I think its great that LeBron James is going to play for the Browns.  An big athletic tight end that hasn’t played organized football for the better part of a decade is just what the city of Cleveland needs to turn around its football team.

Ironically – or coincidentally, I can never remember – the answer to the Cavaliers’ problems is on the Browns’ roster.

That’s right, Brady Quinn. Now, I couldn’t find anything about him being a good player in high school and I’m fairly certain he didn’t play for the Irish basketball squad, but I did find this picture of him playing basketball.

Now, let me point out a couple things.

1. He’s dribbling with his left hand. Dude is right handed! Obviously, he’s a good ball handler. (I swear that wasn’t intended to be a joke about his homosexuality.)

2. He has his head up. You know what that means – Court Vision! He would easily average as many or more assists per game as Anthony Parker.

3. His hair looks great. You look good, you play good.

4. He’s got a cannon for an arm. Delonte West actually carries a cannon.

5. The final reason Brady Quinn would be great on the Cavs doesn’t show up in the picture, but its easily the most important.  Going 13-31 with 2 turnovers in a basketball game isn’t that bad.

Bye Week
The bye week is – there are no bye weeks! That means from here on out, every team plays every week. No matter how bad they are.

Unsplosive Video
For some reason, this video has been making the rounds this week. I don’t understand why. It’s old. It was originally on Digg in August of 2008. *pushes glass up nose*

Fraud
Cutler! Holy shit man. 29-52 for 307 yards and 5 picks… yeah. That’s why they traded for the man.

Game Manager
Vince Young again. Who would have thunk that he would become a game manager? I guess you could say that college football and the NFL are completely different.

That’s Bar Refaeli. She’s cool. You knew that though, didn’t you. She comes to the Pigsplosion via Hollywood Tuna which is kind of NSFW.

Movie Time!
Each Friday a new slew of shit opens at the box office. Starting today, I’ll be discussing one or more of those films in the Pigsplosion. Today, what else could we discuss, but NEW MOON!

This movie sucks. Just a guess. The reviews are less than stellar. Can someone explain to me why people have been waiting in lines for days to see this? Confession: I along with a group of friends saw a midnight showing of Return of the King the night it premiered. We were in line for… an hour. We discussed dressing like Ents, (We discussed a lot of dumb shit back then.) but were way too lazy to do anything like that.  My point is, we waited in line for an hour. That was the max. And that movie was awesome. I can’t understand why the youth of America are so fucking stupid. Oh, its because they have shitty parents. While we’re on the subject, an 8 year-old should not have a cell phone. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I don’t think anyone who can’t drive needs a LeBron damned Droid.

Picksplosion’em
Last Week: 9-6
Overall: 71-73

CAROLINA (-3.5) over Miami
I made the pick before the game, forgot to enter it into my pick’em contest and then saw Miami was up 14-3 in the 3rd quarter before I wrote this. My question to myself would have to be… why didn’t I just change my pick?

Indy (+1.5) over BALTIMORE
OK, I’m confused. Why is the undefeated team an underdog in week 11?

New Orleans (-11.5) over TAMPA BAY
6 of the 9 teams that have two word city names are playing each other today. This will be a major factor this weekend. Look for at least 3 of those 9 teams to earn wins.

GIANTS (-6.5) over Atlanta
I figure the Giants have to eventually win again. At some point. Definitely. It’s totally going to happen.

MINNESOTA (-11.5) over Seattle
Weather will not be a factor Sunday.

KANSAS CITY (+10.5) over Pittsburgh
Not so much a vote in confidence for KC as a vote of fraud for the Steelers.

JACKSONVILLE (-9.5) over Buffalo
My friends who are Bills’ fans would always say “Show them the Dick” whenever Dick Jauron was shown on television during Buffalo games. Needless to say, some disappointed text messages were exchanged Tuesday. Even more disappointing, saying “Show them the Dick” was the highlight of the last few seasons for Bills’ fans.

GREEN BAY (-5.5) over San Fran
A risky bet because the 49ers just shut down the Bears. Once you’ve shut down one high performance offense, you’ve shut them all down.

DETROIT (-3.5) over Cleveland
Let’s hope this game is blacked out. For everyone’s sake.

Washington (+12.5) over DALLAS
No word whether Beaker made the trip to Dallas or not.

Arizona (-9.5) over ST LOUIS
Must be the money.

Cincinnati (-9.5) over OAKLAND
How do you not stick with JaMarcus Russell?

NEW ENGLAND (-10.5) over Jets
Belichick cut the punter this week so he couldn’t be second-guessed again.

Philly (-1.5) over CHICAGO
If the city of Chicago has ever needed a win, its this Sunday. This is worse than what New Orleans was facing after Katrina.

San Diego over DENVER
I still don’t have a line for this game, so I’m just going to pick the Chargers by whatever the line is set at. Lines provided by Bodog.

HOUSTON (-3.5) over Tennessee
Hard to believe this is a MNF game.
