Coming at the last possible moment, my not quite insightful NFL picks are back by unpopular demand!
I don’t have time to explain each pick and due to picking no college games this week I have opted to choose 10 NFL games at random. Here are today’s picks (and straight up this week, no points because I didn’t have time to look):
Patriots over Ravens
Steelers over Chargers
Saints over Jets
Bears over Lions
Colts over Seahawks
Redskins over Buccaners
49ers over Rams
Broncos over Cowboys
Vikings over Packers
Texans over Raiders

Fake Footbal Team for PR Class ...
I just needed to post the logo of my fake franchise so I could upload it to ESPN. Lame, I know. May I present Los Rudos de la Ciudad de Mexico ... (lame again, I know) ...

Seriously, Braves? Adam LaRoche
Seriously, Braves?
The big move was trading for a player hitting .250 a second time, in turn creating arguably the worst defensive right infield in baseball, and acquiring "power" from someone who averages 22 home runs a year.
Meet Adam LaRoche. Again.
Is Frank Wren waiving the white flag and is it time to start FireFrankWren.com?

"Georgia State Has the Bats to Compete"
Cross-town rivals will square off in the first day of the 2009 NCAA baseball regionals, as Georgia State (four seed) will travel to Georgia Tech (one seed) for the first game in what should be a offense-heavy Regional grouping.
State, who seemingly has more success at Tech than when hosting the Yellow Jackets (10-1 win at Tech compared to a 2-18 slaughtering at home in 2009), will need to produce runs to match the high-powered bats of Elon and Tech, who respectively rank first and second in the nation in home runs per game (2.34 and 1.96). However, ESPN’s preview of the Atlanta Regional claims our Panthers, “… [have] the bats to compete”:
According to Aaron Fitt of Baseball America via ESPN, “Georgia State (39-20) has put together its best season in program history, winning a school-record 39 games and reaching regionals for the first time. The Panthers play hard-nosed baseball, and the tone is set by shortstop Bradley Logan (.306 with nine homers, 47 RBIs and 11 stolen bases). The balanced lineup is centered around senior Marc Mimeault (.394 with 14 homers and 58 RBIs, all team bests), one of the top offensive catchers in the nation. Though Georgia State isn't as powerful as Georgia Tech or Elon, the Panthers can hit the long ball and can manufacture runs with their speed.

But this will be an offensive regional, and Georgia State has the bats to compete.”
In addition to State, Tech and Elon, Southern Mississippi is the fourth team and three seed in the Atlanta Regional.
Georgia Tech hosts Georgia State in first game of the 2009 NCAA Baseball Regionals in Atlanta at 7 p.m. at Russ Chandler stadium. Tickets are $10 and student tickets are just $6. Visit http://www.georgiastatesports.com/ for more information.

Roids Can't Save You Now
Despite some semblance of vindication from the continued steroid-era fallout, general asshat Jose Canseco continues to buffoon himself for the limelight, seen in this fantastic clip. (I can't promise how long this will remain active, due to the YouTube copyright gremlins deleting videos at frantic pace.)
Sporting a draw to Danny Bonaduce on his professional fighting resume, sellout Canseco has
opted to resurrect his inner-MMA star against a 7'2'' Korean mountain named Hong Man Choi (yes, no shit, his name his Hong Man).
In defense of the always creepy Canseco, he manages a decent strategy of flailing haymaker followed by run like hell for nearly a minute. But after
catching a staggering jab to the grill, Canseco trips on himself and tweaks a knee. After one final helpless kick, Canseco collapses, content to be pummeled by Andre the Giant's Korean cousin.
(Continued ....... )
In unrelated news ...
Dwight Howard = clutch. (On both the offensive and defensive ends of the court, overtime free throws and block respectively.)
