PROCTOLOGISTICS
Perhaps I’m just being lazy, but I truly don’t believe I couldn’t troll Packer fans, or summarize the significance of this weeks biggest upset any better than simply repeating the words of one of their faithful fans. So, without further ado, I give you the gruff, but lovable, SDL:
I’m not big on predictions. Parity and the bizzaro world of officiating at both the NCAA and NFL levels have yielded some stunningly fucked up results.
Yeah – game altering / outcome determinative
However, as I pointed out to a fan of Da Bearss with whom I am required to work, this game has the makings of a colossal ass whupping
I wouldn’t be surprised if it has some similarities with the beat down the Bron-Chose put on the Packers in Denver…
…. with more points
The fucking Bron-Chose were having some fucking anniversary party. Amped up the team and the crowd.
The Packers were on the receiving end.
With Starr, Favre, and the hated Bearss in the house, the atmosphere may be similar and lead to similar results.
When a Bears fan had the audacity to suggest the Bears had a chance to win this game, SDL felt compelled to respond:
(Nardo)
“What the hell context is needed? Packers aren’t all that good right now.” – Bearss honk
——
(SDL)
ORLY?
I disagree. The Packers have been playing like shit. They can – and are very likely – to play better.
They already beat Da Bearss at the ManHole
The stars are aligned for a massive ass-kicking.
Huge.
Three (3) Fist Ballot HOF’ers, four (4) Lombardies, multiple multiple League MVPs, multiple multiple SB MVPs
I would not want to go into Lambeau on Turkey Day, in prime time, under these circumstances.
WELL PUT. WELL SAID. BRAVO!
PS – SUCK. MY. FAT. HOG.
WEEK 12 RESULTS BASED ON RANKING
Even during a week when teams like the Packers and Patriots decided to blow chunks, I managed to go 10-6 with my picks. Any week I’m over .500 and remain above ground, is a good week.
My year to date record is still a respectable 109-67.
So, here are my week 13 predictions:

THIS DAY IN HISTORY (November 25)
1804 – Napoleon Bonaparte crowned emperor of France.
At 5’6″ tall, Napoleon Can inspire the vertically challenged such as myself, Nardo, or Raji, that we can rise to great heights, or, at a minimum, where a tall hat.
1823 – Monroe doctrine declared. The Monroe Doctrine forbade European interference in the American hemisphere but also asserted U.S. neutrality in regard to future European conflicts.
Introduced by President James Monroe, it is fairly apparent that someone from Europe was sleeping with Monroe’s wife. In any case, it eventually allowed us to wipe out the native Americans and rip off millions of acres of land to create the greatest country in the world, MURICA!
1859 – Abolitionist John Brown was hanged for his part in the raid on Harpers Ferry.
Some view Brown’s hanging as the spark that ignited the Civil War. I prefer to view it as a necessary evil, in order to allow coach Herman Boone to say years later, “You fumble the football, and I will break my foot off in your John Brown hind parts and then you will run a mile.”
FANTASY FOOTBALL FORUM
Team Deez Nuts lost a close game this week. The saddest part is that we were taken out by a kicker on Monday night. At any rate, with one week left in the regular season, I am guaranteed a playoff spot. Yeah me!
Pro Tip: Don’t bench running backs who are going against the Bears.
WHO’S HOT
The Carolina Panthers remain the NFL’s only undefeated team. 16-0 is a real possibility. Their remaining schedule is easier than a two dollar hooker, but I think it’s a safe bet that the 1972 Dolphins will be popping champagne corks come playoff time.
WHO’S NOT
The Green Bay Packers have now lost four of their last five games, and two of those were to divisional opponents at Lambeau.
YOU SAID IT
MaC – MIB never quotes me in these.
MIB – I can’t understand how could I possibly gloss over witty, original and riveting gems such as this?
Big Deal – What’s your endgame here MIB? This Packers ranking reeks of some long con.
MIB – How’s it smell a week later?
LambeauOrWrigley – Thanks giving is a time for sharing with friends and family and being thankful for all we are blessed. And I am having Thanksgiving dinner with one die hard Vikes fan and another group of Bears fans. I am visualizing already the silly grin on my face all day.
MIB – I’m visualizing the exact moment that silly grin left your face.
IT’S TIME TO RANK ‘EM AND SPANK ‘EM
