Greatest Comeback Ever?

Sadly, Bones cannot answer this question. Today's blog should be about the level of hatred I was feeling for the people of Boston during the different stages of their improbably victory last night. However, I like the rest of the world thought the Red Sox were dead. The television was on a riveting re-run of Scrubs while Big Papi brought Fenway to life with a 3-run shot. When I started getting calls that I was too close to sleep to answer it dawned on me that something had to be going on with the game so I switched back and saw it was 7-4. The game still seemed out of reach so I inexplicably returned to Scrubs and the next time my remote found TBS it was a one run game. So, all I really saw last night was a lot of Zach Braff and the eighth and ninth innings. I can make only the following observations about the game; Red Sox fans are ugly even when there happy, My mind has been changed and I am now rooting for the Rays to win the series, it was an amazing comeback even though I did not see it and Terry Francona has apparently solved the problem of double bubble's short flavor life by chewing a new piece every 10 seconds. With that in mind let's turn to what everyone has been waiting for all week. The masses are screaming, "Bones I might lose my job and the economy sucks but by golly this is America and I am going to gamble. What are this weeks "Travis Henry Locks of the Week?" Say no more my troubled friends here they are.

Saturday

12:30 hopefully available in high def with lots of shots of Georgia coeds) Georgia -14.5 vs. Vandy: "Bones you can't pick against Vandy 3 straight weeks." Why the hell not? This is America. It is abundantly clear they are still overrated and any team whose best player's name is Knoshown is alright by me. Georgia 31, Vandy 0.

3:30 available places in the South where you need satelite to get cable, So available in the South) Mississippi plus 12 at Alabama: Do you ever find yourself whispering M I S S I S S I P P I when you spell the home of Mark Twain? Hope it is not just me. Ole Miss has been solid all year, actually playing better on the road then at home and Alabama is not the type of team made to blow teams out.. More importantly, Do you think that Rebel players call their boss Coach Nutt? Alabama 31, Ole Miss 21.

8 ABC) Texas -4 vs. Missouri: This line perplexes me to say the least. It seems this is being viewed as a let down game but Mack Brown is 10-0 following the Oklahoma game so that logic is faulty. For me it comes down to the fact that no one should ever bet against someone named Colt McCoy. If Colt McCoy was my name I would introduce myself to anyone I ever came within 100 yards of me and love whichever one of my parents decided on the name way more. If it was the doctor's idea I would love him more than both. It seems it would be hard to go on with life when you will never be able to top the crowning achievement of recieving your name but Colt seems to be doing a pretty good job. I also wonder why Chase Daniel did not do crunches before the ESPN cover or at least suck in. Texas 41, Mizzou 30.

8 ESPN) South Carolina plus 2 over LSU: The reason to take South Carolina is the same reason you should have taken TCU last night. 80 percent of the public is on LSU but the line is moving the other direction. This means 1 of 2 things. Either vegas is trying to get even more people on LSU or all the big ballas on the west coast are laying it down on the Gamecocks. Either way it is good for South Carolina fans. If you combine this with the fact that Steve Spurrier will be wearing a visor during a night game you have to go with the home team. Gamecocks 21, LSU 17.

Sunday)

1 on CBS) Chargers pick'em at Buffallo: Is Boomer Esiason really talking smack to Troy Aikman? Did I just type smack? How will this conflict be settled. My proposal would be to have them participate in a quarterback challenge with the winner getting to throw the ball off the loser's face from 5 yards away 10 seconds before he goes on air. The guy who got drilled would not be allowed to wipe his his face off the whole first half. Back to the pick. I am going against Buffallo for three reasons: they have had an abysmal schedule thus far, their entire defense is listed as questionable or doubtful and they play some home games in Canada. That would be like picking a hockey team that has home games in America. What?? They have those? I am still going with San Diego. Chargers 28, Bills 24.

4:15 CBS) Packers plus 1.5 vs. Colts: Green Bay at home against a team that has one good game this season. Aaron Rodgers may have never won a Super Bowl but he has also never licked an Oreo dry on National Television. Take the Packers 21, Colts 20.

The Redskins will bounce back in a big way. If that happens and the Red Sox and Patriots lose I will have no complaints and you shouldn't either unless Tony Siragusa is on the field for your teams game.
