23 Skeddadle

Forgot to post my picks for today but for the record I would have taken the home teams. For those of you scoring at home, that makes three straight weeks that I've been wrong about the Giants. I'll pick them to lose again in two weeks so we'll see what happens.
Tonight's game was especially sweet because there is a large number of obnoxious Packer fans at work. They would have been insufferable if they were going to the Super Bowl. Having the game decided by St Bret the Football Sharer was an added bonus.
A word on scheduling, if you will. There was no good reason not to start these games at noon and 3:30. Even 12:30 and 4:00 would have been fine. The NFL gives us a fine rhythm of games for the first three months and then screws it up with Thursday games during December. Then comes the playoffs and then screw it up even more. The extra week off before the Super Bowl blows the whole rhythm to hell. NFL, this is an easy thing to fix. Make it so!
