pigsplosion12Happy Turkey Day! Make no mistake, the internets are slow over the holidays. Its the one time of the year where bloggers interact with people they can actually reach out and touch. And with the bloggers out of the picture, the readers and commenters of the world are also forced to talk with people from their real lives. Its not much fun for anyone. I know.

So with that being said, we here at TBL hope you all have a great holiday. OK, I can’t say that for certain. Neither Duffy or Hernia told me to say that so I have no idea if they really want you to enjoy your holiday. The way you’ve treated those two over the year leads me to believe that they might wish you the opposite.

Oh well. Commence over-eating.

We’re running out of exploding pigs people. Thank LeBron for Thanksgiving. Hmm. I guess I’m thankful for Thanksgiving. I believe that’s a paradox of some sort.

Fraud
Sanchise! 8-21, 136 yards and 4 picks. He also fumbled. Jesus this kid sucks. I feel sorry for you if you trying to rationalize his bad play as anything besides “dude sucks.”

Game Manager
Ladies and gentlemen… Tony Romo! 158 yards a score and a pick in a 7-6 victory. Anybody want a hamburger?

You know, I completely forgot this was the “Is Drew Brees Married” hot chick. Well, her name is Maryna Linchuk. In all seriousness, /never heard of her

Movie Time!
Old Dogs opens this week and I don’t really know why. That being said, Thanksgiving is a big movie day. Might I suggest going to your local theater and kicking the shit out of anyone who buys a ticket for New Moon? It does have a stellar 4.5 on IMDB and an incredible 30% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes.  I was about to say something about not actually hurting anyone who is going to see New Moon, but then I read the previous sentence.

Picksplosion’em
Last Week: 8-8
Overall: 79-81

Green Bay (-11.5) over DETROIT
I’d like to apologize for not knowing that Lions-Browns would be the best game of week 11. That being said, you wouldn’t have believed me if I told you.

Oakland (+14.5) over DALLAS
The Raiders have beaten the Eagles and Bengals, yet lost to everyone else. There’s no way you would have believed me if I tried to tell you this in September.

DENVER (+6.5) over NY Giants
I told you last week that the Giants would have to win eventually. Hell, they might get a second straight win this week. Can someone go back and take back all the positive things I said about Josh McDaniels, Kyle Orton and the Broncos? kthnxbi

Tampa (+11.5) over ATLANTA
This is right up there in the ranks of /doesn’t give a shit

Miami (-3.5) over BUFFALO
An AFC East battle! How exciting for you.

Indy (-3.5) over HOUSTON
Based on the head-to-head record I’d say the Colts are in definite trouble.

Carolina (+3.5) over NY JETS
I’ve been trying to figure out the maximum number of turnovers possible in one game. I think we’ll find out.

PHILLY (-9.5) over Washington
Al Sharpton’s gave of the week.

ST LOUIS (+2.5) over Seattle
I can’t get over how damn good Steven Jackson has been this year. I haven’t seen a single highlight of his, but I’m sure that’s just because he plays for a shitty team.

CINCY (-14.5) over Cleveland
The battle for Ohio. Yes, I love the term “battle.”

SAN DIEGO (-13.5) over Kansas City
Did I ever tell you about the time Matt Cassel was in a production of, ‘The King & I?’ On opening night, Cassel chloroforms the entire cast and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.

Jacksonville (+3.5) over SAN FRAN
I’ll take this opportunity to suggest you all follow Jon Gurden’s Penis on Twitter. And me, obviously.

HOUSTON (No Line Yet) over Arizona
If Houston doesn’t finish 8-8 then the world might swallow itself.

MINNESOTA (-10.5) over Chicago
I hate you Brett Favre. You and your perfect quarterbacking games. I hate every second of it. Luckily, I drink so I don’t remember most of your latest success. At least until I write this post. Damn you Favre.

BALTIMORE (No Line Yet) over Pittsburgh
The Steelers lost to a shitty team, but Roethlisberger had a great game. I still get to call him a fraud, right?

NEW ORLEANS (-3.5) over New England
This game is the manifestation of the nightmares you have about your fantasy draft.
