NFL wk#3 . . . goin' strong . . . best way, only way to go

Dear Prognosticators ~

My father, my hero, the founding coach o'my heart, Paul Pilarcik fought valiantly and then, peacefully, on the very last day of summer, left this world as we know it. His spirit didn't, couldn't and will never. It's alive on any given Sunday and where footballs fly and good guts and gumption know to always exceed mere just getting by.


This Steeler fan is headed to Ohio now to be with family and love our Paul all the more. I turn this stadium over into the classy capable hands of Hustling Harry and sweet savvy successful Sugar Sack to tell you in the Comments section how to place your picks. Mine will be known to Hustling Harry, that Bronco fan of no disdain when he checks what ESPN's Pigskins Pickems have to indi'kate about my standings and that of History's Heroes and the Boardwalk Surf Warrior . . .


Will someone finally "try" to give Sugar Sack, that Monday morn QuarterBack a run for her yardage? Natch, she snatched the grand prizarino of peanut M&M's once again.


Thanks for understanding
and for a stadium of concern you've rifle armed to me and my inner strengths to be more like Paul with the ability to care, comfort and inspire my family along the way ... 


Dad/Paul would really wish you to pick the Steelers this week. Don't let him down. I never did.


That's why they call me "Absolutely".

    Copy the Matchups above, put an X by the team you’re picking and then paste your picks along with your comments (called shots, guarantees, smack talk, etc. ;) here in the comments section.

    Each week we’ll tally the picks and the best picker out there will win the coveted prize of one bag of peanut M&Ms along with bragging rights for the next week. So, who ya like?

    P.S.

    Kate is away for her father's funeral this week. He and she are great Pittsburgh fans and she asks that we all pick the Steelers in his honor this week. Thanks, Harry

  2. Harry's Hunnerd Percent Pigskin Picks Week #3:

    Tennessee at NY Giants X
    Both of these teams have been disappointing. I always pick the wrong Manning. Still, taking the home team. Giants!

    Pittsburgh X at Tampa Bay
    Steelers romp for Paul

    Cincinnati X at Carolina
    Wonder what Bengal/Panther kittens look like? Who’s your daddy Carolina? Cincy that’s who!

    Cleveland X at Baltimore
    Baltimore spent all their currency trying to shut Rex Ryan up. Ravens fell to Cincy, Jets rebounded over New England. Ravens R DUN done. Browns!

    Dallas at Houston X
    Dallas? I think we have a problem. Texans X

    San Francisco X at Kansas City
    Last Monday night I left my heart in San Francisco. Speaking of the niners, hope you Chiefs enjoyed your longest undefeated start since Joe Montana hucked ‘em for you.

    Detroit X at Minnesota
    HUGE upset! Lions maul Horn Hats!

    Buffalo at New England
    Nuther HUGE…wait, came to my senses… Patriots!

    Atlanta at New Orleans X
    I am already tired of the Saints.

    Washington X at St. Louis
    How great was Kubiak freezing Shanahan’s kicker last week? Where you think he learned that? Redskins!


    Philadelphia X at Jacksonville
    Look for a string of blackouts in J’ville. Eagles!

    Oakland X at Arizona
    Somebody check Al Davis’ heart medication. Raiders streak two in a row!

    San Diego X at Seattle
    Chargers are back on track. See ya Seattle.

    Indianapolis X at Denver
    Unfortunately Indy is back on track too. See ya Donkeys!

    NY Jets at Miami X
    I love this game. Goin’ with the fish but this could go either way. Should be a good one!

    MON, SEP 27

    Green Bay at Chicago X
    Cutler finally getting things his way in the windy city. Da Bears!
