New York Giants (13-7) - Previously: #1 - Congratulations to the Giants for winning the Super Bowl again. I can't say I have any regrets for picking the Patriots though. I noted on my picks page that I wouldn't have even bet the game if there were other contests on the slate. It just seemed too even to me. New England could have easily won if it had just recovered one of the fluky fumbles, or if Wes Welker hadn't dropped that long pass. At the same time though, New York dominated the time of possession and should have been winning at halftime. So, it could go either way, I guess.
I'm not going to complain about the pick though because I got most of my props right. Kelly Clarkson even peed standing up after he sung the national anthem, so that's $100 in my pocket.
At any rate, I can blame my Patriot selection loss on Migelini, who predicted that New England would win, 25-18. If you didn't see Migelini's Super Bowl posts in my Live Super Bowl XLVI Blog, here they are:
-
New England Patriots (15-4) - Previously: #2 - I wanted the Patriots to win because the players dedicated their season to Robert Kraft's late wife. Unfortunately, some of the key members of that team came up short. Tom Brady missed Deion Branch for two big gains in the fourth quarter. Wes Welker had a bad drop that could have iced the game. Even Bill Belichick made a dumb move in challenging a pretty obvious reception, wasting away a precious timeout in the process.
Brady's performance was the most disheartening. Remember when he was the most clutch guy ever? What happening to him? As I noted in my Live Super Bowl XLVI Blog, he always came through at the very end when he was a humble guy who drove a broken-down pick-up truck. Ever since he started banging/marrying/impregnating supermodels, however, he's always failed when it matters most.
I thought I'd get some negative feedback for saying this in my live blog, but that didn't happen. I guess most people agree with me.
In honor of this, I'm going to interview two Tom Bradys. I went back in time to talk to the 2005 version, and I just spoke to the current one. Did the current Brady remember that I spoke to a 2005 version of himself? No, of course not. If I've learned anything from watching Heroes, it's that there are plenty of loopholes to be found concerning time travel.
Me: Hey Tom, thanks for taking the time to talk to me.
2005 Tom Brady: No problem, Walt. Always a pleasure.
Me: So, how does it feel to be a three-time Super Bowl champion?
2005 Tom Brady: Terrible, actually - only because I've only won three. I was drafted in the sixth round, Walt. The f***ing sixth round. No one has any respect for me.
Me: Really? Not even after three Lombardis?
2005 Tom Brady: Oh, hell no. I'm going to win at least 10 Lombardis - maybe even more - until people start recognizing me as a great quarterback.
Me: That's great that you're so dedicated to your craft.
2005 Tom Brady: I love football. Nothing is going to get in my way.
Me: Not even hot supermodels?
2005 Tom Brady: No. You know, it's actually funny you should mention that because my agent set up a date with some sort of supermodel from Brazil. I only accepted just to be nice, but she won't even like me because of my broken-down pick-up truck. Not that it matters, since I don't want anyone distracting me from my goal.
Me: I'll remember that you said that, but I'll let you go because I know you're busy. Good luck, and I'll talk to you soon!
*** Now, I am traveling through time. Weeeeeeeeeeee!!! ***
Me: Hey Tom, thanks for taking the time to talk to me.
2012 Tom Brady: Ohhhhh!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Me: Whoa, what the hell did I just warp into? Tom, my bad, I didn't know you were having sex with 16 hot supermodels at the same time!
2012 Tom Brady: Yeahhh! Yeahhhh!! Yeahhhhhh!!! It's a slow night, Walt. I usually bang 23 hot supermodels at the same time. Ohhhhh yeaaahhhhh!!!
Me: Well, I'll let you finish...
*** Five hours later ***
2012 Tom Brady: Woooo, that was fun. Hey, you're still here?
Me: Yeah, I wanted to ask...
2012 Tom Brady: Hold on, one second. Crap, I'm late to my newest UGGs commercial shoot. I'll talk to you afterward.
*** Two hours later ***
Me: Hey Tom, I just wanted a few questions...
2012 Tom Brady: Walt, can't you see that I'm busy? I'm preparing for my next magazine photo shoot!
Me: Please, it'll just take five seconds. Didn't you once say that you wanted to win 10 Super Bowls and that you didn't care about banging hot supermodels?
2012 Tom Brady: I didn't care about banging hot supermodels? Ha! What kind of loser thinks like that? Walt, I have three Super Bowl rings. That's enough for a lifetime. Do you know what's not enough for a lifetime? Only banging 23 hot supermodels per night. That's only 8,395 hot supermodels per year. My goal is to reach 20,000 hot supermodels per year, so if you multiply that by 50 years, you get an even one million hot supermodels. When I bang my one millionth hot supermodel, I can then concentrate on getting that fourth Lombardi.
Me: That's great that you get to have sex with so many hot women, but I have to say, I'm disappointed as a football fan.
2012 Tom Brady: As a football what? Look, Walt, I'd love to talk to ya, but I need to get my supersonic jet plane waxed.
Me: Supersonic jet... what happened to your old truck?
2012 Tom Brady: Ha! Like I could ever bang one million hot supermodels with that old thing.
And with that, I now feel incredibly stupid for picking the Patriots.

No the Jaguars should not bench Gabbert...I mean really? The Jags can not turn back now that they have started him. Plus he has been improving in every single game so far. All you do is hate on Gabbert in all your write ups. The Jaguars might suck as a team this year but Gabbert is actually improving. Dalton has A.J. Green, Cam Newton has Steve Smith, Gabbert has no one...give the kid some credit for trying to make magic happen when he has a shaky OL and dismal WR group.

LMFAO @ Carolina being #21!!!! Eagles being at 17!! LMAO all ahead of the Bengals which are clearly better. Walt, why are you so biased against the Bengals! Bengals should clearly have moved up to at least 17 on your rankings. Quit hating

@Andrew
You left me hanging there man I can't wait to see the rest of the sentence! I can't blame Walt for only pushing the 49ers up one spot after beating a 1-4 Philly team. Even if the 49ers had beaten the packers, I wouldn't blame him for only bumping them up a few spots; it was a single game, and they had just lost to the cowboys. The tampa win was more impressive though, so perhaps he will bump them up a couple more spots. Then you can rest easy at night knowing that one sports site has the 49ers ranked higher.

Thank you for realizing the Redskins are not the Super Bowl contenders that their fans seem to think they are. As terrible as the Eagles are playing, they'll have no problem with Sexy Rexy this Sunday.

You have the NFC East leading Redskins as the lowest ranked NFC East team. Right...

Where is L. Woodley on your top fantasy IDP list. 1.5 Sacks AND an INT...I would think that would qualify.

I'm surprised that you didn't move the Giants down farther. As a NYG fan, I am disgusted that we let Poop Salad look like Pee Soup and let Charlie Whitehurst aka Clipboard Jesus (I have enough respect for him to use his name unlike Poop Salad) look like regular Jesus.
Since I am teaching abroad, I watched the game on NFL.com's Gamepass right before my class. It literally made me sick. Seriously, I had a stomachache the whole morning. All I can hope is that this is a wake up call for the Giants to get their act together. If we lose to the damn Bills next week, I think I may have a stroke. As always, very entertaining Walt. Keep up the great work.

@Auri
Walt openly expressed his disdain for the 49ers and has often said they will never win with Alex Smith. After beating the Eagles in Philly, with Alex Smith, Walt bumped the 49ers up 1 spot. The fact that the 49ers smashed Tampa was provided as evidence of his lack of a clue. See how that works Einstein? If he

@osakporules
sorry to double post, but you're a redskins fan. and why are you calling them walt's giants. A) he lives in Philly. B) he bets why would he have a favorite team. that just hurts you when you're betting. @Andrew This was clearly written prior to their win over tampa bay, so how in the world could he take it into account that they beat tampa bay. Or are you not intelligent enough to realize that all of the records only add up to four games and that walt doesn't mention any of this past weeks games in them? I mean come on, his vikings one said they just lost to the Chiefs. This isn't super detective work here. How about you get a clue.

@U DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT
You're pathetic you moron. Read what he wrote about the Lions, and then his Wade Phillips comment might be able to penetrate your thick useless skull. |
