I love the NFL playoffs. But I'm not a big Superbowl fan. Too much production for that one day. The first two weeks of the playoffs are the best with 4 games each weekend.
I went 3 and 3 last week so my record stands at 53-47-4.
Today's first game has Washington in Tampa Bay. Brunell looks too wounded to win. I know Simms is in his first year as a starting QB but their defense will win it. I like Tampa Bay giving 2 points. I just can't see the Redskins. Tampa will shut down Moss and a sore Portis. Look for Cadillac Williams to have a great game. Predicted score Tampa Bay 20 Washington 10
The second game today has Jacksonville playing in New England. I have to pick the under-rated Jags here. They have an adequate offense and a very good defense. They really don't get much media attention and are somewhat of an enigma getting 8 points against the dynasty Patriot team. The Pats seem to be peaking at the right time though, so I think they will win the game: New England 24 Jacksonville 20
Tomorrow, Carolina is playing in New York getting 2 and a half points. I really like the Panthers here. Eli Manning just doesn't appear mature enough or polished enough to win a playoff game with the team he has right now. I'm looking for the Panthers to focus on shutting down Tiki Barber, so Manning will be forced to throw more than he likes, and I really think the Panthers are better than what they have shown in the regular season. I think they are much better than average and could wind up in the Super Bowl facing Denver. Carolina 31 New York 17
And the big game this weekend has Cincinnati at home to a favored Pittsburgh Steelers. I am not a Steeler fan. Sure Big Ben seems to get things done, but I just see too many holes with that team. That being said, Cincinnati's defense is better than last year, but they seem to play prevent too much, giving up needless points. Their offense is as good as any other team in the league though. I think the home field will help, although expect lots of Steeler fans to be on hand. I like the healthier Bengals here. Cincinnati 30 Pittsburgh 20
Incidentally, my playoff predictions I made before the first game sucked. I was right about 5 of the 12 teams: Carolina, Seattle, Cincinnati, Indy, and New England.
I picked Detroit to face Indy in the Super Bowl. Detroit? At least I am being honest about being a moron. Now I am almost convinced Denver will win the Super Bowl this year, beating Carolina (maybe Seattle).

Star Jones The Atheist Hater, Lookie Here:
Here is a female bonobo. The bonobos are the closest related animals to us humans. Star Jones thinks humans are special and not animals. This is what human females do when they are alone, aint it? Look familiar Star?
But Star, they are just like humans:
Now here is a male and a female bonobos doing it missionary style. I'm sure a missionary didn't teach them either. The female reminds me of my wife the way she is lying there waiting for it to end. Star, how can you say they are that much different than humans?
C'mon Star, it is time to face reality.
C'mon Star, it is time to face facts. Evolution is real. Give up the humans aren't animals routine already.
And one more thing about Star Jones:
This is not meant to be racist. I really can't stand Star Jones. This is irony. Forget the fact she hates Atheists, she is a Fundy, she doesn't believe in evolution, she doesn't think man is an animal, she doesn't think animals have souls, she wears dead animals, she thinks OJ is innocent, she believes in a Young Earth. Maybe she is Bigfoot, and she is trying to hide this fact by pretending to be an ignorant Fundy.

Did Jesus Exist: Let the Courts Decide HAHAHAHA
Judge tells priest to prove Christ existed
Richard Owen, Rome
January 04, 2006
AN Italian judge has ordered a priest to appear in court to prove that Jesus Christ existed.
The case against Father Enrico Righi has been brought in the town of Viterbo, north of Rome, by Luigi Cascioli, a retired agronomist who once studied for the priesthood but later became a militant atheist.
Mr Cascioli, author of a book called The Fable of Christ, began legal proceedings against Father Righi three years ago after the priest denounced Mr Cascioli inthe parish newsletter for questioning Christ's historical existence.
Viterbo judge Gaetano Mautone yesterday set a preliminary hearing for the end of this month and ordered Father Righi to appear.
The judge had earlier refused to take up the case, but was overruled last month by the Court of Appeal, which agreed that Mr Cascioli had a reasonable case for his accusation that Father Righi was "abusing popular credulity".
Mr Cascioli's contention is that there is no reliable evidence that Jesus lived and died in first-century Palestine apart from the Gospel accounts, which Christians took on faith.
Mr Cascioli's one-man campaign came to a head at a court hearing last April when he lodged his accusations of "abuse of popular credulity" and "impersonation", both offences under the Italian penal code.
He argued that all claims for the existence of Jesus from sources other than the Bible stem from authors who lived "after the time of the hypothetical Jesus" and were therefore not reliable witnesses.
Mr Cascioli maintains that early Christian writers confused Jesus with John of Gamala, an anti-Roman Jewish insurgent in first-century Palestine.
The Roman historians Tacitus and Suetonius mention a "Christus" or "Chrestus", but were writing "well after the life of the purported Jesus" and were relying on hearsay.
Father Righi said there was overwhelming testimony to Christ's existence in religious and secular texts. Millions had in any case believed in Christ as both man and Son of God for 2000 years.
"If Cascioli does not see the sun in the sky at midday, he cannot sue me because I see itand he does not," Father Righi said.
Mr Cascioli said he would withdraw his legal action if Father Righi came up with irrefutable proof of Christ's existence by the end of the month.
The Vatican has so far declined to comment.

I would like to see evolution or an ancient earth go to court. Both would win hands down.
But proving God or Christ? I just don't think that this one has a hope in hell. I hope it goes to court. This will be a fun one to follow.
Think of the precedence that will come out of this one.
