Keeneland

The Pix will be very abbreviated this week as The Pix is leaving Friday afternoon for what used to be a monthly occurrence and sadly is now an almost endangered species: a boys weekend. The Pix flys to Cincinnati for dinner at the Montgomery inn "Boathouse" where multiple platters of pork ribs will be consumed accompanied by an adult beverage or three while hopefully watching the Rangers eliminate the frauds from the bronx. Pleasing, pleasing and triple pleasing.
Then it is off to the Mecca of horse racing.....



Keeneland in Lexington, KY. Riding shotgun with the Pix will be Curtis "touchdown" Ott and Robert C. Moore, aka, the man who Vegas fears. After a couple seven Jim Beam and cokes, it will be off to UK vs Georgia.....






Naturally, the Pix will be back in the nest in plenty of time for the Pats 4:15 kickoff against the Chargers.

The internets were a little slow this week. The NFL and the media continue to protect Breet, despite stating two weeks ago that they would immediately be launching an investigation. RRRight..................if by investigation you mean waiting two weeks to simply call him and ask the elderly sexter if, in fact, the pictures of Breet's meat and two veg were sent to Jen Sterger...yes or no? YES???? or NO???? Breet's non denials in addition to Deanna Favre's non denial today on Good Morning America would seem to be fairly obvious. But Fraudger Goodell is too busy fining players for playing football. This cover up is going to be more mismanaged than Sarah Palin's fake pregnancy. Oops. Stand by for standing by.....
One last Breet comment:


......thanking one Jeff Forbes.

It seems NPR is finding themselves in a bit of a political correctness pickle. After firing news analyst Juan Williams for admitting he got nervous on planes when he saw folks decked out in the latest muslim garb, the station is taking some heat. Honestly, when the Pix sees this:


boarding a plane..........the palms start to get a little moist. When the pix sees these guys demanding their boarding passes.......


Um, yes, nervousness ensues. The Pix would simply like to hook up a heart monitor to the suits at NPR and have them take a transatlantic flight with some of the players above and let us watch the ekg burst into flames. If it is in fact true that the suits at NPR had been looking for an excuse to fire Williams, fine. But it seems to the Pix that what Juan Williams said is what every American feels. None of us go to the airport and not think about 9/11. It usually hits the Pix when I am standing in a 45 minute security line while trying to take off my belt and shoes and pull out my plastic baggie of 3 0z toiletries while wondering why Faisal Al Bombeeb is sailing through the line with his prayer rug and box cutter. Sorry, NPR.....the Pix gets nervous too.

Moving along to football, the Pix would like to file a missing persons alert for this young man......


He was last seen running off center vs Salem on 31 out of 40 offensive snaps. Through the same hole. Message to the coaching staff at MHS.....your offensive game plan is less complex than anything the Pix has seen in many many years of watching football. In Greek mythology, the character Sisyphus is ordered to roll a huge rock up a steep hill, only to have the rock roll over just before it reached the top. Sisyphus then repeated this (by Zeuss' comand) for eternity. The PIx isn't sure who has it worse, #20 or Sisyphus. What makes matters more frustrating is that there is a wealth of talent on this team. The Pix acknowledges that coaching is easy from the sideline, but it sure seems that a lot of good kids who have worked very hard are not being put in a position to succeed. More on this team in the coming weeks.....

Uh, oh......stain alert!.....


What would Pix 2010 be without an update from the campaign trail featuring the anti-masturbation witch and self proclaimed constitutional scholar? During this week's televised debate between Ms. Odonnell and Chris Coons, the AMW asked her opponent where in the constitution does it say anything about the separation of church and state. You know what? The Pix isn't even going to comment. Let' just move on.......and it was nice knowing you, Christine. The Pix prays that we haven't seen the last of you. You are comic gold.

Finally, a little football. The Pix suffered multiple heart attacks and strokes watching the Patriots last weekend. True story: the official wife was circling the neighborhood in the family shaggin wagon texting the Amesicle if it was safe for her to return home. Not sure if that says more about the fragile nature of domestic life or is a depressing and frightful insight into what it is like to co-habitate with the Pix......did I say that out loud? Ummm, never mind. Seems like a good time for a boys weekend.

The Pix went 8-3-2 against the spread last week and is feeling lucky. In anticipation of cashing in at Keeneland tomorrow, the Pix will narrow the field of NFL games to wager (for entertainment purposes only) on.

Kentucky +4 vs. Georgia. Cats wont't lose with Pix in the house.

Pitt -3 at Miami. Shockingly, James Harrison decided to come back for his 50 million dollars rather than follow through on his threat to retire due to the new anti-decapitation rules the NFL is implementing. This is the same jackass who got cut by his first two nfl camps and then overnight turned into a raging beast and perennial all pro. Note to NFL: your drug testing policy has less teeth than grandma Walton post stroke (for you All Marblehead). Can we please get James to pee in a cup? Seriously??

Ravens -13 over Bills. I mean......the Bills? How hopeless can an organization be for so long? Final score: Baltimore 31, Buffalo 3.

Arizona +6 over Seattle. Just a hunch, but Larry Fitz is due to go off. And the Seahawks rarely show up two weeks in a row.

NE +3 over SD. Pix told you to go big on Pats last week. Brady and the GURU bailed out Pix and rallied for the push. No push this week. Pats big. Pix loves how the defense is coming together. Jemaine Cunningham (we are not relations) is emerging as the new Willie McGinest and Chung plays saftey like no other Asian the Pix has ever seen.

GB -2 over Viqueens. This game feels like a massive Karma bomb. Huge potential for irony, coincidence, fortuitousness and intergalactic justice. The Pix says Moss drops a big pass and Breet is struck by lightning. Literally. The Pix will then delete the blog, as there will never be anything to opine about again. One can only hope.

Pix out.....
