Ugh.......So lets take a look at my picks for my pool.
There were six 1 o'clock game starts and i went and got all of them right!
then i went on to get the rest of sundays picks wrong. Ugh Ugh, its moments like this that make me hate gambling, well until today of course. Today I put my money down on week 8's picks. But I going to make people wait till friday to post them(joke. I know no one is reading)
I watch Nasa finally launch that damn rocket and it was pretty damn cool. Usually I hate the space program, believe you me, I hate it so much, we can go to the moon but cant even go to the bottom of the ocean. and theres nothing even on the moon, just a bunch of bad cheese. But I will admit this rocket launch was really cool and understand why we still mess around with the space program, its all about prestige.
On to the World Series, Everyone that knows me, knows that I hate pretty much everything to do with Philly and so I going to have a really hard time trying to look at this objectively. But the reason I have to pick the Yankees in 6(please god, do not let Joe Girardi screw me on this) I still think, along with many others, that that AL is just plan better then the NL. Just take a look at Brad Penny playing in the AL and then the switch over to the NL that made him look like Cy Young. So on the basis's that the NL plays softball, Yankees in 6
(Oh and I'm probably more excited about Jay-Z before the game then I am for the game)
Oh and the Pistons have their first game tonight in Memphis.......Thats all I really have to say. (well also just need to push my prediction of Toronto being a good team this year, say 4th in the east?)
Forza Roma(game just kicked off)

UGH.....Roma
Roma 0-1 Livorno
I mean that is really should say it all. People can try and come up with excuses, Livorno aren't going to go winless all seasons, they were bound to break their losing streak sometime, they have a new manager and are experiencing their honeymoon period, no, that is complete bullshit.
Roma, just as of 2008, beat real madrid in the champions league and now we can't even beat livorno at home? really?
I'm sorry the only time, the only time, it might be, might be ok to lose to a newly promoted team at home is if you already have the title locked up in say the 35th round other then that it is complete unacceptable.
Roma are playing waaaaay to lazy, I keep trying to defend Roma and Serie A for their slow style of play, but after the Livorno game, I can no longer say that this is a style of play that can win games, let alone trophies.
I read the Castle di Sangro, and in the book the manager, Jaconi, he did not like foreign players, saying that they would take them too long to learn the system of Serie B(ok, we know this not to be true, Serie B tactics are about a complex as paris hilton). But Jaconi also thought that they did not have the character or toughness and this maybe be true in roma's case.
Ok, not for all foreign players on Roma but maybe for just a few, because I happen to like Faty and Riise, but the two players I have found to be leaving something to be desired from them, Menez and Vucinic.
I hate to say it about Vucinic, I think he is a player of great talent, but he needs to grow up and stop pouting, he misses a chance and its the end of the world, instead of pushing it out of his mind and getting stuck in.
Menez, what to say about Menez. I was never particular fond of him when he came over from monaco last year, frankly, he just dives too much. But this year, he has shown some real talent and promise, the only problem is that he does not seem to care.
I call these players out with the contrast being Stefano Guberti, a player who came on the field sunday and tried as hard as he could to make an impact on the game. But on the same note, not all foregin players did not play their best, Faty and Riise gave their best.
What should Roma do? well the only idea I have to break out of this God awful slump is the play players not on talent but on their hard work, their hustle and the wanting to play well.

NFL Week 7
Ok I promise that this isn't a NFL blog.
But in saying that I gonna give you my week 7 picks
San Diego- KC
KC is pretty terrible, maybe able to make this a game early on, but there is no doubt of this one
San Diego
Indy-St Louis
This game is just awful.
Indy
Cinny-Chicago
ok well i picked Chicago but im having some reservations but Cuter and Forte have to have one good game together and hopefully the chicago proves me wrong and show some competence.
Chicago
Green Bay-Cleveland
another ridiculous game, the gap in the NFL is almost as bad as the rich poor gap in China,
Green Bay
Minn.- Pitt
This is will be the first lost for Minn., Farve in an outdoor game facing a decent D, but a D with Big play opportunity, especially with Polamalu coming back.
NE-TB
the only interesting thing about this game is it is in London
NE
Houston-San Fran
San Fran showed week 5 that they can give up the big play,Houston will finally win back to back games
Houston
NYJ-Oakland
Well well well, i guess people spoke to soon(me included) Mark Sanchize is definitely a rookie and my man love for Nnamdi Asomugha knows no bounds
Oakland
Carolina-Buffalo
ugh awful, just awful, Buffalo cant stop anyone on the ground, and they almost lost to a team were the QB Mark Sanchize threw 5 Ints, that gives hope for Jake Dehlomma(i dont care about spelling his name right, I'll spell his name right when he doesnt suck)
Carolina
NO-Miami
come on wildcat! I think that NO will be the classic case of better team off a big win losing to a team that they should beat
Miami
Dallas-Atlanta
Dallas is bad and banged up, Atlanta really should have lost last week but so it goes, Micheal Turner has a big week
ATL
NYG-Arizona
well this could be an INT-fest(depending on the weather) if there is crazy wind, which neither Warner nor Eli Manning can pass in it well, So I'll take NYG, better D
NYG
Philly-Washington
So we learned today Jim Zorn will keep his job till the end of the year....they are trying to get the No #1 pick, actually not a bad idea
Philly

Fuck you midterm let me blog!
Ok so i finally finished all my midterms and can get this blog up.
Oh and I would like to thank Autumn for finally showing up the day after I tape up my windows, thanks.
On the the NFL: I think its time we look at players such as Orton and Cedric Benson and take the blame off of them for their bad playing in Chicago and look at Lovie Smith and the Coaching staff. Take a look a Cutler and Forte this year, not impressive at all, Cutler has 7 ints and Forte is averaging only 58 yards a game in 5 games this year.(ok maybe Cutler isnt playing that bad but is he just overcoming a bad team/system?) Only time will tell whather or not Chicago coaching is at fault or not, but its just a thought.
I watching Everton v Benfica, it is now 4-0 Benfica 7 mins into the second half, Everton has no heart no fight and no grit and thats why they can never do anything in europe, they have an inferiority complex that they buy into and that will not be easily broken.
Well I guess me talking about the MLB playoffs is a little late, I just have not been watching much because I hated all the cities/teams in the ACLS and NCLS- but it looks like Phillies v Yanks. I hate to say this, go yanks.
I hate Philly so much and this only adds to it, I mean the fans are just awful, awful people and then they get a chance at redemption and running with a situation that could be hilarious but no they cower away like a group of 13 year olds. what a missed chance.
Well im off to class, going to have to avoid the score of the Fulham v Roma game, I am the king of ruining games that I tape. This actually should be a good game, I hate to say it, without Totti, Roma and Fulham are almost equal.

terrible sports weekend
ugh, of course, the first three weeks of the season i dont bet on the games, i get so many picks right, and now that im putting money on it, well thats another story.
Just looking at week 6, Buffalo, Oakland and Atlanta can go to hell. Well maybe not Atlanta, but definitely Oakland and Buffalo.
Buffalo losing to a team the scores 6 points with the opposing QB going 2 for 17 and then they beat the Jets, it seems the honeymoon is over for Rex Ryan.
And Oakland, Oakland? Russell and Cable? yup they beat Mcnabb and Andy Reid.
Andy Reid is extremely overrated as a coach, a coach that can get you their but can't win the big games, or maybe now not even the small ones, but what do you expect when you only run the ball 14 times?!
And then Roma lose to Milan....... yup Milan, I dont care what Milan did in the past they are just plan awful this year. But thats what happens when you dont finish your chances.
Well at least I got crepes and Sushi this weekend, but just a giant fuck you to the NFL this weekend, you cost me many hours of studying and the potential of 100$
