and I’M the one going to hell!?!?!?

There is SO much that could be said about the innocent night out with coworkers I just had, but let me put it like this:

If someone yells the line, “Jesus hasn’t been here yet, motherf@%$er!!!” at you in a crowded bar, does the night automatically become a success?

I thought so.

It was a good night, though. I’ve found that bars in downtown Indy can be a bit pricey, but I guess bars in any downtown district are about the same. It makes beers a little closer to home that much more attractive. But the time downtown was good, and I met a few more co-workers who I really never thought I could hang with, but are actually all right, which is cool. Very similar (sick, demented, twisted, wrong, etc.) sense of humor, and an enjoyment of drinking until they turn the lights on. This is good.


Anyway, its really late, and I need to get my NFL picks in and get to bed, so here goes:

STL, BUF, NO, NYJ, ATL, BAL, MIN, NE (for once NOT taking the Browns, which means the Browns will in fact rise up for Terry Robiskie and win this one, 24-21), DET, IND, OAK, SD, NYG, PHI, JAX, SEA.

Quickly before my head hits the pillow, Gregg Brandon is staying on as coach at Bowling Green, which is very good, though I think the school needs to start looking now for his replacement when he leaves next year. If he’s getting nibbles now, he’s in line for ALOT of big offers after this coming season. BG brings alot to the table and could surprise Wisconsin in the season opener, play Boise State even up in another non-conference game, and Temple is Temple. In MAC play, worst case scenario is that they stay in the West and have to face NIU and Toledo, but they get them both at home. Eastern and Central Michigans could be tough, but I think they’re both at home as well. If BG goes to the East, they’d likely play Miami and Toledo as their “tough games”, but both at home. It could be a HUGE year for Falcon football!

That is all. If your name is Greg, Kurt or Pete, or understand my sense of humor, be sure to ask me about the part of the night I can’t share in public. It’s vintage Tony, I promise.

Oh yeah! I think I finally found a death pool I can get in. No big money, apparently, but plenty of fun and token prizes. If you can help me fill my roster of 15 folks who will stop breathing permanently in the next year, my email is to the right. More on this later, I promise.
