This Week's Picks

Here at Picks Central, we are breaking in with breaking news.

Of course, I'm talking about the impending divorce of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. This news officially broke Twitter when it was announced.

Our major news outlets have weighed in. USA Today has a story titled "BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE: WHAT WE NOW KNOW".   Basically, what we now know is that they are getting a divorce and they have six children: Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 8.  (I lost count after Pax, but I knew they had a slew of them.)

From the Hollywood Desk of This Week's Picks, the story is that Brad Pitt, who was once married to Jennifer Aniston, had an affair with a beautiful actress I have never heard of, which caused Angelina Jolie to file for the divorce, despite the irony that Pitt was married to Aniston when he had an affair with Jolie.

A couple of things. One, most guys are very jealous of Brad Pitt because many beautiful women want to make sweet love to him even though he's never won a Super Bowl. Two, most guys never would have cheated on Jennifer Aniston, but most guys aren't Brad Pitt.

This Week's Picks!


Doggies vs Ole Mess:  Our pal Nick, This Week's Picks UGA correspondent, has this theory called "Georgia Grease". Georgia has been "sliding by" in winning the exceptionally close games.  Nick says  Georgia makes the grease that it can "slide by" on. Think of it as "a man makes his own luck". It's not The String Theory but there's something to it.  Ole Miss had a heartbreaker with Bama. They've lost two games against two good teams. I think the Rebels are a better team than the Bulldogs and that's not because my wife's hair stylist's son goes to Ole Miss. Ole Miss wins.

Bees vs Esso: Tech has its first big test against Clemson. Clemson hasn't played well. Tech has played Mercer. Oh, what the heck. Call this game The Lock of The Century of The Week. The Bees will stun the world on Thursday night. You saw it here first. Tech wins.


Weskhanson vs Meeshegan State: Wisconsin, which beat the college men of LSU that go in dumb and come out dumb too, almost lost to Georgia State. That's not quite as bad as UGA almost losing to Nicholls, but it is still not good. Michigan State is the other Michigan school. You know, the one without the funny helmets or the psycho coach. This should be a fairly enjoyable game. Spartans win.


Lizards vs Rocky Flop:   According to Pete and Repete of  "Moonshine In The Morning" on Knoxville's sports talk radio station WOOO radio, Florida has a great chance to win the SEC East because it is "wide open" meaning nobody in the SEC East is playing all that great.  The Gator quarterback was injured in last week's game against North Texas.  Tennessee seems like they are playing better. They are playing in Knoxville. This means if you hear banjo music, you must paddle faster. Tennessee wins

Piggies vs Aggies:  Bret Bielema, the Coach of The Arkansas Razorbacks, is the walking definition of "outkicking your coverage". He's this big ol' goofball of a man who is married to a smoking hot woman. (I say this strictly clinically). Unfortunately, his team is not smoking hot and they play in the SEC West.  Texas A&M is one of your better teams flying under the radar. Texas A&M wins.

Benny's Eagles vs Western Michigan: Here's big news-they found the real "GUS" at Georgia Southern and brought him back to Statesboro. Poor guy.  Georgia Southern is 3-0 and the internets are complaining about their play. Well, they'll have reason to on Saturday. Western Michigan wins.

The Hoots vs The Dukes: My beloved Kennesaw (pronounced "Kenny-saw") State Owls travel to Pittsburgh to play the Duquesne (pronounced "Due Kane") Dukes. Duquesne is a Catholic University, which is as close to Notre Dame as the Owls will get to in my life time. They are 2-1. Sorry, birds, they'll be 3-1 at the end of the day. Duquesne wins
