A quick review with a Super pick
By The Picker
1/31/2008
It seems like only seven months ago when we all came together to find each other weird and pick some games and straighten out certain social issues, like exposing media homers; it was, in fact, exactly that long ago, suggesting the relationship went well.
There is some wrap-up work to be done before the Super Bowl pick.
Don't skip ahead, you could miss something great.
April Angst
So much for March Madness.
The college basketball final game is April 7!
The lateness of the Final Four weekend has been caused by global warming.
We're Around
As everybody knows, 98 percent of people discussing sports online are unbalanced.
The exception is the Picker blog spot at cf,fgc tulsaworld.com/sportsextra. b = [100.0]
Only 89 percent of responders there are goofy, a world record.
Nickname of the Year
That would be the title we coined for OU coach Stoops.
Medium Game Bob.
Running Quarterbacks Fall Flat
Again.
The top college High School Harry running backs are in casts.
According to our figures, here are the running stats for the Super Bowl quarterbacks.
On the season, Eli Manning ran for 8 feet, 11 inches.
Brady ran for 9 yards, 2 feet, 1 inch.
National TV Sports People Stink It Up
Outside of the women, most of whom are excellent, and Tulsa's own John Anderson, ESPN's anchoring gigs have become a Parade of Nerds, showcased by Neil Everett, the worst anchor in the history of color television.
About all he does is scream unfunny things.
Question of the Year?
How can a media person be on the payroll of a team he or she purports to cover with objectivity?
Announcer's Quote of the Year.
Basketball chatterbox Jimmy Dykes said that a fantastic dunk had just interrupted his story.
The Picks
SUPER BOWL
New England (-12) versus the Giants: Start time sounds like a NASA launch, goes at 5:17, central.
Of almost equal interest to the game is the parade of commercials, which has been flat in recent years.
Which was the best commercial last year?
See, the problem is, hardly anybody knows what's funny, so they make the commercials for pinheads who will laugh at anything.
It's depressing to hear the public at large enjoy dumb commercials, so wise up, okay?
A good commercial is one that has a creative element to it -- something original.
Here are key supporting cast members Sunday.
Fox sports: The best.
Ryan Seacrest: To handle the red carpet March of Plastic.
Seems comfortable not having much talent.
Terry Bradshaw: Fake laugh, annoying.
Pre-game host Curt Menefee: Average at best.
Switzer and coach Jimmy: Hilarious, and perceptive to boot.
Joe Buck: Wishes he were much funnier.
Aikman: Good.
Howie Long: Fine.
Caliendo: The people he imitates should be half as funny as the act.
The weather woman: Not just another front.
Game: Everybody and their dogs like the underdogs, the Giants.
Manning Lite can play with Brady?
Get out of here.
And get those sourpuss old Dolphins out of here as well.
New England by 17.
