IDYFT NFL Pick 'Em: Thankful for the Little Things

Totally somnolent from two complete Thanksgiving dinners with seconds and the shittiest day of football I can remember, I don't have a lot to offer except the facts.

But the NFL must rethink its automatic T-day lineup. Three shitty & boring blowouts, one of which none of us were able to see. Bluh.

The Raiders upset of the Broncos in Denver screwed a lot of shoe-ins, and no one had the foresight to pick Oaktown to win.

And in other news, for fans of IDYFT and To The Last Drop in the New York area, I have a couple of events to highlight:

On Saturday, December 6th I will be reading and signing books at KGB Bar (85 E. 4th St.) from 7-9 pm.

On Monday, December 8th I will be signing books at Sage's Pages Bookstore in Madison, NJ from 6-8.

I'll also be speaking to classes at my high school but I'm sure most of you miscreants have restraining orders and won't be able to attend.

I saw the Philly/Arizona game. Well, except for when we took a walk and then just watched other stuff because the game sucked so much ass.

1. Indy
2. 49ers
3. Uh, Detroit already lost? Does history count for anything here? No? Vikes lose?
4. New England

Jess, I'll give you the Detroit loss based on your season-long hatred (even post-Kitna) and you're stated expectation that they won't win all year. Unless I hear differently, I'll give you the Detroit loss.

But if you man-pants up and pick the Vikes to lose, good on ya.

I totally feel like I'm copping out if I don't go with the Queens to lose.
