Update on 2004 articles
To answer your question Scott, Rich, Chris, Dave, Navid, Gregg, and Josh……I wrote a column in 2004. It was
called Random Thoughts.

Rivalry 2005
Nick v. everyone
Nick loves to talk trash and stir up some emotion out of his weekly opponent. It doesn’t matter who you are or if Nick
has never spoken to you, he’ll attack you on the message boards. Add to that his continued hatred with me, his
bitter rival. And you got the man with the most rivalries next to Marc.

Jay v. Brian
Will I ever beat this guy?

Chris v. any Yankee fan
Can’t wait till November, then you all can stop talking about this.

Jarrett v. spelling
He was doing well up until that one long ass post about where to go for MNF. Give him the benefit of the doubt and
let’s just say he was intoxicated when he wrote it.

Dave v. losing
So far, so good.

Fantasy v. Reality 2005
Born to Run My Mouth – New Orleans Saints
‘No need to explain this one.’

5 Second Stare – Dallas Cowboys
‘Just finding a way to win.’

Shermtank – Oakland Raiders
‘Both had high expectations coming into the season. So far both have not met them.”

Brock’s Bandits – San Diego Chargers
‘Both could be 4-0, but were on the losing ends of some close contests’

Nose – Washington Redskins
‘Wins the low scoring ones. People question whether both are as good as records show.’

New Jersey Jacobins – New York Giants
‘Wins against bad teams. Bad loss against good ones.’

Colt 45’s – Jacksonville Jaguars
‘Everyone’s sexy pick to win it this year. So far, mixed results.’

Nomads in the Deep – New England Patriots
‘Who wants to discount the defending champs?’

Duckville Quakers – Carolina Panthers
‘Never know which team will show up.’

Brick Walls and Trees – Indianapolis Colts
‘Undefeated thanks to defense, but can score points when necessary.’

Married with Ravens – Minnesota Vikings
‘High powered offense that turns the ball over too much and doesn’t score’

Baltimore Tools – Miami Dolphins
‘Well respected leader that does the most with the team he has.’

Propoganda – Green Bay Packers
‘Well respected man running the show, but time makes a difference.’

Blade Brown – Tennessee Titans
‘Both are coordinated offensively.’
