My All-Sarcasm Week 13 NFL Picks
My picks for the weekend are up, including…
Houston (-3.5) at Jacksonville: If NFL teams were holiday food, the Jaguars would be the equivalent of that one casserole dish where it doesn’t matter what the ingredients are, it just never comes together. You have high hopes when you scoop it onto your plate, then you feed it to the dog when no one else is looking.
Pick: It’s in the link.
Check it out, kids.
– Reid Kerr thinks “Lethal Weapon” counts as a Christmas movie.
My Thanksgiving NFL Picks
My Thanksgiving and Friday NFL picks are in, along with my long list of sports things I’m thankful for this year. Check out the link here for semi-insightful commentary like this…
And I am thankful (something something) the Jets. Seriously, guys, I’ve run out of jokes about this franchise, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the final weeks of the season. Will they bench Aaron Rodgers? Will Woody Johnson land his helicopter on the fifty yard line during a game and fire everybody? Who knows? The situation surrounding the Jets for the last year and a half just goes to show you how completely undefinable and elusive chemistry can be. When there’s creative tension in a group chemistry, it can manifest itself in some very strange ways. Occasionally you get a perfect mix and Fleetwood Mac. Perhaps sometimes you get an Oasis, a brief window of greatness. Mostly though, you just get Dokken.
The pick is in the link, check it out, kids. And Happy Thanksgiving to all.
My Week Twelve All-Sarcasm NFL Picks
My new column for NFL Week 12 is up here, featuring such questionable insight on the worst Sunday of football ever as…
Baltimore (-2.5) at LA Chargers: The Harbaugh brothers are a fascinating contrast. Both are successful, but John is a Super Bowl winning coach who has had a very stable career, while Jim’s history is much closer to what I’d refer to as “Drunk Gary Busey with a can of gasoline and a Zippo.”
Pick: (It’s in the link.)
Check it out, kids.
– Reid Kerr feels like whatever professional or personal grouping he’s in, he’s always the Joe Walsh of it.
All-Sarcasm NFL Picks for Week Eleven
My NFL humor column is up for the week, featuring my picks for not only the games, but also the top five most frustrating franchises this season.
Cincinnati (+1.5) at LA Chargers: The rest of the league this year is 41-4 when scoring thirty-three points or more. Somehow, the Bengals are 2-3 when they score that many. That is an amazingly depressing stat. it’s like having a losing record when the opposing team forgets to come back out after halftime.
Pick: (It’s in the link)

All-Sarcasm NFL Picks, Week Ten
My all-sarcasm NFL picks for the week are up here, including mailbag questions on the Dallas Cowboys without Dak, the Saints troubles, and a team that doesn’t get enough credit for being awful.
Philadelphia (-7.5) at Dallas: The Cowboys losing Dak for a month or more and still trading for another receiver is like rotating the tires on that car sitting in your front yard that hasn’t run since 1996.
Pick: It’s in the link. Check it out, kids.
– Reid Kerr will miss the Oakland A’s, just as a general concept. You can follow him on Threads now here.
