Fridays with Artie Lange
Artie Lange's Football Picks, NFL October 30th. 2009, 3:00pm
Artie Lange is one of our favorite comedians. He’s hilarious on the Howard Stern show, and even if you don’t have Sirius, then you’re probably familiar with his work on Letterman, Conan, Beer League, or, perhaps most famously, the Joe Buck Show. We spoke to him a few weeks ago about an idea that would blend two of his great passions: Sports and picking games. So each Friday this season, he’ll pick three NFL locks.
Last week: 0-3
Season to date: 12-9
New York Jets -3.5 vs. Miami Dolphins.
New York Giants -1 at Philadelphia Eages.
Buffalo Bills +3.5 vs. Houston Texans.
Artie will be at the Beacon Theater in New York for the New York Comedy Festival Nov. 6th.
We’ll end this post with a line Norman Chad always applied to his picks column: These picks are for recreational purposes only and should not be used as the basis for any actual cash wager.

This is the funniest he has been.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:01 PM
tl;dr… again
October 30th, 2009 at 3:02 PM
isnt it supposed to be tldnr?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:03 PM
isn’t it time to update this?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:04 PM
I had to look that up. If he’d typed it right, Maggs could have had one of my precious, precious points.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:04 PM
Pretty sure this anthem will change everyone’s day.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:04 PM
Thought he was real good on Fallon this week
October 30th, 2009 at 3:05 PM
wow, i think this gives a whole new meaning to “mailing it in”.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:06 PM
Wow. I don’t even remember that game.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:08 PM
THE GREAT PUMA!!!
October 30th, 2009 at 3:09 PM
So he doesn’t even make unfunny rationalizations any more?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:09 PM
TBL, this is embarrassing – for the sake of your credibility, kill this thing. Now.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:10 PM
Fridays with Sinbad is so much funnier.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:11 PM
I can’t even muster the energy to shit on this any longer. If Artie’s not going to try, why should I?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:12 PM
Pretty sure I’m terrified of this man.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:15 PM
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The thing I never got about Soda Popinski, was he laughing or was that the sound of him rubbing his chin on his chest?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:16 PM
Where the hell are you guys where The Man doesn’t block YouTube? Unless I’m having one of my occasional “work from home” or “work from Starbucks” I can’t see any of this until later in the day when, sadly, I will come back and watch these.
If you want to see the best YouTube video ever click on my name.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:16 PM
Made my day. I might bog down my computer with spyware just to download the ROM and play those games again. The Pro Wrestling one had a related video for RC Pro Am. I loved that game.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:18 PM
loved Ice Hockey.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:24 PM
Agreed.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:24 PM
So… do we have parameters for the TBL vs. Miz collegefootballpalooza yet?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:24 PM
going to chipotle for the first time ever. what should i get? keep in mind i despise veggies.

check out this football hit by a little kid. jesus christ.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:27 PM
Get the burrito. Chicken is better than the steak. If you like spicy the barbacoa is not bad. You can put anything else you want on it. They make it right in front of you. You will not be disappointed.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:28 PM
that was a dirty hit, crown of the helmet. is that chuck cecil’s kid?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Chipotlaway
October 30th, 2009 at 3:31 PM
yeah that shit was dirty
October 30th, 2009 at 3:31 PM
I think the Eric Mangini of sports blogs had that a few weeks ago. Kid needs to learn to keep his head up, or he won’t be walking much longer.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:31 PM
Kid’s going to break his damn neck hitting like that.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:33 PM
does anybody have a link to the first time this was used?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:34 PM
that was a dirty hit, crown of the helmet. is that chuck cecil’s kid?
one of those kids was crying, and the other one was hurt bad. Look at the kid hold his neck. Bad news.

got another football vid. this one is just funny
October 30th, 2009 at 3:36 PM
Maybe if coach had taken the time to teach Jason Street how to tackle he wouldn’t be spending his life in that wheel chair, and his family wouldn’t need to be suing the school for money. Can’t you see it’s killing his father?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Malin Ackerman upskirt. I can almost see hoo-ha here.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:38 PM
Street may be in a wheelchair, but he’s still nailing Minka Kelly.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:38 PM
happened to me. I had a sure pick 6 and was hit just before the ball hit my hands. i still held onto it.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:38 PM
I would probably rethink that decision.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:39 PM
i can’t believe that he tackled him in open field though
October 30th, 2009 at 3:42 PM
are you a chick?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:42 PM
One of my all time favorites
October 30th, 2009 at 3:46 PM
This one’s pretty recent, but not as good as the Greg Jones one.
/Mangini blog also had this one
October 30th, 2009 at 3:46 PM
that was fun, a 13″ tortilla with rice, chicken, steak, and all the extras was 2005 calories and over 100 grams of fat. jesus.

+1
October 30th, 2009 at 3:47 PM
That, or I’d rather not be 250 pounds and dead of heart failure by age 50.
/runs away crying
October 30th, 2009 at 3:51 PM
Yeah Chipotle is bad news. I’m with you on this one, Mike.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:51 PM
“Your not going to tell on me are you? That’s what chicks do. You’re not a chick are you?”
And totally agree with your assement of Friday’s with Artie. This is pathetic. I wonder if Artie even writes these.
Also, anyone been to the Crystal Bay Casino and Sportsbook in Tahoe? I’m going this weekend.
Get in where you fit in
October 30th, 2009 at 3:52 PM
Good talk, see ya out there.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:53 PM
Lately I’ve been getting my burritos “naked”. Without the tortilla, you’re losing 330 calories and 54 grams of carbs.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:54 PM
Lately I’ve been getting my burritos “naked”.
I know that’s gay, and it might even be racist.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:55 PM
I think you had the wrong tab open, Oprah.com messages boards was the other tab.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:00 PM

It’s a reasonable response with the popular girls being so mean.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:01 PM
I’m the guy who doesn my job… you must be the other guy
October 30th, 2009 at 4:01 PM
Hitting “Submit Comment” was clearly a mistake.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:01 PM
i can see why chipotle is a success. cheap. huge servings. good. that being said i hope i was born with a golden butthole.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:01 PM
just because it’s awesome, let’s all re-visit thisiswhyyourefat.com.
don’t go to fast food and try to eat right.
i thinkthat kid did have his head up, but he was tentative and ran straight up and down. he was asking for it
October 30th, 2009 at 4:02 PM
That, or I’d rather not be 250 pounds and dead of heart failure by age 50.
I dunno…don’t you feel that life is too short to worry about that stuff anyway? I’d rather eat what tastes good than spend time counting calories
/high metabolism snob’d
October 30th, 2009 at 4:04 PM
Badger, well done. the reason i’d never have a six-pack is because of the dieting
/and the exercise
October 30th, 2009 at 4:04 PM
Chipotle’s good, but I wouldn’t eat it too often. When I was 18, I could eat like shit and not feel a thing. Now, I eat like shit and my stomach’s fucked up for two days. Same with booze. I also agree that TBL should put this wounded duck of a post out of its misery.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:06 PM
so bsanders, why don’t you have a barbacoa bowl and a fifth of old grandad? just to see what would happen
October 30th, 2009 at 4:06 PM
When I was 20 and desperately trying to fuck anything that moves I had one kind of six pack. Now that I’m 28 and in a committed relationship I have another kind.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:07 PM
I have the slowest metabolism of all time. OF ALL TIME!
/kanye’d
October 30th, 2009 at 4:10 PM
didn’t we all overestimate having a six-pack, though? i mean do you go to a bar or parties with no shirt? i mean, she’s not gonna see you have one until you’ve already got her where you want her. think about how you like women’s bodies–you don;t see the nakedness until you’re past the hard part, and you;ve already made up your mind about what she looks like w.o clothes. gotta have barometers, like ankles, arms, asses. we all learned early that what looks great in clothes can sometimes be less so naked and vice a fuckin versa
October 30th, 2009 at 4:11 PM
Slow death, probably. The good part of being a health nut is that you generally feel pretty good and mornings aren’t bad at all. The bad part is anything remotely debacherous and your body acts like you just shot it up with heroin.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:13 PM
Bsanders, can’t disagree with you. it is nice not having hangovers, certainly not as often as i used to. with four kids in the house, three of them 4 and under, hangovers would be disastrous. i work out and like to keep the weight off, but gave up the six pack effort ages ago. i decided to take extenze instead
October 30th, 2009 at 4:14 PM
No.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:15 PM
Brad Pitt essentially got to fuck the earth for twenty years because of ten minutes of his abs in Thelma and Louise.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:24 PM
It is tl;dr. When the fuck do you say “did not” rather than “didn’t”?? It is supposed to be short. Fahkin retahds.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:25 PM
Malin Ackerman upskirt. I can almost see hoo-ha here.
why is her vagina being asked for a comment in that pic? Can it talk, or just queef like the rest of them?
October 30th, 2009 at 6:23 PM
You’ll hit 30 soon enough…
/used to hold that title up until four or five years ago…
