G:TB's Week 16 NFL Picks

Look at Dennis getting us started...now, does anyone else plan to pick a game?

I like Miami -4 at Kansas City and Philly -5 at Washington. I also like long walks on the beach, being tickled just right, and potpourri. I'm Dennis, and that's one to grow on.

Everybody's favorite random drunk, Greg, is back in my neck of the woods for a week or so. And in between pissing in the lobby of the local Sheraton and telling girls he was a minor league hockey player last night, well, we talked a little football. Greg says the Bucs (-3) are locks to beat San Diego today and keep their playoff hopes alive. I say Greg is a no good drunk who may or may not make out with his brother when they're reunited over the holidays. I also watched enough Brian Griese last week to know that the Bucs don't have Frosty's chance in hell (The (snow) man did some unspeakable shit with that corn cob pipe) with him under center. Fortunately, it looks like Garcia will get the start today. So, I'll go against my better judgement and take the Bucs (-3) at home.

I haven't picked two games in some time but I doubt TJ's going to pick any games since he's likely too busy texting Rob about W&M basketball. And Rob's not going to pick any games because he's playing Littlest Pet Shop with his girls (the size of the toys finally makes him feel like a grown up). And Whitney, well, who the fuck knows what that guy is doing. Other than getting drunk on some obscure micro-brew and listening to Springsteen bootlegs whilst masturbating to tapes from this, of course. Admittedly, thats a pretty full day for the old guy so we'll cut him some slack. However you slice it, it means I have to pick another game. Hey, the Texans have been hot lately...and the Raiders have been a pile of hot shit all season long. Looks good to me. Houston (-7.5) over the Silver & Black.

  1. Wait, I'm giving the points, aren't I? Whatever the terminology, we're taking the Pats to manhandle the Cards.

  2. Mark you dumbass...where did my pick and prose go?

  3. It wasn't in the draft when I constructed my picks. Don't blame me because you don't know how to use your email machine properly.

  4. I took the Pats the minute I saw the weather in NE. So Pats (-8) for us.

  5. This Bucs pick isn't working out very well. And I blame Antonio Bryant...and Greg.

    ReplyDelete
  6. The snow in NE really did have the effect expected.

  7. Mark, if you and Greg have the NFL package, catch some of this Chiefs/Fins game.

  8. kansas city not cooperating, howevah.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I do have the package. Unfortunately for Greg, he's not here and the cable just went out at his parent's house. Haha...asshole.

  10. According to the local sports radio schmoes, the Cardinals are 2-19 in their last 21 games in the eastern time zone. I guess they're really sensitive to jetlag? The Pats didn't need the snow to beat the Cards, they had longitude on their side.

  11. andy reid is a great big fat person.

  12. hey, a jason taylor sighting!

  14. sean suisham blows. and jim zorn may be right about being the worst coach in america. brutal decision in a scoreless game.

    ReplyDelete
  15. shaun suisham also blows. all the suishams, really.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Right after TJ left his last comment, he heard a knock at his door. It was Tony Kornheiser and Skip Bayless. We won't be hearing from Teej for awhile.

    ReplyDelete
  17. This Jets game is going to kill me before it's over.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Steve Tasker is apoplectic about Mangina's decision to punt after the delay of game penalty. It sounds like Tasker is so fired up he might swallow his tongue.

    ReplyDelete
  19. This is a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yes. Get you ass off the couch.

    ReplyDelete
  21. OK Zoltan, I need your Bills to beat the Pats next week. Go take Jauron's headset and get it done.

    ReplyDelete
  22. i'm stunned the skins didn't find a way to blow that.

    ReplyDelete
  23. That Skins win really was "one to grow on"...oh wait, no it fucking wasn't...

    ReplyDelete
  24. According to my crazy gorilla math, that win represents the Skins' largest point margin victory of the season. Chew on that...

    ReplyDelete
  25. whoa. and on elimination sunday. how sadly fitting.

    ReplyDelete
  26. SD/Denver next week is gonna be fun.

    ReplyDelete
  27. the chargers are that proverbial 'team nobody wants to play'. or would be, if they had a head coach.

    ReplyDelete
  28. We went 2-3 for the week. Now I need to go figure out what we did last week. It's all coming down to Week 17 in this epic battle no one cares about.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I ask one favor of the New York Giants D all season. One measly time I am rooting for them to shut down a opponent's RB. So far they're giving me a huge middle finger and saying "We're sucking to screw you, Whitney. Take that."

    Screw you, Giants. For this, I curse you to an embarrassing playoff loss in your first game.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Unreal. I now wish for someone else on the Giants to shoot themselves in the ass. And for the entire defensive squad to be caught using PED's so their 2007 title is tainted. And for two of them to get caught in the shower room buggering each other.

    At the very least the embarrassing playoff loss looks like more of a reality.

    Screw you, Giants.

  31. The standings entering Week 15 looked like this:
    Wheelhouse: 37-32-1
    Gheorghe: 39-31

    House Week 15
    3-1-1
    GTB Week 15
    2-2-1

    House Week 16
    2-1 (Sunday and Monday night games pending)
    GTB Week 16
    2-3

    Well, here's where that leaves us...
    Wheelhouse
    42-34-2
    Gheorghe
    43-36-1

    ReplyDelete
  32. Nice use of "buggering." No one refers to it as buggery any more.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Whit, guess who scored again...

    ReplyDelete
  34. Quite a ballgame we have on our hands...

    ReplyDelete
  35. I could really use a Steve Smith (CAR) TD here.

    ReplyDelete
  36. 50 yarder in the Meadowlands wind? Does he have a shot?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Stupid fucking Panthers couldn't lose on an OT field goal and cover...nope, had to completely fold and allow a TD. Bums.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Work Jerry just emailed me to say Buffalo got 4 feet of snow yesterday.

    And there's more coming today.

    ReplyDelete
  39. is work jerry already home for the holidays?

    ReplyDelete
  40. He is indeed...got there Saturday just in time for some epic lake effect snow.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I can't believe "I" picked against the Skins this week. Damn myself for all eternity...

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yep, it really would be nice if the Skins fan who likes to pick against his team would sack up and put his own name on his picks. It would be awfully big of him.

    ReplyDelete
  43. i thought it was nice to see a softer side of dennis.

    ReplyDelete
  44. jmu's trying to blow an 18-point halftime lead to seton hall.

    meanwhile, tubby smith and john beilein have their teams in the top 25. the big 10's got some seriously underrated coaching talent.
