Wilbon and Kornheiser were wrong...

I'm this year's biggest turkey, as my good friend Brian "the Great" kindly pointed out...

Benji,
I know you love your theory about how the southern teams can't handle the cold of the northern teams. How come you don't consider that the lions play in a dome? common, the falcons won't have to worry about the cold at all. Plus i'm watching the game and the lions are sucking, no wonder you're 13 picks behind me.

In other news, i saw the 100th meeting between framingham and natick today, and i nearly froze my nuts off. it was snowing and balls cold. okay benji, have a good break.

What can I say, I'm an idiot...Obviously if the Lions are capable of hosting a Super Bowl living in the snowy North, then they would have to play in a dome. I knew that they did, I think I was just so impressed that my snowy weather theory had worked so well thus far (and has yet to let me down) that I acted rashly without thinking. I will make up for it by proving my wintry environment theory to still be correct in one of my picks on Sunday (see if you can guess which one before I pick). At any rate, it's been an off year for me this year picking games and I don't forsee myself making much of a stir in the regular season...Maybe I'm saving it all for the playoffs? We shall see...Any way you look at it, I'm still better at picking than Brian's man Chris Berman...Perhaps he should find a new sportscaster to idolize who actually has a vague understanding of the sports that he covers....

Benji,
Good reply, but the lions lost, so how can you say your "theory had worked so well thus far (and has yet to let me down)" when you posted at 8:30 pm after the lions got smashed along with your theory?
In more important news, not really important as interesting, I have been doing research for my Monday Night Football paper, and guess who was one of the people that made the final cut to be an commentator before Dennis Miller finally got it. If you had said Rush Limbaugh, you actually would have been correct, but that's not what's cool. Another finalists was PTI's very own Tony Kornheizer. Now i really like Kornheizer so I think that would have ruled for him to be on MNF, but now looking back on it, he is so good on PTI that i don't want to share him with the rest of the nation. He's MY tony kornheizer, no more for you!
