. “Honeymoon over for Dabo Swinney.” Gee, after the long romance with the Motel 6 of candidates, who’d a thunk it? Hurricanes cover 4 1/2.
NFL SIX-PACK
Vikings at Steelers: Jeff Reed is a lunatic defensive tackle trapped in a kicker’s body. He pummeled a convenience store towel dispenser in February (the towel dispenser started it) and after last week’s game was arrested for public intoxication, resisting arrest, simple arrest and generally being a complete drunken idiot, which, as it turns out, is now illegal after Steeler games. If I’m Mike Tomlin, I’m striking a match near Reed’s mouth and catapulting him toward Brett Favre. Steelers cover 4.
Saints at Dolphins: Chad Henne has looked pretty solid in his two starts. Drew Brees has looked like some implausible lab creation that just landed from Alpha Centauri. Checkmate! Saints cover 6.
Scene from a Redskins' practice: Dan Snyder (kicker), Sherm Lewis (holder) and Jim Zorn (tee).
Ashley would've had a better game plan.
Eagles at Redskins: I’m not suggesting Dan Snyder ranks among the most mocked figures in the history of Washington D.C. But like, at least when Eliot Spitzer turned into a cartoon, you could look at pictures of Ashley Dupre and think, “OK. I can see why he lost his mind a little.” But what possesses an NFL owner to sue financially strapped season-ticketholders who need to sell their seats for income, publicly emasculate his head coach six games into a season and turn over playcalling to Sherm Lewis, who was nearly five years into retirement and — I’m not making this up — was playing Bingo at a seniors center when he got the phone call? The Eagles lost to the Raiders. Turns out they’re the standard this week. Philly covers 7.
Packers at Browns: Twelve Cleveland players missed practice with the flu. If they start kissing opponents, they’ve got a shot to win another game. Packers cover 7 1/2.
Patriots at Bucs (in London): Seems to me the NFL could’ve excited football fans in London more if they had Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen walk down the street during a bye week instead of having the Patriots play Tampa Bay. Actually, Bucs fans wouldn’t mind that either for the next 10 games. Pats win but take Tampa and the 14 1/2.
Bears at Bengals: Chicago signed Jay Cutler to a $30 million extension after losing to the Falcons. So if he’s worth another $30 million at 3-2, what’s the quarterback they traded, Kyle Orton, worth at 6-0? Take the gift 1 1/2 and Bears on the road.
♦ ♦ ♦ TOTEBOARD ♦ ♦ ♦
Last week: 8-3 straight up, 5-6 against the line.
Bottom dollars: 50-25 straight up, 36-39 against the line.

Weekend prediction – The Dawgs who watch the Florida game are going to be trembling when they see the defense that they have to go up against next week with a poor quarterback and a defense that is ranked last in the SEC in points allowed per game.

Jeff,
If Steve Phillips had gone for a threesome with Letterman’s diary-writing intern, would it be Blauser-Lemke or Rameriz Lemke? Either way, there’s the answer why the Mets could never assess talent.

Hey Schultz…..since you like to trash Lane Kiffin so much, I can only come to one conclusion. Let me lay it out for you….JEALOUSY! Let’s see…..Kiffin is young…..You are not. Kiffin is the HC at a major university….You are not. Kiffin has a multi-year, multi-million $$ contract…..You do not. Kiffin has a smoking hot wife…..My guess would be you do not. Kiffin has all of his hair……You do not. Kiffin is on national TV most weekends….You sit behind a laptop in a dark room spewing biased sports articles. There I think I have covered most of my points. Try this on for size….UT wins in Tuscalooser on Saturday! You will be eating your words once again! Rocky Top Tennessee…….Woooooooooooooo!!!

Jeff,
Entertaining article.
Would enjoy an article about CPJ’s take on the GT/UGA rivalry if you can get an interview from him.
I don’t think he appreciated what he verbalized to the media as “heckling” he, and our players took in Athens last year.
Ask him if he’s going to run it up on Georgia this year! Ha! Ha!

The Dawgs are only relevent to Dawg fans,the rest of the country couldn’t give a rats a$$ about Ugay.CPJ and the Jackets will be them on the field again this year and gain the upper hand at recruiting.After Ga State fields their team ya’ll might qualify as 3rd best team in state.

Yeah, if it was a better GM I’d think maybe Hundley’s got some special skills in the sack we don’t know about. Though she probably would’ve been a better signing than Mo Vaughn. Man, Phillips’ wife must be pretty ugly/frigid.
The Cowboys are at home, coming off a bye, and at least on paper look like their strengths are our weaknesses. I haven’t watched them yet this year, they must REALLY be poorly coached if nobody’s giving them a chance. The height discrepancy alone between their receivers and our corners could make up an entire extra player. Just goes to show about “intangibles,” I suppose.

Jeff nice goal tonight, didn’t know you could score a NHL goal, but to score from 180 that’s impressive.
I have a couple of problems with the lines on these games. How is Miami only favored by 4.5 and the saints by 6? That’s puzzling to me because the dolphins aver 22.4 ppg and the saints average 38.4 ppg. Now I’m no mathematician, but I think that 16 points. I guess what I’m saying is the dolphins suck and 6 points is a joke.
u-no
October 22nd, 2009
10:51 pm
Ok here is my line up Jeff. Tech wins in a convincing fashion breaking the spell of UVA. Georgia struggles but manages to not lose on a bye weekend. Florida, Alabama, and Miami come away with wins. The Falcons do it to Dallas. Steelers, Saints, Eagles, and Packers mark up W’s. My two deviations from your picks, The Buc’s take it in London and the Bengals find a way to win over the Bears.
Cuz
October 22nd, 2009
11:07 pm
Tech’s offense will outscore Virginia’s offense. If Tech can mount any kind of defense they will win this one handily. TCU held UVA to 57 yards rushing and 120 yards passing. They also recorded 8, yes 8, sacks. Given that Tech’s defense is not of the caliber of TCU, I still think they can hold them enough to let the offense steamroll Virginia’s D.
Go Jackets, Sting Em, Bzzzz, Bzzzzz, Bzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously, running the Mets fried Steve Phillips mind, or at the very least his eyes. Dawgs are a one point favorite over BYE, but may give up 57 points. If Paul Johnson gets by UVA, and they should, Dawgs may need to get swine flu like illness over Thanksgiving, to avoid the Bees. Ugly butt kickings by Gators,Jackets, and maybe Tigers will make for a long winter. But we will have GREAT recruits? My bookies glad you gave your picks, and he really is enjoying my house.

Never make fun of those things we have no control over and this include all of you (including you, Mr. Schultz) making fun of the girl’s looks when clearly she is more of the victim here by being “used” by a “celebrity” who also clearly took advantage of a dumb, gullible, young girl for his personal gratification like a slime dog president we know.
What if this were your sister or daughter?

Re: UF vs. MSU – Dan Mullen probably knows Tebow’s style of play better than anyone outside of Tebow himself. That being said, Florida still wins big but I’d take the 23 in this one.

Tech Tony
October 23rd, 2009

I I were Steve Phillips, I think I would’ve picked the one on the right.
I think Tech will win and cover. CPJ has avenged 2 of last year’s 3 ACC losses to date with UVA next on that list.
UGA wins and covers the 3.5 against Bye Week. I know, really old joke.
Florida will look better that it did last week but I don’t think it’ll cover the 23. Dan Mullen is Urban’s buddy so I think they might use a running clock or a mercy rule to keep the score down.
Call me stupid, plenty of other people have, but I’d take UT and the 14. With the exception of last week, the Tide has been crazy mack daddy good against the number and those things tend to even out.
Upset of the week: Clemson over Miami. #1.) because it’s wishful thinking on my part and #2.) it seems Clemson only comes to play when Dabo’s job is on the line. If Swinney loses the bedrock of his program and does get fired, will it be Mr. Slate that officially cans him?

In reference to Steve Phillips, I sent in this comment to the ESPN web site: “It looks like it’s open season on young female staffers at your network. You should be embarrased to employ Steve Phillips, that cradle-robbing degenerate. And don’t give me that crap about not knowing he was prone to this. He has a history of sexually harassing and preying on the girls under and around his employ too young and naive to understand his perverted attempts to lure them into illicit affairs.

Larry — I’ve addressed the “victim” part of this in other comments. As far as what I would do if this was my sister or my daughter, I would hammer them for being such an idiot. And if you don’t believe me, you can ask my two sisters and my daughter. … As far as “cowardice”: huh?

Funny stuff as always, Jeff. But do we really have to see another pic of Jesus H. Tebow? I’m trying to eat breakfast.

Buffalo just hasn’t really impressed me this year. The Bucs haven’t either, I am just thinking a change of venue will produce an upset. Stranger things have happened!

Yes, that is Brooke Hundley. Was she really worth it, Steve?

Is Hundley a defensive lineman or an offensive lineman?
