2008 FREE NFL PICKS WEEK 9
When the Waters Rise…
As I was on the ship I know.
The mysteries of man in desperation are rarely revealed. There are precious few moments on earth where all hope is lost, but as I was a traveler on that fateful journey, they were revealed to me.
Not unlike the trenches during the Great War, filling with water, disease, mortar shells, poison gas and dead bodies – humans do strange things. Some pray. Some reason. Some go quiet and some go mad.
Man’s character becomes visible in those moments. The true mettle of a man is laid bare and shown to the world only in the most trying, most desperate and seemingly lost moments. Some would argue that we shouldn’t judge a man in such a time. But Jiggy believes (oh no he didn’t – oh yes he did just go third person on your ass) that it is solely in those moments where a man may be judged.
The one’s who babble for their mothers and cry for their own lives are no more or less human than you or me. But they are cut from different cloth. The ones who clam up and sit quietly in the mud of humanity, unable to move or respond aren’t weak – they are simply humans. But the few shining gems amongst the rubble, the special ones, the leaders, the heroes, the uber menschen can handle these situations. They can allow the circumstances to bring forth their true selves, their truly heroic selves, their best selves. You need to axe yourself what you’ll do.
That fateful journey began two weeks ago. New Orleans losing to Carolina and Dallas dropping to the Cards were the first signs of the storm. The Raiders and the Sea Chickens covering were the snapping of the mast and cracking of the hull. Then there were the gyrations on wall street. There were crying babies. There were whining dogs. Then the tragic events of October 26th revealed themselves.
The Falcoons laid an egg against the Filthies. The Steelers dropped their drawers to reveal giant (NY Giant) gaping vaginas and the Beautiful Buffalo Billies turned to poo in front of my eyes.
The ship was sinking and there was no rescue in sight. There was no way out and there was no raft.
 Let me digress and tell the story of the truly devout man. He and his family loved the lord and had total faith in Him. Well, a flood struck their town. (Asking the bigger philosophical questions about why a God would create a people, give them free will, give them flaws and then be shocked enough at their behavior that he decides he must decimate them is probably a rabbit hole we don’t want to run down.) The devout man took his bible and his family to the roof of their house and waited for the Lord to save them. A raft with survivors paddled toward their house.
‘Come aboard’ yelled the people on the raft.
‘Nay, the lord will save us.’
They paddled on… A rowboat appeared with coast guard in it –
‘You there, with the bible and the glasses, bring your family aboard.’
‘Nay, the lord will save us.’
The rowed away… A large tree floated toward their house. On the tree three puppies were clinging for survival.
‘woof, woof, woof’ said the puppies. (I speak dog and what this roughly translates to it, ‘get on the log asshole – the world is drowning.’)
‘Nay, the lord will save us.’
So the family dies from starvation on the roof of their floating house. And the man gets to heaven (as all good men do.) Well, St. Peter (no relation to the New Orleans Saints) stands in front of the man. The pious man glares at St. Peter.
‘Why didn’t the lord save us? We were pious, we said our prayers, we followed your words we did your deeds. Why didn’t you save us?’
St. Peter responded thusly, ‘we tried three fucking times.’
The point of this whole story is that times are tough and the world appears to be cracking around us. But your fearless (and feckless) leader, Jiggy has not forsaken you. If you follow, I will lead. The time has come to bet, and bet big, because a change is going to come. And it is coming now.
JIGGY'S FREE NFL PICKS
Ray Ray (balt) @ Howard the Duck (cle) – The Ducks (Browns) -1.5
I love Joe flacco. I love Ray Rice (not really) and I love the defense of the Ravens. But the Cleveland browns are finally playing up to their potential (Jiggy would argue that getting rid of Kellen Vagina Winslow the Tiniest was probably a huge net positive.) Gimme the streaking Brownies at home.
The Ghost of Brady (NE) @ The Ghost of Peyton (indy) – Hoody (Patriots) +6
What can I say, I hate Indy and they are down this year. Gimme the best team in the AFC (from last year anyway) and I will take the points as well.
Los Fishes (mia.) @ Los Palominos (den) – vandy is in the house (Broncos) -3
Will someone please wake up the Dolphins fans. Their little wet dream of being a contender is over. (It never really began – but we all believe the hot girl may like us, if things just break right…). They don’t have a good team and that hot girl doesn’t dig you. Give me the hapless broncos and I will happily give three.
Az @St.L – Az (Cardinals) -3
The St. Louis Rams aren’t good.
Bonus Pick
Barack Obama @ John McCain – Barack the Vote (Obama) -35 Electoral Votes
This one probably won’t be close. You can take the ‘bradley effect’ and shove it where the sun don’t shine. Give me Barry and I will give the points.
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.
