Chipper picks OSU? No surprise
The Braves’ Chipper Jones joined the ESPN “Gameday” crowd today, wearing a Florida Gators jersey. So naturally he picked the Cowboys over the Dawgs. Coach and Herbstreit went with Georgia.
Are you ready for some football? Hope Joe Cox and Co. are,
I’ll be back after the game, which I’m watching at the legendary Allen’s in Athens.
Go Dogs!

Better put your bets on UGA because chipper is in a slump. His prediction can’t be accurate, just like his bat right now. Woof! Woof! Woof!

If I was swinging the bat like chipper, I’d just keep my mouth shut … and I am a tech grad!
Too bad our game is a snoozer.

How dare Chipper pick OSU!! After how much love the state of Georgia has shown him through his struggles. Further proof that his career is almost over and he doesn’t care anymore.

Chipper, you really are showing your loyalty . Athens is around the corner and you are being paid by a lot of dog fans and go there?

I hope Chipper’s picks are as good as his season this year. I’m shocked Herbstreit actually picked the Dawgs.

Hi fans Timmie Tearbow here
I will guarantee another NC.
Me and the boyz will have been working hard all off season getting ready for
the new year.
Coach Myers and I will have been spooning together every night in our
matching Nascar PJ’s and we have been going to the hair salon every day
after practice to get his spray tan and butt cut hairdo looking extra special.
And if we don’t look just right I cry….you know like I did after the Ole Miss game.
Yeah I am sensitive I guess. We pretty much cry over everything down here in
Gainsville.
I just put an emergency call in to Boy George and he’s going to be on the sideline
during practices. And will sing his number 1 hit single “do you really want to hurt
me….do you really want to make me cry?” everyday.
Gayturd Nation we need your support.
Please ask your bosses for the day off from your fast food jobs and show
up for practices loud in proud in your all Orange and blue attire.
In case you didn’t hear Myers is asking for a “jort out” at each game to get
everyone pumped up.
GO Gayturds, chomp chomp chomp.

Chipper is dead to me: wears a gator jersey, picks OSU to win, and worst of all, gave a shout out to OK from Greg Norton who is the worst pinch hitter in history for the Braves. Go Dawgs!!!!!!

If Chipper (what adult is still called Chipper?) is as good at picking college fb as he is at playing the last few years, then the dogs a a cinch. He and all other greedy mlb players can kiss my a**!

Boy ya’ll are a little paranoid aren’t ya’ll As far as Tebow Patrick It’s pretty evident you know little about him Give him the respect he gives everyone else If we had more young men like him we might be a little better off To shuck and jive over a game is one thing but to just make silly comments like a 4 yr oldand attack his character is something else Save your tears for the game

Screw Chipper. That was classless of him to do that to the state of Georgia. Georgia has been very good to him and he could have stayed netural. As a Dawg fan I lost alot of respect for him after he pulled that stunt. I guess he forgot he plays pro ball in the state of Georgia.

chipper can start cruising for little boys with tebow now (there are rumors about tebow’s perverted sexual drives starting to circulate, seriously) for all I care

DAWG FANS: don’t get too heart-broken from Chipper, who I thinks a fantastic baseball player, but he’s probably closer to his semi-retirement job, bartending at Hooters. But if you want to feel a little better about the game, and get a few laughs, check out http://pickinchickendinners.com/

I was there. What a loser. In a slump. Needs practice? Should he be at the batting cage or making an ass out of himself????

Can you tell me, please, who won the National League batting title last year, with the highest average since Bonds in ‘02?
Thanks for your sterling display of baseball knowledge.

Most of you people need to grow up. It’s not like he was insulting your manhood. Just because he plays baseball in Atlanta doesn’t mean he has to parrot the party line. I bet if you polled the Braves team that few if any would pick Georgia as their favorite team. After all, they come from all over US and South America.

A person – even a baseball player – ought to have the right to root for the team of his choice. I think it’s also fine to get hacked off about it if you disagree. But the notion that he somehow is obligated to pick Georgia to win (and I’m a Georgia fan) doesn’t hold water.

No more support for Chipper. He’s on his own as far as I’m concerned. I’m for the Braves but not Chipper!

Forget Chipper…how is Joe Cox preparing? Hasn’t he come out for warm-ups? It’s less than an hour before kick-off for crying out loud.

Who cares who chipper picks??? And why should he pick a Gerogia School??? Isnt he from Florida anyhow?? Just because he plays baseball in GA for a professional team does not mean that he has to change his support to a georgia college team…Last time I checked you could like any college school you wanted regardless of what anyone else thought….you mindless people are pathetic

The typical whiney, inferior georgia reaction that I expected. You rednecks are so sensitive you lose your mind over a guy, playing in atlanta, not athens, who is from florida, has always been a gator fan, giving a meaningless game day prediction. You think everyone playing for the braves hawks and falcons should pick georgia to win every game they play? will that make you idiots sleep better at night? I mean we all saw how you pissed your pants when you got the 2007 Pre Season championship. I suppose when you cant win anything of real importance you have to hang your hat on Magazine rankings and random prognostications. SIC EM!

Braves have been losers since that Chipper-CHUMP has been with them, never could pull out the big wins. He use to practice for tv interviews when he was a kid and would talk out of the side of his mouth then also. Go f— your goomah and yourself Jones, you are a loser.
