Sunday, Oct. 30
9:30 a.m. ET Redskins at Bengals
1 p.m. ET Chiefs at Colts
1 p.m. ET Raiders at Buccaneers
1 p.m. ET Seahawks at Saints

Bye week: Ravens, Rams, Dolphins, Giants, Steelers, 49ers

It is Week 8 in the NFL and old Cody here...  has my film noir juices flowing, so all my picks are from famous film noir flicks:

Thursday night's Jaguars at Titans:
"You ain't going to like it, Johnny-- But I...    believe Allegra's Old Earlers will win."

Sunday, Oct. 30
Redskins at Bengals:
"Well, I'm in the crapper already, so why not..    pick the Deadskins to win--"

Chiefs at Colts:
"Go ahead, you guys-- Kill me...    I picked Bendy's Old Dallas Texans over the Colts."

Raiders at Buccaneers:
"Don't give me no crap! The Raiders...    will tear Tampa Bay a nice big, new one!"

Seahawks at Saints
"Are you crazy, Pete? The Saints...    will lose big to the Seahawks?

Lions at Texans:
"Okay-- I'll write the Texans beat the Lions...    but only Allegra will believe it."

Jets at Browns:
"So, you murder the Browns for me...    and nobody will ever suspect the Jets didn't win on their own."

Packers at Falcons"
"Aaron Rogers, my ass, Fat Man-- The Black Birds...    are kicking ass and taking name!"

Patriots at Bills:
"Uncle, Lon, you are fixing it...    for Tom Brady to win again?"

Chargers at Broncos:
"Phillip, you boys can practice all day with this...    but you ain't roping the Broncos into letting the Chargers win."

Cardinals at Panthers:
"How? How can we...    face Cam when he blows another game?"

Eagles at Cowboys:
"Listen, Joe-- I'm not acting here...    Dak will kick Carson's ass from here to Tuesday!"

Monday Night Vikings at Bears:
"Don't fret, dear. Go to sleep...    your bet on the Vikings is the safest one this weekend."

"No use looking on the shelf, baby-- They're not there...    The Ravens, Ewes, Phins, Jints, Stoolers and Soapy 9ers are all on a bye week sleep over."

Okay, now before Cody takes me to meet his mom...    get those picks in![/b]

Sorry, off topic but I just got back from a visit to the optometrist office here in my small Texas hometown some 56 miles south of Big D--

As I sat in the waiting area, there were seven other folks there. All were above 21, one white, two obvious Black and four obviously Latino but all of them were on their smartphones, merrily thumbing away--

The only conversation was either in Spanish between the Latinos or something I could not understand between the two Blacks guys as the mother tongue to my ear.

And the strange thing is this is becoming the norm--

No one communicates any more, they text-- Or they speak in languages not the Queen's nor any native English that I know of--

God help me, I am finding myself more and more in "The Twilight Zone" more and more each day.

So, now back to the Week 8 NFL Thread here and the stark, solid reality of all the other folk on TOS (i.e. Free Republic) condemning me to hell for even disagreeing with their demands I stop wasting time mentioning that the NFL plays games now and then. It is either I march in their parade of #never, ever, even speak of the NFL or drop dead--

From http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000727966/article/vince-lombardi-vs-bill-belichick-should-title-trophy-be-renamed

Vince Lombardi vs. Bill Belichick: Should title trophy be renamed?

"Which coach is more deserving of being the face of the Super Bowl trophy: the man in the suit and tie OR the one in the hoodie?"

Gadzooks and General Jackson-- Really?

Hey, as a Dallas Cowboys fan from day one of their existence, believe me, if any one should hate Vince Lombardi, it would be a Cowboys fan who was alive and watching when the Packers beat my Boys in the Cotton Bowl in 1966 and in the Ice Bowl in 1967--

However, as much as I hated the cursed Packers and their coach who embodied the "Winning is not everything, it is the only thing" philosophy, over the years I realized I had a grudging admiration for those Green and Gold guys who ran that power sweep ("Seal-- Seal-- Seal!") to perfection and the architect who brought the whole thing about in the 1960s glory days for Green Bay.

Now there was never, ever any hint of any kind that Vince Lombardi ever cut ethical corners or, shall we say, cheated to win a football game. That cannot be said about Bill Belichick and his organization.

Yes, Bill has won and continues to win in today's NFL but he will forever have an asterisk shadow beside his name, his team and their record. Just like all those guys who played baseball back in the steroid period, it taints them forever.

So, keep the Super Bowl Trophy clean and scandal free by keeping the Vince Lombardi name on it.

Gadzooks--  It is 27 to zip Titans at the half in Thursday Night Football--

And I have to finally admit...  my Aggies got creamed by 'Bama.

So this weekend in college ball, only a few games really mean anything to me, so my Ags play New Mexico State in a game they should win easy--

Baylor, the last Texas team that is unbeaten with a shot at getting into the National Championship gig, plays their part in the Peoples Republic of Austin's Teasip's 'Good Bye Charlie' tour.  The Bears should win and win easy also.

Navy plays the South Florida Bulls and should beat them but it will not be a pushover.

So, y'all talk amongst yourselves while I have some reading...    to finish--

Nothing like a little needless controversy to stir lower ratings.

Sheesh!!!
