Mailbag: Yeah, OK, Raiders pick might require a do-over
By Pete "Chiefs suck" Prisco
Our NFL season predictions were put up Wednesday night. Twenty-four hours later, my Super Bowl winner was 0-1.
Needless to say, the pick of the Oakland Raiders as the champions, followed by their loss to the New England Patriots on opening night, opened me up to a barrage of e-mails questioning my sanity.
Friday morning, there was even some thought on my part that I wished I could change the pick. Nope, I'm sticking to it ... unless the Raiders go to 0-2 this week, then I am taking the pick back.
It's called a mulligan.
Now for the mail:
From: Jeff Weber
Following the reading of your fearless predictions, I have one question about your pick of Oakland. Do you think you may be watching a little too much of The That's 70's Show? Let me know the e-mail address of the closest nut house where I can send a request that they cart you away.
Jeff: Groovy, dude. Like, I really do think the Raiders will win it. Peace, brother.
From: Ron
The Raiders? You are kidding right? Is this your way of making people like me write you something? I guess it worked. We all know that you are not that stupid.
Ron: In our business, we call that shock journalism. But, no, I really believe it. I think.
From: Evyn
I have never laughed so hard. I didn't realize you were a comedian, but from the look of your rankings, it sure seems that way!
Evyn: I guess since Dave Chappelle went nuts, maybe I'm looking to fill that spot on Comedy Central. By the way, anybody seen that guy? Try looking at the Martin Lawrence home for messed-up comedians. Something says you might find him on a couch somewhere.
From: Dean Sizemore
Quick grab the over the counter drug test. Pete's lost it. He said something nice about the Chiefs! I hope whatever you're taking or whatever you have you get better soon. I've never seen you say anything nice about the Chiefs. The Colts, yes. Kansas City, never.
Dean: I love Jack Stack Barbecue and think Kevin Harlan is one of the best. Isn't that something nice to say about Kansas City?
From: Nick
Pete, Are you going to take back your pick of the Raiders? There is no way they get near the playoffs with Collins as their quarterback and that secondary.
Nick: See above. No taking back the pick. The Raiders bounce back this week against the Chiefs. Sorry, Chiefs fans.
