Hey Swami:
Where have your football picks been? I'm desperate for a win. The Cardinals and Ravens have been killing me with my bookie. Give me the winners for the conference championships, man.
Broken Thumbs
Dear Broke:
The Swami skipped the previous playoff games while enjoying an extended holiday season, celebrating clairvoyant feast days that would be lost on mere mortals, such as and the Shaman Solstice and La Dia de los Ojos.
Although this is not a bookmaking site nor does The Swami advocate recreational/compulsive gambling, here is what the crystal ball forecasts for Sunday:
-- Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals: Perhaps stealing a page from the Barack Obama playbook, Kurt Warner has let the world know that the fate of a puppy hangs on whether or not his team wins the Super Bowl. Unlike the White House, the Warner household will be free of soiled carpets in 2009. The pick: Eagles.
-- Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers: The last time the Ravens were this deep in the postseason, Ray Lewis was on probation and his team was about to become the most unpopular Super Bowl champion in history. The NFL kingmakers liked the evil-villain subplot in 2001; some marketing mistakes are only made once. The pick: Steelers.
