That's pretty ballsy of you to pick Detroit over the Patriots! I hope you do well this week (but obviously not with that pick :)

Charlie:
I always pick the Lions. Which partly explains my season record...

I've followed you for at least 2-3 years, and at some point you explained that you'll always pick the Lions. (Sorta like me being inclined to pick the Texans and the Cowboys, but just not as loyal...) Was it last year you didn't pick? I Googled my fingers out and couldn't figure out why I couldn't find your picks. Never posted in those previous years, so know that there are probably lurkers like me that read and never comment. Loved your Sage Rosenfels comments! Anyway, understand the straight forward comments given the holiday. Hope you get a little snarky in December!
