Terrell Suggs is a kitten. Leibniz stays mediocre in NFL pics

In the first round we went 2-2, picking the big upset of the Steelers by Denver. We were all puffed up like we were better than our record indicated. Today we are a little bit humbler as our second round picks mirrored our performance in round 1. It is possible that your resident philosopher of note is nothing more than a mediocre bookie. We stand now for the playoffs at 4-4.

In the AFC we got the picks both right. But, in the Baltimore vs. Houston game we said that Terrell Suggs would do something so nasty that only native Bawlmerese dialect could describe it correctly. However, the true roughness came from the other side. J.J Watt and Brooks Reed were simply the meanest people on the field. Without disparaging T.J. Yates at all, if Suggs and Co. had shown up in their kitty cat suits against Matt Schaub it would have been a different scoreline. So, in the end we got the win right, but Terrell Suggs was not just plain mean as we thought he would have been. Tom Brady on the other hand did swear profusely. In fact as he is brushing his teeth at this moment he is saying naughty things to himself in the mirror. He just can't help it.

But in our NFC picks we were crushed. Le Régent came up to the vaunted walls of Constantinople without a speck of fear in his eyes. He marched to the weakness that is the gate of Kerkoporta. Upon entering he found himself trapped. Though Le Régent took many with him, his fall was our shame. We had figured Le Régent to be the crowned one at the end of the day. (That was our wrong pick of New Orleans over San Francisco if you are not a regular follower of our imaginative picking schemes). But our biggest humiliation came in the Packers v. Giants game. We thought that the Pack would take New York and grind him up into some kind of meat ball that we could throw Wisconsin Cheese on top and eat for our post-game celebration. There was no sandwich, no cheese curds and no post-game celebration. Eli Manning rained down fire and brimstone on the Cheeseheads, or maybe it was just Hail.
