Mid-Week 13 (Relatively) Quick Comments

So, it's been a while since my last post.  Since then I became a home owner, got married, went on a honeymoon, moved in to the new crib, and bought a 46" LED TV.  That's what brings me to now.  I'm trying to negotiate between a much needed trip to the Home Depot and enjoying my Giants on this bad ass new beast.

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to finish this post anytime soon (currently 12:45pm) and am going to have to take a game break for the needs of the household, but shiiet, just remembered, got me a new DVR.  Record that shit.  Anyway, here are some comments about the NFL season thus far.  I'm going to be typing it to you as hard as nature allows me.

1. Back in September I remember reading a Bill Simmons article about a possible sub .500 NFC West winner, and Bill's proposed restructuring of the divisions.  I always find Bill's article interesting, but it's typical that I intrinsically disagree with 90% or more of his ideas.  This is that article.  I actually agreed with Bill's restructuring idea.  Almost all of it in fact.  And now, going into Week 13, the co-leaders of the NFC West at 5-6.  One of the odd men out (projected at this point) will be the Giants (7-4), Packers (7-4) or Saints (8-3).  We'll see how it plays out, and I think Bill's new conferences give preference to his NFC Central and AFC East.  I think it's a good idea to have 4 total conferences, but they don't necessarily have to be geographically based, because, shit, they're not geographically rationalized now...
2. See my Mid-Week 4 comments, and check out the Giants dissertation I wrote at the bottom.  For the most part the Giants have won the games they were supposed to win, and won a few they were supposed to lose.  We'll see what happens in these final few games, but they going to need to beat the 'Skins today to remain in playoff talks
3. Biggest games today are Baltimore vs Pittsburgh, New York vs New England.  Smart money is on New England and Pittsburgh probably.  I'd like to see Baltimore and New York win.
4. Tampa Bay vs Atlanta - Not a fan of Atlanta.  I think I'm just a hater.  I also think Tampa has a legitimate chance to win the game.
5. Indianapolis vs Dallas - on the CBS pre-game show Boomer said, "It's Peyton Manning versus Jon Kitna..."  Then again, I haven't seen the Colts running game this exposed in years.  They're injury plagued and their linemen are getting older.  Still think Indy does it.

Peace out.
