Sorry I didn't get out the NFL Awards predictions today, I'll try to get it out sometime prior to the games on Sunday. But we'll see lots of drinking is to be done this weekend.

The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s.
