If you didn't get one, that just means (a) he doesn't like you as much as he likes me, or (b) he's sucking up to get a favorable write-up this week.
I'm going to go with "B," especially since he slipped a message on the back of the card that read:
JFL Super Bowl VIII
News: 132
Noise: 101
12/17/13 (21:28)
First of all, is that paying respect to my brother being in the Army reserves, going with the military time stamp?
Secondly, are you being nice to my brother?
Only 132-101?
I've got you winning by a lot more.
Seriously, this looks like Cowboys-Bills coming up. Remember those awful Super Bowls? You know, the Super Bowls that poor kids in third-world countries think that the Bills won?
The Noise is tossing out Matt Ryan, Steven Jackson and Harry Douglas, all at San Francisco. There is no way that the trio combine for more than 35 points. I do like DeMarco Murray to hit double-digits, and I think DeSean Jackson can get there, too, but outside of that, the Noise is in big trouble.
Especially because Jamaal Charles, Eric Decker and Josh Gordon are about to go Super crazy this week.
The matchups are just right for them to run away with this matchup. Josh Gordon, who had a "subpar" week with "only" 15.3 points last week, will get back up into the 20s, and Decker will score 15, as Wes Welker — a Noise key cog — will be out with an injury.
Charles will not score 50, and I'll even say he doesn't score 30, but 22 sounds just about right — and plenty enough to take care of the Noise. Let's put Pitta in the end zone, and I'll give the Dolphins a defensive TD, as well, putting the icing on the cake.
I know what you're thinking: "Man, Jimmy, you must be really pissed that your brother has still not paid you for the JFL yet."
And yes, I am a bit sour about that, but rest assured that I'm not biased in this preview.
Hell, I'd love for my brother to win. Means I can keep the trophy in the family. The Johnsons are looking for a third Super Bowl title on Monday. I can't let the Nikishes get their second. And I have to create some cushion between us and the Dunbars.
So here's to the Noise pulling off the shocker on Monday night because that's when all three of those Atlanta Falcon bums play.
The Noise will be right here at my house on Sunday watching the Red Zone Channel, and likely witnessing all the TDs scored by the aforementioned News Teamers. And if Nikish is in town, I highly recommend stopping by. With it being 60 degrees, I'm firing up the grill. Come on over.
Nevertheless, by the end of the Red Zone day, the Noise will have a decent idea of how many points his trio of birds need to score on Monday night. He'll just have to wait for the News Team's final bird to finish up on Sunday night. And in that game, the Noise will hope for TD pass to just DeSean Jackson.
Wishful thinking, but if he's within 30 points heading into Sunday night, that's what he'll need: TDs to DeSean Jackson. Anything less will spell doom and a second Super Bowl loss for the Noise — also a fifth for the Johnsons.
That's right. Together, Craig and I are 2-4 in Super Bowls, which also is why I want him to win. We need to get back to .500. #babysteps
So, with that, I say: Let's go Noise! Sorry, Nikish. You'll forgive me when you place the trophy in a place that makes Crystal yearn for the 2014 season.
