week 3
I did pick Atlanta to beat TB 21 to 13 with a confidence level of 6 but clearly Tampa Bay was not up for this game. It is harder to watch NFL games with all the off the field issues going on. As I thought more absurd decisions would be coming this year and the NFL has not let me down. Players like North Carolina's Greg Hardy was able to play last week despite being convicted of domestic abuse and owners,GMs and Comissioner Goodell are waving their fingers in the public opinion wind to see what the right thing is to do rather than being strong leaders and making tough decisions on their own. Two cases in point involving one person I greatly respect and another I hold in complete contempt.
Regarding the Ray Rice incident it was sad to read that coach Jon Harbough lobbied to remove him from the team after seeing the original TMZ video of Rice dragging his fiancee out of the elevator only to be overruled by GM Ozzie Newsome and owner Steve Bisciotti. Afterward after the video of Rice striking his fiancee inside the elevator was made public, Harbough alone had to give a conference on Rice's removal on the team alone without eitherNewsome or Bisciotti there. Ozzie Smith is someone I have tremendous respect for but this decision along with owner Bisciotti is disgraceful and more scrutiny should be directed at these two men.
Now on to Commissioner Goodell's press conference after he has been hiding away while more scandals are being made public. Goodell admitted that he got the original ruling on Ray Rice to suspend him for two games and said that he will now get it right on matters like this. In the same press conference he still insists that he did not see the infamous video of Rice striking his fiancee even though TMZ did see it and the video was sent to the NFL offices. This man is a phoney and a liar and my guess is the reason he was hiding out all week was to install the CYA method of staying ahead in business. I have a feeling that every employee at NFL headquarters has been told to say they never received the Rice video and to remove any evidence that suggests otherwise. Goodell should have been removed instantly but as long as owners see him as a man who brings them money, don't look for him to be gone anytime soon.
Below are my picks for games that frankly I am losing interest in.
Chargers vs Bills (bills -2.5) Bills 24 Chargers 17 2 W W
Cowboys vs Rams (Dallas - 1.5). Dallas 31 Rams 7 14 W W

week 1
Another season has started with Seattle picking up where they left off. I texted Mr. Slag the score of Seattle 23 Packers 16 wednesday (conf level 10) and that clearly underrated how strong Seattle is. My pick for the superbowl will be Seattle facing New England with Seattle winning another superbowl.The upcoming season will be good as far as football goes but off the field will be a bad comedy as Commissioner Goodell has proclaimed himself the moral conscience of the NFL. Let's look at his work so far. W
Josh Gordon :suspended for the entire season for repeatedly testing positive for marijuana (that drug is now legal in two states).
Ray Rice : suspended two games for domestic abuse. He knocked his fiancee out.
Josh Brent : suspended 10 games for driving drunk resulting in the death of his teammate.
Josh Gordon hurt no one while Ray Rice almost killed someone and Josh Brent did and Gordon ends up with the harshest penalty. If you can't see the problem with this, you're either a religious whack job or Commissioner Goodell himself. I'm sure more absurd penalties are coming soon.
Now for the games and I will see how I do against the spread as well.
Patriots vs miami (patriots 5 1/2). Patriots 24 Miami 14 (3) L L
Steelers vs Cleveland ( cleveleland +6). Steelers 17 Browns 14 (2). These teams always keep it close. Browns cover spread but won't win and Johnny Football will be a disaster in Cleveland. W W
