Tday Throwball: Who ‘Dats @ ‘Boys

Well, this is an easy pick.  I hate the ‘Boys with a passion, not just because they play in the same Division as my Giants, but because their fans are the most arrogant insufferable assholes it’s ever been my misfortune to share a saloon with despite their team’s sub-par mediocre performance for at least the last decade and a half.

And they’re no better this year, at 3 – 7 Dallass is at the bottom of the Division and their Quarterback is out for the season.

The Who ‘Dats on the other hand are 7 – 3 (sound familiar?) and while I’m not expecting a miraculous Super Bowl season like last year I would think they will administer the smackdown to a team that’s not by any measure in their league.

As I mentioned, you know how to root.

Tday Throwball: Patriots @ Lions

Now you’d think living in the armpit of New England as I do I’d be a die hard Patriots fan, but in fact I’m still kind of torqued off at them screwing over Hartford to blackmail themselves into a better Stadium (paid for with Tax dollars btw) in Foxboro.

And the Lions are customarily so hapless that they have the whole underdog thing going for them in addition to being the sentimental favorite of my Troll ancestors.  Thanksgiving Day dinner was never served at Grandma’s house in central Michigan until Grandpa was done watching the Lions (which was usually shortly after the start of the 3rd quarter).

The Patsies (as I like to call them) are 1 – 2 on Thanksgiving and will probably start without Brady.  It is however a matchup of an 8 – 2 team against one that is 2 – 8 and has a notable record of futility (6 straight and 8 of 9 since 2001).

As they say, anything can happen on any given Thursday.  This will be the 3rd game for the Patriots in 11 days.
