Reid Kerr's Blog

My picks for the weekend are up, including…

Houston (-3.5) at Jacksonville: If NFL teams were holiday food, the Jaguars would be the equivalent of that one casserole dish where it doesn’t matter what the ingredients are, it just never comes together. You have high hopes when you scoop it onto your plate, then you feed it to the dog when no one else is looking.

I have an idea for a new reality TV show, a crossover between HGTV and the ID Network. In the first show, we see a couple buying a house in need of refurbishing, they budget things out and hire a contractor.

Then in the second show, they hire a bounty hunter to track that contractor down after he disappears off the face of the Earth with their money after leaving them with a house where raising the garage door flips the AC breaker, and every time they flush the toilet the kitchen sink backs u...

My Thanksgiving and Friday NFL picks are in, along with my long list of sports things I’m thankful for this year. Check out the link here for semi-insightful commentary like this…

And I am thankful (something something) the Jets. Seriously, guys, I’ve run out of jokes about this franchise, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the final weeks of the season. Will they bench Aaron Rodgers? Will Woody Johnson land his helicopter on the fifty yard line during a game and fire everybody? Who know...

Over my lunch hour, I somehow dropped a full glass of tea into a cat litter box. So if you’re wanting to know how my holiday weekend is going…eh. About as expected, thanks for asking.

My new column for NFL Week 12 is up here, featuring such questionable insight on the worst Sunday of football ever as…

Baltimore (-2.5) at LA Chargers: The Harbaugh brothers are a fascinating contrast. Both are successful, but John is a Super Bowl winning coach who has had a very stable career, while Jim’s history is much closer to what I’d refer to as “Drunk Gary Busey with a can of gasoline and a Zippo.”

My NFL humor column is up for the week, featuring my picks for not only the games, but also the top five most frustrating franchises this season.

Cincinnati (+1.5) at LA Chargers: The rest of the league this year is 41-4 when scoring thirty-three points or more. Somehow, the Bengals are 2-3 when they score that many. That is an amazingly depressing stat. it’s like having a losing record when the opposing team forgets to come back out after halftime.

My all-sarcasm NFL picks for the week are up here, including mailbag questions on the Dallas Cowboys without Dak, the Saints troubles, and a team that doesn’t get enough credit for being awful.

Philadelphia (-7.5) at Dallas: The Cowboys losing Dak for a month or more and still trading for another receiver is like rotating the tires on that car sitting in your front yard that hasn’t run since 1996.

Saw a big display of these at the local dollar store. These are “Magic Towels,” you soak them in water and they expand into…a cheap washcloth. And better yet, it’s very scratchy.

These are easily the worst Christmas gift imaginable. Even at a dollar, it somehow manages to be both cheap, and a waste of money.

This is the worst Christmas gift you can possibly give someone. I would rather find a severed foot in my stocking tha...
