<p>I didn't write a column this week...too busy. But don't worry, the columns are going to be particularly nasty in the coming weeks; we're talking a throwback to 2004 when Court used to IM me after seeing my drafts with: "Are you sure you want this in print?"
Ahem.<br /><br />"Pretentious poetry.<br /><br />Random use of "cunt".<br /><br />More pretentious poetry."<br /><br />Thank you. {takes a bow}
<p>So I saw "the Departed" on Friday. It was amazing. I've casually mentioned in my column and to my constituency that I felt "the Departed" had more pressure on it than any movie in the past six years.
<p>The "Hurry up and Post Your Picks, it's Saturday Edition"<br /><br />NEW ENGLAND (-9.5) over Miami<br />Body language looked pretty good last week, wouldn't you say? Fuckers.<br /><br />NEW ORLEANS (-6.5) over Tampa<br />Any of you who enjoy DeGraaf's column better pray St. Louis sweeps the Padres. He's already blogging from the rooftops.<br /><br />Buffalo (+10) over CHICAGO
Just kidding...I wanted to see how many people we could get to view this blog.<br />Anyway, here's day two of the blog.<br />
<p>In case you missed it, Nate and me are blogging about the baseball playoffs. <a href="https://www.pointsincase.com/nathan/2006/10/mlb-email-exchange-is-back.html">Here are our predictions for the series</a> (plural). Is it serieses? Serieux? The fuck? <br /><br />Nate's thoughts on Day one:
<p>Every so often, I write "smart" columns. These are columns that go beyond the typical "I jerk off with my dog in the room" mentality that let me grace a section in a National Lampoon book. This week, I wrote about journalist source protection and expected comments on par with the following:<br />"That was a littl smrt for me."<br />"You used to be funny. What happened?"<br />"Bwah?"<br />
<p>Reader Heather commented on DeGraaf's picks last week (if you think I'm linking you there, you're insane) that DeGraaf's picks were better because he was always right. Despite this, (a) we were both 10-6 last week, (b) I murdered DeGraaf in the playoff picks last year and (c) Heather's a cumcatcher.<br /><br />Moving on to Week 3, and give me some credit, these are almost impossible picks
<p>As is the norm on this site, anything DeGraaf can do, I have a bigger penis. Welcome to Week 2 of the NFL season and here are my picks. For gambling purposes only.<br /><br />(HOME team in CAPS)<br />
<p>Some of you are aware of my hideous showing in the PIC fantasy league. To be fair, it's ranked sixth on my priorities behind my fantasy baseball league with my college friends, my hardcore fantasy baseball league with my college friends, beer, masturbating and YouTube. So let's turn to football with my Fantasy 25.<br />
And with that, the innocence is now completely lost.<br />
<p>Nate: I posted the rest of our e-mails on my blog around the time the Sox lost. I'll understand if you don't want to continue doing the e-mail thing. And I know you've already heard a bunch of that "well at least the Yankees lost too shit," as if that should make you feel any better.<br /><br />But you know it has to.<br /><br />At least a little right?<br /><br />3 questions<br />
