obama doesn't do very well predicting sports or the outcome of his policies.

The square root of pi is about 1.77, which is not a big spread…

Scott Reid said: After that game against Atlanta, one might say that Oakland will be playing for pride this weekend. One might also say, ‘I think winter would be a good time to wage a land war on Russia’.

Nice work Reid. I almost spit out my coffee. Who knew that there are a handful of liberals in this country who would rather watch football than throw rocks at cops for their love of trade barriers.

The worst thing about scott reid spending $150,000 on clothes? He bought nothing but capri pants.

I didn’t say ‘sound’. That was a typo inputted by Feschuk! I said ’round’. They’re round. As in curved bottoms that make them unable to pivot or brace themselves.

Scott Reid said that the fundamentals of the Cowboys’ secondary are sound.

Low blow, Andy. Classic Rovian tactics right there.

Yea, well… Feschuk is a draft dodger – he totally pussed out of that whole Falkland Islands thing in the early 80s.

I didn’t give you that kidney. You tricked me into it.

And if you want to get electoral about things, good luck to you and Ponch going up against Reid Majors.*

*Lee Majors’ surname used with a very strong belief that he would lend his name, support and bionic circuitry to helping me defeat Feschuk. Just as I once helped him defeat Bigfoot.

The thing about cricket players is true. He tries to say it’s a tom wolfe homage, but that’s the real reason he dresses exclusively in white.

Feschuk comes to the world of NFL prognostication with a lifetime of experience writing books, movie reviews and other things not about football.

Exactly, not about football. The man spends half his time writing about killer robots and Charlie Sheen’s sex life, and you’re trusting him to make your nfl picks? Reid lives, breathes, sleeps and sometimes eats football. He may not be as experienced as Feschuk, but he makes me proud to be a football fan again.

in the spirit of joe biden, i would like to point out that my prognostic rival scott reid is an honourable man.

he’s one of my dearest friends.

i’ve named several pets and at least one of my children after him.

he gave me a kidney when i needed one (i wasn’t sick – i just wanted three).

but he’s an idiotic moron who couldn’t pick his nose let alone a football game.

Reid has an Obama rip-off blog post he wrote in 2008.

I’m a Reid man myself. His inspirational speech about hope, booze and Norv Turner made me want to storm into my bosses office, quit my job and… actually, I don’t have a plan after that. Maybe I just want to quit my job. In any case, Reid speaks the truth better than Feschuk in both official languages. I’m for Palin-Reid in 2012.

When you’re an NFL analyst, you don’t get do-overs.

He didn’t get it done.

He’s not worth the risk.

We’re better off with Feschuck.

What’s that you say, d. andy jette? Do you think it’s easy to make prognostications??

(well, i don’t find it that hard, but…)

I’ve never been more profoundly inspired to kick ass in my football pool. God bless you Mr. Reid. And no, I’m not crying, there’s just something in my eye.

Ahhh.. Jim Plunkett.

I remember when being a Raiders fan meant something (other than tears). How Senile does Al Davis has to get before we, the fans of the Raiders, can get a court injunction against him having anything to do with the team?
