A technical question, Swami:
Did you see last week where Donovan McNabb didn't know an NFL game could end in a tie? What does this have to say about Syracuse University?
P.S.U.
Dear Penn State:
In defense of Mr. McNabb, the NFL has a lot more rules than most people know. So as a public service, The Swami is here to point out rules that will undoubtedly come into play this during this week's games.
Oh, and because so many fans depend on Yours Truly for NFL advice, The Swami is also looking into his crystal ball to see who will benefit from the obscure rules:
-- Chicago Bears at St. Louis Rams: NFL rule No. 86.2232 states that any two teams that released bad rap videos in the 1980s will be judged on the field by their performance in said videos. For once, it appears the "Super Bowl Shuffle" is paying off for the Bears, because nothing is worse that the Rams' contribution to pop culture -- a feat of horror known as "Ram It" (warning: only watch the link if you don't mind having the phrase "Ram It" stuck in your head for hours that could turn into days). The Swami's pick: Bears.
-- Minnesota Vikings at Jacksonville Jaguars: NFL rule No. 08.25141 states that any time a player and his former coach threaten to fight each other during the week leading up to their teams squaring off, the game will be scrapped and the outcome will be settled by a 50-yard line cage match. That's bad news for Vikings coach Brad Childress, who is at a clear size disadvantage against Troy Williamson. The pick: Jaguars.
-- Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints: Rule No. 07.2827 states that the NFL will delay suspensions for banned substances for any player whose team is playing in a Monday night game, so as to keep the game competitive and keep fans glued to what is the league's Cash Cow. The pick: Saints.
-- New York Jets at Tennessee Titans: NFL rule No. 92.28382 states that any quarterback who was born the year Neil Armstrong walked on the moon must ... ah, screw it, just insert your own Brett Favre is old joke here. The pick: Titans.
