Hallelujah!!!

What a nail-biter! The Eagles pulled it off though, 38-24 and thankfully the rent-a-cops they hired in Philly weren't needed either (way to go Philly fans!).... I watched the game in LA (I was visiting my friend, Jason Fehon, who is a famous DJ in Philadelphia on 93.3 WMMR, check him out) and happened to be at the same bar as John Salley of The Best Damn Sports Show...Period. I think he was rooting for the Cowboys though, so I didn't talk to him. I will say this though, if you're ever on Sunset Blvd and you're looking for a place to watch the game, go to the Saddle Back Bar & Grill, it's awesome. Great service, great people, tons of TVs and good food. I couldn't imagine a better atmosphere for sitting back and watching T.O. wet the bed on national TV....

Week 5 Picks - and then some...

Saints over Bucs
Rams over Packers
Giants over Skins
Colts over Titans by a ton.
Bears over Bills by a ton.
Panthers over Browns
Patriots over Dolphins
Vikings over Lions
Niners over Raiders (go EJ!)
Jags over Jets
KC over Cards
Steelers over Bolts
Ravens over Broncos

and

Eagles over Dallas. On a personal note, this game is going to be unreal. Ticket prices in Philly are $100 dollars more than usual, topping out at playoff price levels. People are sitting at home as I type this filling perscription bottles with C batteries and pills. Nothing will surprise me this weekend. Roits, sniper rifles, a gang of 700 level brutes givine TO a wedgie... nothing. And not that I condone such action, but I can't wait!!! Go Birds!

Blah, Blah, Sports, Blah, Sports, Blah, Blah

There are a couple things worth noting this week.

1) It looks like Corey Simon, the Colts star D-Tackle, is going to miss the rest of the NFL season with an undisclosed disease that is unrelated to football. The good news out of Colts-land is that the disease is not life threatening and they are optimistic about his return to the team next season. We here at SportsCamper.com send our best wishes to Simon, a former Eagles star, who is a likeable player and a fantastic teammate from all reports.

2) Gratuitous Ivy League tidbit: At my alma mater, Quarterback Matt Polhemus and running back Mike McLeod were arrested for fighting and disturbing the peace after, presumably, getting wasted at Toad's Nightclub. What a bunch of knuckleheads. Of course I'd be in a fighting mood, too, if I had to play under the tutelage of Jack Siedlecki (only Yale coach EVER to lose 5 straight games to Harvard). Nice work, Jack. Keep it up. Tell Chef I said hi.

3) Albert Haynesworth of the Titans, stomped on Cowboys' Andre Gurode's face. Between plays. While he wasn't wearing a helmt. While he was laying on the ground.

Are you kidding me?

This is ridiculous. I'm glad he got a 5 game suspension and if you ask me, it should have been an 8 game suspension. What he did is assault. He left Gurode in need a 30 stitches and unable to practice as of today. What goes on between the whistles is one thing. Visciously attacking someone while he's lying on the ground, helpless, is an entirely different matter. Thankfully, Haynesworth has apologized to Gurode, and publicly stated he will not appeal the suspension.

4) David Stern, the commissioner of the NBA is actually thinking about going forward with an all-Europe division of the NBA - with teams in cities such as Madrid, London, Moscow, Berlin and Cologne. Wow. My question is, do all the players in that league have grow disgusting facial hair like Pau Gasol, Dirk Nowitski and Vlade Divac by rule? Has Gilette spread to Europe yet?


Ok, that's it. Tomorrow, get ready for the NFL picks of the week.
