Hawaii Five O

Following the Jets Santonio Holmes overtime grab which would have led to a touchdown and subsequent six point win (more importantly the hooking of the book), I found myself experiencing the mother of all prison rapings as a Detroit Lions linebacker tracked him down to make a touchdown saving tackle. As a result, the Jets proceeded to run the ball right up the middle before knocking down the game winning overtime field goal. At that moment I could not help but question the bane of my existence. What was my costly error? Taking the road favorite. In this case I refused to adhere to my discipline and in the end, this cost me dearly.

Tonight's matchup between the Bengals and Steelers will no doubt feature the re- emergence of the common man. Throughout cities everywhere all one has to do is look around and spot the average dope wearing a big Ben or Hines Ward jersey. The Steelers are perhaps the best team in the league and feature the best overall balance of any team in the NFL. Factor in a loss to the Saints last week and the common man is chomping at the bits to lay the six points to this lousy Bengals team.

Last year the Bengals swept the Steelers and despite an abysmal start to the 2010 season, the Bengals did defeat the Baltimore Ravens in week two. While the Bengals are in complete disarray, I expect a spirited effort from this talented but undisciplined squad tonight. Although I am expecting the Steelers to pull out a victory, I will gladly take the Bengals and the points. The Release....Bengals +6 over the Steelers.

Congratulations to Marxy for running this years 2010 New York City Marathon in 2 hours and 46 minutes. In addition to braving the elements, specifically the wind, Marxy did so while wearing his trademark Hawaiian party shirt. As Marxy fist pumped his way through the five boroughs, the greatest display of support came from the good folks in Harlem who were enamored with his choice of attire. Chants of "run Hawaiian man run" served as a source of inspiration for the cultural icon best known for riding on the back of a garbage truck through the east village. Furthermore, when asked about the preparation that went into the race, Marxy merely replied "I was able to get a lot of practice runs in during the past few weeks and really cut down on the late night buffoonery". Well done Marxy, well done!
