What, you thought no pix on the short week? Au contaire mon frer. This
flu ridden poor excuse for a man is hopped up on Dayquil, Afrin, coffe,
Halls and still has the remnants of Gunner Lamb's organic brownies
floating in the system. You can't stop the pix, you can only hope to
contain them. As we prepare for the holiday weekend, it's a good time
to reflect on amusing anecdotes from Thanksgivings past and take a
moment to analyze the current state of the pharmaceutical industry and
how it advertises during football season. Food, booze, male enhancement
drugs, family dysfunction and......the Pix.

Mia-3 at Detroit.....Joey Harrington returns to his dysfuntional roots
and passes for 300 yards while looking up at Matt Millen in the Luxury
box the way the Rocket stared down the Duke upon his return to Fenway.

Dallas-11 over Bucs. What's wrong with Jessica Simpson's mouth during
those dish network commercials? Her face has more ticks than Johnny
Mitchell after a bad weed deal.

KC pick over Denver. Contrary to original plans, the Skybox will be
closed due to a petri dish of microbials floating in the atmosphere of 4
Savoy.

Wardo -17 beverages Wed afternoon and evening. 19th hole, Mandarin,
Ripper, Flynnies, Ripper, Italian place, Ripper, Fantasy Island.

Pat's -3 over Chicago. Enzyte is currently being advertised during all
footall games. It is a pill that promises to add, um, enhancement and
satisfaction. In other words, it's supposed to make your unit grow.
Here's my question, if it works, wouldn't someone out there get carried
away and end up with a 3 foot python? It's like wrinkle cream for
women. Billions of dollars are spent by women on wrinkle cream, yet all
women have wrinkles. You would think they would have this figured out
by now.

Buff +3 over Jax. And if Enzyte worked, do you really think you would
need and advertising campain? I'm thinking word of mouth might be
enough here. Wait, there's a pill that erases the Irish curse? I think
I'd pay more than $39.99. Just sayin.

B'more -3 over the Turd Burglar. If Enzyte worked, Fast Willie Parker
would be Willie the Tripod. But the Burglar would still throw 3 picks.

Cimmats -3 at the Cleve. My guess is that Romeo Crennel doesn't need
Enzyte. Michael Richards, was that you?

Minn-6 over AZ...I have a hard time with some drug company names. I
understand Viagra and Levitra, but what is Cialis supposed to mean?
Were Bonera and Stiffhardia already taken?

SF +5.5 over Rams....Still on big Pharma here. Did they really need 3
competing pills that all do the same thing and then spend billions in
advertising? Couldn't the gov't step in and say thanks for the dix
pills guys, now back to cancer research. It just doesn't make sense to
me.

Atl -3 over NO. In roughly 1998 I was at Thanksgiving in Yonkers NY.
It was my first Thanksgiving away from Lolo's table. There was celery
in the mashed potatoes and walnuts in the stuffing. Shortly thereafter,
papers were filed. Shout out to Dan Quayle on the potatoe.

Carolina-4 over Skins. AT TK in roughly 2000 I was in Beverly Farms.
It was my first TK at the Pruett ranch and the thermostat was at 100 cuz
Grandma P was still kicking. I wore a blue shirt and a tweed jacket.
They sat me next to the fireplace. All the men removed their coats
before grace and I was pitted out from my neck to my elbows. Good
times.

Indy -9 over Philly. Donna Sheehan, age 76, is organizing a Global
Orgasm for peace this week. True story, check the Drudge Report. Not
sure about the peace thing, but the Pix generally endorses the other.

Giants -3 at Ten....Enzyte is the official enhancment pill of the
Giants. Get it?

Oak +13 at Sd. Let down week for Chargers.

Seattle NL over Breet. I loved the way Breet came out of the locker
room in the second half 5 minutes after the rest of his team and then
ran back during another play stoppage. Not that Breet is an attention
monger or anything.

That's it. Sorry not up to Jihad standards this week. Have a happy
Thanksgiving everyone.
