Today's NFL prediction is ....

The good thing about a blog is I can come back and change things at any time.

So here it is, my NFL championship predictions.

The Saints and Colts in the Super Bowl.

It's about one-half hour before the Colts and Jets face off, as the original timeline of me writing this blog will attest to that. Now, I can come back later tonight and change my mind and the timeline will be the same. Thanks Blogger.

Now that I have that in your head, you're wondering did he really pick the Colts and the Saints? If you listened to Sportsline Live on Friday, that's what I said.

I also said I wouldn't be shocked if it was the Vikings and Jets. I'm covering my behind on this a bit, I admit, but, like they say, "On any given Sunday..."

I pick the Saints for one main reason -- they are home in the Superdome. If this game was in the Metrodome, I'd pick the Vikings, as much as that pains a Packers fan to say.

This could be an offensive shoooout, to say the least. With that said, the game will probably be decided on a defensive play, like the Cardinals-Packers.

I pick the Colts because they are a better team, period, and they have Peyton Manning. That doesn't mean I think it will be an Indy rout. I have to admit, I've been impressed with the Jets, but they are a New York team and that's all I will say about that.

So here it is: Colts vs. Saints in the Super Bowl. Or Colts vs. Vikings; Jets vs. Saints; Jets vs. Vikings; Colts vs. Vikings.

I'll let you know tonight who I really picked.

Mr. Thompson goes to Washington

No, this is not a remake of Jimmy Stewart's 1939 classic movie, "Mr. Smith goes to Washington." Mr. Thompson is Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson, who spent Thursday and Friday pleading his case that the current BCS football playoff system ... well, kind of sucks. The only problem is Congress is not in session. Evidently, they are on the President Obama World Tour drumming up support for the porkulus bill ... uh, I mean stimulus bill that was signed earlier in the week. Thompson is spreading the word to people who will spread the word to Congress when their travel expenses run out and they have to return to Washington. You have to give Thompson an A for effort. At least he is trying to get something done. Unfortunately, he's probably barking up the wrong tree. Putting the BCS in the hands of Congress is like having your alcoholic friend watch a six-pack of Bud Lite for you that you are anxiously looking forward to at the end of the day. I'd...

More "I hate Brett Favre" ranting

I probably should see somebody about this, but I can't stop dumping on Brett Favre . Well, this seems to be normal for most Packers' fans these days. I caught a blog by Green Bay Press-Gazette assistant online editor Jeff Ash that I found amusing. Ash blog I kind of fell off my ESPN and NFL Network boycott last night and this morning. I admit, I did check out both networks. Well, at least until the latest Favre love-fest . Of course, it was just a warm-up for tonight's Vikings-Chiefs preseason game. More loving to come.

Thanks for the memories

As I put my watch up to my ear, I expect to hear click, click, click, as each second moves forward. Kind of like my current days as a sportswriter ... click, click, click. For some reason, though, the watch is silent as it continues time. Again, kind of like my current days of operating Wyoming Sports.org. Yikes, cliche' overload here. The simple fact is my sports website is probably on its last leg. I say probably because in two weeks I will begin a new job as news copy editor/designer for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle in Cheyenne. Not only will I not have the time to cover local sporting events in Laramie, I can see my new employers likely not wanting me to compete against the WTE's fine sports staff. It makes perfect sense and I totally understand. When the position opened a while back, with my wife's blessing and encouragement, I decided to apply for the job. Friday night I was offered the position and I accepted. I do admit it will be a little strange not being a sportswr...
