And for you non-US readers, I’m talking about real football. Not soccer. Well, it’s Sunday and it’s September, so we’re off to the races in week two of the NFL’s 2009 big dance. My New York Jets (currently undefeated *cough cough*) will be taking on the always dangerous New England Patriots, and the Giants travel to Dallas to meet the Cowboys. I’m picking them both to win, though my friend Ed has already jinxed the Jets by picking them as well. His Steelers are taking on the Bears, so I’ll return the favor by picking the Terrible Towel to take it in a walk by two touchdowns or more. The Jets game will be close, but Sanchez looked pretty good last week, so I’m not giving up all hope yet.
Anyone else going to take a break from politics and watch today’s games? Any hot tips for the pool sheet?
