Ok, so I'm in such a deep hole I can't win football bragging rights... On the upside, I danced all eight weekends of our RenFest, four performances a day, two days each weekend (except Labor Day weekend, with three days of dancing), for a grand total of 68 performances, with a minimum of 6 dances per performance... somewhere in excess of 400 dances... and in between, I got to romance the most wonderful of our troupe of musicians (although, strictly speaking, the romance started before Fest), which is still a huge factor in my life. So, now that I've gotten my bragging out of the way... My pathetic picks: Lions potent offense over Vikes impotent one. Miami loses, due to Culpepper. Tampa loses, just to prove a point. NY Giants lose because they overwhelmed by Dan Snyder's personality. Cleveland loses 'cause its Cleveland. Buffalo runs over another NFC Central D. Rams prove they can win outdoors. Tuxedos get pressed and fold. Raiduhs lose, thanks to Moss. Jets jest, lose. Cards fold, as is their wont, lo these many seasons. Phily comes back to earth. Chargers crush Steelers. Ravens crash. There they are. I'm not proud of my performance so far this season, but I might have reliable enough internet to go .500 for the rest of it... David
