Weekend Predictions: Falcons win and Dogs … party?
Before revealing this week’s absolute financial locks, not to be confused with some previous absolute financial locks that I was only joking about, which you would have realized had you only sent me the $49.95 for our pre-season, “Ignore These Picks and 100 Recipes with Mayonnaise Code Book,” we have some news.
A Florida mail man was found passed out in his delivery truck this week, drunk with a blood alcohol level somewhere between .264 and a blowtorch. The man told police he drank wine all night and then, I’m not making this up, a half-bottle of mouthwash to cover up the smell. What
That's not a victory cigar in his mouth.
followed, of course, were lowered inhibitions, “special delivery” pick up lines, hitting on every passing woman, Chevy and Labrador, and something about turning over play-calling to Sherman Lewis, who was last seen at a bingo game in a senior’s center.
Hey. Does Dan Snyder deliver the mail?
This week, the Falcons play the remains of the Washington Redskins. Skins fans have been drunk since August and don’t plan on making coffee until January. Snyder has turned a proud franchise into a slimy, greeny, gobby mess that even Al Davis would look at and say, “Yech,” if Al Davis was alive today. Since 1999, Snyder has employed six coaches and 10 starting quarterbacks. Most today can be found in the back of a mail truck. Jim Zorn will get there, just as soon as he recovers from being gelded.
If the Falcons don’t win this, there won’t be enough mouthwash in the world. Matt Ryan: say hello to DeAngelo Hall. Mail call: Falcons cover 10.
Mr. Blutarsky: Zero point zero
Mr Blutarsky could liven up UGA Homecoming.
Tennessee Tech at Trembing Chihuahuas: It’s homecoming in Athens. Great timing. Parade? Anybody? Georgia is 4-4. The last time the Dogs sank to this latitude, Jim Donnan was going 5-6 with a splitting Ray Goff hangover. You know, this really would be a good time to wear all black. But it’s punk the Ohio Valley Conference week. Found one unofficial line that says Dogs by 12. It’s covered.
Wake Forest at Georgia Tech: The Jackets keep rolling with their we’ll-make-you-cry-and-leave-the-light-on-when-you-go-to-bed offense. Wake’s only ACC wins this season have come over Maryland (1-3) and N.C. State (0-4). The Jackets have outscored them by 101 (317-216). Uncle. The 16 is covered.
LSU at Alabama: The winner moves on to the SEC title game for the right to have Florida rip their eyeballs out. So to speak. Wonder how Nick Saban feels knowing Les Miles has a better record (49-12) than he did (48-16) in Baton Rouge? Adding to the inferno: Tide’s Luther Davis claims Miles called him a “traitor” and referred to Saban as “the devil” when he de-committed from LSU. Feel the love. Smell the brimstone. Bama covers 7 1/2.
Wonder if Mike Slive got a game ball?
Vanderbilt at Florida: SEC czar Mike Slive gave his blessing to Urban Meyer’s one- first-half suspension of Brandon Spikes, which even Spikes disagreed with. Then he chose not to fine Meyer after public criticism of a non-personal foul call against Georgia. This came after Slive’s edict to cease and desist all criticism of officials. Question: Does Slive also blow on Meyer’s soup at night? Gators win but give me Vandy and 35. (UPDATE: Slive just fined Meyer $30,000 for his comments! Lover’s spat? Do I take back the soup comment? Uh, no. But here’s the commish’s statement: “Coach Meyer has violated the Southeastern Conference Code of Ethics. SEC Bylaw 10.5.4 clearly states that the coaches, players and support personnel shall refrain from public criticism of officials. The league’s Athletics Directors and Presidents and Chancellors have made it clear that negative public comments on officiating are not acceptable.” OK, we’ll give him one Mulligan.
Florida State at Clemson: Defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews says he’s retiring. Wait. I thought he was already dead. Tigers cover 8 1/2.
South Carolina at Arkansas: Bobby Petrino, molder of men, looked brilliant after starting eight new players in a win over Eastern Michigan. Too bad he doesn’t play Mid-American Conference teams every week. Actually, he might one day. He’s 3-10 in the SEC. Oops. Take the Gamecocks and 7 but Arkansas ekes out a win.
Virginia at Miami: The Hurricanes have gone from a top 10 team (wins over Georgia Tech, Okalhoma) to a stack of Rorschach ink blot cards (loss to Clemson, one-point win over Wake). Forgive me, padre: Canes cover 13 1/2.
NFL mini-pack
Cowboys at Eagles: Dallas wide receiver Roy Williams referenced teammate and rising star Miles Austin this week when he said, “I’m the No. 1 receiver. But things are just going No. 2’s way.” Now we see why he can’t run a route. Dude can’t possibly the difference between left and right when he doesn’t even know his 1’s from his 2’s. Eagles cover 3.
This is as close as Kim Kardashian gets to reality.
Packers at Bucs: The Packers are on the road. Their only hope is that when they return, Brett Favre hasn’t renamed Lambeau and overthrown the state of Wisconsin. Pack covers 9 1/2.
Panthers at Saints: If the Saints win, they’ll tie their win total from a year ago with eight games left. Elsewhere in Fantasyland, Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian are looking for a house together and she dressed up as Snow White and Jasmine at a Halloween party. One day, this will all make sense. Saints cover 13 1/2.

Hey Jeff we’re looking pretty good so far this year! Here is my line-up: The Jackets keep heading down the track to the ACC Championship. The Puppies avoid embarrasment and get a win. Bama sticks it to LSU. Florida wins, but Vandy makes it tough. Clemson takes FSU to the woodshed. South Carolina upends the Razorbacks. Virginia upsets the Canes.
The Falcons restore order to the universe with a win. The Cowboys keep winning… I think this is going to be a real eye-opener, the Packers spank the Bucs, and no way the Saints will quit their winning ways this weekend.

I doubt Saban is too worked up over Miles being 49-12 at LSU versus Saban’s 48-16 there. Saban inherited an LSU program that had gone 34-24 in the previous 5 years, 3-8 in the year immediately prior, and a team of Gerry DiNardo recruits. MIles inherited a program that had gone 48-16 with 2 SEC championships and a national championship in the previous 5 years, a 9-3 in the year immediately prior and a team of Saban recruits.

November 5th, 2009

Clusters could always run fast and deliver a hit but Clusters could not jump high enough to play safety or corner. That meant a Clusters was always waiting behind the line to deliver the big hit. We was always delivering the big hit much like the AJC is always delivering the high impact news like where to find the best biscuits.
Sonny Clusters
November 5th, 2009

We found a place with pretty good biscuits and called it in but nothing came of it and we was thinking they’d probably send Jeff over to try the biscuits first before we get a prize from the AJC. Biscuits come in different sizes and they is a lot of personal preference involved in what makes a good biscuit. It’s a lot like eye-gouging.

Some georgia fans got really excited when the Dawgs trounced Vandy. I don’t think anyone will get too hyped up when they gouge the eyes and the hearts out of Tennessee Tuxedo, er, Tennessee Tech.
I wouldn’t bet the Tech-Wake game with your money let alone my own. Not knowing if Riley Skinner is a go or not makes this one a game to stay away from. Jim Grobe’s teams don’t tend to get lit up often (the Clemson game not withstanding). I’d take Tech to win but the Deacs and the points if I had to but it’s too iffy to call until game time.
The winner of the Bama-LSU game will be the team that can best take the game out of the hands of its quarterback. With an extra week to get ready, I’d go with Saban and the 7 and a hook be damned.
Games like the Arky-SC game are the exact ones that Spurrier’s troops lose which keep them from joining the SEC elite. Hogs win, and bigger than folks would expect.
Virginia is as close to virgin as the renegade Canes will ever get. Jacory Harris is really good, Jameel Sewell isn’t. Take the Canes, lay the points.
A lot of people are of the opinion Matty Ice is in a slump. That may well be, but if what we’ve seen lately is the worst Ryan’s going to do, I’ll take it in a heartbeat. Falcons easily cover 10.
Pick of the week: Clemson -8.5. They may double that. By halftime. As a Tech fan, I don’t relish facing the Tigers again in the ACCCG if it comes to that.

Evidently Slive actually watched the game without red and black tinted glasses on and observed all the actual eye gouges and other acts of unsportsmanlike play administered by the thugdawgs.

I doubt Saban is irked by Miles having a slightly better record. Saban inherited a program in complete disarray (3-8 the year before and 8 losing seasons in 11 previous years). He turned LSU into a national power and left a cupboard of talent that was the envy of anybody east of the real USC. Miles made a living off of what Saban built and left in terms of talent.
Saban’s last class of recruits was the stellar batch of seniors who led LSU to the 2007 national championship season. Think that its coincidence that Miles went 7-5 his first season after all of Saban’s recruits left? I think not.

I’ll take your bet. But how are you gonna count? Are you going to walk every aisle in the Georgia dome and take a hand tally? Or are you just going to guesstimate? I’m sure there wouldn’t be any bias in your guesstimation now would there?
The whole premise of your idea is completely idiotic which would explain why you are a Michael Vick fan and not a Matt Ryan fan. But I’ll tell you what. I’ll bet you $1,000 on each of several bets.
I’ll bet you a grand that Matt Ryan had a better wunderlich score than Vick.
I’ll bet you another grand that Ryan had a higher sat or act score getting into college than Vick.
I’ll bet you another grand that Ryan had a higher GPA at Boston College than Vick had at VT.
And I’ll bet you $10,000 grand that Ryan doesn’t do anything anywhere near as embarrassing to the city of Atlanta as all the dumbass things that Vick did such as the whole dog torture thing, the giving the nurse herpes thing, the marijuana laced water bottle at the airport thing, the flipping off the home crowd thing, the stiffing his bank loans thing, the bankruptcy cause he’s just another fool that can’t manage money responsibly thing, and the Ron Mexico going to the county health dept thing cause he had a veneral disease. How freaking stupid and moronic and ghetto can this punk be?
Still wanna bet on your punkazz hero?

This city FINALY has a good team building for long term success and all you do all day is talk trash cause you have a man crush for a washed up felon.

Jeff, you can pick on Bobby all you want. He’s selfish, no longer competent to be a D1 coach, and is trying hard to make FSU pay him millions more to leave. That said, don’t mess with Mickey. The man is simply the best DC college football has ever seen. Two years ago his son committed suicide in his front yard. All he wants to do is take care of his grandkids, but Bobby has begged him back each of the past two seasons. Bobby feels like if Mickey is there he can continue to delay the inevitable, the day he is not longer the head coach at FSU. I understand your humorous take on sports and enjoy your work very much. Just find out a little more about someone before you make a statement like “Defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews says he’s retiring. Wait. I thought he was already dead”…

Don’t buy into an EASY WIN TALK. FALCONS PLAYERS MUST PLAY EVERY DOWN OF THE GAME PROFESSIONALLY!!
Do it with a hunger to win and with a strong distaste for losing! Don’t let up until the final whistle blows.
Falcons can go 10-6, maybe enough wins to make post-season.

Almost always Clusters can predict the outcome of a game just by looking at the coaches on the sidelines and seeing which one is cool and suave and pretty and which one is a slob and wanting to play some football. Coach was always a slob. He’d have stuff between his teeth and most every shirt was torn somewhere and stained all over. Coach didn’t have a big wardrobe and he didn’t wear nice shoes or sunglasses. Mostly, he just coached football and you didn’t want to get him mad. He would get in your face and talk so fast that you was afraid whatever was stuck in his teeth was going to come loose and get on you.

It is such a tired statement about Miles winning with Saban’s players. Saban deserves credit for what he built at LSU WHILE HE WAS THERE, just as he deserves credit for what he has done with Alabama.
LSU’s fall off last season had little to do with a drop off in talent level. There were 2 reasons LSU fell off last yr, the QB and Bo Pelini leaving for a head coaching job without finding a qualified replacement. Ryan Perrilloux was kicked off the team before the start of the season and LSU was forced to use qb’s who weren’t ready to play. Perrilloux stays on the team and LSU wins 10 games last year. Is any team really the same when the guy they have groomed for the QB job is kicked off the team and left with 2 freshman and a guy from Harvard to take over?
2nd of all, on the defensive side, it’s obvious that the “co-defensive” coordinator decision by Miles was a mistake, but there was no lack of talent. LSU didn’t have an infusion of newcomers on the defensive side of the ball this year over last year and their D is currently one of the best in the SEC and in the top quarter of teams in the country. Miles saw the mistake, went out and got Chavis and they are back on track.
If their was a drop off in talent, LSU wouldn’t be 7-1 this year with their only defeat coming against the #1 team in the country.
Saban is a good coach, Bama should enjoy what they have, but don’t discredit what Miles has accomplished while at LSU.

Not interested in discrediting Miles. It just wasn’t a valid comparison between the accomplishments of the 2 coaches. Miles is a good coach. But Saban resurrected a program that was DOA and Miles took over a program that was in top shape. That’s all.
And if you don’t think Saban still casts a large shadow over LSU just look at the irrational hatred LSU fans have of the man. What did he ever do to them? He gave them their best 5 years ever with a national title and 2 sec titles and then took a job promotion to the nfl. What’s wrong with that? Things didn’t work out in the NFL and so he came back a couple years later for the Alabama job which happened to be open. Why the hatred?
Florida fans all wished Spurrier good luck when he came back to division rival Carolina and Florida fans still have a warm place in their hearts for Spurrier. You would think LSU fans would be just a tad more grateful to Saban for what he did for them but they’re not. Doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

Clusters was never one to say, “we told you so” but they is going to be a real need for some punch in the outfield next season for the Braves and we was wondering where that punch was going to come from? Say, they was a hometown boy that had some power but lost it and now thinks he might be able to get it back if he listened to some coaching and made some changes and tried a little harder to put the ball in play instead of trying to hit it out everytime he come to the plate . . . just say they was somebody out there like that who could be available for next season. What would you think about bringing him back and wouldn’t it be worth it to buy him a Dairy Queen and let him have some security which was all he ever wanted when he wouldn’t sign those contracts the Braves was offering back when they thought he was going to be special? We was always sure that he was going to stick. That’s why we was out there dressed up like little hot dogs in the stands. Yep, that was Clusters and Wintes out there. Wintes was the Polish dog and Clusters was just the bun length beef dog. Jeff, was you out there?

We was going to be a team, me and Jeff, but Schultz and Clusters just don’t seem to be working out. We told the people at the paper Jeff would have to have a window at the new office in Dunwoody and they told us he’d be lucky to get a partition. Jeff wants a window and a door and Jeff won’t give an inch. They’s never going to let him have a partner with that attitude. We’ve done all we can for this relationship trying to help Jeff with things like where to find the best biscuits, and the best barbecue, and the best places to go fish, but Jeff grew up in L.A. and he don’t know much about biscuits. It’s a good thing he can write like a Best of Cox but they don’t even give the $1,000 anymore. Taking on a partner probably won’t work for Jeff right now but if it ever does a Clusters would make a good one and a window isn’t as important to a Clusters as good proximity to the Coke machine.

I don’t think it’s “irrational hatred” LSU fans have for Saban. I think that a better way to put it would be this. LSU fans weren’t mad at Saban for moving on to the NFL. They were mad at the way he handled the situation. For more than a solid 2 months all Saban said was how he had interest in no other job, that he didn’t want to go to the NFL, he was happy where he was. What happens? LSU lays an egg in their bowl game against Iowa blowing the game on a last second pass, but they were outplayed the entire game leading up to that play anyway because they weren’t prepared very well. And what happens? Less than a week later, Saban calls a press conference to announce he was taking the head coaching job at Miami. Then he realized 1 yr into the job that he couldn’t hack it and left. After denying over and over again he wasn’t interested in the job at Alabama. But if you analyze things, look at the way he left Miami. He more or less pulled a Petrino the way he left Miami hanging. The only difference was that he had the onions to meet with Miami mngmnt man to man and quit after the season instead of leaving a note and bailing before the NFL season was over with. That’s 2 seperate instances in which Saban directly lied on multiple occasions. The guy is a snake, that’s why I don’t like him… then to top it all off he goes to a yearly rival of the college school he used to coach. What if Saban leaves Bama for the NFL, only to come back to college again, but he chooses Tennesee or Auburn? Would you not have discontent for the guy?
It’s not just the actions… it’s the way Saban conducted himself and handled the choices he made that angered so many people.

In reference to Meyer’s fine, why will you not take back your comment. As a journalist, you made light that SEC commissioner Slive did not do anything to Meyer. You were wrong. You reported something ahead of time that was totally incorrect. Do you actually have the audacity to think that you were initially correct, and that Slive changed his mind based on media not liking the outcome? Come on, the SEC never made any statements about fining/suspending Meyers until now. I have seen no statement saying that they are not going to do anything, and then a retraction saying they are going to fine him 30K. Where is your journalistic integrity? Oh, I forgot, that term is an oxymoron, at least for the AJC writers. Man do I miss Lewis.

To Damon Evans: Fire Richt after the Georgia Tech game, even if UGA wins (unlikely). Yes, it will play havoc with recruiting this year, but the bleeding will stop and we can start rebuilding with a winning coach, whoever that may be. And we can start being competitive at the highest levels again; i.e., the SEC championship and a BCS bowl.
