While I don't really give a ferret's testicles about pro football (do I have to say 'American football' now that we're Cup contenders???) - IF I were to support any NFL team I suppose it would have to be the 'Boys or my family would disown me. Not that there's much riches to be had but I'm close with my clan. =s
GB, imma need some tequila STAT! I can run a tab right? HA!!

Thought for the day: Please keep in mind that the USA NFL is huge business
and, by mission policy and protective rule, all about parity and equilibrium.

Edit: Andy Beyer's thoroughbred racing advice, "Pick the horse that looks almost good enough to win" (fit, in the moment today).

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyNorv Turner was an amazing coordinator for the Cowboys who has not really gelled as a head coach. His play calling in tight spots reminds me of Marty Schottenheimer. He goes conservative/whacky, interchangeably, but unpredictably. Guts is not the issue. He just does not seem to know how to win a won game. This is his second stint as head coach and can't seem to win the big games at all.
Thank you. Quite fascinating. Seems to boil down to inept play calling in the the clinch,
lack of inspired leadership/consistent team motivation and SD's corner office culture.

Good picks but Dallas?!
Indy has choked every single year but one when another team choked better than them.
I'd say Dallas has just as good a chance to win as NO and Indy! That's right - I said it!
