Bik's Week 1 NFL Picks: Back to the Future

So last night, I saw Michael J. Fox on TV promoting his new show on NBC – also there was football.... There was a sign here – because last night was essentially “Back to the Future.” If you had told me that Peyton Manning was going to have a historically great night with Dallas Clark and Brandon Stokely on the field, I’d assume it was 2006 and I’d ask you for your copy of the “Grays Sports Almanac.” Wow – just wow about Peyton.

Bik's Week 1 Thursday Night Pick: Welcome Back

Hey so did you see that highlight in the baseball season – where that player dove and caught the ball, then got up and tossed it to first base for an out??? Yea me too... I saw it about 200 times. As I’m sure you did too. Or the one where the guy hits a home-run. Or the one where the player jumps up against the wall to make a grab and save a home-run. I guess it was impressive stuff especially since baseball has no cheaters and did all those plays cleanly. Needless to say, I gladly welcome one of the best days on the calendar as it’s the return of NFL Football and the end of having to watch baseball.

Bik's Week 1 Picks: UPDATED

The first full weekend of NFL Football is finally here after that Wednesday Night game. A Thursday night game is always great because once it’s done you only have to get through a mild Friday workday before the weekend is upon you and football is back on the TV. Friday is full of water-cooler talk of how great the game was. We play “Armchair Quarter-Back” and break down the game to see how we would have done it differently. And it makes Friday go by even faster. Yet here we are, nearly 48 hours removed from the kick-off to Week 1 and it’s still only Friday. Well thanks a lot Barrack Obama. Thank you very much. Thanks to the Democratic National Convention and that big show-piece, we’re left to go 88 hours without seeing 22 men on a gridiron. I’m not necessarily rooting against you (especially considering I have no vote) but if you do lose the election, you can point to this moment as to why the voting public turned against you. It’s a big gamble and a big risk to pull a stunt like this and it could be damaging beyond repair. If only I had an empty chair nearby to ask you personally...
