"Silly Sign Saturday" - This is a real sign found going into an office building in Down Town L.A.
The weird thing is they don't even have a place outside to keep your gorillas.


"Silly Sign Saturday" - Not really a sign but I had to include this one just because of the insert (Click on the pic to enlarge). This is not "Photoshopped" and this precision set can be found at the "Dollar Plus" store in the Labrador Mall.
I'm thinking that doing this is still less painful than cheering for the Lions or the Raiders in Football this year.

I know it is a couple of days late but I have been sick and in bed since Friday with the stomach flu.
"Silly Sign Saturday" - Found at the rear entrance (or is it exit) at The Air Canada Center in Toronto.

Jimmy "The Greek" here with my week three football picks. Above is a photo taken of Mike Ditka when asked what he thought about my Vikings over The Bears pick. Now on to this week's genius analysis:
- Carolina over Tampa Bay. Neil Diamond wrote a cool song about Caroline but none about Tampa. Maybe he could write one after this week about going the first 3 games without a touchdown.
- Minnesota over Chicago. For all you Bears bandwagon fans who think that the Bears are going to the Superbowl- YOU ARE WRONG - the Bears are not for real. For God's sake their quarterback is Rex Grossman.
- Piittsburg over Cincinnati. Kirk Pike's favorite team since Feb.05/06 is to strong to lose to a team with stripes on their helmuts.
- Detroit over Green Bay. Brett Favre is OLD!!
- Jacksonville over Indy. How good can a team be when they celebrate Manning breaking Unitas' team passing record when Unitas did not play for them. Check the history books he played for Baltimore and San Diego. Besides that it took him 9 years to do it - imagine how long it would have took if Johnny did play for Indiananolis.
- Buffalo over The Jets. The Jets have as much chance of winning as Tommy Walsh does of getting a Mohawk.
- Tennessee over Miami. I can not pick a team whose colors are aqua-marine and peach.
- Houston over Washington. Dallas has a bye week so one team from Texas has to win.
- Baltimore over Cleveland. It is Johnny Unitas day in Baltimore this Sunday.
- Giants over Seahawks. A Seattle man won $85,000,000 in the powerball lottery this week and when the media asked what he thought he said, "why can't the Seahawks get any respect?"
- Philly over San. Fran in the worst game of the year. I have about as much interest in watching this game as I would watching my ex-wife break into my house with her new boyfriend and start going at it in front of me on Christmas morning.
- St. Louis over Arizona. Anyone who thinks Arizona will win probably believes in other stupid things also. Like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or God.
- Denver over New England. Jake "The Snake" has recruited Damian to play on the O-line this week.
- Atlanta over The Saints. New Orleans is sinking and they don't know how to swim.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
The Bruins are dropping their "Yogi The Bear" third jersey in order to go with a 1940's style origional six jersey. Their "Yogi" alternate was by far the best jersey in the history of the NHL - our new management sucks already. Harry Sinden we miss you!!! Posted by Picasa

Drew Bledsoe and the Superbowl favorite "Dallas Cowboys" are living up to the hype as they destroyed Washington 27 - 10 on Sunday. The win moved them into 1st place and control of the powerhouse NFC East Division. Go Cowboys!!! Posted by Picasa

"Silly Sign Saturday" - I was in Ottawa a couple of years ago and across the boarder in Gatineau P.Q. I saw this sign. I guess it is for a stop area for gay sex over the hood of a car??? Posted by Picasa

"The Greek" is back for week two of the NFL season and I hope you have learned your lesson for not listening to me last week - If you went with my picks you would have had 13 out of 16. I see from your pool results that the most anyone had was 11. So pay attention this week to these picks:
- Miami over Buffalo. Q:Why is the field in Buffalo so green? A:Because they keep putting lots of shit on it.
- Carolina over Minnesota. Minnesota has about as much chance of winning this game as Soucy does of winning this pool - well maybe they have a little better chance but they will still lose.
- Cleveland over Cincinnati. When two shitty team from the same state play always take the visiting team. 8 out of 9 in the last 10 years.
- Chicago over Detroit. When any team is playing Detroit take the other team.
- Indy over Houston. Manning will throw as many touchdowns in this game as Eric Carr will all season.
- New Orleans over Green Bay. I remeber growing up and my father telling me about when he used to watch football as a kid. He says he liked the Packers because they had the best quaterbacks - he told me Brett Favre's backup in those days was Bart Starr.
- Giants over Philly. An anxious woman goes to the doctor and asks nevously, "Can I get pregnant from anal sex?" "Of course," replies the doctor, "where do you think Eagles fans come from?"
- Baltimore over Oakland. After what I seen last Monday nite Oakland may have the worst team in any sport in the history of the world. Fitting that Aaron Brooks is the quarterback.
- Atlanta over Tampa Bay. Micheal Vick is the most under-rated player in the NFL.
- Seattle over Arizona. Rain in Seattle will be the difference playing a team from the dessert.
- San. Fran. over St. Louis. I drove through St. Louis once and saw the arch of whatever they call it. I remember thinking, " Wow there's the Arch - I wonder what CD I should listen to next?"
- Denver over K.C. Jake "the snake" contrary to belief did not get his nickname because of the wrestler. He got it because his last name is Plummer and a "snake" is a plummers tool.
- New England over the Jets. The Jets suck.
- Tennesse over The Chargers. LaDainian Tomlinson is the most over-rated running back in the game. His running reminds me of Montague's running style - like he is in a marching band.
- Washington over Dallas. I am a Dallas fan and thought they had a chance this year so they are going to lose every game just to piss me off. I, however will still pick Dallas every week but they will lose.
- Pittsburgh over Jacksonville. I like the colors of the Steeler's uniforms. Same as Boston's in hockey. Go Bruins!!! Posted by Picasa

"ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!!!!"
"The Greek" is back once again this season for his weekly football picks. I considered retirement but on top of my free entry into the pool for doing these picks, Ev racked his big head and also decided to give me a $100.00 bar tab at the hideaway to continue sharing my expertise for the lesser knowledgable people in the pool. Now on to the picks for opening week:

- Miami over Pittsburgh. Most people reading this might think that I am crazy to go against the reigning champs but most people are fools. In 7 of the last 8 years the champs from the previous year lost their opening game - "Superbowl Hangover".
- Carloina over Atlanta. The only athlete on the planet as overrated as Micheal Vick is Bode Miller.
- Tampa Bay over Baltimore. When two shitty teams play always take the home team. I have as much interest in seeing this game as I would seeing Celine Dion in concert if the doctor told me I had 24 hours to live.
- New England over Buffalo. Buffalo are terrible and deserve to be after letting Doug Fluttie go a few years ago when he was just reaching his prime.
- Cincinnati over Kansas City. Chad Johnson's rain dance after his first touch down will leave the Chiefs more disorganized than normal.
- Denver over St. Louis. Jake "The Snake" is back baby and ready to DDT the Rams.
- Cleveland over New Orleans. The Browns have a better team.
- Tennesse over The Jets. The Jets are as insecure as a Ferrari in the bronx with keys left in the ignition.
- Philly over Houston. There is only one winning team in Texas and it is not the Texans.
- Seattle over Detroit. Detroit has as much chance of winning this game as Lance Bass does of not being gay.
- Chicago over Green Bay. Ev Walsh's head alone would make a better O-line than what the Packers have.
- Dallas over Jacksonville. Duh!!! Some picks are just no-brainers and do not need an explanation.
- Arizona over San Francisco. They are called the 49'ers because it has been 49 years since they were good.
- Indy over The Giants. The only two athletes more overrated than Eli Manning are Bode Miller and Micheal Vick.
- Washington over Minnesota. I visited Washington once and had a great time. I was never in Minnesota.
- San Diego over Oakland. "Eddy Spagetti" did this pick for me and he added that, "Rolo is an idiot to go for Oakland". I personally do not see what going for Oakland has to do with it. Posted by Picasa

Farewell to Andre Agassi one of the greatest athletes of all time. Andre retired after yesterday's match at the US Open. He was by far the greatest tennis player of all time and more than likely no other player will ever reach the caliber he did. Have a great time with the rest of your life Andre - Thanks for the memories. Posted by Picasa

It must be a hard time to be an American as they can't seem to win anything these days. They can not win a war against a bunch of villagers in Iraq and yesterday their "powerhouse" basketball team lost to the MIGHTY GREEKS (who, by the way, have no NBA players on their team) in the semi-finals of the world championships. Posted by Picasa
