Guy Fawkes

Remember, remember, the fifth of November. For all of us who have seen (and remembers (no pun intended)) V for Vendetta, or those who paid attention in history, today is Guy Fawkes day, or night. Who is Guy Fawkes, you might ask? Wikipedia is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_fawkes

Late or early, depends on who (where) you are

I've got my Pandora on, Floyd at the moment. 12 YO Chivas, straight, in a glass and I'm wearing woollen socks ot keep my toes warm. Just tipped a thousand words on my research paper, more specifically my lit review. I want to bang out 5-600 more before I go to bed, but I'm having a hard time finding enough good articles to put in, so we'll see where I go from here.

Fuck the Yankees.

Disclaimer

Btw, by picking early there might be some errors due too injuries or late scratches. Just telling.

Catch-up

We won our first game of the season tonight, 20-12. Our roster counted 10, theirs counted 6, we played the entire game with 7 men on the field. We really stink.

Catching up on some homework from the weekend here, I'll probably be up for another hour or so, trying to get this type down. If work or school is boring, hit me up, I'm dying to procrastinate here.

DFL picks

As we all know, DFL-bowl is being played tomorrow, where my beloved Lions take on the mighty Titans! Also, a loser-brackett game between the Ravens and the Moccasins. Games are followed by a bash at Rick's Cafe.

In honor of this festive day of awesomeness, I present to you picks, DFL-style:

Moccasins
@ Ravens
Ravens won their first game ever this season, by beating the aforementioned Moccasins in a close game. Moccasins then preceeded to lose against the Lions. Should be a hard-fought, brusing game in which the line-play of both teams play a huge factor in deciding the winner (I haven't seen you guys play, so I'm just making this shit up).
Pick: Moccasins +3.0

Titans
@ Lions
People who have been following this league since its inagural season know what the Lions are capable of, even without their most dangerous player on the field (that would be me), and having swept the competition in the regular season, I see no reason why they won't win a fourth consecutive World Championship. QB Austreim seemed very confident they would be able to shut down the Titans and put more than enough points on the board.
Pick: Lions -7.0

Turnovers by Billy Rein: O/U 2.5, you should take the over on this one.

Touchdowns by QB Austreim (not passing): O/U 2.5, taking the under since he has a very strong receiving and running game this season.

Number of jokes made about Winge at the banquet: O/U 25.5 and I'm betting the house on the over!

Good luck tomorrow gentlemen, and may the best team win!
