When i was in college i ate his shit up. Then the Patriots got good, then the Red Sox got good, then the Celtics got good, and he became practically insufferable. To the point where i can barely read him. var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-2133172-1");pageTracker._trackPageview();
This week's NFL Picks column is the coup de tat, where pretty much everything he says i want to fucking punch him in the face for. Not to mention his picks suck fucking ass. Fuck he pissed me off. Fuck!
Below is his picks, followed by own, better picks. Trust me, i'll let you know how this shakes out. Simmon's picks first, mine in parentheses.
(And these are not my picks, I'll throw those up later.)
Titans +1 over Bengals. (Bengals -1 Tenn)
Vikings +2 over Colts (Colts -2 Vikings)
Bears +3 over Panthers (Panthers -3 Bears)
Falcons +7 over Bucs (Bucs -7 Panthers)
Saints pick 'em Redskins (I pick Saints as well)
Bills +5 over Jags (Jags -5 Bills)
Packers -3 over Lions (I agree)
Giants -8.5 over Rams (I agree)
49ers +7 over Seahawks (Seahawks -7 49ers)
