Don&amp;#39;t sweat it Brad. I&amp;#39;ve been reading your stuff for a while. It&amp;#39;s really the only place you can read something good about NFL football on a Canadian site. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunate the only time someone wants to leave a comment it&amp;#39;s negative. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.thescore.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=5317" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: We’re live blogging again today</title><link>http://my.thescore.com/nfl/archive/2009/01/03/we-re-live-blogging-again-today.aspx#5310</link><pubDate>Sat, 03 Jan 2009 19:10:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">80e509f7-c12b-479f-94d3-701da11a26e0:5310</guid><dc:creator>Lars</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Gee Brad; a shame your vacation wasn&amp;#39;t a week longer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#39;ve immortalized yourself ala &amp;quot;Al Bundy; from Married with Children&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;The Gagnon Picks&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s politically, even non-politically incorrect on SO many levels, BUT Stevie Wonder, Ray Stevens and even Helen Keller could outpick you (pedantically) again this weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whatever you&amp;#39;re smoking, its better than anything I got.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Initially, I was absolutely resolute to NOT return to this site; however, having made a foray, some months ago, and ostensibly I made a few eyebrows raise-comments were forthcoming (I&amp;#39;ve never looked) and here I am. Again. And so is Bradly. Sigh. Still.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On to the picks. Mine. (Thank God)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vegas must&amp;#39;ve had such a good year-well, yes, they did-that they took pity this weekend. If you&amp;#39;re getting married post-pone it. The money is better utilized-and eventually-toward your divorce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the simplest of terms: AWAY times 4.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Indy vs SD. Even if Tomlinson wasn&amp;#39;t short groined-have you seen Payton down the last 9 games? Enuf said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike Bradly, Indy wins by MORE than a cheap field goal&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Atl vs Ariz. Wow. Brad is SO cool. Not so much. Atl will take 8, 9 minutes off the clock on a score-and Ariz will take less than 2 minutes to reply. Saving grace? Atlanta. NFL Record setting 42 yards on punt returns. All year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;16 games. Can you say 2.5 yards (more or less) per return? Tre OMG. Atlanta wins by 3. Maybe less.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Phil vs Minn. Snicker. Brad, well, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. He ALMOST got it right. Little low, and a little high. Phil 38 min 13. Try...try again Brad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the jewel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Balt vs Miami.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two teams playing sand-lot football. Makes for good TV.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obviously the fish have the advantage in gimmicks-hey; its all they have. Sorry Joey Porter; which is a poor mans Ray Lewis, last ball wins. Maybe not so much. Well, ok. It is. Baltimores defense will make the offense, as usual, look better. A short field, like short skirts, makes you lick your lips. Baltimore will make the best of it. Maybe more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Baltimore 31 Miami 23&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So whats next?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least 2 of the teams winning this week, will return to the winning column next week. Scary, but obvious. Every year...contenders become pretenders. Look for Tennesse and Carolina to look glum. Both Pitt and NYG squeak in exciting finishes. It&amp;#39;s the playoffs. No gimmies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Peace Out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brad....Oh Brad.....Maybe a change in career?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How about hosting a nice cooking show?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh. Wait. Personality is required. Uhm...is Mr. Lube hiring? Or maybe a nice city job? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lars&lt;/p&gt;

Why should a division winner be gauranteed a playoff spot, let alone a home game??

Just dropped into an Internet cafe to warm up and check in with the blog. Feeling kinda down. The weather&amp;#39;s pretty bad. Lots of snow. I was wondering if I might be able to crash on your couch tonight? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
