Upon Further Review Week 12


Upon Further Review…

...It is pretty funny, after all.  Just ask Derek Anderson.  He woke up to the reality that he’s a member of the Arizona Cardinals.  You’d laugh too.

...Cortland Finnegan is an idiot. And the NFL is getting rich off of these fines.  $25,000 each for Johnson and Finnegan’s throw-down, but I say it shouldn’t be as much about the players as the kids who are watching.  Sit those players for a week and you send a message that this kind of poor sportsmanship is not condoned.

...Maybe mid-season coaching changes aren’t such a bad idea.  The popular thinking is that they don’t work.  Don’t tell the Cowboys and the Vikings that. 

...Jon Gruden is not going to the University of Miami.  How many times does he have to say that he’s not leaving Monday Night Football?  Wait… the Cowboys are on line one?  He’ll take that call.

...Sabby Piscitelli is a Cleveland Brown?  Yep, we love you Sabby.  If we didn’t, we’d have traded you to Buffalo before the trade deadline passed.  America, get ready to meet another Bucs safety named Lynch!

...Deja-vu?  Brett says he’s going to retire.  No, really this time.  But his wife would rather have him practicing and playing football.  She’s noticed that when he’s laying around the house his texting bill goes through the roof.

...Spygate in Denver.  Pat Bowlen says that Coach McDaniels is safe.  What will the Commish do?  Broncos fans are hoping the league extinguishes Josh’s torch and puts him off the island.

And it’s time for this week’s picks.  Major upsets this week.  You ready?  Cavs over Heat. Eagles over Texans; Bengals over Saints; Bears over Lions; Packers over Niners; Titans over Jags; Chiefs over Broncos; Dolphins over Browns; Vikes over Bills; Giants over Redskins; Bucs over Falcons; Chargers over Raiders; Rams over Cardinals (in a laugher); Seahawks over Panthers; Colts over Cowboys; Ravens over Steelers; Patriots over Jets.

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.
