The Big Pussy
Good riddance to bad rubbish, as our friends across the pond always say.
[I am not sure if anyone from that part of the world can really be trusted as they have bad teeth, no tans and generally make bad decisions (see Hugh Grant having the opportunity to shtup Elizabeth Hurley and instead opting for fellatio or a handy from a transvestite prostitute.)]
The bad rubbish is of course Peyton Manning. In a game that he should have won (he and his teammates) he unfurled a giant turd. Those of us that watched the game now know what it is like to be a character in a teen angst movie. In the teen movie, the protagonist is always about to get laid and then (as the best laid plans of mice and men usually are) his plans are dashed. Sometimes the girl passes out (not that Jiggy would be stopped by such a triviality), sometimes the parents get home, sometimes the car goes in to Lake Michigan… you understand. Betting on the Colts was just like that. It seemed that about 26 different times, the Colts were prepared to rip down them panties and get busy making the beast with two backs. But instead, they just fizzled and lost. Disappointing to say the least.
The Falcons… They just really miss Mike Vick. Or maybe Jiggy just really misses him. I am not saying that having a worse QB would have allowed the Falcons to beat the Cardinals, because it wouldn’t have, but it would have really cleared the air for some dog fighting jokes, some Ron Mexico jokes and some Virginia Tech Massacre jokes. But alas, we go to war with the army we have, not the one we want. And again, could the Falcoons really beat the Cardinals and Kurt Warner? I am sure that Kurt would say no. Kurt believes that his faith makes him a better QB and I bet he thinks that God wants him to win. There are so many problems with that logic that I don’t really know where to begin… So I will just dive in… Does Kurt believe that his faith is really stronger than the combined faiths of the Falcons? Does one tally up the good deeds (theologically speaking of course) of the Falcons and then weigh them against the Cardinals? Or what if (BIG COLLECTIVE GASP) Jesus isn’t the true messiah? What if the Islamists are right? What if the Jews are right? What if the Buddhists are right? What if the (even bigger gasp) the atheists are right? But whatever, let’s assume for the sake of this argument (and potentially our immortal souls) that Jesus was correct and the Christians (and all of their various branches, sects and cults) are the true believers and nailed it. Here is where Jiggy gets rolling. How in the world could a deity (or three of them, depending on who is explaining the whole thing) really care about an effing football game? I mean really? If you are looking at the big picture, who cares which bunch of rich, talented, tall, athletic, arrogant pricks wins a game with arbitrary rules? And if they do win, what does it mean? Likely more cash and more pussy. Those are two things that I am not sure any religion really prizes the accumulation thereof. But anyway, bully for the Cards dropping the Falcons (and losing Jiggy some green.)
 Baltimore… Oh Baltimore, how I love you so. First, Jiggy is now balls deep in The Wire. Who would have imagined that the inner city of Baltimore could be as interesting as the inner city (underbelly) of New Jersey? To all of my friends who told me that The Wire is a great show, thank you. To all of my fans that sent in DVDs of The Wire, you are truly doing God’s work (this comment is especially funny when read in the context of the previous paragraph). But to those of you who told me that The Wire is better than The Sopranos, you are filthy, disgusting liars and you should be drawn, quartered, pissed upon and then shot. But anyway, kudos to Baltimore. Now, back to football. When Jiggy was young and used to fantasize about things other than threesomes with Jo and Blair, he would fantasize about football, and when he fantasized about football, he fantasized about the team he would build when he was finally GM (and owner) of the 49ers, and the team he would build would look and play a lot like the Baltimore Ravens did in that game last week. I want a dick-kicking defense. I want the opposing QB to wish he had gone out for lacrosse or basketball when he was little. I want that QB crying to his coach about how he doesn’t want to go back out there. I want there to be bloodstains and snot bubbles in the opposing team’s backfield every play. And then I want a power running game that doles out punishment. And that is what Baltimore did (one could argue that it has much to do with the high concentration of players from The U, but that is a discussion for another time and another place.) Great game and great dick-kicking.
And the final game last week… Philly and Minny… I really barely remember it. I suspect it was horrifically boring. The only thing that really stands out (aside from the fact that Jiggy won the bet and had a 19 year old stripper party in his pants that night with the winnings) is the goofball Donny Mac. At the end of the game, he and his pals are yucking it up on the sidelines, celebrating like they just won the superbowl. I am all for enjoying a victory, but one’s goal shouldn’t be a win in wildcard weekend, it should be the stupid bowl. So Donny, act like you’ve been there before (sadly you won’t be there again this year) and man up.
That is all.

The Dick-Kickers (baltimore) @ The 2000 Giants (tenny) – Tenny -3
Kerry Collins… When you aren’t using the N-word, drinking too much and losing football games, I find you entertaining. If this were only Joe Flacco versus Dairy Collins, I would totally be all over the Ravens. But there are other factors at work here. First, the Ravens had to play a tough game last week, while the Titans had shiatsu massages with happy endings. The second main reason for me leaning toward tenny is the aforementioned Collins. You can hate on him all you want (and I do) but he has experience. He has been here before and past here. And finally, the dick-kicking medal has to go to the Titans. They were dick-kickers before the Ravens were. In fact, they have played this whole season with tough defense and a good running game. So take the Titans, the home field, the week of rest, the veteran QB and give the points.
Jesus (or his human incarnate – Kurt Warner) (az) @ The Dirty South (car) – The Dirty South (Carolina) -9.5
The Cards were lucky to be in the NFC West and now the maid is banging on the door saying room service and the lights are coming on. The fantasy that was induced by heroin, ecstasy and the ‘paid entertainment’ is over. Look for the Panthers to do some SERIOUS work to the cards. Take the Panthers and give the points.
Philly @ NYG – NYG -4
Donny Mac is a loser. And the Giants are the toughest team in the NFC (not the best, but the toughest.) Take the G-men.
SD @ Pitt – Pitt -6
So… the Bolts have been a joke, making the playoffs in the final minutes of the regular season. Then somehow drugging the Colts and Peyton Manning, they have made it to the second round of the playoffs. It ends here. The Pitt Panthers (intentional misnomer) have the best D in the land, they have a good coach, they have a great QB and they are exciting to watch (specifically because of Mr. Polamalu’s hair). I am all over the Steelers.
Many of my fans ask me where I wager. I have a gambling problem so I bet on everything from the ponies to how long (in inches) my excrement is. But I have been a proud customer to superbook.com for some time. They have good lines, great promotions, many betting options and most importantly, I get my money from them on time. They have signed a deal with Wagercom.com. So if you are looking for an online book, try them out. They are Jiggy tested and Jiggy approved.
