Welcome to “Picking Up The Blitz”.  It’s new feature that’s, shall we say, tidbit based in chocolatey goodness.  It might be just a little scad of information I wish to impart on you or it could be a miriad of bits that I want to cover you with.  Either way you know I’m bored.  And folks we may not just stick to sports either.

Even though the New England Patriots scored 34 points against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon they’re average points per game dropped to 38.7 per contest.  This puts them behind the NFL record of 38.8 points per game set by the 1950 Los Angeles Rams.  But don’t worry the next two weeks they play the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins so look for the average to get a boost.  And a big one. 

Yes kids, the Rams used to play in Los Angeles.  They even played in one Super Bowl as the LA Rams before they moved to the STL to replace the Cardinals who moved to Arizona.  Yup there were two teams named the St. Louis Cardinals, there were also two teams named the New York Giants.  Okay okay that’s your history lesson for the day.

Is it me or does New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini need some Proactiv or Clean & Clear?  Maybe Santa will be good to the squealer and bring him some with his coal.

Do you think Chris Berman has any idea how old and tired his act is?  I mean it was clever 20-years ago but now it’s like watching your dog chase it’s tail.  You’ve seen it before and in the end the result never changes.

No one can say that Bobby Petrino is stupid.  No sir-ee.  After inking a five year deal to coach the Atlanta Falcons last off season he resigned today and looks like he is going to go coach at Arkansas in the SEC.  Wonder how long he’ll stay there?  We all remember when he was at Louisville it seemed liked every year he contemplated taking one or two different jobs before bolting for Arthur Blanks Home Depot money.

I for one may just vote for Hilary Clinton.  I wouldn’t do it because I love her policies or her politics but because I really feel like America misses Bill.  Do you remember how much fun he was to have around?  Just think of the stuff he accomplished over those eight years and THIS TIME he would have nothing but time on his hands and college interns on the table, the couch, the floor, in the shower.  My word, Hilary goes out of the country for a summitt and the White House will be turned into the newest Gold Club location. 

Ok it’s time to make like Charlie Steiner and “follow me…follow me to freedom” because I’m outta here.
