Correct picks in bold. Yes, we're losing. Already. To two boys and a mom. Accepting our defeat with uncharacteristic grace, however, we shift our focus to the week ahead:

LiviaHarlowe: pladd and i are making our week 2 predictions. what say you?
Nastinchka: I don't know.....my hopes are so tied up in HOPING the Pats will lost to the Broncos, I don't feel comfy predicting they'll win. (Even though I think they will.)
LiviaHarlowe: thats the only game we're having trouble calling
LiviaHarlowe: i'm taking redskins, panthers, and colts
Nastinchka: Redskins over (Who the hell are they playing?) Seattle?
LiviaHarlowe: yup.
Nastinchka: The NFC games are so off my radar. What about Carolina?
LiviaHarlowe: bears
Nastinchka: Ok. I'll take Seahawks, Bears, and Colts.
Nastinchka: You really think Carolina can take Chicago? At Chicago, after the way the Panthers played yesterday?
LiviaHarlowe: Yup. Everyone is lining up to blow the Bears' defense, but they're coming off a long break, and the Panthers are more motivated.
Nastinchka: Cool. Ok. Seattle, Chicago, Indy, and (fuck it), Denver.
Nastinchka: I'm in.
LiviaHarlowe: i'm telling you, kyle orton will not do better against the panthers than poor eli did.
LiviaHarlowe: i wanna pick denver too
LiviaHarlowe: but i'm afraid
LiviaHarlowe: because i only want to pick them because i hate the pats so much
Nastinchka: I'd rather throw my support (and voodoo) to the Broncos than be wrong when they lose.
LiviaHarlowe: then again, i wont finalize my picks until friday, so they might change my mind before then.
Nastinchka: Yesh.
Nastinchka: I don't think Denver will win either. But I think they need all the help they can get.
LiviaHarlowe: Wasn't trying to force your picks. Unlike Sean, who tried to bully me into picking the Panthers last week
LiviaHarlowe: (although maybe i should have listened, in hindsight)
LiviaHarlowe: denver might pull it out. the homefield advantage will be a huge factor.
Nastinchka: I fucking hope so. I had to root for the damn Steelers yesterday so NE would go to Denver instead of Indy.
LiviaHarlowe: same thing i did

LiviaHarlowe: okay, philip, calm down.
LiviaHarlowe: breathe through your nose.
pladdtn82: 1-0 is possible i think
pladdtn82: isn't a forfeit scored as 1-0? i predict they forfeit
LiviaHarlowe: they wouldn't forfeit that game even if they had to start an actual snake in the place of jake.
pladdtn82: umm...if Chris Wienke had to start, I'd forfeit
pladdtn82: snake > Wienke
LiviaHarlowe: if Chris Weinke had to start, I would dress a chimpanzee in his uniform and chloroform him and put him in a dumpster somewhere. Chimpanzee > Weinke.

pladdtn82: except the whole ravens thing.
LiviaHarlowe: the ravens make me sad. sad, like seeing a homeless guy begging for change. it's the exact same feeling, actually.

Nastinchka: Hey, I'm gonna post our picks from last week.
LiviaHarlowe: What was your record last week? And no, I don't want any record of me picking Eli Manning posted publicly. Let's just start with this week.
Nastinchka: 2-2. Fucking Tampa Bay.
LiviaHarlowe: Eli shamed my house.
Nastinchka: Hey, I picked him too.
LiviaHarlowe: He brought dishonor to us all.
LiviaHarlowe: You can post my pick if you post that quote with it.

LiviaHarlowe: isn't it funny how we're the two biggest football fans, and we're somehow at the bottom of this? thespis is cruel.
LiviaHarlowe: that'll teach us to bet with our hearts.
Nastinchka: This is what we get for loving Mannings more than reason.
LiviaHarlowe: Yup. and TIKI BARBER betrayed me too. and i LOVE him. someone should remind him that we do not become football players to pursue our own destinies. we are geisha.
Nastinchka: Leave.
LiviaHarlowe: going now.
