THURSDAY OCT. 23, 2025

Here we go...the big Thursday night show...or newsletter at least. Here is some stuff I like and hope you like too...

Before we start--super special thanks to all of the folks who just joined this week from the Nation's Burgers promos. You all are the best and have made a bad week a great one! I truly appreciate each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart and I hope you enjoy this newsletter as much as the other one... (maybe more?????)!

Now let's get to it!

NFL WEEK 8

This used to be the halfway point in the season, but because God loves America and Football the most, he gave us an extra game. It's because I had to go to mass so often at Catholic school. You are welcome.

I feel like it is important to say at the offset that I am not a licensed bookie. My dad used to call me Jimmy the Geek. It was very inspiring. I also did not play any part in the FBI/NBA sting this morning...mainly because I am short and unathletic and the mob did not ask me to be involved...cuz I probably would have said yes... Here are the picks!

• THU NIGHT | VIKINGS @ CHARGERS | PICK: CHARGERS

  • Carson Wentz will reclaim his former Wentz-ness and throw four interceptions instead of his normal 3. Chargers win! (Sorry Denise!!!)

• SUN | DOLPHINS @ FALCONS | PICK: FALCONS

  • Kirk Cousins will throw a clipboard in his only throw of the year. It will hit Tua, who will suffer another concussion and the Falcons will win. Tyreek will still find a way to destroy the Dolphins locker room even though he will be watching from home.

• SUN | BEARS @ RAVENS | PICK: RAVENS

  • I cannot make myself get behind the Bears. Maybe it's because I lived in Chicago and my bones are still unthawing along with my sensibilities. Ravens get right.

• SUN | BILLS @ PANTHERS | PICK: BILLS

  • This is the game that makes it look like Josh Allen is Joe Montana at the year's end. A Stat-Padder as the kids call it. (That is probably not true. I do not know any kids who have ever said that and I just made it up).

• SUN | JETS @ BENGALS | PICK: BENGALS

  • Joe Flacco does it again...but then gets confused and doesn't remember what "it" is. Joe Aflac-o insures the victory. (lame pun. Sorry).

• SUN | 49ERS @ TEXANS | PICK: 49ERS

  • In this week's battle of the "Huh?" game, Mac Jones battles CJ Stroud in a game .07% of America tunes in for.

• SUN | BROWNS @ PATRIOTS | PICK: PATRIOTS

  • Can Drake Maye win again???...I mean...May Drake Maye win again??? However you ask, the answer is yes.

• SUN | GIANTS @ EAGLES | PICK: GIANTS

  • E-A-G-L-E-S LOSE!!! In addition to using Hooked on Phonics for their team cheer (it's the only word they can spell there), Eagles overlook the Giants and get killed by a dart...Jaxson Dart, the rookie phenom with the ridiculously spelled name but big game talent.

• SUN | BUCS @ SAINTS | PICK: BUCS

  • A get right game for Baker and the boys. This is why teams love the 'Aints--a game to fix what is broken.

• SUN | COWBOYS @ BRONCOS | PICK: BRONCOS

  • I know, I know...Cowboys have the best offense in football. It's because Dak gets quality sleep on a posturepedic mattress. His sleep number better be 34 cause that's how many points it will take to beat the Broncos. Not gonna happen. Broncos win.

• SUN | TITANS @ COLTS | PICK: COLTS

  • Daniel Jones gets to pretend his comeback is legit by playing the worst team in the NFL..This game should be on Nickelodeon.

• SUN NIGHT | PACKERS @ STEELERS | PICK: STEELERS

  • Aaron Rodgers has a game to remember...except he can't. He's too old. After the game, he and the other Steelers visit a malt shop where they dance to the oldies from Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey.

• MON NIGHT | COMMANDERS @ CHIEFS | PICK: CHIEFS

  • I am a Chiefs homer for sure, but does anyone else think its weird they only play home games??? Chiefs are never on the road and on TV at the same time. I love Arrowhead and I cry when I see my season tickets seats (my mom and sister have them now--the tradition continues!), but it is a little ridiculous... Just saying.

NEW DEVICE I BOUGHT

I think it is odd when chubby fellas like me tell other people they bought a fitness device, but that is exactly what I did. I'm pretty sure Hume does not want me as a spokesperson, but I don't care. In my head I am peak Lance Armstrong (minus the doping...and the bike). I am dating Sheryl Crow, hanging out on my ranch in Texas, and constantly monitoring my fitness. Having said that, I bought a Hume Band (https://humehealth.com/) to go along with my Hume Scale. I get no money now or ever from mentioning things I am buying or like btw... just sharing something dumb i did. I'm like the guy who has a library of books I never read. Hopefully just having these things will inspire me to get in good shape again. I will let you know!
