Week 15 Preview

As 2008 winds to a close we are forced to look back on this year and see how this year was much the same as last year.

Really, most of your life will be like this year, except in the future you will be fatter and have less hair on your head and more hair on the rest of your body.

 

So, as it was in 2007 so it is in 2008. Tiger Woods is still the world's best golfer.  Chief Red Beard is still single. The Chairman is still the best in the K&S Football Tourney.

 

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Guarantees of the Week  

21 – 4 – 1 this year. I feel as if I have conquered the Weekly Guarantee almost as much as I have conquered the K&S Football Tourney.  Here's a couple more.

 

1st, Take the points and the Bucs. The Falcons are 3 point favorites. That's the standard points given to the home team in a pick'em type game. Still the Bucs are coming off an embarrassing loss to at Carolina and if they lose again this week their playoff hopes would be in serious peril. I expect the Bucs to right their ship on defense and shut down the Burner and make Matt Ryan beat them. The Falcons are one of the great stories this year but let's face it, there not the Panthers so take the points and expect the Bucs to keep it within 3.

2nd, After taking shots at his head coach you can expect Portis to show why he demands respect and the ball. This week you can count on the Redskins winning if they simply commit to running their horse. If Portis gets 20 carries then he will out rush the entire Bengals team.

Game(s) of the Week
There is one game with two division leaders playing each other this week. In the desert the Vikings look to upset the Cardinals without their starting quarterback.  The good news for the Viks is that the Cardinals aren't playing for much at this point. The NFC Worst has already been wrapped up and it is doubtful that a first round bye is possible. The bad news for the Vikings is that Tarvaris 0 – for Jackson is going to be taking snaps in place of the injured geriatric Gus Ferrotte.

If I were the Vikings I would install the option, 1998 Nebraska Cornhusker style option for the next two weeks. They should let Peterson, Taylor and Jackson run the ball about 20 times each. This is their best hope of holding onto their division lead. 

Personal Advise (Tips for Winning at Life)

Insurance is a good thing. In fact, it is virtually a necessity once you have a family to take care of. So, get good coverage from a reputable broker. However, if your insurance broker happens to be a very attractive mid-20s blonde haired, blue-eyed woman then try not to shout out her name every time there is an envelope in the mail from All-State. In fact it is probably best if you don't memorize her name, that way you won't be saying it every time you hear someone say "insurance".

And leave those magnets that she sent you with her picture and phone number off of the front of the refrigerator. Take them to work instead. Trust me.

 

As Always, I love you guys.

The Chairman
