On Day 1, Ol' Leibniz went 1-1 on his predictions.
On Day 2, Leibniz went 1-1 again. But, we were better because of the nature of our picks.
First, the wrong. We thought Atlanta would edge out New York because of the king's tendencies to abdicate at the first sign of trouble. But, Atlanta proved to be a poor reflection of William of Orange. Maybe it was the stinginess of the Dutch that held them back from splashing out on offense. Maybe it was that they thought the glorious revolution, a bloodless coup, could happen again. But, lightning never strikes the same place twice. Atlanta got crushed and couldn't score at all.
But, our shortcomings were dramatically overcome by our picking of Saint Tebow and the Broncos over the Steelers. Don't believe me, click here. Check the date. It says January 4, 2011. We were right. Na na ne boo boo. You know the rest. There were daggers in those smiles. Daggers like the one thrown by Tim Tebow in overtime. And now we are left with a topsy turvy playoff picture. Can we believe? Is it safe? Let us pick Tebow all the way? Or have we eaten on the insane root, that takes the reason prisoner?
