Cheers and Jeers: Three Wise Men

Ingredients:


Fortunately or unfortunately I wasn't raised in a polygamous household. Instead of 3 wise men to look up to, I just have one, my dad. I talk sports with Mighty Dad on a fairly regular basis and while he doesn't follow sports as intently as us nutsos that go through several series of espn news, worry about the Madden curse, play fantasy football,etc; he always has a good scouting eye. Also he's actually seen a Cleveland championship in his lifetime, which is a step up from me. I think that makes him a tad more sane than most Clevelanders you run into. So here's Mighty Dad NFL predictions:
AFC East: Miami - New England had too many losses and Dolphins D will be solid.
AFC North: Cincinnati - Will have as good as an offense as the Colts. Roethlisberger will struggle a little.
AFC South - Indianopolis - Colts still the beast of this weak division
AFC West - Denver. Solid running game always gets you far
Wild Cards - Pittsburgh - still a great defense. San Diego - There is always a big surprise so why not this.

AFC Championship - Colts v. Bengals, Bengals win as Dungy continues to come up short.

NFC East - Philly. New school coaching with Andy Reid will win out.
NFC Norris - Chicago. Defense, Defense, Defense. (although Detroit will come in second)
NFC South - Carolina - D-Line
NFC West - Seattle - Weakest Division
NFC Wild Card - Dallas (Parcells), Washington (Gibbs and D)

NFC Championship - Rematch City Seattle v. Carolina

Super Bowl: Seattle over Bengals

And now for some cheering and jeering

Cheers: To the Browns who possibly are done with their train of new centers. Since the begining of training camp the Browns have gone through 9 (yes thats nine) centers. At the end of one of the weirdest training camps on record Jimmy Donovan, the Cleveland radio play by play man, when discussing the upcoming game against New Orleans and Reggie Bush said "I can't wait to see bush". Jimmy, I too am tickled pink at the prospect of seeing bush. Man the FCC is totally busting us.

Jeers: To Texas cornerback, Tarrell Brown, who was arrested for gun and drug charges. Now he claims that he just fell asleep and these items appeared on him in his sleep. I would be skeptical however Publius has totally planted illegal items on me when I fell asleep.

Cheers: To Anibel Sanchez throwing a no-hitter. As I said a great year for rookie pitchers.

Jeers: To the rise of intersex fish in the Potomac. I always said DC's taint was serious but I had no idea it caused physical side affects.

Cheers: To yahoonews. Click the clink quickly because this is too funny.

Mega-Cheers: To the start of the NFL Season. I predict Joe Theisman tackles Kornheiser on air, Terry Bradshaw doesn't notice that James Brown has been replaced by Joe Buck and I will be confused at least twice a month as to why MNF is not on ABC. In honor of the first game tonight (Miami v. Pittsburgh) here's a little Cleveland love for the Steel City (Turkey Jones spiking Bradshaw).

Cheers and Jeers in the News:
"Cheering and jeering is a ticketable offense unless done so in the designated area at a designated time"
