Let’s See Who’s For Real


In Pewter We Trust ~

We start the second quarter of our season, the first one in the books at 3-1.  How about we start this four game stretch against the reigning Super Bowl Champs?  Will the world take us seriously if we hold our own? 

I am so very thankful the Bucs read my last article and went out and found a new punter.  It has to be an upgrade—I mean, all the kid has to do is punt more than 20 yards and it’ll be an improvement.

Hey, just wondering—what ever happened to Maurice Stovall?  Any sightings in and around Tampa? 

Cody ‘Son-of-a-HOFer’ Grimm will face a stout test againt the Saints.  How do you think he’ll do?  Better bring his A game. 

Around The League ~

Must win for Dallas.  Must win for Minnesota.  I’m not intellectual, but something tells me these two teams are on a collision course.  I say the loser misses out on he post-season.

And in Buffalo, it’s the bye week.  Is Chan Gailey’s house for sale yet?

The Commish summoned Brett Favre to meet with him on Tuesday.  You know what that means?  Mrs. Commish received a text message.

Let’s get to the picks.  I don’t want to talk about last week.  So here we go again.  Like the Bucs punting game, I can only improve, right?  Bears over S’Hawks; Pats over Ravens; Giants over Lions; Eagles over Falcons (Welcome back, Mr. Vick!); Steelers over Browns; Packers over Dolphins; Chargers over Rams; Bucs over Saints (definitely a heart pick); Niners over Raiders; Jets over Broncos; Vikings over Cowboys; Colts over R’Skins; Titans over Jags.

About Darin:

Darin Shaw has served as the Senior Pastor at Christ's Church of Amherst, N.H., since January 2000. He's written a few blurbs, led a few projects and produced a few cool things over the years. The very best of what he's produced are four wonderful girls - Amanda, Katie, Becky and Emily - he managed to pull that off along with his lovely wife Shari. Together they all live in a red house surrounded by lots of trees in the same community with lots of really great people. He is known to hang out on Sunday mornings with people of a much higher caliber than he, and counts that among life's greatest privileges. Then, on Sunday afternoons, Darin and his family settle in for the full slate of NFL games, shouting loudest when the Buccaneers take the field.

Key Stats: 6-2, 240 ... 16-year veteran of Pastoral Ministry out of Florida Bible College and Southwestern Bible College and Theological Seminary ... Boasts of being able to count on one hand the number of Buccaneers games he has missed (either having been there in person, watched on television, or listened to the radio) since they entered the NFL in 1976. ... Sports a lifetime 74 percent accuracy in NFL prognostication ... Certifiable Jesus freak; loving husband; devoted father; zealous blogger.
