Gettin’ drunk
Jan 18, 2008 2007 Season, Bloggerating, Boobies, Colts Shmolts, Dancing With the 'Tards, Inanity, Overexposure, T-shirts, Teams that aren't the Texans
Five announcements before we get to this weekend’s picks:
1. DGDB&D is pleased to announce the addition of bigfatdrunk as a contributing author. I have no idea how much he will post and I will let him handle any sort of introduction he might want to do, but rest assured that this addition was done solely to keep this place from becoming too highbrow. Not that we were really in danger of it.
2. Speaking of how not-highbrow we are, according to two different sources today, it seems that this little corner of the blogosphere is being blocked by some corporate firewalls as “pornographic content.” This blog may be many things, but I think we can all agree that it is not being overrun with naked people fucking. Even former Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart would not look at this site and say it was hard-core obscenity. Asinine, perhaps, but not porn.
3. Reminder: Richard Justice t-shirt contest is ongoing. Just under two weeks left to get your entries in. I would link to the other entries here, but I am lazy.
4. After checking some of the referral links and some emails and stuff, by my count, there are five females who regularly read this place. I am not sure if this is surprisingly high or surprisingly low. Either way, welcome.
5. Maybe I am crazy, but if the Colts are going so far as to say who “will be” the coach “if” Dungy retires, I’m guessing we won’t see Tony pontificating on the sidelines next year.
On to the picks…
Last Week: 3-1
Regular Season Record: 156-91
Playoff Record: 7-1
Playoffs Week 3 Picks:
San Diego @ New England. San Diego in the Super Bowl has about 1/1000th the attraction to anyone outside of Southern California, regardless of your stance on the Patriots. Even if you hate them, you’d much rather see them lose the Super Bowl and go 18-1 than go 17-1, right? And, if we get that Patriots/Packers matchup on Feb. 3, I don’t think it is a stretch to say it will break every conceivable sports television record. Pick: New England
New York @ Green Bay. I’m not saying that the powers-that-be want the Packers to win, but when you are scheduling a mid-January playoff game at Lambeau and you set the start time for 6PM EST, you are making some kind of statement. The wind chill at kickoff is expected to be somewhere around absolute zero and Brett Favre’s below-freezing home record is something like 562-1, so I really, really have a hard time believing Green Bay won’t win this game. I do, however, think there’s a fairly good chance that someone shatters upon impact like the T-1000. Pick: Green Bay

Having recently spent 2 years in Boston I gotta disagree with you on that. I want to see the Patriots not even get to the Superbowl. I had similar feelings to the Moss/Carter/Culpepper Vikings team in 98 that was supposed to be one of the best teams ever and then got beat by the Falcons and never made it (I had just gotten out of a bad relationship with a skanky bitch from Minnesota). I still have fond memories of that game.

potty mouth! And now we have BigFuckingDrunk …potty name who’s going to contribute. Now they’ll ban you from Al Gore’s WWW internet. Huckabee, or Gomer as I like to call him, with his linebacker wife is probably real disappointed in this site as well. Does this make us readers sex addicts now…just askin.

Am I the only one hoping for a Rivers-Manning superbowl? Talk about settling that debate once and for all. But I’m torn, mostly because Rivers might be the biggest douchebag in all of football (right up there with Drayton Florence). Then again, he might not be playing. I’m all in favor of Volek leading the Chargers to victory, and for some reason I’m pulling for Norv.
Did I mention I’d like Bill Simmons to shut the fuck up?

My guess is that it’s the fuckers at websense. If anybody is tight with their IT department, only THEY can report that it’s a bad block. Not even we can report it, though I am looking into it.
-
And, if you search on youtube, there are a ton of methods around websense. I sincerely hate those fuckers.

well well well, 1tex is back. I was getting worried about you!

@ DT: Panda Watch. The mood is tense. I have been on some serious, serious reports, but nothing quite like this. I uh… Ching… King is inside right now. I tried to get an interview with him, but they said “no, you can’t do that; he’s a live bear, he will literally rip your face off.”

@bfd: I have a couple people who might be that close to their IT people. This started off as a cool thing, but now I feel pissed and marginalized. Oh, and drunk.

I hate that fucking loud-mouthed hillbilly Philip Rivers SO much. It would be too harsh to say that I want him to die, but… I kind of want him to die. If the Chargers upset the Pats and screw up the Pats/Pack matchup I will be very upset. Not because I like any of the other teams, but just because I hate the Chargers so much.
SO much!

I’m with Chris; I abhor Phillip Rivers with every fiber of my being. I would like to see him throw 8 INTs on Sunday afternoon, assault an 8 year old girl immediately thereafter, and subsequently get thrown in the clink for the next 50 years.
On the other hand, I really, really, really have come to despise the Pats and their obnoxious fans. So I’m hoping they lose every time they set foot on the field.
What to do on Sunday? I’m praying that Billy Volek, the same petulant assclown that pouted his way out of Nashville, leads the Chargers to victory. And then Bill Simmons’ computer crashes from the three million e-mails he gets from bandwagon Pats fans blaming him for jinxing the team.

See, I don’t even hate the Pats (other than Rodney Harrison); I just hate their cock-sucking fans. Besides, Brady is a Michigan guy, so I have that.

I really want the Packers to beat them, however, and then Brett to go out on top a la John Elway.

@ Matt — Same here. If anyone deserves it, Favre does.

Also, I completely blame the Porn-ban on the addition of BFD.

we can quote Anchorman here? Sweet… I’ve been in withdrawal ever since Deadspin essentially banned such commentary!
new goal for my blog: get identified as “pornographic” for overuse of the word “fuck”

I actually encourage the quoting of Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and Old School. I discourage the quoting of Curious George and Kicking & Screaming.

“I discourage the quoting of Curious George and Kicking & Screaming.”
Damn. I’ll have to work on some new material. Just curious: what’s your policy on Major League? Is Back to the Minors acceptable, or do you draw the line at #2? I also need to know which of the seven Police Academies I’m allowed to quote.

Shake: only if they were able to scan my computer at home and blame it on Matt. I mean, sheesh, if my wife ever found my special folder, I’d be screwed. or, to put it another way, never screwed by her again. I can see it now…

@ nash: Back To The Minors is acceptable only if you are quoting the Corbin Bernsen lines. Scott Bakula can go to hell. And the only off-limits Police Academy movie is Citizens On Patrol.
