Week 17:
"Two Minute" Tim
The Tim Verdict
You may want to sit down for this news...
Sure there are all the Johnny-come-900-numbers-lately telling you they have 10 star, 20 star, 100 star, 1000 star games of the week, month, year...
Big Deal!
I am about to unveil the ultimate showstopper...
Nothing...
Less...
Than...
The...
Game of the Eternity!
All your dreams have come true. The facts are this, if you had only one bet you could make in eternity, I am about to tell you what that game should be. This is not some bland old "AFC West revenge game of the month" - NO! This is the real deal, the best game of ALL TIME! In ANY SPORT!
MAX OUT THE CREDIT CARDS!
REVERSE MORTGAGE UP THE YING YANG!
ROB STEAL AND (my favorite) EMBEZZLE!
Whatever it takes so you can load up on this game I'm about to disclose.
So sure am I that this pick is absolute rock solid that I am making a simple guarantee: if it doesn't win, I will never show my face again in these here parts.
Here's the play:
GREEN BAY -5
Game of eternity factoids:
- Brett Favre beloved by the NFL world potentially retiring
- Horrible, horrible season so far for Favre (in the immortal words of Leonard Cohen, "Hey, that's no way to say goodbye")
- Favre playing last game at Lambeau, last game period?
- Faces a team with absolute no concern about winning
- Here's the kicker: the opposing coach is Mike Holmgren, who loves Favre more than anyone in the game, thanks to the Green Bay Super Bowl days
When the opposing head coach wants to see you not only win but shine, then my friends you have a game of the eternity.
Lay the Points folks! Do it now as the line will continue to climb.
